Defiant Review:
It's officially. There's a sixth book for the Chronicles of Nick!!. I can't wait and this will help bring the Dark Hunter series and Chronicles of Nick together. Unfortunately, we have to wait a whole year for this book, but it is going to be worth the wait. Getting a major heart attack over this!!! No cover yet! Even though it's not out yet, it's gonna be awesome!

A Killer First Date (Drake Chronicles #3.5)

A Killer First Date Summary:
Nicholas and Lucy have known each other for most of their lives, but now that they've finally admitted their feelings for each other, Nicholas wants to take her on their official first date-away from all the life-and-death drama that has surrounded them lately. Is it too much to ask for just a fun double date at the local carnival with his older brother, Quinn, and Quinn's new girlfriend, Hunter?

A Killer First Date Review:
A e-novella in the Drake Chronicles, it takes place right after Out for Blood. The First official date for Lucy and Nicholas, Quinn and Hunter, everything is supposed is to be peaceful going to a simple carnival. Unfortunately for them vampires will never leave them. A small action packed, romance filled short story. Fit into the Drake Chronicles. It was a nice side trip away from the doom and gloom of the series as we got to just enjoy a few humor-filled scenes. Wonderful as always!

Fast & Furious 6

Going into this movie, not having watch the previous ones in the serious. I was a little confused with how the movie begin. This lead me to not enjoy the movie as much since I wasn't sure who was who and what was supposed to have happened before this. Also, the movie dragged a bit in the beginning. Luckily, by the second half, the action had ramped up tenfold and I could enjoy a classic action movie. The car racing, explosions and fights were used to perfection and I hope that the last movie is the same with it's action sequences. While the action good, everything else lagged behind. I give this movie a 3 stars. Hopefully the last movie will be a lot better.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the first installment of the trilogy for the Hobbit. The original Hobbit is only a 300 page book, butt because the movie is also adding the book the Silmarilion, the movie is now a trilogy. The Hobbit starts of at a slow pace with a lot of story telling and you see the flash back into the Fellowship of the Ring. After the first half an hour, the movie really picks up and loyalties are tested. There were many differences from the movie to the book. They changed the appearances of some of the dwarves and omitted some stuff and changed up the rest. Even though all this happened, I really loved this movie. I usually don't like when a movie is different from the book, but this was just epic and awesome that I couldn't care less. My favourite character was Kili and I liked how he reminded me so much of Legolas who was my favourite from the Lord of the Rings. I didn't even feel the three hours go by and hoped the movie would have been longer. The scenes were absolutely breathtaking and I couldn't believe that some of that stuff was fake. The graphics in this series was a lot better than in the Lord of the Rings. When I read the Hobbit, it wasn't that interesting, but when I watched the movies I fell in love with it. I give this movie a 5 star review.

Frozen

Frozen is the latest installment in the Disney princesses line up for films. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie. Even though the movie is meant for young people, anyone can watch and enjoy this movie. I loved each and every character, and like the humour that they brought to the table. Olaf was my most favourite character because not only was he so clueless it was funny, he was a talking snowman. I have watched every Disney princess movie and was hoping this wouldn't be a disappointing and I was glad I wasn't. I enjoyed the songs in the movie, because it was still the same as a classic Disney film and was happy that it hadn't changed. This wasn't a classic princess movie for a reason, which I can't say because of spoilers. The ending was good and a well deserved ending. There won't be any need for a sequel, but I would have liked something to happen for Elsa. It was refreshing to wash something so innocent after watching movies like the Grudge and Fast and Furious 6. I can't wait for the nest movie to come out. I give this movie a 5 star review.

Catching Fire Movie

This is also pretty late and I've been too busy to post anything. I watched Catching Fire the day after it came out, and it was really worth it. Although stuff was omitted from the book, they still kept the important parts and the trailer didn't spoil anything ahead of time. The director and writers for this did a much better job with this movie. The acting was great in this and I was happy to see Sam Clafin because he was in Pirates of the Caribbean. The did change up a lot of stuff but it added to the interest of the movie. I was disappointed at the deaths because they didn't meet my standards, especially Mag's death. It was too quick and if they had gone a little longer, all four of them could have made it past the borders. Also, Finnick's mourning time was not as emotional as I was hoping for. The only death that was done properly for me was Cinna's The animals like the jabberjays and baboons were amazing and much better than the animals in the first movie. The clock theme was all done very well and I was impressed at what they had done. Catching Fire, in my opinion, is 4 stars, only because I didn't like how Mag's death turned. other than that it was great.

Hunger Games Movie

This is really late compared to when the movie already came out. I had already read the book and that probably was a mistake. I am almost always disappointed when I read a book and watch the movie. The Hunger Games wasn't an exception. It lacked a lot of the suspense and horror that was in the book. Also, a the actual hunger games was supposed to last weeks, but in the movie it only lasted a couple days at most. They cut out many major parts that I thought were important. The dogs were supposed to have the eyes of the dead tributes and were supposed to be more then 2 dogs. Also, Cato's torture was supposed to last about four days by itself. Rue's death was not as sad as I wanted and was waiting for something better. The biggest thing for me was that Peeta's leg didn't come off when the dog had bit him. This just stood out for me and I don't understand why, but I was waiting for something that was actually really good. Other than that, the action was there, and I was happy that the cave scene was so short. I really did like all the actors and the acting, especially Jennifer Lawrence. She's always a good actor. The arena was really well done and if I hadn't read the book first I would have loved the movie. In all I would give the movie a 3 stars.

World War Z

I watched World War Z awhile back an decided I would post a review. The zombie apocalypse is a very worn out topic for me, but I find it interesting how each story with a zombie apocalypse changes up the story and the capabilities of the zombies. World War Z made the zombies so creepy because of the sheer number of zombies that the world faces. Also, a couple of close ups of people getting eaten and the faces of the zombies you do feel a little bit of horror. This movie isn't that scary and isn't the gory, for me anyway. I liked seeing Brad Pitt on the screen again. He is still, to me , a good actor and I liked that he hasn't changed except for his face. He looks a lot older but he is still good in action movies. I liked the plot and absolutely loved the ending. It didn't end with a problem solved yet it ended with hope, and I felt that it made the movie not as cheesy. Give it a try if you're a zombie fan or sick of same old zombie movies, and if you're a Brad Pitt fan. Overall 4 stars.
