A FAN MADE Hunger Games Book Trailer (Book by Suzanne Collins)  I am fascinated by book trailers, especially fan made ones.

I was trying to gauge if I'd have enough energy to make it. The last time I had done it in 2009...it exhausted me. Completely. It was worth it, though. I got my first ebook out of it - Adventures in Funeral Crashing and

All ways for you to read books now. And, I love book, books - don't get me wrong. I will always have a physical bookshelf full of them at my house. Always. But, digital is coming and fast!!!

I am reading "I'm Proud of You: Life Lessons Learned by My Friend Fred Rogers" by Tim Madigan and it chronicles his friendship with THE Mr. Rogers. On, page 49 of the book, Mr. Rogers has written Tim a letter and he writes about a day where he had trouble getting home because of a huge rainstorm that knocked down a bunch of trees and blocked the roads, so it took Mr. Rogers over an hour to drive

I should make a trailer for this book, Lightning, my favorite book by Dean Koontz. This one is dry. It's a good book, I swear!Inspiration can only help...on the road to your dreams.One of my favorite authors is Dean Koontz. I've liked him ever since I was a teenager and read Lightning. I am happy to see that he has a page dedicated to answering the aspiring writer's questions...about writing.

Dragging this morning? Play this.Ah, bright and early and 5 am. Still hard, yet easier. Much easier to hit the snooze too. So, to wake up with coffee, I searched "wake up song." All serious songs. Nope. Not what I was looking for. So, I searched "funny wake up song" and found this. Hahahahaha! Perfect.

And, actually, they say there are less accidents ON Friday the 13th...because people are EXTRA careful!!!Anyway, in honor of Friday the 13th...both trailers for the movie of that name - the original 1980 version and the 2009 remake.The remake...I haven't seen the

Book trailers are the new wave in selling books. They've progressed since the 80s, when it was mostly just a cover and a read my book by a really famous author. Booooring. They're FINALLY going the way of movie trailers....and you can find them all over youtube. So, I did a search - of some of my favorite authors and then started surfing. This is what I found:Airhead by Meg CabotTwenties Girl by

Ah, the Brady's.For anyone who needs to be reminded to have a Sunshine Day this Monday morning!!!!!! Yes, even if it's raining.

I put the words "Saturday Song" into you tube...just wanting to find a fun Saturday song....as in "Yay! It's Saturday", but I found this one first and I kinda like it. It's a melancholy love song, but I actually sat and listened to the whole thing - a mark of a good youtube song. It's called On A Saturday Night (11:27) sung by Jordan McCoy. She has a really pretty voice.I'm all about finding the

Buffy is still cool. She even gets to fight Edward Cullen.Buffy the Vampire Slayer is still one of my all-time favorite television series, so I've been a fan of Joss Whedon for a long time. When I read his open letter to the Terminator Owners, I laughed, but then again, I'd be super excited if he did end up owning the franchise.Hahahaha - Here's what Joss had to say:http://whedonesque.com/

This was just funny. At least I was amused. :)

Sigh....Where was my cnn news report on this? An ireport at the very least? This is IMPORTANT news! Oh, yeah, there's youtube.And, as an FYI, this was done to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the release of Say Anything (on Blu-Ray)! It wasn't just a random act of greatness. Still, awesome.A band called the Lloyd Dobler Effect sang "In Your Eyes" in Time Square too:

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is a fun, pirate popcorn movie. It is what it's supposed to be. Although, my favorite was still the first one. Still, I had a great time watching this one. It's been a fun ride of Pirate movies so far! The logline: Captain Jack Sparrow gets roped into the hunt for the fountain of youth. Swashbuckling and pirate-y good fun ensues. Life's Like A

Animated Disney movies always make me smile. They're just fun and carefree and maybe, just maybe they remind me of being a kid. That, being said, here are my favorites: The Little Mermaid - My  absolute, all time favorite! The songs are great and catchy and the story is super fun.  Plus, it's about a mermaid who just wants to follow her dreams above the sea and become human! And, the romance...

