One month later....

So I suck at this weekly thing.

Recently, much hasn't been to crazy. Been working more and writing more. Went on a trip to Montana which was nice and I even gambled a little.

Well onto the review. I know this movie is old but I just recently got the chance to see it.

This time we journey once again with Sacha Baron Cohen in Bruno. Boy o boy where do I even begin with Bruno. The first thing I want to say is I actually enjoyed Bruno. It had some really funny moments and I also liked Borat before it. Now onto the actual review. Bruno is another movie in which Sacha Baron Cohen takes on a ridiculous persona in order to unearth the ignorance of some people. This time its Austrian gay fashion show host Bruno. This movie is a pretty good comedy. If you are expecting the same thing as Borat be warned, Bruno is more shocking and the character is much more developed surprisingly. You actually get a feel for the character of Bruno and at some times you forget that its Baron Cohen in costume. But one problem with the movie is the fact that a lot of it seems staged. This doesn't take away from the movie itself seeing as there are a few events that had to have been real.

I have to give props to Baron Cohen for being able to be threatened by people and not break character for one second. It is also interesting how this movie tries to send a message. It shows how ignorant and homophobic some people can be and then turns around and makes fun of being gay 2 minutes later. Some of the segments are setup to show how many people in this world are afraid of gay people, while many others are just shown to see how far Baron Cohen can push people before the start throwing fists at him. Also, for those of you who haven't seen Borat be warned this movie is built on shock humor and there is plenty of nudity. I say this because I took my girlfriend and she hadn't seen Borat, so she was in for a surprise.

Altogether I say this is still a fun entertaining movie. I just don't think it is a comedic revolution like the media has been saying. But I would say it is on par with Borat. I give this movie a B+.

Well hopefully I can get around to seeing more movies soon. District 9 is next on my list. Until next time. - Ko

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Hello, our ever so faithful readers. This is time it is I, Jo, who is doing the movie review, instead of our good sir Kody. Why? Because I found OH SO MANY things wrong with this one. I apologize that it's not in any sort of order- but I'm determined to get every last bit out. By the way, if you haven't seen this movie OR read the sixth and seventh Harry Potters, I wouldn't advise reading this, as it contains some spoilers.

Alright, the first thing I NEED to get out is, did they even take into consideration the book whilst writing the screenplay? It seemed as though none of the writers had even read it; almost like they grabbed some teeny bopper off the street and went, "Okay, paraphrase the Half Blood Prince in five minutes." There weren't ANY SCENES whatsoever that matched the book in any way! And, yes, I understand that they need to make some sacrifices, however, there wasn't anything that played off as it did in the book. At least with the previous movies they were able to keep true.

Alright, next thing. What happened to Dumbledore's funeral? One of the things that has always remained consistent with the books and the movies is that it begins in the middle of summer, and always, ALWAYS ends at the end of the school year. So... what? Are all the kids just going to hang around until fall for his funeral or what? Also... one of the last scenes was Harry standing in Dumbledore's office, and McGonagall is being all, "Blah blah blah Dumbledore loved you," and Harry is fondling Dumbledore's wand. Uhm.... Hello?? Isn't it kind of a BIG thing how Voldemort goes through all this trouble to desecrate Dumbledore's grave to GET to his wand. Wasn't this movie supposed to be setting up for the seventh?

A little thing, yet I still found somewhat important. Narcissa's hair. In the book, Narcissa has hair that is long, blonde and pale. In contrast, Bellatrix is "dark as his sister was fair." They got Bellatrix right. But WHY, oh WHY is half of Narcissa's hair brown? It makes no sense! The Malfoy family has ALWAYS been described as extremely pale, with straw blonde hair. Would it really have been that hard to just dye the entirety of her hair?

Which (kind of) brings me to my next point. The whole Borgin and Burkes thing. First of all, didn't Draco ditch Mummy dearest? I mean, the Dark Lord gave him a mission to kill Dumbledore. I don't think it would have been in his best interest to just waltz into a dark magic sort of store with a wife of an imprisoned Death Eater, plus a good four or five Death Eaters, and, oh! Let's not forget a werewolf too! Wouldn't people have noticed a huge group of people just sort of waltzing into the store, let alone waltzing along in Diagon Alley?

