Wow! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted! I’ve just been SOOOOO busy with camp and all.
So Creative Arts (my new camp that Aaron recomended) has been SOOOO much fun! I take two movie classes and we are making great movies! And yes it IS advanced enough. Also, I’m taking an animated cartoons class, fencing, and a british acting class! It’s SOOOO much fun!
Anyway, one more week and it’s over but I’m going to Florida to see Uncle Bob, Aunt Linda, Gina, Grandma, Grandpa (basically, YOU) and I’m (of course) bringing my video camera along!
That’s it for now! Bye!
War of the Worlds is not a kids movie (OOOOPPPPSSS!!!!) but it is very well done. It is by Steven Spielberg who, as far as I know, has never gone wrong in making a movie. Anyway, the story starts out with Ray, the main character (Tom Cruise) living his normal life in a suburban New Jersey under a highway. It’s that time when the sun is about to set, and he’s playing baseball with his son. He and his wife are divorced, and he has to take care of the kids.
Then theres a lightning storm and lightning hits in the same place a few blocks away dozens of times. People from around the area go to see what had happened, Ray also. A huge spider-robot monster thingy comes out and starts zapping people. Okay, okay - this sounds a little babyish, so I’ll just tell you that this is on the higher side of PG-13, meaning that it is closer to R than to PG.
The movie is scary, but dazzling, and the special effects are awesome. Just go and see it if you think you can handle it!

Unlike Spiderman and the other superhero movies, The Fantastic Four main plot isn’t about saving the city, but trying to get back to their normal selves. The beginning of the movie is fast paced, and aobut 10-15 minutes in they have already been exposed to the storm. The movie is more about how “The Thing” or Ben can handle his power; he is a huge monster, and he can’t even pick up a ring from the ground because his fingers are too big.
But Johnny Storm, who got the best can catch on fire and fly. He’s kind of the guy who gets all the publicity - he likes it. Most of the movie is about inner conflicts and conflicts BETWEEN the fantastic four.
But then there was another man on the craft who’s company was ruined by accident by the Fantastic Four. So he’s basically the bad guy and theres a huge fight in the end and then it’s over.
The movie isn’t great, but it’s worth seeing.

We just took a trip upstate this weekend! I’m currently working on the movie that I took with my BRAND NEW VIDEO CAMERA (!!!!!!!!!!) that is really cool! Meanwhile, here are some pictures that (okay, okay) my mom took:
Me and Mr. Vancy Pants (I DON’T CARE ABOUT GRAMMAR ANY MORE!!! IT’S SUMMER!!!) ride on the spinny thingy that makes you dizzy whizzy.
Here’s a picture of Lulu and Andrews face from the nose down. Lulu pulled my hair today, and it REALLY hurt!!!
And on the way home we ate at no other than McDonalds with the world-wide infamous Ronald McDonald!!! (Just saying his name makes me feel dizzy!)