Upcoming Movies I am super excited about!!!!!! There's some good ones for this summer 2011 and beyond - Super 8 - It's out this past weekend - 6/10/2011! I am super excited. It feels like it's going to be like an old Spielberg film...except spiced up by JJ Abrams. It looks like it's going to be a fun adventure. Can't wait to run out and see it this weekend!!! Harry Potter and the Deathly

Kid Movies are fun. I'll admit it. I like them even though I'm an adult. Hey, I have a whole blog about life being like a movie...I'm kind of a kid at heart. So, in honor of loving kid movies, here are my top five, in no particular order: The Little Mermaid (1989) - Ariel, the mermaid, wants to become a human. Singing and musical numbers ensue. Under the sea, under the sea.... I can't help

My top five scary movies, in honor of Scream 4 coming out to theaters! Scream. They made fun of horror movies - genius! It was funny AND scary!!!!! Can't wait to see Scream 4! Nightmare on Elm Street (the original). Besides starring a young Johnny Depp...what a great idea - a crazed killer stalking you in your dreams!!!! You HAVE to go to sleep sometime! Halloween (the original with Jamie

Comic book movies seem set to explode this summer - from Thor, to the Green Lantern to the Green Hornett to X-Men First Class. I'll admit it, I'm not an avid comic reader...but I love the movies! They're fun, with great characters, fantastic villans, and all in all great adventures. And, then there are also the ones I forget about - that are really dark or about regular people - but those are

I was getting in Karate Kid marathon mode and posted that as my status on Facebook, when I was  informed that I needed to add the Karate Kid cartoon series to my list of things to watch. I didn't even remember a cartoon series!!!! So, on that note, this blog is dedicated to a few blasts from the past of 1984/1985 movies turned TV series: The Karate Kid - originally a 1984 movie staring Ralph

Don't know what to watch to commemorate the lovely holiday known as April fools in a couple of days? Here are some ideas!!!! If you want to go by title.... There's always April Fool's Day, the 1986 slasher classic (check it out on imdb): Or, The April Fools, a 1969 romantic comedy (check it out on imdb): If you're thinking more along the lines of movies about practical jokes or pranks....

Arnold Schwarzenegger Movies and Screams Ah, Arnold. He's awesome. There is no action movie star quite like him. And, yet, he's also had a few great comedies, like Twins, Jingle All the Way, and Kindergarten Cop (okay, that one has action too!)    I remember the first Arnold movie I ever watched. I was in junior high and I was sleeping over at a friend's house. She had Terminator 2 on VHS. I had

Movie #14: Fright Night (1985) Fright Night is actually a great movie to watch for Halloween. It's campy 1980s and not really scary, but a fun movie overall - great to watch with friends. Quick Synopsis: 1980s movie about a teenager who thinks a vampire is living next door, but nobody believes him. My Life's Like This Movie: In the movie, the main character, Jerry finds the television show

Movie #13: Red Red is a movie that I might not have seen except that a friend and I randomly decided to go see it because her only other choice was a movie that looked depressing and I wanted to see something fun. And, I really enjoyed it - it's funny, full of action, and a fun adventure/hit/comedy movie with a fun romance added in. The gist: A former black ops agent (Bruce Willis) gets a hit

Movie#12: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is one of those movies that I heard hype about as a book before I even saw the movie. This is the Swedish version (I know they're making an American one right now). So, I read the book by Steig Larsson first and am in the process of reading the sequels (before I ever see the movies). The books are excellent and so was this

In honor of the holidays, my ten top favorite Christmas Movies (in no particular order): 1. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer 2. A Christmas Story 3. Die Hard 4. The Nightmare Before Christmas 5. It's a Wonderful Life 6.  Frosty the Snowman 7. The Holiday 8. National Lampoons Christmas Vacation 9. Home Alone 10. Miracle on 34th Street

