Heyum's Journal

The Dark Knight was the best movie I saw this year. The story was a little complicated, but it was understandable. It started as people wearing clown masks robbing a big bank. While they were robbing the bank, each person was ordered to kill one another. It turned out that the last person who killed the other person was actually the Joker. This part was surprising and made me more excited about what was going to happen further on. While the police were trying to catch a person called Lau who was holding all the stolen money, he was half way to Hong Kong. The scene where Batman went to Hong Kong to catch Lau was amazing because all the action and all the devices Batman used to catch Lau. He was taken to the police and a prosecutor called Harvey Dent made him spill everything they needed to take him down. Meanwhile, Joker suggested that Batman should be dead because he was the biggest threat so he started sending messages about the people he will kill. He said he will stop killing people when Batman takes off his mask and give in to the police. The police found a joker card that had DNA of three people so they tried to protect them. Starting this part of the movie, it gets better and better because it had all the excitement and it was all about the mind. One of the three people was the commissioner but the commissioner said that he didn't need protection. He took out his wine and started drinking but that drink made him die. The judge was the second person but when she got in her car it blew up with a big explosion. After Harvey took Lau down Bruce Wayne aka Batman threw a party to celebrate Harvey's great work. But they didn't know that Harvey was the third person who Joker was going to kill. Just before Joker came in to kill Harvey, Bruce got a message that Harvey was the third person so he took Harvey to a safe place and suited up to get Joker. Batman was about to defeat Joker but Joker threw Harvey's girlfriend Rachel Dawes out the window so he jumped out and got her. Batman saved her life but Joker got away. Now the main action of the movie was about to start and it was the best part of the movie. All the calculated plans and twists were the best and it was all action, too. Joker sent another message and this time it was the mayor. On the mayor's parade Joker's men disguised as soldiers tried to shoot the mayor but James Gordon the Lieutenant saved the mayor but he got shot. Gordon was then known dead and the police wanted to make his death worthwhile. They found two more messages and it was Rachel and Harvey. Rachel was already captured but Harvey wasn't so the police was trying to send Harvey to a safe place. While they were going Joker attacked and tried to capture Harvey but instead of capturing, he got captured by Gordon who came back from the dead. Harvey went inside a car but that car was one of Joker's. At the police station Joker blew up the station as planned and escaped. Later on, Joker told the police where Rachel and Harvey were and he said that only one person will live. Batman went to save Rachel but when Batman got there, there was Harvey. Joker tricked Batman and when Harvey saw Batman come in he screamed with lamentation because Batman came to him instead of Rachel. Batman took Harvey out as fast as he could and saved him but Harvey's left face was completely burned. I was shocked when Harvey the man of justice was the Harvey that turned into Two-face. I thought it was only Joker but with Two-face, the movie got a lot better. That night, one person was about to tell the true identity of Batman but Joker interfered and said Batman's true identity shouldn't be revealed. Then he threatened to destroy a hospital unless the person who tried to expose Batman's identity dies in one hour. People tried to kill him but Bruce saved his life by crashing into a truck that was trying to crash with the van where the man was. Meanwhile Joker went to the hospital and met Harvey and made him open his eyes to evil were no longer Harvey and became Two-face. Joker got out and exploded the building into smithereens. Two-face went to track down the person who told where Rachel was making her captured and killed the people by flipping coins. Joker was planning to do a game that will kill a lot of people and he tricked the people into playing. The people evacuating got on one ship and prisoners got on another ship. Joker told them that each ship has a device that will blow up the other ship and if they don't blow the other up before midnight they will all die. People started to fight about blowing the other ship or not. Batman used a device that uses sound wave and found Joker. Joker told Batman that it was time for one ship to explode but when it turned midnight, nothing got exploded. The civilian just couldn't blow the ship and the prisoners just threw out the device. Batman told Joker that people's nature doesn't change even though they were going to die right now. Joker got mad and took out the exploding device and tried to destroy both ships but Batman punched him and Joker fell off the building. Batman used the grappling hook and caught Joker hanging and the exploding device smashed. This scene made me really tense because I thought the prisoner with the device would blow up the other ship. The part where Batman fought Joker was a bit short but it was really great.

