Wicked : The MOVIE!!

I just found out that Hollywood's making a movie of "Wicked"!! I CAN'T wait!
It's coming out in 2014(darn!) and so is still in development.
But it is AWESOME because it's still going to be a musical. I'm not quite sure who will qualify for the roles,but I think someone from Glee and Anne Hathaway(and other actresses). I wish Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth weren't to old. :`(
I will be seeing in the theater(unless it's R) ;)
                            It's pretty much my favorite Broadway EVER!!
ps. DO NOT READ THE BOOK. It's not like I didn't like it(haha, I only read the few pages),but there was A LOT mature things, and I would not advice it.

Brave ~~ a Pixar film

Sarah my older sister just showed me this trailer for the Pixar movie "Brave".
It's the story of a Scottish princess and her love for archery. Something like that.
Anyway,it's released next summer, and I think it looks really neat. And here's the trailer..... Enjoy!
p.s. That's Gerard Butler's voice!! He's awesome...

Inkheart - Cornelia Funke

I have just finished the "Ink" Trilogy by Cornelia Funke. The books in order : Inkheart, Inkspell, and Inkdeath. Here's the plot :
Meggie’s father, Mo, has an wonderful and sometimes terrible ability. When he reads aloud from books, he brings the characters to life--literally. Mo discovered his power when Maggie was just a baby. He read so lyrically from the the book Inkheart, that several of the book’s wicked characters ended up blinking and cursing on his cottage floor. Then Mo discovered something even worse--when he read Capricorn and his henchmen out of Inkheart, he accidentally read Meggie’s mother in.
Meggie, now a young lady, knows nothing of her father's bizarre and powerful talent, only that Mo still refuses to read to her. Capricorn, a being so evil he would "feed a bird to a cat on purpose, just to watch it being torn apart," has searched for Meggie's father for years, wanting to twist Mo's powerful talent to his own dark means. Finally, Capricorn realizes that the best way to lure Mo to his remote mountain hideaway is to use his beloved, oblivious daughter Meggie as bait!
Thus it begins.......
Inkheart is a must read. Cornelia Funke was a genius to think this up.
There is some language in the all of them, the most in Inkspell. The violence is not graphic, but they do talk about torturing methods a tiny bit in Inkdeath. And there is some kissing.
My favorite characters are Meggie,Dustfinger,Farid,Gwin,and Doria.But there are tons more characters that are really good.And the bad guys are very bad. It has a twist on all fantasy books,and I definitely recommend this. 5/5 stars.
