Adaptations

Hmmm where did I leave off??? I don't remember.
I guess I've watched some movies? Maybe? Yes.

Spirited Away
Sleeping Beauty
Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes Game of Shadows


Today we will be discussing Movie #18, one of the greatest Shakespearian adaptations of the modern age, 

She's the Man

 



Genres: Amanda Bynes, Based off Book, Makeover Montage

This movie retells the enduring classic, Twelfth Night with a modern twist! Viola and Sebastian have a 100% crazy mother who seems to spend all her time at home obsessing about her daughter becoming a lady
 
Viola's girl's soccer team gets cut, so she decides that while her musical bro Sebastian is touring in London, she'll take his place at Illyria High School, posing as a young lad. Her roommate is the super hot Channing Tatum, who spends most of his time with his shirt off? Or maybe I just imagine that he does. Hard to say.
He is a hunky, classy dude in this film,

very classy

Oh, I don't know, I love this movie. It's one big awkward laugh-fest with some soccer thrown in.
Highlights:
It's so amazing and so ridiculous
It's one big ball of awkward
All the super wonky characters
 So many quotable moments. So many.
Horatio Gold, Headmaster





Lowlights:
Viola's hair in the final game HOW COULD SHE NOT FIND A HAIR TIE.
Ummm oh, I don't know. Sebastian himself was sort of lame



CHEW LIKE YOU HAVE A SECRET.

GOUDA



ENCOUNTERING A SPIDER


My little sister's favorite part of the film:





So, in conclusion, this movie is horrible and amazing and sort of tries to teach the youth of today that girls and boys are equal and that everyone has feelings.



Eunice. Eunice is a national treasure.



And finally,

There is something off about it. I mean, this movie is ok. Also, why is Amanda Bynes a genre? Mysterious. I sort of zoned out while watching this and read webcomics instead.

Magic Carpet

As it turns out, in Andria, three witches control the magical shenanigans that always seem to be happening. Is it super weird to have them travel by magic carpet? Brooms just seem ridiculously inconvenient, not to mention uncomfortable, and really not practical for traveling long distances. I mean, not like a magic carpet's super practical either.

Three Witches

Let's be real; I'm not good at blogging. Still, I decided to put up an update for the world to enjoy! The cover for Andrian Adventures is in the works, and I've now finished one whole chapter of Part Two, which probably gets me a huge celebration, and maybe a trip to Lion's Tap. This means that I now have one chapter and two half chapters completed, which is exciting stuff, you know, considering that I've been "working" on Part Two since... June. Also, I was at the library today (when am I not at the library?) and re-discovered all of my teenage-hood author crushes. Notably Patricia C. Wrede, who I'm still willing to fan stalk around the Twin Cities until we can become best friends. Disclaimer-- I've never creepily stalked her... well, only online, which doesn't count. Right? Right. It's fun getting back into YA fantasy... I think during college and after I graduated I decided that I wanted to read Big Kid Books so I've mostly been
