Bedrooms

Have you ever really taken the chance to see how your bedroom signifies you? Have you ever really thought how much is represents you? If you can, post a picture of your bedroom and any poster can guess what you like and who you are. I'll post a pic of mine when I get the chance. Im too lazy to go out and take a picture at the moment. :P

Movie Review For Despicable Me.

Hey There!

Recently, I went to see the movie "Despicable Me", with my good friend Kelsey. I have to say, I was stunned by the movie, even though I saw it in 2-D.

Overall, the movie proved to be a heartwarming and fun experience. It really brought out the inner child in me. I realized how much I miss of my childhood, such as the fun experiences with family. Mainly, the films protagonist, Dr. Gru, takes on three young girls by adoption, however, he realizes this tasked is proven harder then he thought it would be, whilst he has to juggle taking on the villainous schemes of his evil empire, and taking care of three young girls. I honestly found this movie quite touching, for throughout the movie, you see his good side start to really shine through his evil exterior. The one thing I disliked about this film is that it lacked a sort of overall scheme. It just seemed that the movie was going on one straight course, as opposed to a twisty ride that tests your emotions. However, I shouldn't expect a roller coaster experience from a children's movie, I still think the movie should have a few exhilarating moments. However, I enjoy how the movie went on a steady pace, and kept me hooked, although there were times when I looked to my friend and began to talk to her, and she did the same. To be completely honest, I think the minions stole the show. They had the right amount of humour, and great comedic timing. I actually found their nonsensical blabber quite funny. Overall, this film proved to be a wonderful visual treat, as well as an adorable, heartwarming story, that will make you think how much it really means to be family.

Overall, I give the film 4.5/5 stars.

Despicable me stars Steve Carell, Will Arnett, Russel Crowe, Kirsten Wiig, and Miranda Cosgrove. It hits theaters July 9th, 2010.

E=MC2

Okay, alright. E=MC2 is some insanely genius equation, right? No one other than Einstein has a worthy mind for such crazy colossal calculations, right?

WRONG!

Here it is in a nutshell: (sort of)
E=MC2 is an equation that proves a relationship between an object's mass (weight) and energy. The more it weighs, the more potential energy it has. For instance, the common occurance of riding a bicycle exemplifies this. As you ride up the hill, you seem to get "heavier" due to the increase in apparent gravity; the gravity pulling down is "increased" by the opposite force of your inclination. In other words, you go up, gravity goes down, and because of this, the force inbetween (gravity times work exerted by the bicyclist) increases. Therefore, your weight seems to increase and, as a result, you have more potential energy.

What? You still don't get it? Well, let me explain for one moment about energy.

There are two basic energies: kinetic and potential. In basic terms, you possess potential energy when you go up the hill, and you exert kinetic energy when you go down it. What does this mean? The difference is that the energy isn't released when you go up or when you are stationary. It is merely stored until the next decline, when it is exerted in the form of kinetic energy. This form of energy is called potential energy because it hasn't "happened" yet.

The weight of an object is directly related to its energy. For example, imagine a 90 pound person riding the bike down the hill. Once the hill levels out, they won't coast for long. However, a 180 pound person would coast for a lot longer on the same decline. This is because the heavier person has more potential energy when riding up, and therefore more kinetic energy when going down.

But what about things with no mass? What about electricity?

That's where the 'C' in the equation comes in. It stands for the speed of light. The equation proves that pure energy, such as light or electricity, travels at the speed of light ALWAYS, no matter what. For instance, if you leaned out of a car window while going at 60 mph and pointed a flashlight forward, the light would travel at the same speed as if you were stationary when you shone it. Both situations are the same. The light travels at the speed of light (duh) both times. ALWAYS. But, perform the same experiment with a baseball, and you will find that the baseball travels faster when thrown from a car then it does when thrown from a balcony.

So there it is. But if you want the real nutshell, you might as well take the title of this post because, ultimately, that says everything I just did in 5 characters.

Review of Harry Potter 6

Some Cedit goes to Wikipedia/Rotten Tomatoes

Someone at Warner Brothers must have used a charm spell on the members of the MPAA in order to secure a PG rating for “Harry Potter and the Half-BloodPrince.” This is one creepy movie, with hexes, poisonings, bloody wizard duels, an undead army, and death. Conversely, it is also the funniest “Potter” movie to date, and the first to explore the raging hormones lurking within our heroes and heroines alike. This combination of teenage nightmares both real (Voldemort) and imaginary (the opposite sex) produces the most grounded “Potter” movie to date, and arguably the best.

The movie begins with a bang, as Lord Voldemort’s henchmen, the Death Eaters, are officially out of hiding and abducting persons of interest, wreaking havoc for wizards and Muggles alike. Once at school, however, Voldemort is the last thing on the mind of Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe). He has to deal with his growing feelings for Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright), the little sister of his best friend Ron (Rupert Grint). He also has to diffuse the simmering tension between Ron and Hermoine Granger (Emma Watson), since Ron is too busy “snogging” new girlfriend Lavender Brown to realize that Hermoine is his for the taking. Harry also can’t help noticing that his longtime rival Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) is acting odder than usual, and Professor Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) is by Draco’s side seemingly at all times. But Professor Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) tries to get Harry to focus on the memories he’s collected of the pre-Dark Side Voldemort, when he was called Tom Riddle, as they contain a clue to Voldemort’s seeming invulnerability. Harry, however, can’t help but wonder if the potions book he just inherited, which previously belonged to “The Half-Blood Prince” and contains one rather wicked spell, could be a clue from Riddle’s school days as well.

With all due respect to Michael Goldenberg, the screenwriter that adapted “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” the return of Steve Kloves to the writer’s chair (he had adapted the first four “Potter” films) was an essential move. Kloves doesn’t just give the actors good lines – he gives them personalities, and the child actors, at long last, get to breathe some life into their roles. Director David Yates seems more comfortable this time around as well, staging a couple of fantastic fight sequences, the best looking Quidditch match to date, and even goes Roland Emmerich on a walkway over the Thames. The kids still need to work on their enunciation, but the dialogue isn’t nearly as unintelligible as it was the last time around.

“Half-Blood Prince” also sports the largest cast of any “Potter” movie to date, but unlike the revolving-door-of-dialogue approach of “Phoenix,” everyone gets their chance to shine here. Even the long-forsaken Minerva McGonagall (Maggie Smith) gets a good laugh at the expense of Harry and Ron, and Rickman wrings every ounce of dark humor out of Snape. The newest English thespian to join the troop is Jim Broadbent, who makes potions teacher Horace Slughorn quite likable despite his tendency to milk his students’ celebrity for all it’s worth (which makes him very interested in Harry, naturally). And then there’s Evanna Lynch, whose daffy Luna Lovegood steals every scene she’s in. Wisely, Kloves does not overuse her, though we can see where he would be tempted to do so. She just oozes funny.

Again, don’t let that PG rating fool you; this is going to freak some young kids out, not to mention the game-changing death scene in the movie’s climax. The rating, after all, does stand for “Parental Guidance suggested,” so I urge parents to do just that. Having said that, anyone mature enough to handle “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” should see it. These wizards and witches have never seemed so human, which is as nice a compliment as one can pay a fantasy movie.

Jans Overall rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars, or 9/10
