making a list. checking it twice.

So Christmas just came and went and so the new year is upon us. In less than a week, I'm going to have to get used to writing 2011 at the back of the dates instead of 2010.

For the last few days left of good ol' 2010, I'm going to make a list of things that I enjoyed/hated about the year. Lists about what I love and all that good stuff :D

Today's list will be the Top 10 movies you HAD to have seen this year, as well as the Top 5 of movies I cannot believe people (myself included) actually paid to go and see. (FYI: this is just my opinion. You can disagree or whatever if you want to.)

Top 10 (no particular order BTW....)

1. Inception (Sheer genius. The fact that throughout the entire movie, my head was spinning trying to figure out what the hell was happening and yet still managed to keep up with the storyline was unbelievable. Gotta love a movie that made you think. If only school was this interesting......)

2. TRON:Legacy (First off, the music in this movie was crazy. LOVED IT! Daft Punk are uber cool. The graphics in this movie was awesome. It sort of made the movie almost. Then again. the original was made back in 1982 so the graphics kinda had to be way better. That said, the movie was really enjoyable to watch.)

3. The Social Network (Who would have thought that the creator of Facebook had to go through all that shit and lost all his friends for creating a website that now links a hell of a lot of people together. The way this movie was shot and the way they skip from the past to the present was fantastic. The whole movie kept my attention and when it was over, I just wanted to watch it all over again. Love movies like that. Don't you?)

4. Toy Story 3 (What can I say? I grew up watching it and until now, it remains one of my favorite movie series ever. Having looked forward to watching it ever since I found out it was going to be released, it sure didn't disappoint. As sad as I was to see it end and to watch all the toys find their own closure, I'm glad I'm not too old to appreciate it. Pixar movies are the best.)

5. Shutter Island (Just like Inception, this is another movie that made you think and had a complicated storyline that didn't confuse you until you just couldn't enjoy the movie but made it a brilliant film to watch. Movies like these are what makes me such a movie addict.)

6. Nightmare on Elm Street (Sometimes horror movies freak me out. Sometimes its just way too scary for me and I have to close my eyes and block out a majority of the movie but not this one. I've always been a fan of Freddy and his twisted killing ways. The fact that he terrorizes children is creepy and extremely disturbing but it makes one hell of a great film. Needless to say, I enjoyed watching this movie very much.)

7. Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 (I gotta put this on the list. I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan and the way that this movie was more about Harry, Ron and Hermoine was interesting. I know some people found the movie very slow and lacked action but hey, its only part 1. It was kinda supposed to be that way. Can't wait for Part 2!)

8. My Soul To Take (Another slasher/horror flick. It had an interesting twist though. The whole time throughout the movie, I was trying to guess who the killer was and just when I was sure it had to be this one kid, the movie throws a curve ball and its revealed that his best friend was the killer all along. The fact that the kid who I thought was the killer was also schizophrenic was kind of a giveaway for me but apparently not. Love movies that aren't so predictable.)

9. The Town (Ben Affleck was born to direct. The last movie I saw which he also directed was Gone Baby Gone and that was one of the best films I've seen in my life. This is no different. The intricate story-lines and the way everything just came together was just great. Watch it people!)

10. Takers (Classic movie about a group of dudes who steal for a living and never get caught. Then someone betrays them and they end up trying to cover their own tracks and finally almost get caught but not quite. For some reason, these type of movies interest me and I always enjoy watching them. Only downside of the film, they killed Hayden Christensen's character. WTF!)

Honorable mentions: Tangled, Iron Man 2, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Red, Piranha 3D, The Crazies, The Book of Eli

Top 5 (aka the shit list......)

1. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (I hate the Twilight series. I was a big fan of the 1st book though. Alas, as soon as the movies came out, I nearly puked on myself. Now I spend a teeny tiny portion of my time thinking about what was I smoking when I was ever a fan of this shit. Only reason I actually watched this movie (and no I never paid to watch this monstrosity) was Xavier Samuel. Damn is that boy fine or what!)

2. Let Me In (Now I know this list is becoming sort of vampire themed but don't get me wrong, I happen to love vampire themed shows and all that, just not this one. Before I watched the movie, I read a review that said it was definitely worth watching and that it was similar to the original so it wasn't gonna be tacky and boring but boy was I completely mislead by that! The entire movie was so unbearably dull and the girl who was a vampire was just so plain and confused the whole time. I just completely didn't get the movie. AT. ALL.)

