Fantasy Sightings

Alrighty folks now today's assignment is to write about some fantasy films/TV shows you've seen about fantasy. Well I've seen several films, but not many TV shows, so I'm just going to describe the movies since I cant remember any TV shows anyhow. One fantasy movie I remember is The Wizard of Oz that movie terrified me. I was so scared of tornado's (I still am) and the wicked witch of the west just scared me overall.  I also watched the movie, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nymph and that was a really good movie. I liked how they portrayed Mrs. Frisby's struggle on how she had to find a way to keep her and her family safe without somehow killing her son. I have also read many fantasy books too, like the Harry Potter series (even though it was only one book) and The Lord of the Rings (also one book). I really can't remember anymore, so I'm gonna end it here and pray all this counts.

Tolkien Review (Aka The Hobbit in which the authors name is bigger than the title so it looks like the title)

All I ever do is book reviews so lets get to it. I somewhat liked this book, because I have been wanting to read the Lord of the Rings for quite some time now, but I personally don't really like fantasy anymore, so it was kind of boring for me. There were some action scenes, like when Bilbo fought the dragon. My group and I (aka Pahz, Jenna, Victoria, Kordae and I) discussed the book in our group last period. I learned somewhat nothing I already knew about the fantasy genre because I already know what it consists of. Magic, evil creatures, forests, that kind of stuff. I feel my reviews are always short but that's because I really never know what to discuss. So yeah I guess this is the end of my review. I didn't hate the book, but I didn't really like it either. If you like fantasy I would def recommend this though.

Another Martian Chronicles Review

Alright these reviews are getting out of hand tbh but lets just get this over with shall we? But I did like this book better than Dandelion Wine that's for sure, mostly because it included more action in its chapters, and more interesting situations. I also like the topic a lot better because historical-fiction stories seem less interesting to me than science fiction ones. I mean, historical-fiction stories seem really boring, and I personally am not interested by books that talk about making wine out of weeds or someone who eats lime-vanilla ice cream like that sounds disgusting. But give me a book that talks about aliens and mars and earth at the brink of war, sure, I'll read it. I also liked The Martian Chronicles because of the way Bradbury took simple earth things and turned them into an even bigger issue on Mars, such as chicken pox. Chicken Pox on earth isn't such a big deal, but on Mars it turned out to be a huge deadly disease that burned martians to the bone. But overall I think The Martian Chronicles was a much better book than Dandelion Wine.