Next point- all this werewolf crap. This one is kind of tricky, as it includes two different story lines. First off, Tonks' and Remus' relationship. Well... isn't there not supposed to be one? And yet, she calls him "Swee' hea't" at the Weasley Christmas party thing. The reason Tonks CANNOT be with Remus is because he's supposed 'blending in' with the other werewolves, including Fenrir Greyback, and Remus believes that it's just too difficult, blah blah blah. Because of this, Tonks gets all depressed, and changes her Patronus. (Which, if I may add, wasn't even in the movie - Luna found Harry in the Slytherians compartment instead of Tonks. More about that later.) Harry misreads it and believes her to be in love with Sirius (who was only mentioned ONCE! COME ON!! They didn't even INFORM Harry number twelve, Grimmauld Place now belongs to him! Don't worry, I'll get to it.) which leads to all sorts of complications. Ugh. We'll get back to Tonks and Remus later. Let's move on.

Fleur Delacour... Uh... Wasn't she in the book? Somewhere? Just a little? Oh, yeah, THAT'S RIGHT, BILL AND HER ARE GETTING MARRIED! Wasn't that mentioned a little bit in the book? OF COURSE, THE WEDDING IS HOW THE SEVENTH BOOK STARTS, AND HOW THE DEATH EATERS TRY TO FIND HARRY. Man, oh man. Good luck, David Yates, you're going to have a helluva lot of angry Potter fans on your tail for this one. Fleur wasn't in the movie at all! And it's Fleur and Bill that finally bring Remus and Tonks together - Bill gets attacked by Fenrir Greyback, and Fleur declares, "I am good-looking enough for the both of us, I theenk! All these scars show is zat my husband is brave!" Which has Tonks crying and going, "You see! She still wants to marry him, even though he's been bitten!" Which sort of brings me to (one of) the last points - 

The end battle. In the book, when Harry and Dumbledore return from the caves, there's supposed to be all sorts of a commotion, which is where Bill gets attacked by Greyback. No, not in the movie... All the Hogwarts students are just sleeping away as their headmaster gets killed. 

Now... It's been stated since the VERY BEGINNING that you cannot Apparate INSIDE of Hogwarts, correct? Hermione states it god knows HOW many times throughout the entire series. And, yes, I'm very aware they didn't even give the Apparation lessons in the movie. And yet, "Being [Dumbledore] has its privileges." OH COME ON. That totally RUINS the last part of the book too, where Dumbledore Stupifies Harry under the Cloak (which he didn't have) so Harry can watch all of this lovely Dumbledore-killing unravel. The book itself even states, "Dumbledore had wordlessly immobilized Harry, and the second he had taken to perform the spell had cost him the chance of defending himself." And doesn't someone question why there are two broomsticks up on the Astronomy Tower?

Alright, last complaint - Rufus Scrimgeour. Uhh... What ever happened to him? Regardless of the fact that there wasn't even a Minister meeting at the beginning of the movie, Scrimgeous was NEVER shown. Where's all the stuff about Harry being "Dumbledore's man, through and through"?

Okay, and this is my VERY last complaint - the whole Weasley house catching on fire after Death Eaters entice Harry into an open field. Um, what? Where did that even come from?

Alright, well, that's it. I'm sure I missed out on other things, but those are the majority of my complaints. I'm sorry it's so out of order, but I had a hard time trying to put it in order and it didn't do much good anyway. I was sooo excited for the movies; and now I'm just hoping they didn't butcher the seventh one(s) as well. Enjoy. I'd like to hear your comments on it as well.

- Jo

It's been a while...

Okay so I'm not very good at this whole weekly thing. I have been way busy this past week.

So far everything seems to be about the same. Dave and I are starting to write our first feature film which we hope to film later this year. Okay on to the movie review.

I've been pretty busy but I was able to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and boy do I wish I hadn't. The first Transformers was about a boy and his car, except the car is actually a shape shifting robot, stay with me on this one, that had come to Earth to stop the Decepticons from obtaining the all spark, a device with ultimate power. Transformers was an enjoyable film and that's saying a lot since it is Micheal Bay and it was a movie based on a wildly conceived toy line. Transformer: RotF however is a plot less, mind numbingly stupid film. The only parts of this film that I actually enjoyed were the ones when Optimus was kicking some robot ass, and even those scenes were stupefied with lines like, "You're a tin can!" or "You piece of scrap!" The entire movie completely offended me with how stupid it was. There's Sam (Shia LeBeof) who was a likable nerdy guy in the first film and has now become a complete whiny dick in the new one. There's Mikela (Megan Fox) who although a 2-D character, was at least strong willed and independent in the first movie, has now become a shriveling mess of boyfriend dependency. The robot's that were once cool and warrior like are now reduced to one liners and swearing. Now, I'm not against swearing obviously but for a kids movie this one has a lot of it, and I think it's completely stupid that the robots swear as well, come on!

