Entwined

This post has spoilers in it.


I got Entwined from the library a few days ago and I had to wait for Mum to preview it. She said I could read it. I started to read it on Wendsday morning but only read a small bit of it. I read more of it on Thursday and that night when Mum came up to say good night I asked her if she could stay with me while I went to sleep. You know why?
The book freaked me out.
But lets just start from the start and get to what scared me later alright?
Okay starting off, it is not as good as Princess of the Midnight Ball no, I didn't finish Entwined, no, that's right, I didn't. Entwined had a slower start and took a while to get into whereas Princess of the Midnight Ball was like first chapter Galen has the old woman give him the white and black wool. Oh, yeah that's probably what was so ah! None of the guys in Entwined beat Galen. None of them! Fairweller (not quite sure if I spelt his name right) I really liked and Lord Teddie but seriously Galen is like so cool.
Azalea is a caring sister. I acknowledge that and she was close to her sisters another plus, Clover and Bramble I really liked and it was funny the night Lord Bradford comes and everyone's pestering him.
The King I didn't like very much at the start but he grew on you because you got to hear and learn more about him.
One of the things I was like, oh that's stupid' was that the girls are like "Oh, look its a secret passage, lets go down it and see what's inside.' They didn't even take a long knife or anything did they? I would have if I had been them. Maybe a sword instead hmmm.
Now the scariness and creepiness well, they actually have a name, yes, a name.
Keeper. I myself like to call him Keeper the Creepy, rhymes too. He's a little strange at the start and than your like "OH MY FLIPPING HECK HE IS SO SCARY!" Like living on the top of the pavilion stealing the needle and the brooch being just so scary. I much prefer the bad guy from J. D. George's who isn't like so creepy. Than his demanding that they find the magical object and destroy it and than saying you can't come back if you don't find it" blah, blah, blah. I mean seriously? Who'd want to go dancing after that sort of thing I mean Keeper want to set himself free 'Alarm bells' ringing Azalea are really slow and than when she finds out he's D'Eathe mad guy who wants to set himself free so he can kill the general. (not knowing the killing part of course) but its just first they walk down the staircase,a and than there are all these people there than they all disappear then this guy says they can come back whenever they want and than things which they bring start going missing and than he wants to be set free? Also the part with Azalea's mother and Keeper was way to creep. More creepy than anything else this guys keeping souls and stuff (never found out if this was true).

So if it hadn't of had Keeper the Creeper so very creepy and sneaky (that rhymed) I would have finished it but after that I don't think so.
I got Mum to tell me the rest of the story and it sounded a little long winded but than some books are like that and I was glad that Mum told who ended up with who. And that's it. I would say that if I had been a bit older I would have looked at Entwined in a different light but at the moment I still think it's creepy.
And yes, a recommendation of age I think is appropriate for this book:
15 and up I'd say maybe 16 or up.

Sorry if this post is a little hard to deceiver but than that's how I wrote it. :)

Alice in Wonderland. My idea of this movie.

I watched Alice in Wonderland last night.
My thought on this movie are probably far from what you bare thinking.
Not to mention the movies a bit weird anyway but, I simply thought it wasn't really good at all!!!

I think probably the Mad Hatter was probably the worst role ever which Johnny Depp as done (well, at least with the movies I've seen him in). The White Queen I couldn't stand and Alice? Well, I hated most of her dresses except probably the first and the last ones.

And I'd have to say that the Red Queen was my favourite character!!
Plus, it took  a long to to get into to this.
Another thing I guess is I'm not one of those people who goes for cards and chess pieces sort of thing.

I guess I'm sounding like a real pessimist but that's just the way I feel about this movie.
Well, I'd better go.

God Bless

THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They won't be making anymore princess movies at all!!!
 I learned this by reading a article on facebook which Autumn told me about here is the article:

Once upon a time, there was a studio in Burbank, California, that spun classic fairytales into silver-screen gold.

But now the curtain is falling on ''princess movies'', which have been a part of Disney Animation's heritage since the debut in 1937 of its first feature film, Snow White. The studio's release of Tangled, a contemporary retelling of Rapunzel, will be the last fairytale produced by Disney's animation group for the foreseeable future.

''Films and genres do run a course,'' says the chief of Pixar Animation Studios, Ed Catmull, who with the director John Lasseter oversees Disney Animation. ''They may come back later because someone has a fresh take on it … but we don't have any other musicals or fairytales lined up.''

Catmull and Lasseter have killed two other fairytale movies that were in development, The Snow Queen and Jack and the Beanstalk.

To appreciate what a sea change this is for the company, consider that a fairytale castle is a landmark at Disney theme parks around the world and is embedded in the Walt Disney Pictures logo. Fairytale characters from Disney's movies populate the parks, drive sales of merchandise and serve as the inspiration for Broadway musicals.

But Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, Jasmine and the other Disney royals were born in the 20th century. Now, different kinds of Disney characters are starring in the megaplexes and toy aisles, including Pixar's Toy Story buddies Buzz Lightyear and Woody, Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean and a platoon of superheroes from the acquisition of Marvel Entertainment.

Over the decades, Disney has benefited from the ticket sales and licensing revenue generated by such princess-driven properties as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. The studio's most recent offering, however, was a disappointment. Although critically acclaimed, last year's The Princess and the Frog (pictured, right) was the worst performer of Disney's recent fairytales.

In the age of mega-franchises when movies need to appeal to a broad audience to justify a sizeable investment, Disney discovered too late that The Princess and the Frog appealed to too narrow an audience: little girls. This prompted the studio to change the name of its Rapunzel movie to the gender-neutral Tangled and shift the lens of its marketing to the film's swashbuckling male co-star, Flynn Rider.

The movie was reconceived as a musical with fast-paced action and witty banter. The only surviving elements, Catmull says, were ''the hair, the tower and Rapunzel''.

Disney hopes Tangled will draw boys, teenagers and adults to the cinema, succeeding where its frog-prince saga failed. But it is taking no such chances in the future. Its current animation roster includes Winnie the Pooh, a return to the Hundred Acre Wood, and Reboot Ralph - itself a restart of an older project titled Joe Jump - about an outdated video-game character who has been left behind by the march of technology.

Catmull says he and Lasseter have been encouraging filmmakers to break with safe and predictable formulas and push creative boundaries.

''If you say to somebody, 'You should be doing fairytales,' it's like saying, 'Don't be risky,''' Catmull says. ''We're saying, 'Tell us what's driving you.'''

So why has the clock struck midnight for Disney's fairytales?

Among girls, princesses and the romanticised ideal they represent - revolving around finding the man of your dreams - have a limited shelf life. With the advent of ''tween'' TV, the tiara-wearing ideal of femininity has been supplanted by new adolescent role models.

''By the time they're five or six, they're not interested in being princesses,'' says Dafna Lemish, who chairs the radio and TV department at Southern Illinois University and is an expert in the role of media in children's lives. ''They're interested in being hot, in being cool. Clearly, they see this is what society values.''

MGA Entertainment, the maker of Bratz dolls, knocked the toy industry's blonde bombshell off her stilettos by recognising how little girls' interests have morphed.

''You've got to go with the times,'' MGA's chief executive, Isaac Larian, says. ''You can't keep selling what the mothers and the fathers played with before. You've got to see life through their lens.''

Tangled opens on January 6.
