The Hunger Games movie, a review

I give this  movie a 4.99 out of 5 rating. Whats the reason for that deduction of .01 percent you ask?? Its because of a few quotes that were left out or changed. When Thresh killed Clove at the Cornicopia, he asked "you are a friend of Rue", and left. In the movie he said "for now district twelve". He was saying that he would honor Rue now and not hurt Katniss. The actors fit each character perfectly and i was surprised to find out that the actor who played Cinna is not an actor at all! Overall i think the reason that the movie was so well done was because Suzanne Collins herself wrote the script. I cant wait for Catching Fire to come out in about 500 days!!!

Cats Can Be TROUBLE!!!

My cats Yoyo and CJ
CJ is the orange one
Yoyo is the dark one
My cat Yoyo just recovered from a clogged bladder which is common in male domesticated cats. My mom took him to the vet and he stayed there for several days. I am hoping this isn't a long term affect on him and that his "brother" CJ doesn't get this condition also.

The Witch and Wizard series just finished

Here is the link to the last book in the series that i just finished. I use goodreads for all of these:

<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10778413-the-fire" style="float: left; padding-right: 20px"><img alt="The Fire" border="0" src="http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327886911m/10778413.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10778413-the-fire">The Fire</a> by <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/3780.James_Patterson">James Patterson</a><br/>
My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/248681026">4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
This book had a lot of action like the others but i think it went too fast in some places. Patterson did a good job sizing the book up until the end where he could of added maybe 50 more pages to spread it out more. I loved the series though and enjoyed reading it!

Will the hunger games be good or bad???

The hunger games have some faults in the movie that i can tell by just watching the preview.

  1. The girl who plays katniss is not a district 12 type of girl. She is a  natural blond and i think that she is not a good fit for the movie.
  2. Cinna is not black. not to be racist but he is not black.

Leviathan, the book

I just finished the Book Leviathan. Here is the link:

<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6050678-leviathan" style="float: left; padding-right: 20px"><img alt="Leviathan (Leviathan, #1)" border="0" src="http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275694232m/6050678.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6050678-leviathan">Leviathan</a> by <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/13957.Scott_Westerfeld">Scott Westerfeld</a><br/>
My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/179627651">4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
This book has a lot of confusing criteria in it. for example, i am a WW1 nut and i know that most of this in this story is fantasy and never happened. However, this book had a lot of action in it and i loved how the author put the action in. I cant wait to read the next book, Behemoth!!!

NCAA Tournament

I have Kentucky to win the NCAA tournament. They are basicly the picked team to win all over the USA. I picked Georgtown to play them. I hope i picked enough upsets. There are always a lot of upsets and i can never get them right.