3. Tooth Fairy (Seriously, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson should stop making these stupid movies and stick to starring it those cool looking action packed movies. I mean how the hell do you expect people to take you seriously when you're starring in a movie in which you're a tooth fairy and you wear a freaking tutu?!)

4. The Last Song (Usually I'm a fan of movies which are based on books and all that jazz. However, this time is completely bombed. Before watching the movie, I obviously read the book so that I knew what the whole thing was about and so I kinda would know what to expect. Turns out I loved the book and loathed the movie. Miley Cyrus cannot act. She may be the queen of the whole 'double identity' thing but clearly she wasn't right for the part in this particular movie. I actually believe that if they had gotten someone better to play her part, the movie might have turned out a whole lot better.)

5. Get Him to the Greek (I have yet to find out the point of this movie. Almost 2 hours of my life was just gone, wasted from watching this crap.)

There you have it folks. Tomorrow will be another list! (If I don't forget that is. I suck at keeping blogs. I have too many.)

changes

*blows dust off blog*
apparently some people still visit this place

if you still choose to stalk me,
got a new blog add right HERE,

Girls and Apples

Girls are like
apples on trees.
The best
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren't as good, but easy.

So the apples

at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who's brave enough
to climb
all the way
to the top
of the tree.

=)

WARNING: RANT AHEAD!!

So classes only started back up yesterday and already I'm thinking of just giving up. Why you may ask? Well let me tell ya all about it.

Since I've already taken all my first year core subjects, all I had to do this semester was to take 2 free electives to fulfill my compulsory number of first year electives. Plus this is a short semester so its only 7 weeks. No big deal right. So when the list of available electives came out, I decided to take Intro to Mass Comm and Sociology. Yay! I was all excited and stuff plus all my classes would have ended before 4 everyday. But then as usual, some shit had to happen and ruin my awesome plan. I went to Sociology class and the lecturer came in and told all of us that taking this subject would be like getting food poisoning for 7 weeks. Gee thanks for the vote of confidence dude! Anyway so she spent one hour yapping about how we're gonna do work that was meant to be done in 14 weeks in only 7. And while she was going on and on about it, I freaked out. I mean this might sound pompous or self boasting or whatever, but I'm pretty smart. So all the workload didn't seem so impossible to handle to me. But then, I thought about it and really, I don't want to take a subject and not do as well as I could because I just didn't have enough time to study or whatnot. So I'm thinking about dropping it. See there goes my brilliant plan.

But here is the other downside. If I drop Sociology, I still need to take another subject in order to complete my free electives thing. So the only option is to take Intro to Design. Now there is nothing wrong with that subject, I hear its pretty laid back and easy and there is no finals for the class but the part that I hate is that the timing of the class. Its 3 times a week and all 3 times are from 4-6. 4-6!!!! Like last semester. Which I hated! Now not only do I have to stay in college until 6 but I also can't pick my little brother up from school for 3 days and that just sucks. Because then he has to suffer with all the waiting and its not even his fault! Moreover, my other class is always in the early morning like at 8-10 so I would have a 6 hour gap between my classes. What the fuck am I supposed to do for 6 bloody hours for 3 straight days???!!! This whole thing is so messed up.

Honestly, this semester is turning out to be a complete nightmare. Its only the second day of class and already I'm so damn exhausted and I just want to go sit in a corner and cry my eyes out. Its just so damn frustrating. UGH!

Ok I'm done now. =)

just my luck

Right so,
I've been to stay at my aunt's house in Milton Keynes twice now,
Both times during Chrissy break,
Both times nothing really exciting happens there,
Unless you count the League 1 games that cost a whole bloody lot to watch!

Anyway,
I've recently discovered that a lot of awesome things happen there,
Like how Linkin Park played a huge concert there and they filmed their Live DVD from that show,
But 30 minutes ago,
I found out that Dougie and Harry from Mcfly are gonna be at HMV in Milton Keynes and I'm not there!
ARGH! I bloody love Mcfly and when I'm halfway around the world they decide to come to MK!
Why????!!!!

So right now I'm kinda sad and I wish that I can go back to MK again,
But my aunt is moving back here in August so no more trips to UK for me until like I finish studying,
BOOOO!
