May Movie Mania!

Working in a movie theater, I find myself watching A LOT of movies, and I usually have an opinion for all the one's I've seen. In a normal month, I usually see about five movies.
So far this month, I've already seen seven, and have plans to see at least three more before the month is over. Of these seven, six have been on the big screen in the theater.
I started my month off with "Wrath of the Titans" :A fairly unnecessary sequel to 2010's "Clash of the Titans." While "Wrath" was much better than "Clash," I wasn't overly impressed. The 3D was much better than "Clash," as was the plot, but the acting still seemed wooden.
Next up, was the 3D re-release of "Titanic," but since that movie is 15 years old, it doesn't really count. It hasn't changed. SPOILER! The boat still sinks. ;) After three hours and fifteen minutes of Titanic, I decided to see "The Avengers" the next night. To make a long story short, SEE. THIS. MOVIE. NOOOWWW!!"The Avengers is by far the best movie of the year! (so far) Get to your local theater and see it as soon as possible. You can thank me later.
Knowing full well that no movie could live up to "The Avengers" in sheer awesomeness, I went to "Dark Shadows" two days later with an open mind. I had no idea what to expect. The movie wan't too bad, and it kept me entertained. My only nitpick (and its a minor one) was the tone. One minute it was a comedy, the next a serious romantic drama, the next a horror film. It couldn't quite make up its mind what it wanted to be.
Four days later, I watched "The Three Stooges."To make this story short as well, Only see it if you remember the old Three Stooges shorts. If you liked them, you will like this movie. The movie wasn't terrible, it just seemed to drag in places.
Just last night, I saw "The Raven." The reviews have been fairly negative, but this was once again a case of the critics not quite knowing what they're talking about. I found the film quite enjoyable, in a weird sort of way.
Before this month ends, I will be seeing "The Lucky One", "Men in Black 3", and (even though it doesn't count) "The Avengers" for a second time. Until then, thanks for reading, and leave your comments below.
Until next time :)

Hope

What is hope?
According to the dictionary, hope is defined as: A feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.
Everybody has had some hope or desire in their life, but not everybody has actually achieved that desire, whatever it may be.
I think most of society as a whole has grown spoiled, thinking that we should get whatever we want whenever we want wherever we want from whoever we want. (whew!) Also, most of us probably think that we shouldn't have to work too hard for a certain thing, namely because of the reason above.
The fact of the matter is, we can sit around as much as we want hoping something will happen...and it won't. Trust me. If you want something, you have to work for it.
An example, I've been working on writing a novel for three years now. I hope to be published by my five year class reunion, a goal that, with only ten months to go, seems more and more unlikely.
However, I'm acting just like a lot of other people. I'm currently sitting on my manuscript, hoping it will get published, and I haven't even sent it to an editor, let alone a publisher.
The main reason for the lack of activity, is probably the fear of rejection. However, in just sitting and hoping for it to happen, I'm only wasting time, and am not getting any closer to overcoming that fear of rejection.
I know, I'm kind've ranting on and on here about my own problems, and i doubt thats why you're here. Too make a long story short, Stop hoping for something to happen, make it happen.
Until next time :)

Wow, completely forgot about this...(Why blog?)

So, I was recently on a friends blog that I haven't checked out in forever, and I realized...'Don't I have a blog somewhere? After a little searching I came back across the blog I created in January. I'm sure I lost a lot of you potential followers a long time ago, but hopefully I'll do better from now on.
So this brought me to the train of thought of, why blog at all? I mean most of the people I know wouldn't take the time of their day to talk to me, so would there really be anybody out there who would "want" to read my random ramblings.
The answer is...I don't know. That is completely up to you, people of cyberspace and fellow bloggers. If you like what you read here, leave me a comment...
That is, if I don't forget about it again...

Welcome

I'll be using this blog to give you all a glimpse into my head. I hope that the posts that follow entertain you, teach you, whatever. Anyway, more to follow, and thanks for taking the time to check this place out!
