Review: Fire & Ice

Actually, it's been a while since I finished reading this. Been putting it off or just forgetting to do this. I'm on book four now! So yeah, gotta do book three later.

Little bit of spoilers.

The main character's finally become a warrior and is given his new name; Fireheart. This one was just as interesting and good as the first. And we find out that Fireheart has kin. Princess is one of his sister's from his 'kittyped' kit days.

Through out the book once it gets started Fireheart finds out that his best friend Graystripe has a girlfriend. The same she-cat whom saved the gray cat from drowning in the river.

Hitch.

She's RiverClan.

I love how the story eventurally unfolds but I'll leave you to find out the rest of it.

Quiz - The True Fan

Your result for The Fan Fiction Personality Test...

The True Fan

OOC is blasphemy, canon is everything.

Once you fall in love with a movie, book or TV series, you are loyal like an old dog. You take fanfiction quite serious and use it as a substitute after the canon ran out.

You are probably a walking dictionary of your favourite fandom and you are picky about what you write and read. The closer to the "real thing" fanfiction is, the more you like it.

You rather explore a character in all depth, see new sides and learn more about them than creating new characters or mix up the situations they are in.

MR Movie

I've been looking to see if I can find anymore info. regarding the new Maximum Ride movie. Other than the date that seems to remain consistent for this year, I haven't gotten much. Even searched on James Patterson's official website and could find squat that wasn't at least close the end of 2009.

The only thing I could find was the potential movie name; Night Flight. Here's the original source on JP's forum courteious of Jessica.

Other info. from various sources (all telling me the same thing):

Director: Catherine Hardwiche who's directed Twilight, Lords of Dogtown, & Thirteen.

Lords of Dogtown I don't think I heard about maybe more than twice so can't give you anything there that Google or Yahoo (or any other search engine) couldn't tell you. Thirteen; got nothing. But, OMG! Twilight?! Someone help me! No. Really. If this turns into another 'Twilight' I'll take my books back I have of the Maximum Ride series. Okay, the Twilight was at least a 'borrow from a friend' but, just, god.

Producer(s): Avi Arad (a whole shit load of stuff, that's all I'm telling you) & Steven Paul

Executive Producer: James Patterson

Screenwriter: Don Payne

Moviefone source

I'll be keeping a look out for upcoming info. but, that's all I got. . .

For now ;)

My Country



You're Egypt!

Curator of ancient mystical secrets, your life on the surface is fairly
typical these days. Though you are in denial about more things than most people.
Nevertheless, you're trying to convince people that you're safe despite your more
volatile and unstable times that seem to be behind you. You like cats a whole lot.
You'd probably really appreciate The Blue
Pyramid.

Shameless Fanservicing

Okay, I won't be the last to admit, I'd probably be the first to raise my hand, that I like planes and I like anime.

Anyway, recently this anime called Strike Witches by Funamation caught my attention. Actually the first time I saw it in Newtype USA before they stopped issuing them out, and being that I like jet's and anime I caught my attention. It's actually a cool idea but. . .kinda stupid.

I've grown use to how pure illogical some anime can be. Strike Wtiches is one of them that takes the cake. . .and the trophy and your silverwear.

From watching the trailer on the site it's basically the Navy/Airforce take a new route on how to destroy alien invaders. Okay I can see that, but I haven't finished yet. They use cute young looking girls (don't they always), put plane parts on their legs and take away their pants leaving them with nothing but their swimming-suite-looking bottom's.

Now tell me, doesn't that sound like the stupidest shit ever? Because it is. But hell, I'd probably buy the figures if they had a resonable price tag on them.

Mind you, the idea all together is stupid (why would the military use girls with plane parts on their legs (and no pants) to fight alien invaders?)

I'm still going to see if I can find it somewhere on the net and watch.

Don't get me wrong, I know better not to judge a book (or is this case anime) by is cover, so I need to watch. But still. It's sounds so stupid it makes me laugh.

Oh and I almost forgot; they have animal ears and tails. . .wth? How pointless is that?!