Of course by now everyone has heard of the offensive twins, I can see why people would get offended. What I don't understand is why do some Transformers have accents? I think it is just lazy writing that the robots have been reduced to racial caricatures. And it makes me sick thinking of how much money was put into making those twins look like characters from the Homiez figurines. Oh and there is the mysterious disappearance of John Hurt's character, At least one actor was smart enough to turn this movie down. There is a lot of things that bug me about this movie, from the now dubbed 'Deceptislut' to the Transformer 'Scrotum' to Tom Kenny (Spongebob Squarepants) voicing seemingly every Transformer to having almost no plot at all. And as for the score, I feel bad that Hans Zimmer has been reduced to working around a Linkin Park song. Don't get me wrong, I liked old Linkin Park but they seem to not want to go away. All in all there are way to many things I hated about this film and I wouldn't suggest this to anyone. Save that $8 and go buy yourself a DVD of a good movie, or go see a much better film.

Well that's all for this week, I hope to have more to come soon. Until next time. -Ko

Wednesday Already!

Yes, yes, I know. I haven't updated in awhile but it's only because I have been busy.

So since the last blog not much has happened. Everyone has just been going to work or school. Our friend David just finished a video for a monthly contest. Be sure to check it out and vote for it over at filmaka.com, the movie is titled "Now You See Me."

Jo is moving into a new place of her own by the end of the month. I wish her good luck and can't wait to party there.

I had a job where I was able to film the Kenyan ambassador to America. It was fun and will be a great addition to my demo reel. Now on to the movie review.

So this past weekend I finally saw "Up", the new Pixar film. This film has already become one of my favorite Pixar movies. The movie is about a man who wants to travel to South America, I dream he had shared with his wife, and does so by using a vast amount of balloons to elevate his house. Along the way the man befriends an eager young boy scout, a talking dog, and an elegant bird. The trailers for this movie seemed awfully boring but it was a blast. Carl, the elderly man, is much warmer in the movie instead of typical cold old man as seen in the trailers. And the CG is amazingly breathtaking. As with all Pixar films though it's not about the CG but the story and boy is this one a tear jerking. I was literally balling through half the movie. The film immediately breaks your heart in the first few minutes with a beautiful opening montage and it keeps plucking those heart strings until the very end. Up is full of wonderful characters and beautiful lands that only the team at Pixar can bring to life. I absolutely loved "Up" and while it may be getting mixed reviews, it's still in my top 5 favorite Pixar movies. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Well that's my review for this week. Until next time. It might not be today, it might not be tomorrow, but hopefully it will be next week. Oh, and we'll always have Paris. -Ko

I just have to say it again...

I just need to state how amazing of a person Kody is. Truly. I would be lost without him. He's so strong, so caring, so considerate. I can't believe that there are people in the world who haven't had the pleasure of meeting him, and will never feel the blessing. I still can't believe how lucky I am. Both of our guardian angels have the biggest smiles on their faces.

A Day Late, A Dollar Short

So far I've only gotten one blog in on time but really I'm trying,

This week both Jo and my bro graduated and are now officially out of high school and thrust into the world. Congratulations and the best of luck to both of you.

In smaller news I start my summer film boot camp this week and I hope it will kick my butt into gear so I can start making more films. I plan on using this blog to have updates on all of our future productions.

This week was already eventful enough for me so I never got around to seeing a movie although I plan on seeing Up next and then hopefully Away We Go. Instead of a film review I've decided to post:

10 FILMS THAT INFLUENCED ME THE MOST:

1. THE IRON GIANT (1999)
This movie was my favorite movie as a child. I remember sitting in my room watching it over and over again, all day, every day. A brilliant animated classic from the likes of Brad Bird. The Iron Giant is a boy-and-his-dog story of a kid named Hogarth Hughes who finds and befriends the mechanical behemoth. The Giant is chased after by a cold war crazy military who suspect the giant to be of Russian origin. Bird never does tell us where the giant comes from, but we never truly need to know. With beautiful animation, fleshed out characters, a classic story with some new twists, and one of the most unforgettable heart breaking endings, Iron Giant stands along side some of Animations best.

