Holiday and Other Stuff

Hey everyone,
I haven`t updated this blog in almost a month, so yeah, a lot to cover today.
So, first of all, the first part of my holiday. I went to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. That was amazing, it didn`t get dark until midnight, and then it got light at 4:00 AM. I was also at a wedding, my dads friend was getting married. It was by a lake (one of the many in Yellowknife) and it was awesome. We then flew to Calgary with my dads friends` son. We toured around Alberta, went to Banff. That was beautiful. In that part of Alberta all the water is blue. This is because of something called Rock Powder. Its this really fine powder that shows waters` true colour. We went Jasper, Lake Louise, we went on a glacier and tons of other stuff, it was awesome. Anyway, after touring around a bit, we ended up in Edmonton, where we met up with the couple that got married. They took their son and went back to Yellowknife, we came back to Toronto. My mom is still in Scotland, so me and my brother are here at my dads house, we`ve been here for around five or six days, and we`ve got five or six more days left. We pick our mom up at the Airport, then the next day we pick up our dog from the kennels. But we still got some stuff planned for here in Toronto, so its gonna be fun.



So, its Augast 9th, I go back to school on the 9th of September. One month, and I can`t wait to get back. I love the summer, but I`m just really looking forward to get back. Its gonna be my second year at SAC. I just ordered my books, so here is a list of those books.

Science- two books
Language Arts- five books
Math- one book
History- no book
French- verb wheel
Geography- no book
Music- no book (we`re using our old books)
Art- no book
Gym- no book

I am looking forward to get back to my two favorite classes, Music and Language. There is actually only four books in Language, then we are reading a play.
Those books are

The Hunger Games (which I have read)
The Alchemist
The Curious Case of The Dog in The Night Time
Twelfth Night (this is the play, its by Shakespeare)
The Perks of Being A Wallflower

Yeah, I`ve read one of them, The Hunger Games. And it is because of me that that book is there, the teacher last asked if anyone had read itm because she wanted to add it to the list, I was the only one who read it, so I told her about it and now we have to read it.


So now I`m gonna talk about three movies I`ve seen lately that are awesome.

Kick-Ass
Sin City
Inception

First, Kick-Ass. I saw this in Edmonton and then again last night. I love this movie, the first time I saw it, I liked it because it awesome and hilarious. When I saw it last night, I realised how good a movie it actually was. It was probably the best super-hero movie I`ve ever seen. And the way its shot is really cool, especially in one scene near the end. Hit-Girl is killing everyone in the warehoue where they are about to kill Kick-Ass and Big Daddy. The way its shot is just beautiful.
For those who haven`t seen it, here is the basic plot.

A nerdy teenager named Dave is wondering no one has ever tried to be a super-hero.
He orders a costume online and tries to fight crime, on his first attempt, he is stabbed and hit by a car. He has many surgeries and is ok. He starts training to become stronger so he can try again. He is almost killed when Hit-Girl arrives and kills everyone, she then leaves with her dad (Big Daddy). The bad-guys` son becomes a super-hero so he can set Kick-Ass up for a trap, but he fails. Evntually he is able to kidnap Kick-Ass and Big Daddy. They make a live video of Kick-Ass and Big Daddy being beat up and eventually Big Daddy is killed. Hit-Girl saves Kick-Ass and they kill the bad guy.
Their is a sequel coming out, but they aren`t going to start making it until the comic for the second one comes out.

Sin City
Sin City is a series of seven comics, the movie is three of those comics. The comics that are in the movie are called

The Hard Goodbye
The Big Fat Kill
That Yellow Bastard

This movie is shot completely in black and white but they throw in red, yellow and blue. So it looks really cool.

The Hard Goodbye is about a man named Marv, he has a one night stand with a girl named Goldie, he wakes and finds out that she is dead, and he is framed for her murder. He escapes from the police and searches all around town trying to find out who killed Goldie.
That is the very, very basic plot of that one, just it would take a while to explain it all.

The Big Fat Kill is about a gril named Shellie, she is in her apartment and she locked Jacky Boy and his friends out. They are trying to get in, a man named Dwight comes out from her bedroom and tells her to let him in. Dwight hides in the shower, Shellie lets Jacky Boy in, he goes to the washroom, Dwight beats him. Jacky Boy goes to Old Town, which is a part of the city run by prostitutes, he pulles a gun on one of them, but then is killed by another woman.
They find out he is a cop and that the treaty with the girls and the police is broken, so they have to get rid of the body. But Jacky Boys` head is stolen, and Dwight has to get it back.

That Yellow Bastard is about a police officer who is about to retire. His name is John Hartigan, he is one his last case, looking for Rourke Jr. who is a child molestor and killer. Hartigan almosts kills Rourke Jr. but is shot by his partner. In the hospital, Rourke Sr. tells Hartigan that he is going to jail for all Rourke Jr.`s crimes. The girl Hartigan saved, Nancy, says she will write to him every week. For eight years she writes to him once a week, then stops. Hartigan wakes up one day with an envelope with a finger in it, and a yellow man is in his cell. He gets knocked out by the yellow man. He is let out of jail and goes looking for Nancy who is now 19. He finds her working in a bar. And the Yellow Man is there, Hartigan realises he led them to Nancy. He leaves with Nancy and is chased by the Yellow Man. Hartigan shoots him but can`t find his body afterwards. The Yellow Man eventually sneaks up on them and hangs Hartigan and kidnaps Nancy. Hartigan is able to escape and chases them. Ke kills The Yellow Man who is revealed to be Rourke Jr. after many surgeries. He then leaves Nancy and is talking to himself and says that they will get to Nancy as long as he is alive, he then kills himself.

It was awesome, but that is all I can say right now, so I will talk about inception in my next post.
