MY LOCKER ! (can you tell I'm bored ?)

Well about 50 seconds ago I wrote "Hey maybe I should type about my fantabulous top locker ?" And so I am.
First off I might start with the history of me and lockers. Get comfy in your seats people, grab a bowl of chips this might take a while.
All righty. Damn I am tired - sorry to the non existent mob who reads my blog - I ca'nbe bothered finishing this

Film Class - and a headcold ! (my day of bad luck concerning harming me)

Well hi,
The nuns are all: WHAT THE ! - Nun on the edge wishes she had hair like that
I 'm in film class. And I 've just printed off and handed in my Run Lola Run Review. It was a German movie, with dubbed english voices. I have to say I'd rather subtitles - those english voices were really annoying - as in they were British. It was a strange sort of film I gotta say, I mean - look at the main character: ----------------------------->

Anyway I was bored so: heres my review  (a very technical one indeed) :

Run Lola Run is a suspenseful action film about a girl called Lola (Franka Potente) , who, in order to save her boyfriend Manni, must run, find and bring to him - 100,000 DM.  The film follows Lola as she races to find the money, and, depicts 3 different outcomes showing what COULD happen. Depending on which path Lola truly takes.Whilst watching the film the viewer is able to see more layers of the story unfold as well as enjoying the thrilling race Lola undertakes in her mission to find the money.
The film Run Lola Run includes many interesting and effective camera techniques, introduced by director Tom Tyker. The film is certainly different to watch visually - as the camera work is a lot more creative than that of what we see on television and in typical action movies. The fast pace of the film holds the viewers interest and there are no useless or somewhat boring scenes. The film used many other techniques that I hadn’t seen before, including - continuous photo snapshots appearing on screen to display a story, this technique was used very effectively. Being so very different to typical american blockbuster movies(and their techniques) meant that this film caught the viewers attention, therefore making it very successful. 
Run Lola Run raises many questions on the matters of fate and time. The directors show us throughout the film, that every little moment, every action, and every second that ticks by counts. They show us that, through one action, a whole chain reaction of effects can occur. You can see that the film, was based around the producers/directors vision to portray fate, time and consequences. I think the fact that they seem to have based their film around this only improves it even more It is a film with a message, not just a big action film with lots of punch ups and exciting fights/escapades. Yes, Run Lola Run is a film with meaning - which makes it all the more interesting to watch, and it stays fresh in the mind days later. 
At first, I found the film hard to watch as it was so different from the American films that I usually see at the movies. I found the style a little weird, the weird feeling wasn’t helped by the girl Lola’s strange appearance. Gradually I warmed to the film (I feel this would have been easier if I had seen it all in one shot) and I really enjoyed watching the plot. Another thing I enjoyed about the film was the little snapshots that showed the lives of people that Lola ran past in the film. Overall I thought it was a good film but not one of my favorites.


And yeah - thanks for actually being bothered to read all that.


UPDATE: I forgot to mention my head cold - which is being a bugger. I absolutely loathe it. (Ohhhh way to be old fashioned there me) Anyway I have a constantly running nose in a school that seems to have made tissues extinct or something. Then there is also my massive headache that wont go away and also seems to hit the "pain increase" button every time in breathe in cold air through my nose. 


Also today I sat in the same position for a really long time (bent knee) and so it was really painful when I went to flex it. I walked to my locker in pain - also I had to walk up stairs (lots). 


Then at one of the breaks I was getting stuff out of my locker and BAM I drop my diary then BAM AGAIN as I get it up off the floor I jam my back into the corner of an open locker door. (PS This year I have a top locker ! YAY ! it is awesome - I should post about it) '

I am Number 4 - pretty AWESOME MOVIE

Well, just under half an hour ago I was watching "I am Number 4" in the cinemas. Needless to say it was pretty awesome. It was a little scary at the start - Not knowing whats going on and having things jump up at the screen is a pretty terrifying combination. I also thought the freak show scary ride at the fair in the movie deserved a 5 star rating, what a creepy ride (I know I wouldn't be game for it) Yet the two young lovers go for it and when you see them jump onto the creepy cart and head off into the dark, you can't help but think "This is going to end badly" - But guess what "John Smith" is a super awesome Human looking alien dude with super cool powers so to sum that up you could imagine him standing there going "When I punch stuff (with my light powers) I get stuff done" I don't want to give anything away but here is a summary (yes I am lazy - this summary is from google) :

John is an extraordinary teen, masking his true identity and passing as a typical high school student to elude a deadly enemy seeking to destroy him. Three like him have already been killed ... he is Number Four. 


Apparently they can only be killed in consecutive order (well if you were a bunch of murderous aliens, you'd wanna be organized wouldn't you ?) The movie also stars Alex Pettyfer (from storm breaker) and Dianna Agron (from Glee) who are just good to look at anyway. Also Dianna being from Glee is kind of good because - if the scenes get too intense or scary you can just imagine Sue Sylvester marching down the halls in her tracksuit telling them all to get into line. 


Happy Movie watching (but even more so if it is I am Number Four)

For those who don't know/ I think I've decided !

Well, for those of you who don't know, in Australia, we have magpies. I hate Magpies, no I am not just talking about the footy team. I don't particularly like any birds, at all. So today. Bob. The Magpie, just casually struts into the house - I was in my room on facebook and other such thing, when I hear my sister yell "THERES A MAGPIE IN THE HALLWAY ! ITS BOB"

I had no idea which hallway she was talking about so I hesitantly, yet quickly ran to my door and shut it. I was going to be awesomely brave and film this strange encounter. But as I made my way up the hallway, my sister comes along and says "I'm gonna film it"so I hand her my laptop and said "Go ahead"

Looking back, using a laptop to film was a dangerously silly idea - think of what that magpie could have done to it ! But anyway, eventually we got the magpie out (what am I saying WE ? no I don't think I did much, but I babysat the guinea pigs from harm, in a completely secure room.) Here's the video, it features my mum - removing the magpie, my brother - stopping/taunting the cat (tank) from killing the magpie. And my sister filming it. I now apologize - the video took too long to upload and I had to delete it, sorry. This was added after all the writing below (hope that makes sense)

Now in other news. I think I know what I might blog about. I think daily life - not boring stuff that goes on as that would be boring to read. But other things, such as a magpie coming in or me dressing up as a playing card (I'll have to post a pic of the playing card) Hmmmm what else shall I publish ? Maybe some bits and pieces - I have a lot of random videos and imovies. I think I may include some reviews - OH GOD Bob just flew past my window, I could only see his shadow but I knew it was him.

ohhhhh, Do you know - now I have to wait for this video to upload. I should write slower. Hey actually, I have another idea. At school I went through this "revolutionary" program. And I wrote tons about it. Perhaps I should post some of my 5000 words on it ?. By the way I HATED it, it was awful. I definitely preferred traditional learning. But thats all behind me now.
