My Favorite Movies

One of my favorite movies of 2012 is The Amazing Spider Man. I've been a fan of Spider-Man since I was a kid. He's my favorite superhero that's why I really loved this movie. I like this version better than the old Spider-Man movies because the screenplay and the graphics are much high quality. I watched this movie in 3D in the theater that's why I really saw the intense graphics inside the movie.

And my all time favorite movie is The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006). I really love this movie because it features all types of cool cars. And added to that, people drift even girls. And the story is pretty intense too which gave the movie a worth watching experience. I first saw this on TV and I bought the Blu-Ray copy of it so I can watch it whenever I feel like I want to see fast-drifting cars.

My Three Most Influential Books

This are some of the books that I read as a teen and as a kid that I would say very influential:

The Harry Potter Series

First, would be the Harry Potter Series. I started reading this a kid because I was amazed by wizardry and by the mythical creatures inside the book. Harry Potter is a seven book series written by J. K. Rowling. Its about the adventures of a young wizard, Harry Potter with his friends inside the mysterious Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardy and how he will overcome the dark wizard, Lord Voldemort, who wants become an immortal and rule the wizard world. The theme would be death but there are also many other themes including, prejudice and corruption. It was one of the best selling book series in the history. I think Harry Potter set the standard for contemporary children's literature because it's very entertaining for a kid's mind how the wizard word was set in this book. And it's still popular until now. 

Go Ask Alice

The next one would be Go Ask Alice. Written by Beatrice Sparks (1971). Its a book about a the life of a troubled teenage girl. It's written in the form of a diary of an anonymous girl who got addicted to drugs. This book was really entertaining for me. I read this inside the class and got really into it. This is a very controversial book because it shows different kinds of drugs and actions that a teenage girl in high school shouldnt do in a very young age.

The Lord Of The Flies

And lastly, is the Lord Of The Flies. Its a novel by Nobel Prize winning English author William Golding. Its about a group of british boys stuck in an island after a plane crash who tried to govern themselves with disastrous results. This is a really nice book. It has a cool story line where every characters changes. I read this book inside the class too, and we even watched the movie about it and it gave me more pictures to put in my mind while reading the book.
