Surrogates

Bruce Willis brings this action sci-fi movie to great levels. Surrogates shows us what life would be like in complete solitude from the world, while at the same time being able to socialize. Only, in this life, you are not socializing in your own skin. The movie seems to prove more points to how precious each person's own life is than to rather have a true clear plot. It is a typical action movie, those who watch many action movies may be able to predict what happens along the way of watching the movie. There are reasons this movie is rated PG 13, but those who watch many action movies will probably not be fazed. Some things to expect are: Explisions, disturbing images, sexuality, drug related scene, and sequences of violence. Over all, good movie, but is something that you'd have to be in to to thoroughly enjoy.

Amelia

This movie was based on the true life story of Amelia Earhart. In the movie it goes through different details of her life, her personal life, to her life in the spotlight as a pilot. Some well known actresses and actors worked hard to make this legondary story come to life, their names are, Hillary Swank, Richard Gere, Ewen McGregor, and Christopher Eccleston. The movie seemed to capture the light of Amelia's story in a new way, while still keeping the the facts straight. My original fears going into this movie was that they would hollywoodize it too much, put too much of a new modern day twist and leave out the facts. But, they managed to keep a good balance between the two, they kept the facts, and made sure that the romance and fictional parts to the movie were kept to a reasonable level. The movie was not a doctumentory, but the content is still something that you could find in a text book. Amelia is an inspiring heart warming film that would be enjoyed by people of all ages.

:: Welcome :: Introduction

Hello,

My name is Katie - or you may better know me as BeyondTheCrystalShores. Have you ever gone to the movies or read a book and had so many opinions - good or bad - that you just couldn't wait for your best friend to watch it so that you could critique it together in late night phone conversations? Well, I've been there, done that, and mainly with my friend, VitaniCoyote. So, after years of complaining and rejoicing privately with one another in the most detailed of fashions we both buckled down and told eachother "let's do a review blog". Coming up with the idea has been much easier than the execution, however, it has been and will continue to be a progressive work in progress.

This is our blog, a compilation of reviews done by us after watching a movie or reading a book that we just couldn't help but talk about! You'll find the author of each review below the title of the post. Your comments and critiques are encouraged as well as any thoughts that you personally had about the movie or book. After all, any act is only as good as the reaction of its viewers.

I hope that you enjoy this blog, and that the information posted here can be of some help to you.

Thank you for taking the time to look at this blog

However, most of all, thank you for your time and support,

May joy and happiness fill the spaces in your life. :)
