Blanki's Book Review
The Art Of Racing In The Rain by Garth Stein is a must read! It is a coming of age story told in the perspective of Enzo, a very wise and perceptive dog. Unlike any book that I have ever read, The Art of Racing in the Rain took me on an emotional rollercoaster and really made me think about the world through a dog's eye! Enzo is loving and understanding and above all else, live's his life to be the best friend, pet and soul mate to his owner Denny. I say a must read for EVERYBODY, The Art of Racing in the Rain is one of those books that has it all. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will make you realize that some of the best companions in life come in the shape of a four-legged friend!
Blanki's Movie Stop
Movie 1:
A Christmas Carol
I must say that I have never read or seen A Christmas Carol before...I know that 's horrible...but I pretty much new the story and the characters. Starring Jim Carey, Disney's A Christmas Carol was a wonderful movie to get me into the holiday spirit. The animation was spectacular and we were even able to see it in 3D. I would say a must have on DVD! I'm thinking maybe even making it a tradition to watch it every Christmas Eve!
Movie 2:
Avatar
Starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Lola Herrera, and Joel David Moore and directed by James Cameron, Avatar is a must see. The story takes you to another world called Pandora where humans are trying to mine for some mineral that will solve Earth's energy crisis. Jake Sully is an ex marine who is confined to a wheelchair but finds that through the Avatar body that is linked to his consciousness can experience walking again. Sent on a mission to learn the ways and eventually convince the Na'vi people to let the humans mine for the minerals, Jake finds himself falling for one of the Na'vi women and really caring for and understanding their race and their world. Jake soon has to decide who and what he is really fighting for. Avatar was an amzing movie both visually and emotionally! Avatar is the best thing to happen to blue since the Smurfs! (I read that somewhere, can't take credit for that one!)
Movie 3:
Sherlock Holmes
Starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, and Rachel McAdams, Sherlock Holmes is a must see for anybody! Downey and Law have great chemistry as Holmes and Watson. It was a thrilling story that doesn't all come together until the very end and is full of humor and wit. I give it 2 thumbs up!!!
