Dead End in Norvelt

Ok so, I read this book a couple weeks ago and frankly, forgt to write about it.
 This book is autobiography about a boy named Jack, who is obsessed with Japanese weapons that his dad stored from his old war days. When Jack plays around with one of the rifles, he accidentally fires it and shoots it through the neighbors window, not knowing it was loaded. This results in him getting grounded and he goes to work for said neighbor, Miss. Volker. She works on writing obituaries, and cannot due too her hands, and Jack writes it for her. Later in the summer it turns mysterious when a certain someone starts to poison what Volker calls "the Original Norvelters". Along they way Jack learns more about town history, American history, his neighbors, and life in general.
         This was written by Jack Gantos, and took place in Norvelt, Pennsylvania. I believe in 1962.
 It was also an autobiography as before mentioned, of the life of Jack Gantos,
This book was awesome, it really was. I usually don't like non-fiction books, but this book made it in a way that was funny, and enjoyable, all while seeming real. The extra bits he added fitted well with the story, even if it lasted for a few moments. I'd recommend anyone to read this! This I probably one of the best non-series books I've ever read!

Pompeii

I recently watched the movie Pompeii; and some of my most common thoughts were "Man this is boring." it was really confusing to follow, and it bounced around A-LOT. The dialogue was kinda iffy, and so was the plot. It was kind of cliche too. Yknow the " poor guy impresses the rich girl and the girl loves him" stuff. It was a okay movie though. The cinematography was pretty good, and the acting was great! I enjoyed the Gladiator fighting stuff, and I enjoyed the action.
Overall though it was a less than decent movie, and it it didn't reach my expectations. To be honest the trailers looked a lot better than the actual movie.
The tragic history of Pompeii deserved a better movie.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

So, this is the first X-men movie I have ever seen. Ever. Alot of people have been saying that all of the X-Men movies are amazing, even though they aren't big fans of the X-men, proffering Marvel or DC. Frankly I have to say, I totally agree! It was awesome how they mixed in history with the movie, and did it quite well! SPOILERS: Wolverine traveled back to 1973(?) to keep Mystique from killing an evil mastermind that is trying to research and duplicate mutants. Usually his research ends up killing them.  The chain reaction of Mystique killing him leads to the government capturing her, experimenting on her, taking and copying Mystique's cell structure, that they will use to create robots that counter any mutants power, adapt to every surrounding, and absorb their powers. This all leads to mass destruction of mutants, and almost all of the human race. What is left of them is controlled by an evil and cruel power.
  I thought this movie was AWESOME. The acting was great, the plot and storyline was also pretty cool. There was not really any questions to be asked about what happened if you pay attention to the movie.  When Wolverine traveled back in time to meet Xavier, ( the professor) and it shows how much the professor had changed was almost....weird. How much he had changed. He'd always been somewhat knowledgable, but not always wise or nessicarily strong.
I went to see this Monday, so I'm probably forgetting some stuff. But what I do remember is that this was a great movie, and everyone should go see it!
