The 5th Wave (Movie Review)

Release Date: January 22, 2016

Genre: Action

Synopsis: 

The human race stands on the brink of extinction as a series of alien attacks decimate the planet, causing earthquakes, tsunamis and disease. Separated from her family, teenager Cassie Sullivan (Chloë Grace Moretz) will do whatever it takes to reunite with her brother Sam (Zackary Arthur). Fate leads her to form an alliance with Evan Walker (Alex Roe), a young man who may be her last hope. Forced to trust each other, Cassie and Evan fight for survival as the invaders prepare a fifth assault.

First off, what the hell.

If you are going to make a movie, please do it by the book. Not your artistic view of it. I was very upset by the movie and the child next to me. 

Enough with the commentary. If I wanted to watch how the directors made it or even hear about it, I would have watched that version.

I definitely think the book was better than the movie. Why? 

My reasons: 

1. Cassiopeia Sullivan wasn't supposed to be a popular girl. She was the wall flower.

2. Evan Walker wasn't attractive as they made him up to be. Except his body.

3. Ben Parish was supposed to be the ultimate attractive guy. Trust me. There was better in the movie.

4. Cassie looked like she was 12.

5. She wasn't supposed to sing.

At least they got the alien portion right. Somewhat. I laughed really hard at the alien figment that they created. I loved how cliche it looked and I was giggling straight through it. Although, they got the story wrong, I loved the aliens. They were definitely the best part about the movie.  

Go Liev Schreiber. ;) I truly did like your acting for Colonel Vosch.

Chloe Grace Moretz, you run pretty well with a bum leg and everything. You know... Being shot. But I'm sure Alex Roe's kisses do make up for everything. 

Ringer or Maika Monroe is an amazing actress. I love her as the girl power figure. She can give two shites about men and their perverted thoughts.

Anyways. My rating is probably going to be a 2.6 out of 5. I really wish it was better but I am no movie critic. The special effects were off but you know. You only have a small budget to make it post-apocolyptic. 

Blog you later, awesome nerds. 

Cover Reveal: Oblivion - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Lux #1.5)

Release Date: December 1, 2015

Genre: Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Young Adult

Synopsis: Experience the epic love story of OBSIDIAN as told by its hero, Daemon Black…

I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it. 

And trouble’s the last thing I need, since I’m not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet thirteen billion light years away. Plus, if there’s one thing I know, it’s that humans can’t be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. ‘Cuz they are. 

But Kat is getting to me in ways no one else has, and I can't stop myself from wanting her—or wanting to use my powers to protect her. She makes me weak, and I’m the strongest of our kind, tasked with protecting us all. So this one simple girl…she can mean the end for us. Because the Luxen have an even bigger enemy—the Arum, and I need to stay on my game. 

Falling for Katy—a human—won't just place her in danger. It could get us all killed, and that’s one thing I’ll never let happen...

Look at that beautiful cover and that drinkable man. Pepe Toth is just a beautiful man in general and the object of my affection. Especially when I imagine him as I am reading the LUX novels. 

Author's Note: 

Oblivion would've been a massive book, coming in over 1300 pages which made putting the book in print very difficult and not very cost friendly to the readers, but Entangled Teen and I knew that some of you would want Oblivion in print, a copy that you can hold in your hands. 

So Oblivion will be available in print for those who wish to have a physical copy. The print copy will be Obsidian told in Daemon’s POV, and the digital version will include Obsidian POV, plus two bonus books (Onyx and Opal) in Daemon’s POV. 

The Print version will be available at online retailers and is mainly in place for those who want a print copy. You do not have to buy both. If you just want to read the first three books in Daemon's POV, then the digital book is for you. If you do end up purchasing both versions, you’ll be paying roughly $17-$18 combined for what basically is three books, which still is a heck of a steal.

The pre-order links are here at: Jennifer L. Armentrout's Page.

As the date gets closer, I hope to review all of the books and make you fall in love with Daemon because I mean he makes you want to have half-alien babies. 

Also guess what? The move trailer for The 5th Wave - Rick Yancey is out and you can go watch it here: The 5th Wave - Rick Yancy (Movie Trailer).

I know that most books turned into movies aren't so great but I am anticipating this one because the book was amazingly crafted. If you haven't already, go read the book by borrowing it from your local library or just buying it. The movie is to be out January 15, 2016 

Right now, I'm in an #AlienFrenzy.
