I rewatched SPEAK about two weeks ago. I had first seen it 2 or 3 years ago, but had missed the first 20 minutes or so.



ANYWAYS, I rewatched it on youtube about 3 times over about a weeks time, then checked the book out from the library and didnt put it down until I was finished. The book and the movie are both so amazing. I finally found the DVD at blockbuster & bought it....and rewatched it another time [heh]. After returning the book to the library, I couldnt stand it, and HAD to buy the book. I reread it and Im currently witholding an overdue audiocassette of the book from the library lol. I listen to it at night, so i fall asleep during it, so everyday I have to rewind the stupid cassette tape and find where I left off...I DEFINATELY DO NOT miss cassette tapes!!!!!! they are a complete pain. Okieeee, so I dont know how I got off subject there...so to sum it up, Speak is one of my favorite movies now.



Melinda: "Dave Petrakis is my new hero"

2. I recollected some of the pictures I lost.

RANDOM:
Last night I had a dream/nightmare that Rob Pattinson killed himself!!!! ahhh..it was terrible.

OKAY.
At midnight Im going to be an obsessed little fan girl at Barnes and Noble picking up a copy of Breaking Dawn.
So Im pretty excited, UH DUH.
Im not attending the release party though, because I dont even know what to expect with that.
Ive never been to a...book party...
none of my friends read.
So Im just going to go in, get my beloved book, and try not to get trampled...
because "Twilighters" have been known to be rabid...
which is why we're not on the endangered species list.


Ive pretty much been able to avoid spoilers, which is shocking!!
But I have some predictions on whats to come in BD...
Bella will whine...alot
and Bella will never become a vampire [much to my dismay..]

Well, Im off to skip around and annoy everyone in my house=D
..ive been driving everyone crazy about this book!!! heh

Im not really in the mood to post, but I havent been posting much lately, so.....here goes....

I saw Hard Candy starring Ellen Page.
can you say PSYCHO?!
I didnt really like this movie. It was kind of entertaining to watch the guy squirm while being "castrated", but other than that, it wasnt for me.




Ive started watching Joan of Arcadia season 2, 
since I forgot to move it down on my queue list on netflix. 
Its pretty good so far.
I love Chris Marquette in this. He will always be Adam to me. 

Whats funny though is, Luke, the total nerd in this show will be playing Mike, the popular guy, in Twilight. heh.


The Eye
This movie was pretty good. Im making an attempt to watch "scary" films.
I usually try to avoid them, but that cuts out such a huge amount of movies that could possibly be great.
Since this didnt look too bad, I started with it. It had a really cool story line and great acting. It wasnt too scary, it just has creepy faces popping up a few times.



I also saw Dont Mess With the Zohan last week.
It was Adam Sandler, so it was, of course, hilarious!!



Wow, thats it? Thats all Ive watched? Man, I have no clue what Ive been doing with my time!! My cousin stayed with me for 2 weeks, but other than that, I have no clue. I HAVE been rewatching movies like crazy though.


MOVIES ILL BE WATCHING
These are the ones at the top of my queue list.
Hugh Dancy <3

Christian Bale <3


Mark Wahlberg <3



As for books, I havent been reading much lately :(
Ive read a little of Parasite Rex, and its pretty interesting.
Im thinking about just rereading The Host and Twilight.

I think that Taylor Lautner will make a really great Jacob in the Twilight movie. Hes adorable. But theyre planning on making New Moon quickly, before any of the actors playing the Cullens age. My question is... Jacob ages about 5 years, gets a foot taller, and turns to pure muscle in a very short amount of time.....so what are they going to do?...put Taylor on steroids?!!! lol. 



THE HOST
I think The Host would make an excellent movie!! I bet they would totally screw it up though!!!
But I was trying to put an actor with each character. Its actually harder than I expected!! No one really perfectly matches.

Melanie Stryder- Megan Fox


Jared- Channing Tatum or Paul Walker


Ian- Ian Somerhalder or Chase Crawford?


Wanda (in her new body)- Taylor Momsen


The Seeker- Bebe Neuwirth [the uptight chick from Cheers]


Uncle Jeb- Donald Sutherland


Jamie Stryder- Taylor Lautner [heh]

twilight behind the scene VIDEOS.

Well, I figured that it was time to make another post about TWILIGHT!!...and Rob. heh
Dont take my lack of posts on the subject as a lack of enthusiasm about the film, Rob and/or Breaking Dawn.

random:
ROB ranked #1

For the past few weeks I've found myself IMpatiently awaiting July 1st...When Popstar magazine comes out with a Twilight Spread. I havent had any interest in popstar mag in about four or five years. It should be refreshing to read about something other than Hannah Montana or the Jonas Brothers....although Im sure theyre going to be featured in it too.

Robert Pattinson's film HOW TO BE was chosen to appear in the Rhode Island International Film Festival which takes place in Providence, Rhode Island from August 5th to August 10th.

In some videos of that Ive watched of Kristen Stewart, she seems sort of ...snobby?..Thats not exactly the word Im looking for, really..but it seems like she doesnt have much of a personality. Idk, maybe shes shy....or shes just so dazzled by Rob, that she doest know what to do with herself. heh. 
..or it could be the FREEZING COLD WEATHER that shes having to stand in while being interviewed.

