Movies, books

Movies...where to start? I love movies. Watching, quoting, rewatching and gushing over whose in it and what it was about. My sister and I could spend the whole day quoting from movies and the whole night watching them. I don't know why people think watching movies all day would be boring. Watching movies all day is like being engulfed in another world. Its relaxing and each movies brings out a different emotion. Some movies can bring you to a whole different world. 

Although books are another type of gateway into a world of imagination. Its great to see actors and actresses become these different characters. I love to read and let my mind go wild too, don't get me wrong, but it can go both ways. By reading books I can picture a movie in my head and by watching movies I want to read the books (if its based on a book) to see what was left out and to see what I would come up with if I watched it. 

I used to read a lot more but because of school I didn't have a whole lot of time, too busy reading the required reading. Finally in college I found I had more time on my hands, so I actually picked up the Twilight series and started reading it. My sister had read it and was pushing it on me so I finally gave in. I got sooo into it. I read the first book in a day and went out the next day to buy the second book. I was done with it in a week and still kind of hooked on it. We went on vacation within the next month and I was going to bring a new book but I just couldn't start another book. I was still hooked on Twilight so I went to the store in the airport and bought the first one to read while on vacation. 

I know, how did this become all about Twilight? Well when it comes to movies and books, my mind goes straight to it. I watched Twilight like a month after it was released into theaters and my first thought was "What the hell kind of movie is this and why does everyone like it?" I thought it was the strangest thing I ever saw. My sister and I could tell that there was stuff missing and with everyone talking about the series, we decided to see what it was about. Needless to say, we both got hooked. 

I could easily talk about the Twilight series more but I think its enough for now. I'm sure there is more to come.
