An Excerpt from Braveheart:

William Wallace: "Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least for a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!"

  Haven't Been Active In A While

  So I've been inactive for quite a long time now and I haven't made any forum posts, blogs or reviews mostly because I've just been too busy with school and work. However, I officially graduate in 13 days and I have prom on the final day of June, so hopefully I'll be back to writing reviews and blogs cause I like writing stuff out and saying my opinions and I promise to keep at it and be consistent, also I want to keep hearing from you guys on here as well cause I like feedback and I will also comment on your reviews and blogs as well and then we'll all joyous little campers. Plus, I finally hooked up XBox Live so hopefully I'll get to challenge you guys soon, but please go easy, I haven't played much in the past while cause of school.

  Anyway, hope to hear from you peoples.

  Adios.

  Okay, those are my predictions. I've seen all of the best picture nominations and the majority of the films that have been nominated except all of the short film ones, the foreign language films, and most documentaries, mostly because they don't come to theatres where I live. I honestly believe that the biggest upset of the night will be in original screenplay section. Everybody is saying it's going to be Juno, I want to see it win more than anything for its heart and wit, but I think the Academy, because they're all dinosaurs will go with Michael Clayton for its precision and intelligence. Clayton was recently re-released into theatres at the beginning of February and was recently brought out onto DVD, this might give it the edge. Juno on the other hand, won't win because critics were annoyed by the dialogue and because it was the second pregnancy movie of the year. The Academy is somewhat cold hearted, as you can tell, there is very very few comedies nominated to prove this. But I hope that Juno will prevail as did Little Miss Sunshine did last year, so perhaps there is hope for Juno, same goes for the beautiful Ellen Page, go CANADA!

  Adios!