Also, during the MTV movie awards pre-show, when she and Rob were being interviewed, the girl was asking about an off screen romance. Rob starting joking about asking Kristen to marry him....and she wouldnt even go along with it!! And then when the girl giving the interview turns her head Kristen laughs but then she gives the weirdest look!! I dont even know what the look meant. 
idk, i suppose Im just overanalyzing.

Felicity: Season 3 (5-Disc Series)
I finished Felicity season 3!!!!!! I loved it!!


My dad actually requested that I rent this on Netflix.
So I was completely suprised when I liked it!! hah
Its pretty Hilarious.



Im so excited! I requested Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer weeks ago, and it finally came into the library!!!!!!!!!!! I havent read much of it, but its got some disgustingly awesome pictures of parasites and a William Blake poem(random but, yay).



=D
Oh goodness, The Host...sigh.
I didnt give it enough attention in that short crappy post!
There is no question about it..Im going to be reading this over and over again.
I have to admit, I thought that it had a slow start. I was interested from the beginning, but I wasnt exactly enthralled for the first few chapters..i was mostly confused, because they hadnt explained everything yet!! I love absolutely everyone in this book...except maybe the annoying tracker..she bugged me. Anyways, Ill stop there before I spoil anything!

eek. I even love the cover!!! <3

Ive officially decided to read all of the Harry Potter books, so I read the first one the other night, and half of the second one on friday. Theyre really good!! Before I read the third one I want to read The Host by Stephenie Meyer...which Ive been dying to read. I also read "The Last Days" last week. Its the sequel to PEEPS. Both books were so good, but in different ways because the story lines were so different.


I saw The Last Day starring the amazingly gorgeous and talented Gaspard Ulliel. I really liked it, even though some parts kind of confused me a little.



I also saw SLC Punk, which was awesome. Its funny and smart and so entertaining..i loved it!!


As for the whole "going back and watching every single episode of the X-Files", I HAVE started that!!
And Felicity, season three is so good!!

 Ive decided to buy all of the Harry Potter movies.Right now I only have Chamber of Secrets and Order of the Phoenix.
I never really got into the Harry Potter books. I read the first one in 3rd grade and just never got into it. I love the movies though!!
Ive been thinking about reading the books, but i dont know, well see.

I finished PEEPS..by scott westerfeld
It was a really facinating book.
Along with the story, you learn about parasites, which makes it really interesting....and gross at times!!
The Last Days is the sequel, so Ill be reading it next.
...maybe Ill read Deenie before that, gotta love Judy Blume ;)


I received the X-Files season 1, disk 1 from netflix yesterday. But last night when I took it out of the envelope to put it in, IT WAS CRACKED!!! grrrr. So now I have to wait to get another one in the mail.

Well I finished Eclipse today.
it was, of course, absolutely amazing.
Maybe Ill read The Host to get my Stephenie Meyer fix if I get desperate before August 2nd.
...but until then, Ill have no way to satiate my need for an Edward fix.
But anyways, now that Im finished reading the Twilight series, I have no idea what todo with myself!! Im watching Murderous Intent for the third time...lusting after Tom Sturridge. haha.
(i like the title "Like Minds" better!!)

So recently Ive been on a childish Judy Blume kick.
And Ebay is supporting this kick.

Movies I recently watched:
Dragonheard & Dragonheart: A New Beginning
Even though Dennis Quaid was in the first one, I actually preferred the new beginning one that has Chris Masterson from Malcolm in the Middle!!

Also; I bought Step Up.
YAY!! Channing Tatum!!

As for
TWILIGHT..
[Its just impossible for me to type a blog without mentioning it!!]

I was reading one of Stephenie Meyer's movie update blogs from July, 2007. she was talking about considering Tom Sturridge for the part of Edward. He would have made an excellent Edward!! He is so pretty and perfect...and pale...just like Edward.


But Rob Pattinson will make a great Edward.
Im pretty happy with the cast.

I know Ive already written about it, but Im soooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Movies are never as good as the books, but I REALLY hope that the movie does the books justice!!! 

12.12.08

I really want the movie poster. It looks amazing.






Random Note: I HATE SPOILERS!!!
They seem to be everywhere!!
Ive only read the first book, and I like being in suspense, so It totally sucks when I accidently read about what happens in the other books!!!
grr.

I cant wait to get New Moon in the mail.
eek!! im so excited!!
I was so engrossed in the first book that I finished it in one day.

OKAY- So I havent actually read the Twilight Series yet =] forgive me!! 
But I do plan to after seeing the trailer for the movie Twilight!! It looks absolutely amazing!! So afterwards I googled the Twilight book series to get the author and more information. After reading the synopsis, I want to run to the book store and just dive into it all night!!..Unfortunately, its midnight and Im currently in a place called Rockdale [2 hours from home], and this towns only source of reading material is a pitifully small "super" walmart and a library the size of my little cousins ant farm!! 
So I suppose Ill have to practice restraint and patience =[
...Im way to immature to practice either, so I may have a bit of trouble.



ALSO; [random note] I watched Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium...umm, I wasnt pleased. I love Natalie Portman and Jason Bateman though =]