HOW DID IT INFLUENCE ME: Iron Giant was one of the first films I watched for its story. It was intended for kids but it does have some adult themes. It showed that even a kids film doesn't have to sacrifice story in order to entertain. Everyone has his or her favorite coming of age movie and this one is mine.

2. THE MATRIX (1999)
The matrix has you. With those famous words we are thrust into the world of The Matrix. A mind-blowing futuristic world, where are lives are all a computer program. The matrix may barrow some elements from other stories but it was still something no one had seen at the time. Although the sequels didn't have the same heart, the original will always stand out in my mind as not only an amazing sci-fi but a well-rounded action movie as well. I will never be able to forget the confrontation between Neo and Smith in the subway. This movie had the world saying 'Whoa'.

HOW DID IT INFLUENCE ME: The Matrix helped to stretch my imagination. It shows that no matter how crazy the idea film can still easily convey it. It ushered movies into to the age of special effects, which personally I'm not all for. Though when the matrix used special effects it did it to help progress the story. The Matrix's steam punk-kung-fu style was a much-needed breath of fresh air in the rom-com dominated '90s. When writing action I still refer to The Matrix for inspiration.

3. FIGHT CLUB (1999) The third (and last) film on my list from 1999. Fight Club is a pure adrenaline rush. The movie was one for the Gen-X crowd. As Tyler Durden says, "We are a generation of men, raised by women." Those words ring true in our modern OMG, Hills dominated culture. Fight Club is a beautiful adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s novel by master filmmaker David Fincher. Fight Club is about one man's journey to break out of the norm and discover himself. Fincher creates a rotting, archaic world with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton at their best. It is a world that many of us can relate to, not from experience but of wonderment. Plus, it boasts one of the craziest twist endings in history.

HOW DID IT INFLUENCE ME: Fincher madcap style sets this movie apart from much of his other work. It has beautiful cinematography, lighting, set design, and direction. It is a visual and visceral work of art. Fincher's direction (which seems to have toned down a lot since this movie, especially in Benjamin Button) helps to give a noir feel to a hard-hitting, self-destructive world. Fight Club was one of the first films that made me truly think. It also has amazing writing and some of the most inventive narration in years (especially since narration is a big no-no in filmmaking). Now I must move on before some realizes I just broke the first and second rules for writing this.

4. DONNIE DARKO (2001) Why are you wearing that bunny suit? Maybe because your Frank from Donnie Darko. Now synonymous with teenage Goths around the world as being their favorite film, Donnie Darko is a movie that stands out among the other indie flicks around the world. Donnie Darko's truly didn't come into its own until 2003's director's cut. Donnie Darko is about a young man living in a 80s suburb who gets caught up in time travel and parallel dimensions after a near death experience. Boasting one of the best soundtracks this side of Pulp Fiction, Donnie Darko sucks you into the lives of its middle-sex residents.

HOW DID IT INFLUENCE ME: Donnie Darko has a great combination of teen angst and sci-fi. Enough so that you actually forget you’re watching a sci-fi film. The score of the film is great and really puts you into that 80s vibe. It has a great atmosphere about it. It's also my favorite film to have on in the back ground while I right. Donnie Darko showcases what some good writing and a small budget can do.

5. OLDBOY (2003) His name is Oh-daesu and this is his story. One of the most disturbing and suspenseful films in history, Oldboy is a tale of a wreck of a man who is kept imprisoned for 13 years only be set free. Oh daesu sets out to seek revenge on his unknown captors in one of the most violent revenge films of all time. The second chapter in director Chan Wook-Park's trilogy of revenge films, Oldboy stands out as one of the most brutal, surrealistic movies ever made. It is a heart breaking film that proves that some men will go to no lengths to destroy themselves.

HOW DID IT INFLUENCE ME: Wook Park showed in this movie that action scenes don't need to be directed with mtv style camera work, as proven with the breath taking hallway one take. Oldboy also shows a man's self-loathing digression to nothing but a killing machine. It's hard to argue that Oldboy is one of the best action films ever. Just remember smile and the world smiles with you, frown and you frown alone.

6. NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959) A simple man (Cary Grant) is thrust into a world of espionage over being mistaken for another man. It's a classic Hitchcockian plot from the man himself, which set the stage for many of the thrillers we see now a days. Hitchcock proves in this movie that he is a master of pacing and a wizard with the camera. Hitchcock again brought us a horrifying fear of the unknown that shook up a tired genre. Although his other movie such as Psycho and Vertigo are considered his best, North by Northwest stands out of Hitchcock's enormous resume as one of his finest crafted works.