Two-face found the person who was responsible for Rachel's death. It was one of Gordon's men and he made her call Gordon's family to go to the place where Rachel died. After she called Two-face killed her and waited for Gordon to come. Two-face wanted to kill the person who could have saved Rachel but couldn't, too. Gordon begged to save his family but Two-face ignored him. Batman showed up and fought with Two-face. Two-face tried to kill Gordon but Batman pushed him to save Gordon and Two-face fell and died. Everything was settled but Harvey's murders were the problem. For Harvey to be the most justice person of all, Batman took the guilt and set off. He was the greatest of them all, the dark knight.

This movie was the best movie I have seen this year. Most movies have about thirty to forty minutes of boring parts, but The Dark Knight had no boring parts at all. It was excitement leading to thrill leading to full action. It wasn't like all the other super hero movies. It was great when an incident leaded to another incident without any breaks. That was the kind of movie I like to watch and it finally came out. There will be a lot of movies, but there won't be a movie like The Dark Night.

10,000 BC is a story of a man fulfilling his destiny to save many tribes from a person who calls himself the Almighty. The Almighty took a lot of men from many tribes to make them work as slaves. D'leh, the man of destiny was just a hunter until one day people riding horses who were known as the four-legged demons attacked his village and took many people including the one he loved. He set off as a warrior with a friend, the one with the white spear, and a kid with strong will. While they were traveling, they entered a forest where there lived monstrous birds. They tried to save the people captured, but instead of saving them, Tik'tik, the one with the white spear was injured and two were captured. D'leh found a place to rest and went to hunt animals. He was running after deer but he fell into a pit and saw a saber tooth tiger drowning. He decided to save the tiger and helped it get out safely. The next day, D'leh and Tik'tik found a town but the people weren't friendly. Suddenly the tiger jumped in and roared around and tried to eat them, but D'leh talked to the tiger and it went away. The head of the tribe was surprised and told him about the one who speaks to the saber tooth tiger. He asked D'leh to lead his people and defeat the Almighty. On their way, many tribes gathered to fight the Almighty. That night, D'leh and Tik'tik went inside the hut where the people were captured, and told them that they should join and defeat the Almighty and they left. While they were going back, the guards spotted them and Tik'tik killed them all, but he was stabbed and died. Now D'leh became the owner of the white spear and led the army. The next morning, they attacked and killed the Almighty, freeing all the captured people. D'leh fulfilled his destiny and became a legend.

This movie was better than I expected. I just expected men with clubs hunting animals and a little bit of story, but this movie had a great story with prophecies and spiritual things. At the beginning of the movie, the legend of the blue eyes made it interesting and the big mammoth hunt was inspiring, too. Like the way they made a trap to hunt down a mammoth, the prehistoric words were very interesting. They said moons instead of months, they thought men on horses were four-legged demons, and they thought boats sailing the water were great birds flying above the water. And in the movie, soldiers were called spears instead of men, because spears were the main weapon. Like these, the way prehistoric people name things the way it looks is amazing because I never could have thought of it. The thing I especially like about this movie is the great computer graphic. It was really realistic when the falling of one piece of the monument crushed everything in its way. The mammoth, the big carnivorous bird, and the saber tooth tiger were the best things they did with computer graphic. I wanted to see how real prehistoric animals were and while I was watching this movie I saw it and it was great.

Even though there were a lot of good things about this movie, there were some bad parts, too. In the beginning of the movie, D'leh gets famous by killing the mammoth all by his own. Even though the mammoth actually died by accident, it is weird that the mammoth died just by running into the spear. Usually, big creatures don't die by one shot but the mammoth died just because a spear only long as a tooth pick to him got into his body. And when the four-legged demons came to the village it wasn't as exiting as when the old woman predicted it. It was just like people visiting and hitting people a few times and taking them away. Nobody tried to fight back just because they were riding horses. There was a scene when the tiger came in and left. The only purpose the tiger appeared in the movie was to make D'leh the one who talks to the saber tooth tiger. The tiger appeared only two times when D'leh saved the tiger and when the tiger didn't eat D'leh. That was the most disappointing part of the movie. It would have been better if the tiger follows D'leh and fights but unfortunately dies at the end, but in the movie the tiger shows up just to make D'leh the one. If there were some twists it could have been really good, but without any twists, the whole movie was predictable.

