Movie Review: The Thing

By Valerie Atherton Posted in movie reviews | 2 Comments »

Some horror movies make you go, “OMG, that was so scary, I had to watch it with my eyes closed. I am so gonna have bad dreams, tonight!” while other horror movies make you go, “The killer just killed that naked girl with a giant maxchete! Does the human body really have that much blood?” Now, another type of horror movie has come out that will make you go, “That was super scary! Wait, I don’t understand what happened.” That movie is The Thing.

Movie Review: Green Lantern

By Valerie Atherton Posted in movie reviews | 3 Comments »

The color green can mean a lot of things in movies. Sometimes green is meant to be money, sometimes green is meant as clean energy like solar-powered windmills or cars that create electricity, but other times the word ‘green’ means drugs (i.e. pot, weeds, marijuana, lcd, etc.)

Some people say drugs should be legal, while other people say drugs are bad and should remain illegal like some people from Mexico. Personally, I have never smoked or drank drugs or even cooked with them, but some people who do are really brave and very open about their addiction. One such person is Seth Rogen.

A Comic Strip I Did

By Valerie Atherton Posted in thoughts about whatever | No Comments »

 

This is my first attempt* at a comic strip with superheroes. I thought it would be more interesting to show them as real people with real problems, instead of superpeople with superpeople problems. This stars Hulk and Captain American, a new character coming out this summer. Feel free to print it out and hang it in your room or give it as a gift to a relative you forgot to buy a bday present for.



*I did another comic before, but it didn’t really have a storyline, so I didn’t post it.

Movie Review: Thor

By Valerie Atherton Posted in movie reviews | 4 Comments »

Whether you are a Christian, Muslamic person (they’re the ones on the news with beards like hippies used to wear) or even Antagonist, I think we can agree that it’s pretty much a given that Jesus is going to come back someday. When he does, he’ll give all of the good people mansions in heaven, but bring some serious hurt to all the bad, evil and superbad people of the world.  But, I’m sure some bad people are saying, “Oh, big deal. He doesn’t scare me. I’ve seen photos of him and he’s not that tough.”

Movie Review: Tron Legacy

By Valerie Atherton Posted in movie reviews | 1 Comment »

The Internet has it’s share of good things going for it: there’s email, funny videos, movies and even movie reviewer writers. ;)   There are bad things on the flipped side, too: people having naked sex, certain people in certain movie forums are jerks (Orchid4Jay, WlvrneBA), men my dad’s age who go on Facebook and pretend to be someone younger and then try to get together with their new Facebook friends who quickly find out that, ‘Ew, this guy is totally old. Gross.’ In this day and age when everyone that goes online knows about the Internet, someone was abound to make a movie about it.

 

Garret Hedlund decided to be that person and made the movie Tron Legacy. I see a lot of movies and I have to say that this is, like, the most original movie I have ever seen next to Transformers.
