More books!

I just got The Return of Sherlock Holmes and The Serpents Shadow from the library!!!!! I have been waiting to read Serpents Shadow FOREVER!!! Now I can find out what will happen to Walt!!!! :) Recently people have been talking about Sherlock Holmes (the book) and that made me want to read it, so I am! :) yay for books!

Thor

 

Thor. I had high expectations for this movie and I'm afraid that they weren't met. Chris Hemsworth did a good job and so did Natalie Portman. The movie was okay, but it didn't meet my Marvel movie standards as stated in my previous post. There were approximately two and-a-half action scenes in the entire movie!!!  (I counted) And only one of them in my opinion was any good. If you come to watch this movie telling yourself that you are going to hate it then you will be pleasantly surprised but I had just seen Captain America and so my standards were higher then usual. Now I will say that not everything about this movie was negative there were a few funny parts throughout the movie such as when Jane (Portman) hits Thor with her car at least twice and when Thor *asks* for more coffee! Also one more positive-The Gate Keeper. He was AWESOME!!!!! He was my favorite character in the whole movie. He was wise, he was powerful, and he was smart. The perfect combo!

All in all a good family movie if you want to have an evening of fun!

Captain America: The First Avenger

Captain America was the perfect definition of what I think a Marvel movie should be-Packed with action, full of love, and no unrealistic victories. I was a little heart-broken at the ending but I am glad that they kept it from being a goody-goody ooh everyone lives and no-one dies ending. This movie was amazing! There was tons of action but nothing to gruesome or disgusting. I was excited when I heard that Hugo Weaving was the villain because though I have never seen him as the bad guy my dad said that he was a great villain in the Matrix movies and from his portrayal of Elrond in Lord of the Rings I could appreciate his acting skills. Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell were AMAZING!!!! I could go on and on about this movie but please just go see it!!!!!

The Three Musketeers

The Three Musketeers is one of the best movies this year!!! The action was brilliant and the Musketeers were... well... At the beginning of the movie they were not nearly as gentlemanly as I  had expected, but that did not take away from how Awesome they were! (By the end end of the movie they were far more gentlemanly anyway!) This movie was packed with action but it also had some sentimental moments! A couple of months ago Sierra @ Yearning to Read did a review on the TM and she loved it! But even if she had said nothing at all about what she thought of the movie there was one picture that she put up that stole my heart and is now one of my favorite pictures EVER!
Here it is! (and if this doesn't' steal your heart -boys not included- I am so sorry for you.... ;))

I am so jealous of you Constance!

Logan Lerman and Matthew MacFadyen along with the rest of the Musketeers were amazing! The reason MacFadyen stood out to me is that I loved his acting in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice as Darcy. He was the only person who I thought was any good in that movie. (sorry Knightly fans) And then Logan Lerman... What can I say? Who can watch this movie and not fall in love with him? Much to the shock of my little sister, Ava, he is right up there with Josh Hutcherson for me! :) (in acting and looks) :)


This movie was Awesome! A really fun movie and very clean, except, as Sierra put it- A few hilariously placed cuss words and chest-showing damsels in distress!

A must watch movie!!!!!

An Update...

So I wanted to update you all on my book list status.
I finished Murder at Midnight but want to finish Midnight Magic so that I can do those reviews right after each other. I read the first few pages of Smugglers Island By:Avi and put it down. It was just not interesting for me. If you have a ten year old sibling they might enjoy it but I just didn't even want to finish it because the reading was so easy and the story wasn't interesting. (that is just my personal opinion and you may disagree.) I am still planning on reading Blue Heron. I noticed that I had made a silly mistake for the book Lord Kirkle's Money is the sequel to another book. I am not going to read that series right now but I may come back to it later. I read The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle and so there will be a review on that soon!

Many more reviews to come!

P.S.If I ever sign my name as FAD I am doing it because those are my initials! :)

See ya,