There were some good parts about the movie, and some bad parts. But I just like the movie because it's a movie. I just like to see the movie for fun and to see how it goes on. Seeing the action going on is one of the main reasons of watching movies. Carrie Keagan of NGTV said that 10,000 BC was an adrenaline rush from start to finish and I agree. This was about the prehistoric age so the only reason of watching this movie is a little bit of story and tons of action. This is the movie that makes me watch more movies.

Sometimes I get really angry with my brother. He doesn't listen to me, he doesn't treat me like a older brother, and he talks back. I told him to turn off the game so I could do my homework. But he didn't even listen and just kept playing games. So I told him five more times then he just got out of the chair without turning it off. That made me really angry. John turned it on and James played the game. I told James to turn it off because he was the one playing. But he left without turning it off just because John turned it on. So I told him to turn it off but he kept refusing with his lame excuse. So I took him on the couch and I talked and tried to make him realize that he should turn off the game. But while I was talking he talked back at me with his stupid excuse over and over. So I hit him every time he talked back with that excuse. But he wouldn't listen and made me furious. I think he realized that he was supposed to turn it off. He had no excuse so he just hit me and ran away. I think hitting him and try to make him realize was kinda harsh but there was no other way because James is afraid to get hit by someone who was really angry. All he could do was hit me and run away and wait until I don't get angry. James is a smart guy to think like that but all this is because of the computer. He's addicted to computer games. He denies that but I tested him and he is addicted to computer games. I should try to calm down even if James makes me mad. He's addicted and I can't do anything about that. I tried to fix that two years ago but I failed. Now I'll just make James do whatever he wants to do. He'll stop one day. And I'll stop being angry at him one day too. Blah blah blah.

We went to our cousins' place on our parents' 20th aniversary. Our parents went to Jaejudo and we went to our cousins'. We played computer games with on eof our cousins until sun down so we were tired. When our cousin came back from hagwon we played a card game 'hula'. When it got boring we watched some TV. It was not like our TV so we didn't know how to see what we wanted to see. But when we found out, there were only re-runs so we just watched a movie called 'Mr.Bean's Holiday'. After the movie we spent the rest of the day with card games.

Next day James was sick so he ate some medicine and got needled. One of our cousins went to hakwon at noon so there was not much to do. The other cousin was going to go to his friend's house so I went with him. At the friend's house they played games and I just looked around for 30 minutes. We went back home and played computer games and card games. At night our cousin and I played with his cellphone so we slept at 2 am.

On the 3rd day we all went to play in the park. But our cousin told us that the park was closed so we went to buy pizza on our way back. We all ate delicious pizza when we came home. Then we watched a movie called '80 days around the world' staring Jackie Chan. We went to MacDonald at night and had a great time. On the way back we borrowed a movie and watched it. It was 'Rattatue' and we waited a veery long time to see it so it was fun. We were suppose to go home on this day but our aunt told us to stay one more night so we stayed. we were so happy and we celebrated with games.

Now was the 4th and last day so we woke up early to get ready. Our cousin had to go to church early so we couldn't say good bye. We went home with a frown on our faces. It was another good time with our cousins.

Dad bought an iPod touch and gave me his old iPod nano. I was happy that I got an iPod until I found out that dad's iPod had a lot of great stuff. We can do internet, see video, play games and more.

My iPod is the 1st generation so all I can do is listen to music and play 'brick'. I don't usually listen to music so I don't use my iPod often. I just listen to music when I'm bored but I don't get bored easily. My iPod is hanging around on the desk just waitng for me to use. If there was something interesting to do I would do it all day. I put new songs in it but I don't listen to them. I just like to keep stuff and leave it that way. I should use my new old iPod often.

I came home forgetting that I had a homework and just solve math problems. I suddenly realized that there was a homework to do. But my dad wanted me to do a hard task for me. And I was in the middle of a very important work. The hamster in my head was running but I couldn't think of a way to do everything in time. I just quit my very important work and did my homework for a half hour then did my dad's task. I wanted to do the very important task so I did it as fast as I could. But it was a total failier. I spent the rest of the night moaning out loud.

