A brilliant movie that takes your breath away!
14 August 2003
When Fellowship of the Ring first came out, i saw the trailer and heard all about it. my whole family wanted to see it, but at that point i was in my moody teenage point, and didnt care about anything. My parents rented it one night, so i decided to watch it. i was doing dishes when they started the movie, and i began to pout when i walked in 5 minutes after it had started, hoping they would feel terribly sorry and rewind it. When nobody touched the remote control, i stormed out of the room blaming them for not waiting for me.

Just a few months ago, my Best Friend told me about the movie and how much she loved it, as did many other friends of mine. when my friend spent the night one night (i will call her Eowyn, for her own privacy, and since she really likes eowyn :-D), we rented Fellowship of the Ring and watched it together, it was a great experience, and i felt like i had been a snob when my parents rented it. i was only thinking about myself. By this time, The Two Towers was out of the theatres. luckily, there is a $2 theatre near my house that shows movies that are out of theatres, but not yet on video and DVD. Eowyn and i brought another friend and saw it. i was expecting my butt to get sore, but i knew it was worth it. i saw the movie, and now i can't wait until it comes out on video and DVD.

I have seriously become a Lord of the Rings fanatic. i bought an official replica of the one ring, and will soon be purchasing a replica of Arwen's Evenstar. I cant wait until Return of the King comes out. call me crazy and a nerd, and you will be telling the truth. my friends and i plan to go to the Return of the King line party, where you stay up until midnight in a line at the movie theatre and see the midnight showing of Return of the King. we plan to not only go to that, but dress up as characters from the trilogy, and we are taking the whole day off, which happens to be the last day of school before winter break, and go see it over and over again! i will be saving my money up for this exciting event!

Also, my friends and i have Nerdy LotR nicknames. i am called Evenstar or Undòmiel, my friend "eowyn" is called Anduril, Aragorns mighty and loyal sword, one of my friends is ringwraith number 9, another is a hobbit and ringwraith number 10 (a substitute, since many of their friends took 1-8) and we keep thinking of new ways to be Lord of the Rings fanatics.

All of this is worth it! these movies are Brilliant! it was said, after the animated series "The Hobbit" failed in the 70's, that it is virtually impossible to turn the Lord of the Rings series into a movie. well, whoever said that, lookie here! we have a brilliant, famous trilogy, and anyone in there right mind has seen it!

if you havent read the trilogy, or have stopped and never picked it back up and read, i advise you to try again. Perhaps you are stuck in the hobbit? that is not required before the trilogy! also, the beginning of Fellowship fo the Ring is sort of slow, but once you get past the counsel of Elrond, it is smooth sailing all the way, through every book!

Clifford (1994)
If you don't like this movie....
7 August 2003
Clifford is a hilarious movie that is suitable for all audiences. i was 5 years old when it came out, so i didn't actually see clifford until i was about 9 years old.

since then i have watched it many times, and each time i get a kick out of this classic comedy. whoever thought of making Martin Short play himself as an older man and a child was truly a genious.

Just last night i went to a youth night at my church, Desert Springs Bible Church. we had a movie madness night, and everyone set up chairs, blankets, and pillows to watch a "mystery" movie. When the time came to present the movie, everyone was extremely excited. finally my youth pastor announced that the movie was "Clifford". In the beginning, everyone was bummed because they though it was "clifford the big red dog", but as soon as they realized it was CLIFFORD, we were all really excited.

all throughout the movie, i heard extreme laughter coming from the other youth, and me! this movie is exceptional, and if you don't like it, you need to work on getting a better sense of humor.

Yeah Buddy.
