iPhone 4

A lot of articles based on the iPhone 4 appear to be looking for flaws in the software, but my mind is still set to having one. The screen may be more delicate and the battery may die a little bit more quickly than iPhone 3G, but I think it is still worth owning due to the other cool new features. The other things that Apple has added to the iPhone - such as FaceTime, iBook, folders and a computer-like screen, are a perfect explanation for the slight change in battery life and screen sensitivity. I don't think that journalists should be criticizing every tiny little thing because a product can only get so good, and its impossible for it to be perfect. I definitely am still saving up my money to buy one. :)

Harry Potter VS. Twilight

Daniel "Harry Potter" Radcliffe and Robert "Edward Cullen" Pattinson.

THIS ARTICLE MADE ME REALLY MAD. It was definitely a little bit biased and against Harry Potter, while I'm biased and against Twilight. I think it was a tad biased because it only retrieved opinions from 13-year old girls, who are the primary audience of Twilight movies and books. I think the article would have been more accurate had it included an opinion from a guy or from an older and more mature girl. If the writers of the article had done so, it definitely may have sounded less one-sided. The Twilight books do, in my opinion, have some depth and the author does know how to write extremely well. But since I've read both Harry Potter and Twilight, I can compare and say that the Harry Potter books were written better and keep you a lot more entertained and withdrawn, whereas I thought Twilight had a lot of boring parts and didn't keep me interested. The Twilight BOOKS are okay and the Harry Potter books are amazing, but I think the Twilight movies are horrible. The acting is awful and the production made the "okay" books look even worse. I won't argue that the Harry Potter movies are better than the books, because that is rarely the case with a really good book, but the movies are definitely a whole lot better than Twilight movies.

Paranormal Activity Two (forgotten blog post from last week)

I really REALLY did not like this movie trailer and thought it was a waste of a minute and nine seconds. I personally thought that it didn't have much of a point to it, and didn't show that the sequel to Paranormal Activity is going to be any better than the first. I think that a commercial is good if it attracts the audience's attention and leaves them feeling a little bit of awe, meanwhile I believe this movie trailer satisfied neither of those standards. I definitely don't think I'll be seeing this movie in theaters unless my friends force me to. Renting it after it comes out on DVD? I probably will do so with my friends, so I can laugh at it.
