The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
I just finished this book and it's been a long time coming. I think my dad got it for me about 3 months ago, and I've been dying to read it. Dan Brown is probably my favorite contemporary mystery thrill writer. I absolutely love his writing style. He keeps his chapters short and each one ends in a cliffhanger that keeps you reading and wanting more.
The Lost Symbol is a continuation of the series involving the character Robert Langdon, a Cambridge professor of symbology. The first two books about Langdon were Angels & Demons and the world famous The DaVinci Code. Both are excellent and I recommend that you read them.
In the Lost Symbol, Langdon is tricked into coming to Washington D.C. were he brought into a world of world of secrets by an ancient symbolic invitation. With the government breathing down his neck and his friend facing imminent death, he is forced into a crazy thrilling journey into conspiracy theories and ancient wisdom.
The book is excellent. The villain is the craziest one yet. A man so smart that he has gone off his rocker just a little bit. There are more puzzles, intrigue, and death than ever before. The twist at the end, no one will see coming. The only problem that I had with the book is that the plot and the mystery ended at around page 450 but the book continued on for another 50-60 pages trying to explain stuff that wasn't relevant to the plot. Up until then, I was completely hooked.

Rating: 4.5★ stars (out of 5)
Recommendation: This book is awesome. I think everyone should read this book and it's predecessors. The only reason the book loses half a star is for the drawn out 50 last pages.
Toy Story 3: First look Scene
I've seen the first two toy stories and they were Pixar perfection. I have no doubt that this third one will be just as ballin for people of all ages. I'm excited. There's going to be dramarama in this one. It appears that this movie is kind of the opposite of the 2nd. In the second Woody gets sold and everyone else tries to save him. In this movie, the other toys are accidently thrown out and Woody has to save them.

Kick-Ass - Hit Girl: Trailer
Holy Shnikees! This trailer is frickin awesome! Maybe it's the fact that a little kid is kicking the shit out of bad guys, or the fact that she is cursing up a storm. I don't know but it get's my blood pumping. Check out this trailer (Warning: It is a mature trailer so youngins shouldn't watch) you will not regret it. I would like to clarify that Hit Girl is just one character in the movie and not the main character, though she might be my favorite because of this trailer.
Hit Girl
Release Date: 16 April 2010
Genre: Action | Comedy
Cast: Nicolas Cage, Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Mark Strong, Lyndsy Fonseca
Director: Matthew Vaughn
Writers: Jane Goldman, Mark Millar
Studio: Lionsgate
Plot:
Dave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who one day decides to become a super-hero, even though he has no powers, training or meaningful reason to do so.
I want to see this movie already. I will definitely see this in theatres. I just showed the trailer to my brother and he says it looks weird. He doesn't want to see it. I guess guys just can't handle a women in charge.

Daybreakers - Scenes
The world has this crazy obsession with Vampires right now. Don't quite get it. I mean I get the Twilight thing cause that's tween love at it's best. Now everything is vampire this, Vampire that. It's almost exhausting. Daybreakers seems like an interesting story. Humans escaping the growing vampire population. I've found a few scenes. There are good and bad things about releasing scenes. The good is that you feel like you get to know characters a little bit better before you see them in theatres. The bad, they don't always portray the movie the best way out of context and when you actually see the movie they can be annoying to re-watch. I recommend that you watch the scenes in order.
The Accident
Birthday Party
Attack!
It's got an interesting plot. It reminds me of the Matrix only with vampires. I liked the Matrix, but I could see this movie becoming extremely corny. They will really need to amp up the action on this. Probably won't see this unless someone else tells me it's awesome. Let me know what you think in the comments.

The Karate Kid - Trailer
So if you haven't heard Will Smith is doing a remake of the Karate Kid and He is using his son Jaden as the main character, Dre Parker, and Jackie Chan as the Mr. Miyagi figure, Mr. Han. I have yet to see anything on this, but I just found the trailer. Should be exciting. Click the link to see the Trailer.
Watch the Trailer
Release Date: 11 June 2010
Genre: Action | Drama
Cast: Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan, Taraji P. Henson
Director: Harald Zwart
Writer: Michael Soccio
Plot:
Work causes a single mother to move to China with her young son; in his new home, the boy embraces kung fu, taught to him by a master.
The remake isn't an exact copy, but I wasn't sure how they were going to do that anyway. It seems like they are taking the most important elements and modernizing them, and making the story cross-cultural. So far what I see I like. Although there was one part in the trailer where Chan's character says the only way to stop them is to face them. I'm pretty sure Mr. Miagi would never have said that. He was the world's ultimate pacifist. The main character seems a little young to me too. I mean, Daniel Larusso was a high school kid, Dre Parker is probably just reaching middle school. I don't know if I will see this in theatres because I don't have an unlimited budget, but I guarantee you that I will see it eventually.

Sex and the City 2: Trailer
So I think that I am going to take this blog in a new direction. So far I have been only reviewing movies, but from here on out I will also be bringing you trailers and letting you know what I think of them, and whether or not I plan on seeing them. I will also hopefully have a book review for you soon, so keep your eyes out for Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. The first trailer review I bring you is Sex and the City 2.
Check it out:
Now I wasn't much of a show fan. Actually I am not and never was a fan of the show. However I did see the 1st movie and was pleasantly surprised by it. Now that I have seen the trailer I am intrigued by the second movie. People who get paid the big bucks to make trailers sure are good at what they do. I think this trailer looks awesome. It's very sleek and hip. It will be interesting to see the girls outside of New York. The whole premise of the show and first movie was finding love IN New York City. I will probably see this movie.