HOW DID IT INFLUENCE ME: The film had amazing composition in every one of its shots, sort of a Kubrick before Kubrick. It had a simple man thrust into a mysterious and complicated world. It has one of the most intense chase scenes as well as endings ever. It also has some of the best elements from every part of Hitchcock in it. Plus it has Marin Landau in his first role! What's not to love about this movie?

7. NETWORK (1971) You've got to get mad! With that all to famous speech we are thrust into the world of Network. Sidney Lumet's best film in a history of amazing films. Network is the story of a small news station that becomes huge after one of its anchor's looses his mind on live television. Network brings us into a dark and gritty world in the '70s age of paranoia. Boasting some of the best-written dialogue in the world, by the great Peddy Cheyefsky no less, Network draws you in and never lets go.

HOW DID IT INFLUENCE ME: In all honesty Network is probably one of the best-written screenplays ever. It is a movie considered way ahead of its time, and that's easy to see. Network did predict the future of network television with its advice talk shows and obsession with reality TV. Network is truly a movie that makes you think and also drives you mad. It is probably one of the most chaotic, anarchaic movies I've ever seen. Sidney Lumet wonderfully handles the movie with a master hand. Now go to your windows and shout I'm Mad as Hell, and I'm Not Going to Take it Anymore!

8. 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY Quite simply one of the most breath taking movies ever made. Many directors have tried but none have brought such a realistic take to the space genre like Stanley Kubrick. When a weird artifact is discovered on the surface of the moon, one man is sent along side other astronaut's on a journey to Jupiter in order to discover its origins. But soon things go awry as the ships intelligence system becomes sentient and begins to fight for it's own survival. Stanley Kubrick takes you on a journey like no one else can ever do.

HOW DID IT INFLUENCE ME: In my opinion, this movie is flawless. Every shot in this movie is perfect. Every scene is breath taking, and every twist and turn is handled master fully. Stanley Kubrick is simply the best there is and this is his masterpiece. A beautiful space opera that brings us on a journey through life, and our crippling mortality. This is probably one of the only movies that I watch and still wonder how they pulled off some special effects. It doesn't get much better than this.

9. 8 1/2 (1963) Federico Fellini's wonderful romp through the life of a screenwriter as he struggles with writer’s block. Fellini may only consider this a 1/2 movie but it is truly one of his best. This movie is a wonderful celebration of life and cinema itself. Beautifully brought to life by Marcello Mastroianni's performance as the writer. Fellini's masterpiece shines among its peers and looks and sounds great thanks to a Criterion Collection HD transfer.

HOW DID IT INFLUENCE ME: 8 1/2 is undeniably a beautiful movie that stands the test of time. Great writing, direction, acting, and cinematography are some of its highlights but Fellini's spirit is what truly makes the movie. This was one of the first foreign films that I had ever seen and it had opened me up into a wonderful world of cinema. This movie was remade by Wes Anderson into The Life Aquatic, which was another great film as well. 8 1/2 stands out as a great moment in filmmaking.

10. EVIL DEAD (1981) The grand daddy of all modern horror films and Sam Raimi's first picture. Evil Dead is a vicious force of a film that helped create a cult genre of films. The movie is about a group of young people who decide to go camping out in the woods only to unleash an unspeakable evil. This film boasts some of the craziest and creepiest moments in horror history. The ever-charming Bruce Campbell and a young energetic Sam Raimi bring the film to life. This film birth a generation of horror fans and set the stage for the now heartless gore films to try and live up to.

HOW DID IT INFLUENCE ME: Honestly, this is the film that made me want to be a filmmaker. It has some of the best shots in horror history and proved that you can make a solid film with a tiny budget. Sam Raimi and crew set out to make a movie at a very young age, and they ended up turning the genre on its head. This is simply the one film that made me realize that I want to do this for the rest of my life. Like the deadites, it is an unforeseeable force that drives you. Well that's it for this week. Hope to see you next time.

P.S. Happy Anniversary Jo. -Ko

Better Late then Never

So another week, another blog.

Well this week is full of excitement. Jo is finally out of school and her graduation is tonight. I'm so proud of her. Also, my brother is graduating which means I will have to deal with him everyday. Anyways, onto the movie review.

