Movie, AND Book review!

MOVIE:
Title: Frozen
Characters: Parker (A Girl), Dan (Parker's Boy friend), Joe (Dan's best friend).
Plot: Three friends want to ski, and snowboard down the mountain one more time before they leave.  They bribe the ski-lift operator, and then another operator takes over.  The other operator sees three people come down the mountain, and was told "Three more are going up, wait for them".  The operator shuts down, and leaves.  The mountain is not open again until the following Friday, and the friends are trapped.  Dan jumps off the lift, and breaks both legs.  Parker's hand freezes to the safety bar, and she rips it off, bleeding, and frost-bitten.  Joe climbs on a wire across to other chairs, until he comes to one with a ladder, and climbs down.  Only Parker survives.
Rating (like rated G kind of rating :P): R
Rating (as in how good it was...): **

I only rate it "two stars" because it was so boring I fell asleep.  And I DO NOT  fall alseep during movies.  I DO NOT.  The first time I stayed up really late watching a movie (that I remember) was Jarhead, or heads... I don't know, but I stayed up with my Mom watching that until past midnight, and my Dad fell asleep for that one!

BOOK:
Title: Killer Pizza
Main Characters: Toby, Annabel, "Strobe", Harvey, and Steve.
Plot: Toby finally finds a job at a pizza place, called "Killer Pizza".  He works with three others, Doug, Annabel, and Strobe.  Annabel is a leader at heart, and figures out how everybody can work together well.  Strobe is strong and silent, and is a teen with a dark past.  Toby is the kid who doesn't get great grades, (haha "get great grades") and doesn't find it easy to make friends.  Doug is the kid who sits in the corner, watching everybody else work.  It turns out Doug is really the owner of Killer Pizza (harvey), but he's more than that! He's a monster hunter, and he wants to employ, and train Toby,  Annabel, and Strobe.  They agree, and have to hunt down guttata.  As they fight, Annabel gets captured by the Alpha male himself! The alpha says that he will let her go, and leave the city, if the MCO (Monster Combat Officers), will let them have their monthly gathering in peace.  Strobe, and Toby don't like it.  They rescue Annabel!
Age range: Young Adult.
Rating: Out of 5 ********************.

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, LOVE this book!

OMG THE ZOMBIES!!!! THE ZOMBIES!!!!

THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING!!!! Oh, wow. That sounds to much like, "THE END IS NEAR!!!!" So, never mind! Well, my current favorite movie is "Zombieland" an amazing (:D) movie that came out in 2009. I know! "We're still in 1998!" Oh well. So the rules to surviving "Zombieland" are:



  1. CARDIO (The first ones to go in Zombieland are fat people... just sayin')

  2. Double-tap (Don't save your bullets, if most people are Zombies it won't be hard to find more)

  3. Beware of Bathrooms (Awesome rule, I mean "Beware of Bathrooms! Woooooow.... ;)

  4. Seat belts (It may seem like "THERE ARE ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE AND YOU WANT ME TO WEAR A SEAT BELT?!" But you haven't seen the movie, have you?)

17. DON'T BE A HERO (I know it skips. (In the end this rule is changed to "Be a Hero"))


18. Limber-up (Goes with Cardio, but is a bit higher up :)


31. Check the backseat (Can you guess why o.O)


32. Enjoy the little things (TALLAHASSEE SAID IT FIRST!!!!!! :D)


----------------------------------------------------------------


So those are the rule to surviving ZOMBIELAND, but what about other Zombie books, and Movies, what do they do in those?! Well, I'm starting a new book (i know, ANOTHER ONE?!) called "When the Zombies Come". It's basically a survival guide to a world with zombies. The rules:



  1. Stay in Shape, if you're out of shape, and can't run... You'll end up a zombie. (same as in Zombieland with different words)

  2. If you can't kill your best friend if and when they become a zombie stay faaaaaaaaar away from them!! (Good rule? Huh? Huh? What d'ya think?!)

  3. Live somewhere up high where the zombies can't get to you! (I would choose a tree-house, 'cause I like trees, and houses......)

