Week Four: The New Weird

   

      This movie was not what I expected it to be at all. At first just by the name and the cover of the movie I thought It was for sure just going to be like ever teen horror movie. It indeed up being really funny (to me) and kinda played off on the cliche themes of a "teen horror" movie and all horror movies. I did get bored at times and I have to say there wasn't much of a real plot to the movie it was all just really silly to me. I didn't really start getting interested in the movie till the end, when all of the monsters were let loos to reek havoc! And lets just take a moment to talk about that unicorn, hands down my favorite part of the whole movie. That teen seconds of an evil unicorn made the movie for me.
   
      I did enjoy the ending of the movie as well it wasn't a "happy" ending. The hole plot of the movie however was a little stale for me, and the hole movie seemed like a rushed mishmash. As if the creators HAD to fit every little cliche of ever horror movie ever made into one movie weather it made sense or not. Over all the movie was alright, but I just cant get over that unicorn everyone should watch it just for that unicorn.

King Rat

Yet again another great novel, I love how your not really sure about what exactly the characters really are. There seems to be no true set of rules that any of the characters traits seem to follow, it keeps you on your toes that's for sure. Because of this lack of traditional guidelines with in the shaping of the characters I never got bored of reading. The story line however seemed to stay on a more traditional guideline of are "hero" not wanting to accept there true calling, king of the rats! These two points together almost made the novel easier to read and understand. It helped as well to make the weird nature of the characters to not seem so weird? Great read!