This past week I saw Drag Me to Hell. I have been a huge Sam Raimi fan ever since my best friend showed me The Evil Dead in junior high. In fact that movie was the movie that made me want to get into filmmaking. So my last review of Terminator: Salvation was alot of me ranting. This time however, I have absolutely nothing to complain about other than the fact that Raimi's next movie won't come soon enough. I will admit that I was a little iffy about this movie after hearing it's premise and learning that it was PG-13, but I was completely enthralled. Raimi provides his classic style and story telling that was subdued for most of the Spider-Man films. The movie is completely entertaining and fun. It provides true scares as well as hilarious comedy. This film is a beckon back to Raimi's early days of Evil Dead 2 and Darkman, and Sam's still got it. I haven't jumped or been scared in a movie theatre this much for the last 7 or so years. Alison Lohman was great in this movie as well as Justin Long. I think what worked well for this film is that it didn't take itself too seriously. It was one of the few movies I've seen in awhile where I didn't feel like I hadn't gotten my $8 worth out of it. Go see this movie. It's one of the best movies of 2009 as well as one of my favorite films of all time. I truly cannot wait to see what Raimi does for his next project. Whether it be another Spiderman film or another injection of originality that this business so desperately needs. I will be waiting at the front of the line.

Next week I plan to get this blog done on time. But until then I shall retreat to my fortress of solitude or as my friends call it, the room in my parents house. -Ko

Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty

I give this fast food novelity 3 and a half stars. Although it was quite tasty, the toffee sank to the bottom and the coffee part was floating on the top. So it went, coffee ice cream, vanilla ice cream, and a pile of toffee. It's tasty, but I wouldn't want to waste three bucks on it again.
- Jo

What a week

This past week has been excrutiatingly crazy. Although at the close it is starting to look alot better. I myself have finally started writing again. I hope the project ends well.

This week also marks the release of Terminator Salvation. After waiting 10 years for another Terminator, T3 left me more than disappointed. Salvation was a very nice change of pace, but it still left me wanting for more. The story seemed to be focused on the character of Marcus Wright, and I'm still waiting for the character of John Connor to shine. Although Christian Bale did a great job of playing the character, I've always felt that John Connor has been a side character in the films. He wasn't in T1 and in T2 he was a young trouble making teen who was lugged around while Arnie and Sarah Connor did all the work. In T3 he was just a whiny jerk who let Arnie do all the fighting for him while he played lovey dovey and tried to deny that judgement day was coming. Even in the Terminator TV show all John does is sit back and relax while momma and the new Terminator take out the trash. In Salvation he's played second string to Marcus, although in this one he does alot more ass kicking than in the previous portrails. Still, the entire Terminator franchise is based around the survival of John Connor, so you'd think the movie would undoubtedly be about him. I hope the next installments will show me this legendary John Connor that has been talked about for the last 2 decades. I will say that McG did a great job and you can see his passion for the project. And even though I've spent the last paragraph complaining I really did enjoy the film. Even though in the end the movie was still pointless. The first two Terminators had the theme of changing your destiny, and T3 completely destroyed that theme. But I love what Salvation did with what it had.

Well that was my weekly movie review. Honestly, go see the movie. But I would say see Star Trek first cause I found that film more entertaining. Or you can wait until next week to see Sam Raimi's Drag Me To Hell and Pixar's Up, two films I can't wait for.

As for this week's events everything been pretty hectic. I would like to say happy birthday to Gabe Sorrentino, who's birthday was on May 19th. Gabe you are missed and your sister deeply loves you.

Well my fellow compadres, I'm out. Join us next time, same bat-time, same bat-place.

A More Wonderful Proclamation Than The Last

Although this blog is 'supposedly' for short stories and movie reviews and such, I just want to say how positively amazing Kody Riekena is. And I don't lie. This week is one of the hardest times for me, and the fact he can not only put up with my mood swings, but even try and help me is just astonishing. I'm so lucky I have him. He's the most talented, wonderful man any girl can ask for; a dream come true.

A Proclamation of Excrutiating Importantance

Hola Bloggosphere, or as the spaniards says, el Hello. As you can tell by the completely awesome and understandable title written by a stunningly handsome fellow. This is an announcement that my wonderful girlfriend, Josie Rose, and I are going to write a weekly blog about our lives. We are also hoping to write a short story every week. This joining of our two minds is quite possibly the greatest partner ship since Peanut Butter & Jelly, since Abbot & Costello, since Batman and Alligator face, that one happened right. So be prepared true believers for the ride of a virtual lifetime. -Ko
