Mia's Musings: Breaking Dawn Part 2

                                              

Before I begin this post I would like to say I am no way a Twi-hard. I went through a phase in Year 5 (?) where I read the books and was completely obsessed. I look back on those day and wonder in awe what I found so fascinating about a sparkly man that ran like a chicken with a gormless looking Bella hanging off his back.
When Frankie booted up Amazon movies and selects Breaking Dawn Pt 2, it was groans all around. I had seen this film in cinema with a few of my friends, and at the time had thought it was good. Not amazing, good. I wanted to watch it again,  maybe to see if I was wrong, or maybe purely for the fact there is a decent fight at some point.
On comes some weird soppy, lovey, vampiric music and the first credits start appearing. At this point I already have my head in my hands. Despite this, I survived the 5 minutes of endless opening credits and was welcomed by the image of a heavily airbrushed Kristen Stewart.
I did actually watch the film.
It contains a lot of snogging which I don't particularly like, as you may be able to tell from the pile of invisible puke besides the sofa, and also is just too... lovey. Despite this, it has good fight scenes and the special effects are OK.
On this occasion I think the age guidelines are appropriate and the movie is OK but not amazing. Factoring all of this into account, I would give it a total of 3 out of 5 stars.


Breaking Dawn Part 2
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Scary CGI Baby
Estimated Running time: 115 minutes approx
Certificate: 12a
Director: Bill Condon

Frankie's thoughts on: Rain Man

    Rain Man was a very bizarre film about a boy who does not think he has a brother but when his farther dies and leaves 3 million pounds with a random person he is intrigued and investigates to get his share of the money. But it turns out that this random person isn't that random and is in fact his autistic brother Raymond. When Charlie ( the not autistic brother) kidnaps his brother a bond forms together and rather then being a kidnapper he decides that he wants to spend the rest of his life looking after his brother.
     As I have said before it is a very bizarre film and is quite hard to follow, it also seems to be a very old film because the photography is poor and a bit grainy, you can also tell because Tom Cruse is young.
     I very highly rate this film and I hope that if you ever decide to watch it that you enjoy it very much.

Frankie's thoughts on: Ways to live forever

Ways to live forever is a very realistic book on a boy with a horrible disessease, what really got to me was the fact that in scrawled writing on the back of the book it says " by the time you have read this book I will be dead". It's quite comforting though because in the first few chapters he says " death is a gift from he whom sits on clouds so you can forever be with him". It is quite an atheist book although i would not not recommend it to Christians. This is a truly great book as it opens your eyes to the life outside your own and that not everybody's perfect.

99.9% out of 99.9%

P.S. I am really looking forward to reading the sequel "season of secretes"

Love Actually

Love Actually  (15)
Yep. So. T'was about 5 days after the birth of Christ in 2013 when my father turned the T.V on, located the remote from under the sofa where it was chilling with the fluff-balls and turned on this movie. To start off with, I had no idea what my father was playing at, but I guess it was a bit of a surprise.
When Bill Nighy struts on and starts singing in his flat, but somewhat entertaining singing voice which is closely followed by a string of swearwords, you know you're up for a treat.
It is an absouletly hilarious film and highly recommend it to anybody about my age and above. It is a rude film with bad language and some scenes of a yucky nature, but the plot is hilarious and you are guaranteed a treat! Give it a shot!

Frankie's foughts on Cyber-bully

  

Cyber bully is a movie about a girl in her teens who gets bullied on her new laptop.
She meets this so called guy who makes friends with her and then says horrible things about her witch affects her at school as well as on her laptop.
There are some distressing scenes though.
I think most kids that are allowed should watch it as it opens your eyes to the risks of the internet.

age rated 12

frankies thouts on angus thongs and perfect snogging

This movie is all about a girls called Georgia trying to catch the eye of a new boy to the school who she thinks is hot!!!! Thoae he is going off with her arch rival! It is a very funny movie but as you can probably tell from the title a lot of snogging!!!(gross) but over all or is a ferry good movie full of all the embarrassing bits most teens come across. Very good rating 4.5 stars but not really suitable for younger viewers as certified 12 and is a bit inappropriate at parts

Frankies foughts on: Moonrise kingdom

suzy and sam together

Moonrise kingdom is a weird wacky movie about two 12 year olds who are in love and want to live together for the rest of there lives, only the problem is that suzy has really strict parents and both of them have to run away though its not so hard for sam as he is at scouts. It is really funny in a weird way.
 I would rate it from ages 9 to adult
Frankie.

Mia's Musings: Jaws

BEWARE: THIS MOVIE IS NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH 

Well, yesterday evening on the TV we watched JAWS.

It was relatively gruesome.

It is set in Amity Island and started off with a woman getting attacked at the beginning, but it really sucks because you don't get to see her left-overs. The chief of Police, Brody, wants to shut down the beaches, and then another incident happens. One by one, people are going down, getting eaten by the Great White Shark. There may be other sharks that get accused, they maybe some scary scenes, but in the end, Jaws gets his comeuppance.

5/5 stars,  it may be dated, but it is an extremely good movie with gruesome bits added. Have your pillow at the ready. Also, you here the famous Jaws song on numerous occasions.

I recommend it for people over the age of 10 unless gruesome things don't scare them and they promise to go back in the sea again. 