Movie #11: Rebecca Rebecca is a movie I always meant to see, after I read the book by Daphne DuMauier. I've never gotten around to reading the book and when it popped up on my netflix cue, I just decided - yes, I'm just going to watch the movie! I wasn't sure what to expect - I knew it was sort of a gothic romance suspense. And, it is pretty interesting, although a bit dated and not really like

Movie #10: Blow Up  Blow Up was a...weird movie. Very 1960s art movie. The gist: A photographer blows up a series of photos and realizes he's taken pictures of a murder. How's my life like this movie? Well, Licorice and I went to the park and took this picture: If you blow up Licorice, here she is all super cute: And, then if you blow up the dirt and leaves on the ground near her, you

Movie #9: Beauty and the Beast Beauty and the Beast always tugs at my heart strings, every time I see it. It's one of the good old Disney musical cartoons, along with Aladdin and The Little Mermaid. I love them all - great songs, good story, and so much fun. I could listen to their soundtracks over and over and over again.  Be our guest! Be our guest! Okay...I'm not actually going to sing. And,

Movie #8: The Amityville Horror (1979 version) The Amityville Horror (1979 version) was actually kind of a boring horror movie. Although, maybe it's just dated. I haven't seen the Ryan Reynolds version from a few years back, also entitled The Amityville Horror, but from 2005. Maybe that one is scarier. This one just had a lot of spooky things happening, but nothing you could really see. Some

Movie #7: Letters to Juliet Letters to Juliet is a perfect romantic movie for a girl's night in. Sigh... The general gist of it is: An American Girl goes to Italy and visits a Verona courtyard where people leave letters to Juliet of Romeo and Juliet. A group of women answers these letters and the American Girl partakes in answering one. Then, the adventure begins... It actually makes me want

In this case life's like...Procrastination.  Enjoy the song by some random girl on youtube. I hear ya, girl. And, more blogs on the way!!! I have been watching, I swear! Well, except for those 2 days where I watched Star Trek Deep Space 9 and Life Unexpected, but I will catch up! Hey, I like television too and that's why it's 365 movies in 365 days! Blogs to come in order of watching them:

Movie #6: The Jerk The Jerk with Steve Martin is one of those movies that I've heard about for forever and never seen. I knew it was Steve Martin's first feature film and I love a lot of his 80s comedies, but I'd never gotten around to it. And, it is pretty funny. It's a screwball comedy - sort of a rags to riches deal, but totally ridiculous. I mean, Steve Martin, at the beginning is from an

Movie #6: The Secret of Kells The Secret of Kells is a unique animated tale. It was up for an Academy Award actually, as an fyi. And, I really enjoyed it. The animation is different and quite artistically beautiful to watch. As to the story, it's a nice fable of a boy with a quest involving an ancient book, a mystical girl, and his own determination to follow his path despite the obstacles in

Movie #5: E.T. - The Extra Terrestrial (20th Anniversary Edition) E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial (20th Anniversary Edition) was a fun one that I rewatched last night. I hadn't seen the added clips before in this edition (In my opinion, they aren't necessary though and don't add much, although they're fun) and it was amusing to see the walkie talkies instead of guns. It's still such a great movie.

Movie #3: Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure is an excellent 80s comedy movie. It's about two dudes, who are about to flunk their high school history class and to prevent them from doing so (because of the impact on the future of the entire world) a guy from the future comes to let them use his bodacious phone booth time machine so that they can learn about

Movie #2: The Big Sleep The Big Sleep is a classic detective mystery staring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. I've never seen it, although I do like Humphrey Bogart. I've been meaning to see more classics and this was a famous one that I found on my netflix instant, so I hit play and watched. This movie takes so many twists and turns that it's crazy - I mean, the movie felt over about an hour

Movie #1: 13 Going on 30 13 Going On 30: One of the few birthday movies out there and the one I chose to watch on this birthday. This movie is romcom candy and I really like it. Jennifer Garner totally plays a great 30 year old, who has a mental state of 13. Love it!!! So, basically a great birthday movie pick for me. I'm not 13 going on 30 anymore, but I will say that you still have that
