Skyfall

Skyfall, as I think all of you now it, is the new James Bond movie.  It has a very weird plot.




So, at the beginning, James Bond is shot by another agent and falls from a bridge. He's supposed to be dead. But he's not. Because he's James Bond.

So he comes back to his agence and they give him a new mission. To kill the Agence's ex-best agent. The other 'James Bond'.



On the left, James Bond.
On the right, the ex-James Bond.
He has an island all to himself. James Bond ends up on it. The other James Bond (Silva) gives him a long talk about rats:

Silva: My grandma had a small island. But if was infested with rats. So she had to get rid of them... Did she kill them? No. She put coconuts in a big hole. The rats all fell in the hole and when there was no coconuts they ate the other rats. When there was only two rats left, she let them out. And they didn't eat coconuts, they ate only rats. We are the two rats that are left. Are we going to eat each other? No...

James Bond: ...



James Bond manages to run away, but Silva, who has an overly big intelligence, 

Silva blows up the MI6. James Bond has a plan to kill Silva. James Bond goes to his home,  Skyfall and prepares a trap for Silva. Skyfall was Bond's house when he was young. He puts dynamite in it and while Silva is in it, blows it up. But Silva's still not dead. Bond falls into a frozen lake and has to struggle to get out. In the end, Silva is in a church and pointing his gun at Bond. But Bond kills Silva.

And there's only one rat left. Bond. James Bond.

And Adele made a song for the movie. It's a good song, I think.

My Life on Live 1

So. Next week I'm leaving to camp.
Oh, Joy! Oh happiness! *No, joking.*


Last year, we did random stuff. This year, I'm gonna tell it to you. Be prepared, you might be surprised.

Plus, camps are supposed to be in tents, right? Well, Yes. But as is happens, nobody likes tents, so we sleep in tiny cramped dormitories with not even enough space for a table. And three more people snore and fart during the night.

But somehow - and this is the good part - those camps still manage to be really fun.

Update!

Hi! This is the Official Ragdolls Maybe account. We're gonna be having, well, I'm gonna be having a new topic: My Life on Live.

Yeah, about all the weird stuff, funny stuff, stuff we complain about and more stuff. Like My Life on Live!

See it soon on Ragdolls Maybe. *wink wink*

King Matt the First

King Matt the First is a book by Janusz Korczak. Yes, I know. He has a weird name. But his original name was Henryk Goldszmit - and that already existed!

Well, about the book now. In the beginning, Matt was not a king. He was a simple child. His parents were the King and Queen. They both died. First the mother, then his father. He cried their death. He was now to be the king. He was then still very young. He thought being a king was fun, and not only work. 

*Well, children now still think that!*

He was controlled by the ministers into signing a war pact. King Matt made himself a friend before the war. Then, he escaped from the palace and fought with his country. Nobody knew until he came back and understood that being a king is not easy. 

He changed the way his country was, made friends with a cannibal king that gave him gold, and became very popular. Because of that, a new war started. This time, he lost. The other kings chose not to kill him, but to exile him on a desert island.





I was so sad that the book ended there! There's another book in the series, "King Matt on the Desert Island", but I can't get it. I can't find it.

The old man and the Sea



Though it may not seem like it,
It's a must-read. Well why? you'd think. It's not that long. It's easy to read. The story is amazing. It's... artistic! An old sailor goes to fish and finds the biggest fish ever. Then ensues a long fight inbetween man and fish. The man wins, but regrets to have killed the fish, then dies himself when he returns to land. I very suggest you read that book. I loved it!!!

It's not that philosophic!!!

Wonderboy

It's a book. Well, you already know that! It's one of my favorites. I devoured it in 2 days. So simply, Fiona Gibson wrote a wonderful story. It's funny, it's awesome!!
It's about this boy, Tod, his mother is the narrator. The family moves to a little village and first, it's really weird. But then, a lot of funny things happen. Everything is good. Until the mother discovers that her husband, Marcus, cheated on her. And, mostly, while she was pregnant of Tod! The worst thing is, that he had another daughter in that time. So the mother breaks up with her husband and ummm... Everything's back to 'normal'.

A really good book for summer reading. Not a chef d'oeuvre, though.

Life of Pi

It's about a boy that is on a boat. He's on the boat with a lot of animals. *Why, Oh MY GOSH! * you'll be asking. It's cause he owns a zoo, with his parents. But then the boat sinks and he finds himself on a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker. He's also with a tiger, a hyena and an orangutang named Orange Juice, but the tiger kills them all. By some sort of luck, shall I say, he becomes friends with the tiger. The most exciting part of the book is when they end up on an island that is awesome during the day, but that during the night has an acid ground and kills people and meerkats. He flees the island to finally be saved, but nobody believes him.

This IS on my favorite books list. I absolutely love it! You must read it, because it's the most awesome book ever.

I'm not telling a lot; I know. Just read it - and it'll also be in you top 5 list. Maybe even in 1st place!

Remember Me?

