Unbelievable things in movies.

In most movies there is one or two things that just doesn't make sense. I will reveal some to you guys now!

In Jurassic World, Claire runs around the park ( for the whole day) in heels,

                       
I have worn heels to church ( for an hour) and have to take them off as soon as possible, running in heels is almost impossible. It is especially impossible to run in heels through a park ( full of uneven ground) while being chased by a dinosaur.

In The Force Awakens, somehow Kylo-ren gets ahead of Rey and Finn in the forest, after being shot, and starting way after them.
                            
It makes no logical sense. I would love to ask J.J Abrams what was going on.

In Sherlock, His Last Vow, we see Mycroft in a car on the phone, he's not wearing gloves, then he gets out of the car and BOOM gloves, while he is still on the phone, but he is wearing gloves. How?
                         
Okay, I couldn't find a picture of him without gloves, but if you watch the episode, you will see it near the end.

 Toy Story, Buzz Lightyear thinks that he is real, so why does he freeze when humans show up, wouldn't he just keep moving and talking?
                                        

Any Marvel movie ever. Where are the other super heroes when there team mate need them? What are they doing? Just sitting around watching the news? Why don't the help each other? The only time they work together is in the Avengers, and the Age of Ultron.
                                


Last but not least, Captain America, So when we see Redskull's ship all of the nuclear bombs have the names of cities painted on them, the cities that are going to be bombed. But if Redskull is German and all of his henchman are German, why write the words in English? Did he plan on Captain America seeing them?
                                      
So those are my movie loop holes for now, feel free to write in the comments a movie loop hole that I didn't write about, or a movie loop hole that really bothers you.

Summer book list!

As the summer comes, and school ends people begin to read more. I thought that I would put out a list of my favorite books so that all of you can find some good summer books!

1) The Giver by Lois Lowry.
                                        
The Giver is in my opinion one of the most pro-life books out there, even if Lois Lowry didn't mean to make it that way, it is. The Giver is followed by 3 other books, together a great series. The Giver is for ages 10 and up.

2) The Hero's guide to saving your  kingdom by Christopher Healy.
                                        
Like The Giver,  The Hero's guide to saving your kingdom is also a series of 3 books. I found this gem at the library and fell in love with it. I really hope that Christopher Healy decides to right more for the series. The Hero's guide to saving your kingdom is for ages 10 and up.

3) The Miraculous journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo.
                                       
This has to be one of my favorite books, I read it when I was 7 and have probably read it at least 20 more times. The Miraculous journey of Edward Tulane is great for ages 7 and up.

4) The 13 1/2 lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers.
                                     
Not exactly a quick read at a whopping 704 pages. However the book is still exciting and fun for those who read it.  The 13 1/2 lives of Captain Bluebear is good for ages 12 and up.

5) Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo murders  by Kevin Sylvester.
                                            
There is a full series for the Neil Flambe books, a total of 6 books, my favorite, book number 5. The Neil Flambe books are great for cooks, and mystery lovers. Neil Flambe and the Marco Polo murders is for ages 10 and up.

6) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.
                             
Most of us have seen the movies, but they don't really do the books justice.
( spoiler: the books are better!) I enjoyed reading these and was super sad when I finished the last book, Mockingjay. Because of the themes and situations I would put the ages at 13 and up.

7) Ella Enchanted by Gale Carson Levine.
                                  
A fun twist on a classic fairy tale, Ella Enchanted is fun and addictive.( Pick up the book, you may have a hard time putting it down!) The book is a million times better than the movie. Ella Enchanted is a good story for ages 8 and up.

8) Life's Greatest Lesson by Allen R. Hunt.
                                    
Life's Greatest Lesson is a Catholic book that is interesting and emotional.
I will be honest and admit that I cried while reading the book. The ages for this book is ages 13 and up.

I hope that this reading list will give you all a good list of books to read for the summer!
