Writing Cures the Mind

     So it always seems like a little good writing clears the mind, especially when things are getting stressful. This is a cheerful time of year, but also when things get tight financially and everything is hectic. There are some good films out there which is nice, but there are also some bad ones too. Tomorrow marks the release of The Rise of The Planet of the Apes on DVD. I have been interested in seeing it because of reviews and it seemed to contrast prior films. The new Sherlock Holmes film comes out this weekend and I am really excited about that one. Robert Downey Jr was originally supposed to play the role that Daniel Craig played in Cowboys and Aliens so he could be reunited with his Iron Man director, Jon Favreau. However, he ended up dropping out to focus on Sherlock Holmes because it was placed on the fast track after the success of the first one. Film as you can see is a very interesting topic because things are constantly changing and it makes it interesting to watch and follow.
     Now on to TV. Tonight marked the return of Fear Factor, and it did not disappoint. It was great to have it back on TV. The stunts were crazy, and the pairings we're also interesting. The first episode were family pairings, while in the second episode, it was pairings of exes. That was funny to watch, but also uncomfortable at points. One couple even talked a reconciliation and marriage. So based on this tidbit of information it was easy to say that it was a great comeback.
   
Here are a few poems I wrote, one is old, one is a response to the old one, and the other one I wrote recently:


Love-
Love is a feeling I've never experienced, but have always desired.
Sometimes I put too much pressure on myself to find the one while other times I think I know the one.
It sucks to see the one you want in her own love, but maybe its just not meant to be.
No one really knows exactly what love is, but everyone can explain those same feelings:
Jitters before every date, willing to drop everything for them, and do anything in reach to see them smile.
It's great to see love.
And one day my day will come.
Drop the pressure, it only hurts.
There is no deadline to find it.
It's happens when it happens.
I only wish that after so long, I have the look in my eye for my love that I see in my parents eyes for each other.
Love is word that may be hard to say, but easy to feel.
Let someone in and you'll be walking on water.
Love has everything to do with everything.

Love In Perspective- Dedicated to Ashley
Love is a feeling I finally know.
It is a feeling I love to show.
I see the look in her eyes,
as my parents see in each others eyes.
Now the challenge is the time,
because time will tell.
Is love forever?
I believe it should be.
I love you, I love you.
Always know that.
Love in perspective.

String of Thoughts-
Rain is a good thing,
Rain is a sad thing,
While things go up, they will eventually come down,
Life is built this way
Persevere with love and all will prevail.
Look for honesty because it can be hard to find,
sometime its in front of you, but its not sincere,
While other times it is all you see.
Show me a way and let me see.
Because that is how it should be.

Well I hope you enjoyed, good night and good luck.

Remakes

So today's post comes a lot out of anger for film remakes. In some cases, such The Longest Yard, they work, but in other cases, such as Psycho. In some cases, I like the reboot of films like Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise. However, day after day I am reading stories about how a new film, especially from the 80s is being remade. The newest film I heard talk of a remake is the 80s cult classic remake of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead films. I am so disappointed of the news of this because these films were made famous for using unique effects and poor and cheesy acting from lead actor Bruce Campbell. TV series have also made attempts at remakes of TV shows that were classics of the past. Hawaii-Five-O has had success since its relaunch while Charlies Angels last a few shows. A show that is being remade now is The Munsters. Again I find myself extremely disappointed. That show was a classic. When will executives learn that certain films and shows should be left untouched. Has Hollywood run out of a good story? It would seem that way. Times are changing, so let the stories change with it, but please no more middle eastern and war based films because they have run their course in the last decade. Kathryn Bigelow, director of The Hurt Locker, was actually in the process of writing an Osama bin Laden film where Navy Seals hunted down the terrorist king, but failed. However, since the capture and killing of bin Laden, she re-wrote the script to have the ending fit to match reality. In my opinion this is an original story, and was pleased to hear about it. It made me happier to know that she re-wrote the ending to match reality. This is where I hope the trend will begin. Let's get away from remaking classics and ruining them. Others may feel different, but its like the old saying, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's my rant for the day. So goodnight and good luck.