I finished reading the seventh and last book of Harry Potter. It was about Harry, Ron, and Hermione finding and destroying the Horcruxes of Voldemort. Then at the last part Voldemort did the killing curse to Harry but it bounced back to him so he died. The seventh Harry Potter story was the best one for me because there were a lot of action stuff that made me excited. Harry Potter was the first story I liked that had only words. It was fun because it wasn't just an ordinary novel, it was about a boy in a magical world with exciting adventures. First I saw three Harry Potter movies without reading the book but my dad said he wouldn't show me the movie unless I read the book so I started reading the book. Then it got fun so I started to read the next story and the next one then at last I finished the Harry Potter series. There will be no story that could be more exciting than Harry Potter to me.

I went on a school trip with the whole 8th grade students for 3 days and 2 nights. While we were going we saw a Japanese movie that was about a girl and her family in a ghost town. While the movie was on some kids took pictures of other kids sleeping and they were really funny. Before we went to the hotel-like place we went to Sorak Mountain and saw a great view of it. We got punished when we got to the hotel-like place because everyone was noisy and they didn't obey the teacher. I wasn't happy when the our teacher set the rooms and people because I had to share a room with a guy that's a real pain in the neck and he acts like a elementary student.

The next day we went to see a really big and a little one that's in Sorak Mountain called Oolsan rock and shaking rock. There is a story about Oolsan rock that Oolsan rock traveled a long journey to be one of the 12 thousand peaks but its body was too big so he took a rest at Sorak Mountain. The next day he woke up to go but there were mo seats for Oolsan rock so he just remained on Sorak Mountain. The next rock isn't that big and if you push the rock with a couple of people the rock will shake. Then that night we had a talent show and a disguise competition and the place for the talent show gets a lot of money. There were a lot of shows but I liked the one my friend did and he won 1st place but he didn't get as much money as they were supposed to get so I felt sorry for him. And the disguise contest was really funny but it was too long so we slept really late that day.

The next day we went around some places and head home. On the way home we watched a movie called 'A series of unfortunate events' and it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. The movie ended and so did the boring but fun school trip.

On Friday my family and I went to our cousins' place to celebrate our grandpa's birthday and other's birthday too. I was so excited about the trip so I was going nuts because school won't end quickly and I had to clean the classroom for being late for class. I took my money so we could buy good stuff there and my cubes so we could play with it. On the train I was really bored because my dad said it'll take two hours to get there and I had nothing to do except playing with my cubes. Playing with the cubes is fun but if I do it for two whole hours my brain will fry. When we finally got there we had to ride the subway for ten minutes then ride a taxi for another ten minutes to get to our cousins' place. When we got there it was late so we did the celebration thing fast then play until we were tired. The next day I got up and played games on our cousins' cell phone until breakfast was served. In the afternoon we went out to play table tennis but we couldn't find it so we looked for a bowling place. But they were doing a contest so there were no empty places. When we lost hope and tried to go home we found a table tennis place. We played table tennis and I was good but my brothers were terrible at the game. So I only played with our cousins for an hour. Then it was lunch time so we went to Mc Donald's and we all ate big hamburgers so we were full but when our dad said ice cream my stomach got empty. We played until it was time to go home witch is in Taejon that is far from here so it will take two hours to get there. So we packed, said good bye, and went to the train station. When we got there we had two whole hours of spare time so we hung around at the mall witch was right next to the station. Our mom and aunt went to some other place and our dad and we went to look for a book store. But we couldn't find it so we walked around meaning less for almost two whole hours until we found a book store. There were no English comics but I kept on looking for them but when I saw a card game I wanted to buy it but I had no money so I couldn't buy it so we just left. After that we came home riding a boring train boringly for two whole boring hours.

