My Review of "Sonic The Hedgehog"
Sonic The Hedgehog had a pretty notorious trailer that came out a while back. I have to admit after seeing that trailer I was a bit concerned with the movie. They had since changed the look of Sonic and when it was released I still didn't see it. Some people have told me that it isn't that bad so I thought why not check it out.

Movie Review: 'The Tobacconist'
The Tobacconist is yet another in a long line of dreary dramas about pre-World War 2 Europe. Ostensibly a coming of age story, The Tobacconist takes us to Austria circa 1938, just before the arrival of the Germans and the coming of age of a strange young man named Franz Huchel (Simon Morze). Franz has an affinity for being underwater. Repeatedly, Franz’s mother finds him hiding underwater holding his breath, be it in a lake or in a barrel holding a dead animal. Why? Who the hell knows.

My Review of "Before Sunrise"
Before Sunrise is one of those classics that a lot of critics talk about but I never paid any attention to. It came out back in 1995 and at the time I wasn't mature enough to watch through it. Now that I'm way older I have the patience and maturity to appreciate the nuances of this movie.

The Swan Princess Review
I want to start off by saying: I love this movie. It’s got everything you want in an animated film: songs, talking animals, evil sorcerers, evil sorcerers henchwoman, handsome princes, idiot sidekicks, beautiful AND smart princesses, weird ungodly monsters, and weird unnecessary dance numbers that must’ve driven the animation crew nuts.

Quest For Camelot Review
As far as animated films go, it isn't bad. While I am a Disney fan, animated films from other production companies must get props for being so drastically different. From Quest for Camelot to Secret of NIMH, there are so many once you start looking for them.

Review of ‘Prelude for Lost Souls’ (Prelude for Lost Souls #1)
Synopsis For readers of Nova Ren Suma, Maggie Steifvater, and Maureen Johnson comes a spellbinding tale about choosing your own path, the families we create for ourselves, and facing the ghosts of your past. In the town of St. Hilaire, most make their living by talking to the dead. In the summer, the town gates open to tourists seeking answers while all activity is controlled by The Guild, a sinister ruling body that sees everything. Dec Hampton has lived there his entire life, but ever since his parents died, he's been done with it. He knows he has to leave before anyone has a chance to stop him. His best friend Russ won't be surprised when Dec leaves--but he will be heartbroken. Russ is a good medium, maybe even a great one. He's made sacrifices for his gift and will do whatever he can to gain entry to The Guild, even embracing dark forces and contacting the most elusive ghost in town. But when the train of Annie Krylova, the piano prodigy whose music has been Dec's main source of solace, breaks down outside of town, it sets off an unexpected chain of events. And in St. Hilaire, there are no such things as coincidences.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz
It’s been a very long time since I first read this book and well, I first discovered by via someone who was drawing pictures of the characters online. I was about seventeen at this point, maybe pushing eighteen when I found these cartoons online of these characters. When I first found and read the book at first, I was fairly unimpressed but as I got into it, the book got more and more intense. It became more and more emotional, by the end I was crying. It was one of the most beautiful books I’d ever read and it was a YA Novel. It completely changed my mind about YA. It made me believe that YA Novels could be as emotionally sophisticated as classic novels and that they could be honestly some of the greatest books you’ve ever read.

My Review of "The F**k It List"
The F**k It List is definitely a movie geared toward young adults. It makes me wonder how far the youth actually absorb these types of messages today since we see it all the time. I understand that it's a great message to youth but I feel that it's a somewhat one sided opinion on how people should conduct themselves in daily life.