Mias Musings: Life of Pi

Today I went to the cinema to watch Life of Pi. I didn't know anything about it apart from that there was a tiger and a man on a boat.
Frankie has been blabbing on all morning about it. 'Hey Mia!' She was saying. ' We're going to watch the Life of a Pie!! ' Haha ,very funny. Her story goes on about a Pie getting made then sold at Tescos and finally getting eaten.
Pi Patel's story is quite different. It starts off with Pi's name. He is named after a French swimming pool. Piscene Molitor.
His dad owns a zoo. He has multiple religions and a rude nickname. They also don't have that much money.
Which is why they have to take the animals aboard to Canada to sell them and live there.
When the boat sinks in the Marianas trench and Pi gets stranded on a life boat with a zebra with a broken leg, Orange Juice the Orang-Utang, a hyeana and a Tiger called Richard Parker a whole different story begins.
I will give you a couple of pointers; Floating Islands, Gods fury and an enormous whale.

Very good movie, amazing animations. 5/5 any day.
Beware. Animals will be eaten.

So Sorry

We are sorry for are delay of posts we have been on holiday!!!
Thankyou Frankie

Frankies foughts on: Free Willy 4

Free Willy 4 is a really good movie although the little girl's voice is really anoying. It's about a whale that gets detatched from his pod and washed in to a big pool were a penguin lives. Just before that happened a little girl is forced to go to south Africa after dad had an accident and she has no one to turn to except her grandpa. It's very good although one minute they have a broken car the  next it's fixed.
Hope you enjoy Frankie

Frankies forghts on:Lord of the rings

Lord of the rings is an over 9 hour long movie all thoe it is split in to three discs on the last one it went on a bit long it just went on and on and on and there was about 20 diffrent possible endings.

And now there is one on the hobbit that i am hoping will be a bit better and shorter.

Mia's musings: Accelerated Reading

Well, I completely condradict Frankie when it comes to Accelerated reader.
I think it is absouletly rubbish.
It wouldn't let me have fun with books and was constantly moaning that I wasn't reading enough. I was, just  not that much on the books registered in that drivel. I completely DO NOT reccomend it. ( Angry Face) Meh. It gives you a score out of ten from questions on the book, which are normally completely irrelevant to the plot of the story. And they are easier than easy. I mean, one book I read was 'My mum's from Planet Pluto!'. The question was: What Planet does Michael ( I think) refer to as his mum coming from?
Answer: Pluto.
What a suprise! ( sarcastic voice )
It got in the way of my school life and teachers were constantly nagging about it. Also, there was only one computer you could do it on, and twenty children trying to get on it. Not exactly fun. Children running around the classrooms like headless chickens wondering why there not on it yet. Oh. Only because there is another 23 kids lining up next to it.

Grrrrrr.

P.S I am debating whether to get a raffle ticket for the Guiness Book of records 2013. They are twenty pence from my school. Post with what you think

Frankie's foughts on Accelerated Reader

At my school we have a system called Accelerated Reader. On it you have to do tests on books you have read. Recently I did a test on The Wreck of the Zanzibar by Michael Morpurgo and got 10/10.

After each test it gives you a report and tells you how many points you got over all the school year, how many words you have read overall, quizzes taken and quizzes passed.

I think it is a very good system because it makes sure you have read the book and understood it.

Thank-you for co-operation,

P.S I love being posh :)

Mia's musings: Skyfall

Well hi! Looks like it's me again! (groan)
I bet you're all chuffed I decided to turn up again.
Well, I remembered earlier that I had nowhere near finished my research into Skyfall. I decided that I was going to write a bit of research, so to call it, on 007's new adventure.
Well I think lets start with the basics. Bond, as we all know, is mums heartthrob, Daniel Craig. M is played by Dame ( I think) Judi Dench. Those are the only characters I actually know. I am learning too (I hope you are, because this takes an awful lot of effort on my part). It was released in 2012. ( obviously) and it is the twenty third Bond movie. I must say the songs quite catchy. I've learnt the words because I've heard it about 60 times on the radio.
IMDb has rated it 8.2 out of 10.
How much would you rate it?
This is how IMDb has described it: Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost. 

I have no idea who M is. Mum says she is head of MI6.

Frankie's foughts : Extremely LOUD & incredibly CLOSE

Extremely loud and incredibly close, is a movie featuring a 11 year old boy, Oskar (Thomas horn) , who's dad died in the Twin towers. He found a key a year after in his dads wardrobe hidden in a blue vase and is on a mission to find which lock it opens.

I would recomend it from ages 9 and above as it is very sad.(Though still very good.)
And would rate it 9/10.

Frankie

Mia's musings: Skyfall

http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt1074638/
Skyfall is the new James Bond 007 movie. It's supposed to be brilliant, mum and dad went to see it yesterday evening and I got stuck at home being babysitted. Lets not say I was the happiest girl on Planet earth. I don't actually know much about it, but hopefully at the end of all my posts you will know more.
All I know pretty much is that annoying song that gets on all our nerves. Sskkkkyyyfaaaaaalllll tiiiiiilllll wwweee cruuuuuuuuuummmbllleee

Mia :)

Hope to write more soon.

Frankies Foughts: Kung Fu Panda the novel

Rating out of 10: 8

Kung Fu Panda: The novel

This week I read Kung Fu Panda: The novel. It is full of highly fascinating things as Po becomes the dragon warrior. He faces tough challenges, from being a noodle chef to becoming the protector of his valley. Po is faced with the dangerous warrior Tai Lung and most defeat him in an epic showdown.
I would highly recommend this book, but for ages 6-10 as I guess it's quite childish.