I went to watch Spider-man 3 again but this time with my friends. Before Leo called me I was bored so when he called me to watch the movie, I definitely said yes and we all went to see Spider-man 3 for the first time except for me. Before we went to the movies I went to Leo's place and waited for Enoch to arrive. We played video games and hung around for a long time that felt like a decade. Then Enoch came and we went to see the movie. When we got to the theater there were a lot of people there but when we went inside to watch the movie there weren't a lot of people. While we were watching I wanted to tell them what will happen and stuff but I didn't want to spoil the movie so I just relaxed and enjoyed the movie. When it ended my friends didn't really like the movie because there wasn't enough action. But I think it was great and I think all the movies I watched were great. I like all the movies but I don't know why a lot of people complain about the movie instead of enjoying it.

I watched 'Spider-man 3' with my family and it was great. I was really excited when I heard we were going to see it. There were three new villains and one was the new goblin. The first villain Harry, the spider-man's best friend tried to kill him but at the end he helps spider-man. The second villain was the sandman and he just wanted to save his daughter from dying. But he stole the money to save his daughter and I think he should just work for the money. And the last one is the venom and when it first attached to spider-man it made him so bad that he did really bad things to people he cared about. So spider-man made the venom off of him but the venom attached to Edie and made him into another villain. He and sandman together tried to kill spider-man but at the end sandman left spider-man because all he cared about was his daughter and the venom and Edie were destroyed together by a bomb. That's the end of spider-man but I wish there were more spider-man movies.

My family and I went to a park-like place to hang out with some people we know. Our parents forgot to bring the sausages so they went back to get it. While they where gone I rode a bike that wasn't mine and I thought the owner wouldn't mind. But when he saw me they chased me so I ran away and that continued. Finally they caught me because I fell off the bike when I tried to go through the bushes. My pants got dirty by the flowers and I got scratches everywhere so it was really painful. Later on our parents came so we ate hot dogs and other stuff but I wasn't hungry so I only ate one hot dog. Then we went to the basketball court and shot some hoops until we were bored. When we were bored we went back and I saw a bike so I hopped on and rode until it was time for a snack. And when I was trying to ride the bike again the owner was riding it. So I went to watch other people ride bikes and scooters and stuff. Then I played with my cube for a while and the sun set so we all came home. Next time I'm going to bring my own bike.

April 27th is my birthday but I had to study for the big exam. It was my birthday and I had to study all day and I got only one hour of free time. School stank and I was tired plus I had to go to two hakwons. But my brothers bought me a pyraminx for my birthday present witch is a cube shaped like a pyramid. Plus my dad ordered a 4x4x4 cube witch is also a cube but it is bigger and harder to solve. In my free time I worked hard to solve the pyraminx but when I was done I noticed it was really easy to solve. But the 4x4x4 cube was really hard but when I did half of it I did the rest with my 3x3x3 cube solving mind. While it was free time I was happy like I got a million dollars but when it was study time again it was like my dog got sick. I studied hard so my dad gave me lots of the green stuff so I was happy like a squirrel with an acorn. My mom said she was going to buy me an ice cream cake but she didn't buy it but she said she'll buy it when the big exam is over. So I had to wait and I'm still waiting.

On 7pm some friends and I went to the constellation festival. We were early so we looked around and found my classmates that explains stuff like planets and stars. I listened it about seven times so I remembered everything. I helped them like holding the flashlight and stuff so Time past like an arrow so before I knew it, it was 9pm. I looked for my friends but they were all gone. I borrowed a cellphone and called my dad about it and he told me to wait at the bus stop to wait for my brothers. I asked him if he could come but he was at his friends house so he couldn't come to me. So I waited but they didn't come and I missed four buses so I got mad. A few minutes later I saw John and James on bikes. They gave me the bus card and left me behind. I waited for 20minutes then the bus came. When I came home it was already 11pm so I went to sleep when I got there. It was a really really supid day the end.

Two days ago at Virginia Tech a terrible thing happened. About 30 people were shot by a Korean student. He went through 4 classes and shot everywhere with no reason. Some students there even jumped out the window to survive. Even though the students could have stopped him from shooting but they were all afraid so some of them died or got injured. The weird thing is that there were a lot of time to stop the madness but nobody tried. Nobody knows the real reason that he did this but I think that he couldn't control himself and his loneliness. He couldn't control his temper so he got mad and shot people. And he had no friends that could talk about his problems so he just exploded. I feel sorry about his loneliness and his victims. And I wish there would be no more lonely people.
