Eclipse ♀

by Jessica on Dec.28, 2009, under Book Reviews

Book Title: Eclipse
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Category: Suspense / Thriller / Love Story
Pages:
Summary: The book starts with several tellings about murders going on in Seattle. Bella starts to visit Jacob, with or without Edwards approval. While she is spending time with Jacob she starts to have feelings for him without realizing it yet. It is soon realized that the murders in Seattle are an army of newborn vampires created for revenge. The vampires, the werewolves, the army of newborns and the Volturi all make epic appearances before the end of this novel.
Opinion: This third book of the Twilight Saga. This one is more of a love triangle. It’s easy to understand what Bella is going through. Being torn between two people you love and trust with your life. There’s also alot of fighting in this book. I can’t wait to see what those fight scenes look like in the next movie.

I gave it 5 out of 5 Stars.

New Moon ♀

by Jessica on Dec.04, 2009, under Movie Reviews

Movie: New Moon
Director: Chris Weitz

First, let me suggest that you check out my review on New Moon: The Book. I, myself, am a huge Twilight fan. So, of course I’m going to back this movie up. I read the book before I saw the movie. So, I already knew the outcome. But, that didn’t affect the movie at all. I love each character and can find myself in each one. Its easy to relate if you’ve ever been in love. The Twilight series is a love story all together and this particular book is about the heartache that sometimes comes along with love. Vampires, Werewolves, nightmares… Its a must see. Therefore…

I gave the movie 10 out of 10 Stars.

Funny People ♀

by Jessica on Nov.30, 2009, under Movie Reviews

Movie: Funny People
Director: Judd Apatow
Starring: Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Eric Bana, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, Aubrey Plaza

Summary: Funny People begins when an aging comedian (played by Adam Sandler) finds out that he has a life ending disease. After suffering a bout of depression he decides to go back to his roots and start doing stand-up again. It is here where he mets an aspiring comedian (played by Seth Rogen) and hires him as his assistant. Sandler starts on new medicine that saves his life but greatly affects his new kindled affair with a former girlfriend.

Review: So, if your an Adam Sandler fan, and you’re expecting one of his normally hilarious films, you might be in for a bit of a surprise. This is a story of life. The movie is filled with famous and not so famous comedians. While you will find plenty of humor, there is also love, death, heartbreak, disease, and can be a bit dark at moments. All in all, I did enjoy this movie. Every prediction I made while watching it was wrong. But that’s a good thing.

I gave the movie 8 out of 10 Stars.

Bride Wars

by Jessica on Nov.29, 2009, under Movie Reviews

Movie: Bride Wars
Director: Gary Winick
Starring: Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway, Candice Bergen, Chris Pratt, Bryan Greenberg, Steve Howey, Kristen Johnston

Summary: Bride Wars begins with two small girls falling in love with getting married. When the two girls grow up and are proposed to around the same time, things get very complicated. They go from being best of friends planning a wedding to mortal enemies. They both set out and try and sabotage the others wedding. In the end someone ends up with their husband and the other ends up with nothing. You will have to watch to find out who.

Review: This might be a ‘chick flick’ but its a great story of friendship and love. I have seen it several times and I find myself getting emotional time and time again, and I DID laugh out loud. Some guys are just pessimistic about girl movies.

I gave the movie 7 out of 10 Stars.
