Inception: Was It Really That Good?

Inception: Was It Really That Good?




The simple answer is yes! It was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. I saw it awhile ago and only recently has the idea of writing something down about it popped into this little teenage head of mine. The movie dragged you right into the head and mind of the main character Cobb (Leonardo Dicaprio). Presenting this so well leaves the watcher challenging his perception on things never before thought about in original life. Take a movie like Fight club, We are taken directly into the mind of Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) which is then an extrapolation of the mind of the narrator (Edward Norton). It is these kinds of movies in which we are shown "the light" in a different way and it's these movies I can't get enough of!


The special effects astounded me. Ranging from the mass decay of buildings being beaten by waves to the anti-gravity fight scenes that found characters leaping from roof to ground while fighting an array of projections. This complemented the storyline beautifully making every fight worth the while. I respected the fact that they didn't over use special effects to the point it detracted from the storyline, it just gave a kick to the already enthralling plot that was growing over time. For the overall use of special effects I'm going to give it a 4/5 thumbs up.


In a nutshell the movie is a must see! I know some people found the movie a bit hard to follow as it did have a relatively hard to follow plot but if you're a quick thinker and can hack the pace of movies that throw your mind into a blender. Then this movie is for you. I left the theatre in complete awe as to what had just happened. So if you're craving a bit of mind fuck. Inception should be on your list.

Cya guys. Keep dreaming

P.S chuck a comment my way, and get to following if you want more goodness from me. You know you want to, so it's over in the bar to the right. O and hope you liked this short in a nutshell movie review as I couldn't think of any other blog post topic at the moment. Cya round!

Trumpet Graduation

Trumpet Graduation


Since I have no actual post and no idea of what to write about so I thought I'd give you guys an update on where am I with my trumpet playing. I'm doing great, getting those high notes and soon (hopefully this Wednesday) I'm going to graduate from the first book that I've been assigned to! So pretty stoked about that, I end my spiel about my trumpet playing. In commemoration. Awesome trumpet performances.



The last few seconds of this has some amazing high notes that make a lot of people playing them pass out. IF they could play them at all



This one is long but I just like it as a piece in general. I'm getting more into jazz these days. Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Parker, Miles Davis. All those guys had there stuff down aye.'

Enjoy those two, I picked them especially. So yes I don't actually have too much to say atm. Trying to fit so many things into life. Writing, trying to learn photoshopping, music, homework and other assortments of various things. Life is packed at the moment! So I'll keep it short.

Cya round guys, hope I didn't bore you... Too much :D

Friday The 13th

Friday The 13th

I would love to do another Lindsay Lohan Grill (another for the road). But hey the stupid woman is in rehab being forced to better herself so lets not get too mean. We all know she'll end up back in jail in no time, it's less a matter of why she'll be in jail but when.

Freaky Friday
Freaky Friday
So something I thought I'd show you guys is this little thing I put together on photoshop. PRETTY COLOURS!


That's original composition Sam right there, you can find the coolest things on flickr just by looking around.

Something I'd like to point out is a youtube band I've discovered recently. They have some all right music and I think they should be more known around the place so go check out the band "ALL CAPS" on youtube. Yes it's a punny band name but hey there music is catchy.



So I've been swamped with music compositions and other stressing tasks like copious amounts of under water hockey training. We're going for the best in New Zealand so we've gotta be good at what we do. I'm going out tonight so I'm quite busy getting stuff planned. Teenage planning and all that jazz. So I'm going to bid you all farewell and a happy weekend.

Cya peeps, PEACE OUT!

Squidoo Payment Recieved

Squidoo Payment Recieved



Now people this isn't the typical way you earn from squidoo. Yet it is one of the many ways you can. I have sold one of my lenses off the cusp to see if it will draw any attention and actually sell. Well good news! It actually sold after the second day and for $15. I was flabbergasted to see the money actually sitting in my paypal. Only good things can come from squidoo in the future so get over there! Now!

Squidoo


This is only a short post to update the win that just happened! I'm totally amazed and happy and hope that you all too can earn like I did. In under a month as an FYI!
