Prince of Persia Review
*SPOILER FREE*
So my expectations for this film was basically a lesser version of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl with no epic Johnny Depp-like performance and for the most part the film managed to meet those low expectations.
That being said, the movie is not all that good. It has a lot of problems but as a piece of entertainment, you could do a lot worse with 2 hours of...

Day 509: “You make time for what is important to you.”
No doubt in my mind as I left my History final that I got an A in the class. He gave us our midterms and research papers back and I got a 71/80 and 58/60. On my paper he put “a nearly flawless paper, take a bow Aldrin”. Plus I did extra credit (which is starting to seem a little pointless right now) which was an extra 12 points, which covers the 11 I lost through the midterm and paper....
“There is a scene in the 2006 James Bond movie, “Casino Royale,” where Daniel Craig is tied, nude, to a chair, and his testicles are repeatedly flogged. That looks like a whole lot more fun than “Sex and the City 2.””
LMFAO

HAHA so there is controversy on how prince of...

I find it odd how people are bringing it up now when this shit is more than a year old. I hear there’s a very good reason for why he’s white in the film, so I’m going to reserve judgment until I see the movie. Either way it still sucks that they had to put Jake Gyllenhaal as the lead.
All of Game’s new shit is wack as fuck. Dude used to have impeccable beat selection, but it’s like somebody jammed a Q-tip too far into his ears. Either that or Pharrell is trying to ruin Game’s new album because of all the shots Game took at him on Doctor’s Advocate. I highly doubt lines like “turn that BAPE hoody into motherfuckin’ confetti”, “We...
*Picking up my Anthro final and grade*
Teacher: So you got a 76% on the last test and an A overall in the class. Me: All right, nice. Teacher: So you’re a pretty good student, huh? Me: *thinking in head* “Well I got an A in the class, what do you think?” Me: *out loud* Uh… yeah.
LOL
The quest for back to back straight A report cards is almost complete. Two more finals to go (Physio and History), need to score pretty well to maintain the A’s that I already have in both classes. Pretty sure I locked up A’s in my other three classes, but we’re in the final stretch here people. Two more days…
I don’t think I ever realized just how often I had to push up my old glasses when they slid down my nose. I would always do the nose shift thing or push ‘em up with my thumb. I remember one time I wasn’t wearing my glasses because I was sleeping but I was still awake and I instinctively went to push my glasses up even though I wasn’t wearing any hahahaha. With these new...
You know you played too much MW2 when you start dreaming about actually being in the game hahahaha. Although my dream had this bad ass grenade launcher turret, that would be pretty sweet in the actual game… if not extremely cheap.
Oh mannnnnn just got my hands on an instrumental version of B.o.B’s “Airplanes”! I really want to start writing to it but I know that I’ve got to study. Soon enough… soon enough…
The Killer Inside Me
Super excited for this flick! Although Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba makes the film seem a bit suspect considering Kate Hudson’s only great performance was in Almost Famous (directed by the one and only Cameron Crowe) and Jessica Alba’s only decent performance was in Sin City where she was mostly just eye candy. Either way still excited for this film because Casey Affleck is FINALLY...
As soon as finals are done I’m having an all day movie marathon… the Ocean’s series, Harry Potter, Arnold Schwarzenegger action films, indie rom-coms, and any other marathons I can come up with.
You see It’s the cover ups and lies that get to me And you know what’s really sick to me? Whoever’s on the side that gets the victory Has the benefit to rewrite their own history Free masons rule the world? More like the Stonecutters The richest livin’ comfy, those on our own suffer How is it that the richest 300 on Earth Have more money than the other 7 billion’s...
“You thought we could be decent men! At an indecent time!”
I guess I just want things to go back to how it used to be Happier times, back when it was just you and me Cause when I meet new girls all I see is that it isn’t you And when I listen to all the music we used to listen to All of those love songs, all of ‘em make me think of you And it makes every vulnerability of mine visible I guess that’s how it goes, with love comes pain...
My Mom was arguing with my Dad about something when I brought the laundry in and my Mom then went off on me for messing up her uniform. As I walked out my Dad gives me a thumbs up for getting her off his back LOL.
Gunning for my second consecutive semester of straight A’s, studying like hell
I can’t believe they don’t have the clip on youtube, I just have to say that there’s this one absolutely brilliant long tracking shot in the film Atonement where they’re on a beach. It’s astonishing how far they go and how much is actually in that one take, magnificent…
Made a decision on new glasses today! Supposed to be a one hour pick up but their machine was broken? Whaaa? Anyways, I can pick ‘em up in 24 hours. Was gonna go with bold but I didn’t like the way they looked on face so I picked a black wire frame which looked pretty nice and clean. Can’t wait!
Checklist
- Anthropology Final tomorrow - Astronomy homework due tomorrow - Physio Final on 5/26 - Astronomy take home test due 5/27 - History Final on 5/27
On the plus side I’m done with Speech… on the downside so much more ****ing stuff to do