It's a book by Sophie Kinsella.
And it's really random. Basically, it's about this girl that goes to a bar, wants to catch a taxi, bangs her head and gets amnesia for three years, until she gets in an accident and starts remembering stuff again. It comes out she has a husband and, like, the whole stuff... plus an affair with a weird architect. Well, he says so. 

It's one of Sophie Kinsella's worst books 'cause it's really really random, at least it's not boring. Well, I actually liked it but it's not worth a lot of writing though.

That Book About Harvard

"That Book About Harvard" (By Eric Kester, if you're interested). It's a really stupidly funny book about *did you guess yet???* *a guy in Harvard? is he a nerd?*
Well, it is is a book about Harvard, and this guy is not a nerd, and by the book it actually seems he's kinda stupid. So he has to survive Harvard... and how he tells it is soooo fun!

I like that book because it doesn't talk about Harvard like we think it would - and that's why it's so cool.

And I think he should have called the book "This book about Harvard", though.

Moonrise Kingdom

I think this is the best movie I've ever seen. It's about love, it's funny and it's the best movie all at the same time.

There's a scout *is that the boy?* you say. Yes. And he loves the girl. But the girl's parents think he's someone she shouldn't know.  But they somehow manage to write letters to each other, and they decide to run away. So they run away together. Until they're discovered. But that won't stop their love. So they run away again. And don't you dare think this is a stupid movie!!! Well, you're allowed but not in the comments please.Then, they marry each other and try to commit suicide. But at the end, everything comes in place.

If you want to understand the poster, watch the movie please. It's really funny and nice.

I know I didn't write a lot, but that's just so you like the movie more when you watch it. But it's really excentric.

Hunger Games


The “Hunger Games” is a nice movie. It’s about a girl, called Katniss Everdeen (I’m not sure if you write it like that though) that comes from district twelve, and you’ll think *what’s that?* I’ll explain. Her sister gets chosen for the Hunger Games, which are basically violent games where everyone is killed except one person – the winner. And in every district (there are 12 of them), there is a boy and a girl chosen randomly to participate. But with Katniss, that won’t go because she doesn’t want to kill her friend from district 12. So they fake loving each other to survive – well, Katniss does but not him…




That's Katniss.



That story was taken from a book by Suzanne Collins and she wrote a trilogy out of it. The first book is good, the other two are boring – I think. I was too bored to read further than page ten of book two.

The movie was good. I liked how Katniss played her part – but she was a bit fatty and not beautiful. But she acted REALLY WELL.

So, it’s a good movie – as I said. But it’s quite violent so children under 10, stop here and don’t watch that movie. Ten-year olds and more, watch – except if you have a phobia of bees, dogs or blood. Otherwise, the movie had good special effects – and the music was OK.

So, I recommend this to you.

“ May the odds be ever in your favor…” Don’t worry, you’ll understand if you watch, if you were thinking *whaaaat?* just now.

9




















"9" is a wonderful movie. With a number name. 9, because there is *nine principal characters, you think.* And you're right. I present them to you before the story because this movie is what pushed me to making this blog. So there they are (In the images above and under):
1, the leader. He's scared.
2, the inspired. He found 9.
3 and 4, the intelligent ones. They know what happened before because they read.
5, the one that the Beast wounded.
6, the artist. He was not scared and understood.
7, she's a girl. She's like a ninja and fights.
8, the protector. He protects the ones that live with number 1 *everyone except 7*
9, the new one. Who came to save them all.


Their story: An inventor imagined a mechanic brain, used by a dictator to attain bad things. The machine rebelled and started a human-machine war. The inventor gave his soul to the 'numbers', to save the world from the machines. The last one is 9, and he must save them all.

This is one of the best movies ever. I loved it. And I recommend it to you. You might think *this is an animation movie, that's for kids* - no. It's a poetic story between good and evil, but where everything is inbetween evilness and goodness.. And Timburtonesque. (He contributed: if you watched 'the Nightmare Before Christmas' by him, you'll see 8 is exactly like the big green guy that looks like a bag).

The Lorax

Well, this blog is about movies. The movies I watch. And the movies I watch are weird movies. So, as you guessed: this is a blog about weird movies.



The first movie I'm presenting is: The Lorax.
It was originally a book by Dr. Seuss, but this year, they made a movie of it. It's about a boy called Ted that loves a girl. They both live in a city called Thneedville. In the city, there is no real trees. But the girl wants a tree. Ted will get her one. This is a movie I didn't particularly like. But for you: It's a tale of love, and ecology. *Well, actually it's just a story about two stupid boys, trees and a girl. And a lot of singing.* But there's two funny characters: a big, fat and stupid bear, and a crazily nice granny.

That's the bear. He's really stupid and funny.
And that's the granny. She's like the granny most of the people want to have.

But I surely don't recommend the Lorax, except to small kids under... ummm... 7.

I didn't read the book, but I think it's better. But one thing to say, is, that: the animation is GREAT!