  4. If you do live somewhere up high then you'll need long range weapons. (Guns, Bows, Slingshots, you get the idea ;)

Also you'll need stuff like:



  1. Baseball bats. If everyone is a zombie ('cept you) a baseball bat is not only useful, but free! :D

  2. A Crowbar. another good weapon, also used to break into buildings for Supplies, and housing.

  3. Flashlights. veeeeeeeeery useful, but also makes you easier to hit in a fight with zombies. Weapon and not! :)

  4. Know-how! When zombies are running around loose you might need to "Borrow" a car.

  5. This book! This book contains everything you need to know about surviving zombies! And if it's missing something, don't come looking for the author.......... Because if it's missing something the author is a zombie by now. :o (poor me......)
    -----------------------------------------------------------------

In 28 Days Later....... Wait, I'm not repeating anything that they did in that movie. It was horrible. Zombieland was 10 or 20 or 250 times better. The Zombies were more convincing. In 28 Days Later the zombies GAVE UP when chasing a car, AND they spat to much blood...... Oh and Tallahassee wasn't in 28 Days Later. 28 Weeks Later was better. More convincing, but in the "Zombie" movie genre, as far as I've seen, Zombieland still takes the cake. (An expression I learned in A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book the Second. The Reptile Room. It has a veeeery long title....) Well, I guess that's it! Oh yeah! And I exercised my talent of hurting myself recently! I dropped a fan on my TOE. And it HURTS. WAIT, sorry I got the story wrong......... "One night, KAT, was taking a fan out of her WINDOW, and the fan, suicidal this fan was, LEAPED from her hands, and STOMPED on her toe! A very painful experience for both the fan, and KAT." It may seem a little Far Fetched, but that's EXACTLY what happened. If you don't believe ME, ask the fan! Or my fish, I think King Jonathan V of Tortall was watching, I'll have to ask him later. Well, now I'm done, Keep Reading, Researching, and Watching Zombie movies. (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ZOMBIELAND, ALTHOUGHT THERE'S LOTS OF SWEARING IN THAT MOVIE. AND ONE OF THE CHARACTERS KILLS BILL MURRAY!!!! :O)

Meg 1995

Hello readers of Disaster Spot!!!! For those of you who did not read the comments on my last post, I changed my profile picture, and my display name. I apparently, have started doing book and movie reviews on my blog!! Only Disaster themed though!!

I am reading a book, or I should says was, it is a kind of difficult book, so I took a break from it, but that was a few years a go, I don't think I was ready for it then, but anyway.

It's called "Meg: A novel of Deep Terror" By: Steve Alten. Very close in subject to "Jaws". In Meg, there is a Giant Carcharodon Megalodon, also called "Meg". In the AMAZINGLY AWESOME prologue a T.Rex gets caught in the water and is eaten by the "Meg". In this book a "Navy deep-sea submersible pilot" Named Jonas Taylor, goes on a top-secret mission to the "Mariana trench". The Megalodon in the book is a 70ft. 60,000 lb. Great-white-Shark. This species of shark is supposed to have died off with the dinosaurs, in the book, there are still some living. And the most interesting part of this book, is that it Could contain some truth, Carcharodon Megalodon could still be living today, in the deepest parts of the ocean. Like the Mariana Trench, the deepest trench in the entire ocean. Oceanographers, Scientists, Palaeontologists, and other shark, and prehistoric experts, believe that the Carcharodon Megalodon may still be alive today, in the deepest parts of the ocean, and most ocean trenches a round the world. The most asked question is: How has a Shark that big hidden itself for millions of years, without any humans noticing?? The best answer seems to be, no humans have gone any where near the bottom of the trench. Some scientist believe, that the Meg(s) have hidden closer to the bottoms of these trenches, so no humans have ever seen them. Megalodons eat whales and dolphins, Megalodons could go out of their trenches for a few minutes to catch a meal, then take their meal home. Or whales and dolphins might end up in the trenches somehow. Well, from what I have read in the beginning..... It sounds like a good book.

Well, Keep Reading and Researching!!!!!
