Title: The Scorch Trials Author: James Dashner Series: The Maze Runner (book 2) Publisher: Chicken House Ltd Release Date: 5 Jun. 2014 ISBN: 9781909489417 Synopsis Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escaping meant he would get his life back. But no one knew what sort of a life they were going back to... Burned and baked, the earth is a wasteland, its people driven mad by an infection known as the Flare. Instead of freedom, Thomas must face another trial. He must cross the Scorch to once again save himself and his friends. My Review I enjoyed Maze Runner overall but had a few reservations, but I was intrigued to find out more so started to read Scorch Trials. The Gladers are out of the maze, but it's not the comforting end they hoped for, instead the experiments continue, but on a much larger and more dangerous scale. Thomas and his friends must once more band together to try and overcome all the trials an...
The movie Easy A finds Emma Stone's character, Olive, selling made up sex and make out stories to boys who want to help their reputations. Olive gets a reputation as the school slut, and then starts dressing up to that reputation. All the while, she is secretly (or not so secretly) in love with a fellow student, and she has yet to even sleep with anyone. During this time, Olive's English class is reading The Scarlet Letter, and Olive relates more and more to Hester Prynne and the movie goes along.
I could easily tell that whomever made this movie LOVES 80's movies, because I saw a ton of homages to my much beloved decade of movies. Also, there were some downright hilarious parts in Easy A. On a whole though, the movie fell kinda flat. Emma Stone kept making faces, and wasn't as fun and spunky as she was in Zombieland or Superbad. Most of the "teenagers" looked way older than they were supposed to be, and the romantic plot was pretty obvious. Plus, what school is going to let a girl go around in bustiers all the time? Meh. Not overly impressed.
Also, this movie has the WORST lighting I've ever seen. Emma stone didn't look pale, she looked like she'd been dead in the bottom of a river for 3 months then dragged out and forced to star in this movie. She was that level of pale.
