Film Fest Friday - Falling

For today, we feature short film "Falling" as part of Film Fest Friday! This is a random, but amusing film about two friends who find a magic wand while out on a hike. The results are, well, interesting.

Okay, that wraps up this week's film.

On a side note, I'll be at Disneyland all day tomorrow, my first official day as a cast member. Keep an eye out for any kind of reports or trip pics that may follow.

Summer PhotoBlog!

Dang, it's been a really long time since I've done one of these. Too long, in fact. I'd better get started right away.


Here's a quick shot I took at Downtown Disney with my new polarizing filter.

These flowers were really hard to edit.


These next few were shot on a college retreat.


Why does this picture make me think of The Lion King?


Random water pipe shot.


Now for a few photographs from an overcast afternoon at the beach.


This shot of the lifeguard station didn't turn out as well as I thought, but it's not terrible.


Finally, a sunset shot of a lonely set of power lines, strung off into the distance.

Wow, it's been a really long time. I need to start doing these more. Hopefully I'll be taking more pics while I'm working at Disneyland this summer.

Film Fest Friday - Kaylie

Today's feature in Film Fest Friday is quite special to me because, well, I worked on it earlier this semester. It was directed and produced by a couple friends of mine, and I was recruited to be the assistant director. I must say I think this film was very well done, and I'm pleased to have been a part of it. I'm also pleased that I've got at least three background cameos as an extra.



Stay tuned for a small PhotoBlog coming up in the next few days.
Ta ta for now!

The Return of Great Adventure?

I just returned from the midnight premiere of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I must say, it was WEIRD! Okay, not the whole thing, just the end. But let me start from the beginning: for the most part, I enjoyed the movie. It had plenty of action and adventure, true to the spirit of the original three films, with the epic chase through the jungle being my favorite part. Yet after the end, I kinda forgot about the jungle chase and the other segments of the movie. It was so weird, it was all I could think about afterwards.

On the plus side, "Temple of Doom" looks relatively normal now.

At any rate, I would still recommend seeing "Indy 4" at least once. You know you want to. Even if the end is weird, the rest of the movie is quite enjoyable in parts, and it's good to have Indiana Jones back for one more round.

And I'm pretty sure this is the only movie in which Harrison Ford escapes in a refrigerator.

"Prince Caspian" Review and Film Fest Friday

On Friday, myself and a group of friends went down to the El Capitan theater in Hollywood for a viewing of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. My report: it's a decent film, but don't read the book or it will ruin the movie for you. For me, it was the other way around. While the movie wasn't bad on its own, I was too distracted from the huge discrepancies between book and movie to really enjoy it. While I have other complaints as well, I feel that these would have been remedied if Disney had tried to stay a little closer to the original story.
Again, the film isn't bad or anything, but it's going to get mixed reviews based on how well people remember the book.

At least the cinematography was pretty good.

Anyway, moving along. Today's Film Fest Friday (a day late - my apologies) features Mickey, Donald, and Goofy again in "Lonesome Ghosts". This time, the three friends have taken up jobs as ghost exterminators. However, when they reach their first client, the tables are slightly turned.



That's all for me, folks. I gotta get back to working towards finals.
