Safety Not Guaranteed

Okay, I am currently watching "Safety Not Guaranteed" and its amazing. I mean it's pretty freaking awesome. So, I copied and pasted the plot from IMDb and here it is. This is the entire synopsis. It's the entire story and that's it.

"Darius Britt (Aubrey Plaza) is a disillusioned college graduate who lives at home with her widower father (Jeff Garlin) and interns at a Seattle magazine. One of the magazine's writers, Jeff Schwensen (Jake M. Johnson), proposes to investigate a newspaper classified ad that reads: " Wanted: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. I have only done this once before. Safety not guaranteed."

Jeff's story idea is approved by his boss, Bridget (Mary Lynn Rajskub). Jeff selects Darius and Arnau (Karan Soni), a studious Biology major interning at the magazine to diversify his resume, to assist him. They travel to the seaside community of Ocean View, Washington, to find and profile the person behind the ad. Jeff later reveals an ulterior motive for the assignment to track down a long-lost love interest who lives in the beach community. Darius discovers that the person behind the ad is Kenneth Calloway (Mark Duplass) who works as a stock clerk at a local grocery store. Jeff's attempt to contact Kenneth alienates him, so he orders Darius to make contact.

Darius's disaffected attitude serves her well, and she quickly endears herself to Kenneth as she poses as a candidate to accompany him on his mission. While Kenneth is paranoid and believes that "secret agents" are tracking his every move, Darius gains his trust as she participates in a series of training exercises in the woods around his house, and begins to develop feelings for him. She tells Kenneth about the death of her mother when she was young, and that her mission is to prevent it. Kenneth says his mission is to go back to 2001 and prevent the death of his old girlfriend Belinda who was killed when someone drove a car into her house.


Meanwhile, Jeff tracks down Liz (Jenica Bergere), his fling from his teenage years, and though she does not embody his fond youthful memories, they reconnect. He asks her to move to Seattle, but she believes that this is just another fling for Jeff, so she refuses. Upset by her rejection, Jeff takes Arnau out on the town and they pick up some comely young women. Jeff tells Arnau to not waste his youth and convinces him to spend the night with one of the young women.

The next morning, Jeff learns from Bridget, who has been following notes on the story, that Belinda (Kristen Bell) is still alive. Darius goes to interview her. Belinda says that she was only friends with Kenneth, and that Kenneth had driven into her then-boyfriend's house but no one was injured. After the interview, Darius is questioned by two government agents who have been following Kenneth and believe that he may be a spy because of his communications with government scientists.

Darius returns to Kenneth's house to confront him about Belinda. Kenneth claims that if Belinda is alive then his time travelling worked. Jeff then comes in to worn that the government agents are also on the property. Kenneth panics and runs into the woods. Darius follows him, and finds Kenneth and on a boat with his time machine. Darius apologizes for lying to Kenneth and tells him everything else they shared was real. Darius joins him on the boat. Kenneth tells Darius that the mission has changed, saying that now he wants to go back for her. As Jeff, Arnau, and the two government agents watch, Kenneth activates his time machine and the boat disappears."

I think that everyone should watch this movie. Its awesome. There are some amazing actors in it from my favourite tv shows so people should watch it.

Stressing and Studying for Exams

Sorry, for not blogging for a long time. I just had a huge amount of stress and I think that from now on I'm gonna put a schedule on  when I'm going to post a blog. I'm going to post on Thursdays because I don't have any shows to watch on that day.

Any way today the topic is stress for exams and school. I don't know how you study but I study by waiting until the last minute to study. I usually study while listening to music or watching something because I can't do one thing alone I have to do at least two things. Like right now I'm watching a show while I'm blogging this. So, I usually create a study schedule which I barely follow.

Merlin

Merlin is an amazing show and this is just how I'm gonna prove it. First things first I totally ship Merlin and Arthur. They're perfect for each other, right. I mean look at them. Cuties!!!


I always loved science-fiction and I always loved Merlin and Arthur stories but this one just made me feel awesome. I finished the whole show all 5 seasons and re-watched it again. The plot is amazing and the actors are amazing. I'm in love with many British actors and all of them are British. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
Anyway some of the amazing actors are John Hurt as The Dragon, Colin Morgan as Merlin, Bradley James as Arthur, Richard Wilson as Gaius, Angel Coulby as Gwen, Katie McGrath as Morgana, Anthony Head as Uther Pendragon, Rupert Young as Sir Leon and Eoin Macken as Sir Gwaine.
The plot is amazing and I just wanted to add to that. First, Merlin and Arthur are so cute together. Second, I love the magic scenes and I don't mind the dramatic scenes since they're usually very short. Lastly the whole story is very interesting and keeps the audience happy and convinces them to carry on.
Thank god they stopped it at the 5th season because if they carried it on any longer it would probably have gone downhill. The ending of the show was perfection and sad. I cried a lot. The characters surprise you in the end.

The Host and Beautiful Creatures

So, basically I read both the books and watched both the movies. I was so disappointed by the stories. Let's start with first talking about The Host then finishing it off with Beautiful Creatures.

I read The Host and it was quite a slow story a bit too long it could've been shortened in the beginning however I didn't stop reading the book I carried on reading even though I began to get discouraged and annoyed. It took me a long time to finish it, about a week or so. The movie seemed better though. It had Saiorse Ronan and that was all it took to get me excited about it. I love all Saiorse's movies and this story seemed to have the potential of being a good movie. When I watched I was so disappointed I wanted to cry from how bad it was. Another thing is the difference between the movie and the book. Some characters were completely missed out and important scenes were completely demolished.

I read Beautiful Creatures not long ago and the story was amazingly perfect. Then I watched the movie. I just couldn't take it no longer one of the most important characters was merged into another important character. Most of the story was changed for example the main characters birthday is changed. The main character breaks windows in a scene in the book and she's the only person who gets hurt but in the movie lots of people get hurt except her. She writes on the walls in sharpie but in the movie she makes it appear on the walls magically and no one can see it unless she shows them. In the books when the main character and her boyfriend kiss the guy has small heart attacks and electric shocks but in the movie there's no reaction. A character is an Incubus in the book but in the movie the person is a wizard. Bad characters are supposed to have gold eyes and good characters are supposed to have green in the book but of course in the movie nothing happens and the bad characters only have gold eyes when they want to. The characters look different. The order of the story is changed. Only the women of the family are claimed to the light or dark but in the movie it's only the females.

And with that I conclude this post by saying movie versions of books are usually worse than the book so read the book people then look at my blog to decide whether or not to watch the movie. This is my opinion on these two books and movies.
