Upcoming Reviews and Blog Postings

Well I know it's been a while since I have blogged but I have been quite busy with work, selling my car, getting things done around the house for and with mom, signing up for Fall classes and trying to figure out what my next step is in life. Even trying to figure out things with my business and all as well. I may be having time more when I get to part-time in work and full-time in being a student to blog about things as well. It also don't help when my BlackBerry is down but I am quickly working on changing that soon!!!

I just want to say that there are new reviews that are going to be posted here soon. I recently have found new movies to watch. From Paris with Love is the most recent movie that I have watched (just actually finished watching it here) and as soon as I get time in the next few days I will be posting a review on that movie. Another great movie I've seen is Inglorious Bastards starring Brad Pitt!! With having to restart it so many times I've come to find more quotes in the movie that are great that make me laugh just the way the actors/actresses carry there roles. Lastly I cannot forget about the greatest movie that I have watched countless times that I haven't gotten a review done for, Avatar!! That is another great animated/real life movie that makes you wonder, can that happen in life? Just look out for many of those movie reviews.

Music reviews that I got coming up are the lastest two albums from great artist. Eminem just recently came out with a ablum called "Recovery" which includes the latest hit single "Not Afraid". Me recently discovering that hit made me discover the album so I have to still listen to the album and get my input ready for the review!!! The second album in review question would be Usher's latest album "Raymond v Raymond" which includes the hit single "OMG ft. Will.I.am" which has me wondering, will Usher ever lose his touch? Look closely for those reviews coming.

Many of you may have noticed that I am a HUGE Twilight fan, and if you haven't...well there you go you know now. I have been geared up for the newest saga release of Eclipse which is coming to theaters in US at 12:01am Wednesday, June 30, 2010. If I didn't have to work so earlier in the morning and had someone to go with I may be going but I have to find someone to go with!! May be going sometime before my Fall classes start up!! Which means I am going to be blogging about my story of becoming a Twilight Fan and whether I am Team Jacob or Team Edward (if you follow me closely on Twitter you may already know, if not you'll have to wait for the posting!!)

Another blog coming soon is about a question that a friend of mine asked that I will not be revealing until I post the blog!! So if your curious on my thoughts and reviews, please keep coming back for more!! Til next time, Mandi Lynn

*****
This movie is based on the best-selling novel written by Stephenie Meyer. It was directed by Catherine Hardwicke. The actors and actresses that were choosen to play the parts played the characters really well. Catherine did a really good job with pulling this one off. The only thing could use some changing is the graphics. Some scenes were the way I pictured them as I was reading the book and some were just not how I imagined them. Overall it is a pretty good movie and those of you who have read the book will enjoy the movie. Those who have not read the book will be a bit confused as the movie doesn't cover all of the book. I suggest if you haven't read the book read it.

****
Most of the songs in this soundtrack have been played throughout the movie. I think that the songs relate very well since they were fitted into the movie perfectly. One is even written by the actor who plays Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and it brings out his beautiful voice. Its a soundtrack that'll make you want to put it in your CD player and keep it repeating all day long. If you've seen the movie and want the music this is as close to the movie music as you'll get (duh, reason why they call it a soundtrack).

With this being the fourth (and hopefully not the last one) was one that I enjoyed the most. This book was just as interesting as the first three books. It was really intriguing because it was written in three different parts and things that were unfolding were things that I didn't think would happen. But as I kept on reading I noticed that Stephenie wanted readers to know what it felt like to be a vampire. It is a must read if you've read the first three.

The third book of four continues and is the sequel to New Moon. When I found out that this one was out I had to read it. At the time that it was released I was working full-time and going to school part-time so I bought the audiobook on iTunes. I listened to it in one day and it gave me the same affect as if I had read it. There were times when the reader made the book sound alive, so there were times I wanted to cry, but overall I felt as if it was a good book.

The second book of four in the best-selling series written by Stephenie Meyer continues the fixation brought on by Twilight. New Moon is the sequel to Twilight and I figured that if I enjoyed Twilight I'd enjoy New Moon. Since I was intrigued by it from the first page I just couldn't put it down. Once I was done with this one I wanted to read more, but didn't know that the third one was being published.

The first book of four of the best-selling series written by Stephenie Meyer has become a new fixation for many who have read the books. Twilight, in my eyes, is like Romeo & Juliet but with a twist because it involves Vampires and Werewolves. When I first saw the book (before reading it) I figured that I wouldn't get into it. But then I finally caved in and read it, and I actually enjoyed it. If you have read any vampire novels then this is one that you might get into. I got into and by the time I got to the end I wanted to read the second one (I read this around the time New Moon came out).
