Warm Bodies

Hello again! Today I am going to talk about 'Warm Bodies'. I watched this movie in the theatre yesterday and was overjoyed at what I saw! As you may remember, I wrote about the trailer a little while ago. I'm glad to say that my good impressions of the trailer were more than accurate. I adored this movie! No joke! Yes, I have a paralyzing fear of zombies, but this movie has SO LITTLE zombie violence that I was able to forget about the fact that the main character was, in fact, dead. Just in case you don't know what the heck I am talking about, 'Warm Bodies' is a zombie comedy where a young male zombie feels some pity or sadness on a young girl while massacring her friends. He than rescues the girl from certain death. The unlikely pair come to understand each other and many adventures follow. The idea is that the zombie is regaining his human emotions and curing himself, and the cure is capable of spreading. All you need is love right?

Wasn't he adorable when he was little?
These are words I have actually used to describe this movie to other people: Charming, sweet, adorable, exciting, interesting, unique, hilarious, heart-warming(haha, get it?), lovable, uplifting, and last but not least, just a great movie! Something I bet a lot of people didn't pay much attention to was the acting! I thought that Nicholas Hoult did a brilliant job! You may recognize him from 'About a Boy', he was the boy, Marcus. This guy was a great actor when he was 10 so naturally he is even better now! Also, he is Jack in the new 'Jack the Giant Killer', which I have still neglected to see. Anywho, back on topic, I think that this movie reaches out beyond the normal zombie fan base and is capable of pleasing a much wider audience. I laughed out loud several times throughout the film which is quite rare for me! When I walked out of the theatre one of the first thoughts I had was, "Well, I'm definitely going to be seeing that movie again!" I think by now you see that I thoroughly loved my viewing experience. I feel like I should mention John Malkovich, he was awesome. That sums it up. My advice to you is this, go see this movie!

    Good review Cassie. It’s something that you’ll have a good time in the theaters but you wouldn’t rush it too quick to see it. I would definitely recommend it to audiences who want something more in the zombie genre.

    I can't believe Marcus is the zombie! That's amazing. How I love About a Boy. Now even I, a woman terrified of zombie movies, MUST see this flick. You have convinced me. Thanks!

Emergency at the Pony Express

It was a hot dusty day at the Pony Express station. There were no packages coming and the riders were getting antsy. Jesse, the youngest rider at age 16, was re-shoeing his pony, and Kale, Jesse’s older brother, was sitting on the porch watching the Texas dust blow. Jesse stood up, patted the pony and said, “Well Sarah, we are ready to go now.” He then walked to the water barrel and drank a large ladleful, liquid rolling down his shirt. Kale looked at the horizon and saw two dark silhouette’s approaching. “Hey Jesse!” Kale hollered, “I think a job’s a- comin’.” Jesse looked around the corner of the station to see the figures growing by the second. He quickly ate a biscuit, then stood on the porch watching as the men arrived. The men were obviously military, both wearing navy blue uniforms, their horses were stark black with manes and tales cut short. “What can we do for you’s today?” Kale asked. “We need you to deliver a package to Baton Rouge, Louisiana,” one of the men said. ...

KIds Can be Cruel

I can hardly believe the capability of people to just be heartless. Cliques are such a horrible thing, making so many people sad. Don't you hate it when someone says, "Partner up!" and you are the last person chosen? It is so much worse when you are the last person for months. Kids can be soooo cruel. What about when the kids start playing dirty? When they start spreading rumors? What if they are trying to crush a person? It sure stinks to be the person on the "crush" list! As you can tell I am having social problems.

Kumea

Kumea (Koo-may) was a little girl. She was the age of ten and always wore pigtails clasped with a bright blue ribbon. Every morning Kumea woke up early, with the sun, and helped her mother tend to the rice farm in beautiful Japan. This farm year was different than all the others. The rice paddy was a sickly brownish yellow instead of bright lush green, and at night she would hear her parents talking about how the emperor would take their farm away if the weather didn’t change. One morning Kumea was gathering water from the creek when she thought she heard movement in the forest behind her house. Kumea took a little cup, filled it with water, and carried it over to a small yellow flower behind a shed. Slowly she poured water on the flower like she had done for weeks when her mother wasn’t looking. Just then a large cart approached the farmhouse with armored soldiers in it. Kumea peeked around the corner of the shed and watched the soldiers walk to her Father. The soldiers and her f...
