This week, I watched Existenz (1999) It was interesting because in a way it reminded me of spy kids 3 Funny enough, it was from the same studio, Dimension Films. It had that aspect of this alternate reality game where people entered a video game world. This film was pre digital and I didn't realize this until after but the effects that were in the film were done very nicely. I liked that this felt more like literary work rather than a genre. It felt real in itself rather than sci fi fiction, which it really could have been.

I watched Serenity (2005) I haven't seen the TV series Firefly that preceded this. This movie was a nice change of the traditional space scifi type film. It had a very deep story and it definitely seems more realistic. However it didn't lack that fiction magic aspect. However throughout the movie I felt as if I was missing information I might have needed to watch the TV show to get. I say, that in a way it is kind of like “Alien” meets “Star Wars” or “The Walking Dead” meets “Star Trek”.

I like how descriptive Anne Rice is when she wrote this. She had the boy describe the vampire pulling the curtains back. I, myself was wanting to read more, unable to stop because I could see it clearly in my head. The writer uses such descriptions and similes I feel immersed in the story. While I was reading this story I noticed that there were a lot of similes and metaphors. I thought they contributed nicely with the story I think that the relationship between the vampire and the boy is unique and interesting. The boy throughout the story is recording what the vampire says on a tape recording, to document what the vampire says in the interview. The vampire in the story really goes in depth with the people in its life starting with it's brother and his death and the relationships the vampire had. In the story the vampire tells the boy with the tape recorder a lot about death. The vampire has seemed to have dealt with this alot in his life. This book is an interesting

W7-Feb 22 Spiritual education Time Bandits was a film with lots of symbolism. I think the biggest one was the illusion between God and the devil a lot. Where they don't really think they call each other that, but they tend to allude to them alot. I think it is a great concept to have this time traveling story where the main Character, Kevin embarks on with the dwarfs.
