Fallen

Title: Fallen

Author: Lauren Kate
Publisher: Delacorte Books for Young Readers
edition: advance reading copy

I'm not particularly fond of this book given the fact that its about fallen angels. I've read other books with fallen angels but this one didn't give me enough satisfaction to like it. The characters are a bit off. It's not very strong for my taste (at least the way the author established it).There are unanswered things that made the whole novel quite incomplete. I just hope I'm not alone in this.

the story...

Lucinda is going to a reform school. An incident happened on her previous school wherein her boyfriend died in a mysterious fire. Shadows lurk around her all the time which scares and tormented her.

In her new school she met Daniel and Cam - two gorgeous guys that caught her attention. With Daniel, she gets an instant connection. It was a very strong connection that she couldn't explain but Daniel was being aloof and distant and sometimes hostile with her. Cam on the other hand was charming and eager to win her attention. Luce was so drawn to Daniel that she still likes him even if he's sometimes act like a jerk around her.

Luce thought everything was just normal in a weird school where they all stay. Strict rules are implemented here. She and her new found friend at school felt that there was something different about Daniel. It turned out that Daniel was a fallen angel who loves Luce from different lifetimes. Cam was a fallen angel too (only on the bad side). A battle was inevitable because of Luce. In the end they were surprised that what they thought was someone they can trust was someone that wants Luce dead. She lost a friend in the process and now Luce needs to hide because they're now on a hunt for her.

Scream 4 (Movie 2011)

Movie title: Scream 4
Screening Time: 8:05 p.m.
Where: Power Plant Mall


What can I say... I thought after 3 movies, this franchise will lose its touch. I was so wrong. This movie was just great and really sick. Sickly good. I kept on guessing the real killer. I got one right. This one was just overly twisted. I thought the other 3 were twisted already. I enjoyed it. My hearts just keep on pumping very fast.

The story...
Sidney Prescott was back in town launching her new book when another series of murders happened. The people in this town were now again the center of attention. The killings were patterned on the movies that were made out of the actual life of Sidney. People around Sidney died left and right and they still don't know who the killer is. One thing leads to the next. In the end you will still be surprised.

Start guessing from the beginning. I got tired after watching it- emotionally. It's still good.
