Movie Reviewz- Valkyrie
Hey everyone, I'm back! Thanks anyway for the not-so-bad responses coming in from my classmates and teachers, I really appreciate them. Something to repay for? Definitely yes! Here's the absolutely new segment in my blog---Movie Reviewz. from the name, you will know that I'll be introducing movies that I've watched thus far (not that old, but exciting ones). Here's the first Movie reviewz, hope you all like it!
Movie Reviewz- Valkyrie
Valkyrie is a true story that depicts the assasination plot targeting Adolf Hitler in the middle 20th century. The main character in this enthrilling film is Colonel Claus von Stauffenburg, the guy who planned the plot. He is played by the all-famous Tom Cruise. It involves a secret plan to assasinate the most evil tyrants on Earth, the German war dictator Adolf Hitler. The plot starts when Stauffenburg is evacuated back to Nazi Germany after he was wounded in Tunisia.
Meanwhile, the first minor assasination plot was carried out. Major General Henning von Treschow attempted an assasination by setting up a bomb onboard the Fuhrer's personal airplane. It did not succeed, as it failed to detonate but Treschow managed to retrieve it. Later, Stauffenburg is recruited into the German Resistance after Major General Hans Oster is arrested. The German Resistance is a group targeted to kill Adolf Hitler for a good cause (duh).
The idea of Operation Valkyrie (In German, Walkure) was developed and von Stauffenburg brings it to the German Resistance. the overall plot is to maintain order while deploying the Reserve army. Then they can destroy the Nazi regime after assassinating Hitler. However, realising that only General Fromm can only initiate Operation Valkyrie, they seek help from him. Fromm refuses to agree to the terms but after a few rounds of negotiations, they succeed but Fromm still refuses to be directly involved with Valkyrie. As such, the rewritten order needs Hitler's signature (which is literally impossible). Luckily, with help from von Stauffenburg's inner circle, Hitler praises von Stuffenburg's heroism in North Africa and signs the orders without looking carefully at the modifications.
At the final briefing, Colonel Mertz von Quirnheim instructs the commitee members to use pencil detonators (bombs). Von Stauffenburg also persuades General Fellegiebel to cut off all communications after the bomb detonation. Then, on July 15, 1944, von Stauffenburg attends a strategy meeting at Wolf's Lair. But without Himmler's reply, von Stauffenburg does not get the order to go-ahead until the meeting is over. With the plan not going to order, von Stauffenburg safely extracts himself and the undetonated bomb from the bunker. Although this plan did not take action, they had another crucial chance. On July 20th 1944, another conference was held. Von Stauffenburg and Lieutenant Haeften attended the conference with their pencil detonators.
What will happen next? Will the bomb detonate powerful enough to kill Hitler? Will operation Valkyrie be carried out successfully? Watch the movie yourself to find out!
Overall Rating=> 4/5

Book Review 4-Simon Bloom (The Octopus Effect) - Michael Reisman
YAY! Here's my last required book review for Term 3. Hope you guys like it!
Book Review 4: Simon Bloom (The Octopus Effect) by Michael Reisman
This book is a continuation of Simon Bloom (The Gravity Keeper), so I should say that this is Book No.2.
Firslty, let me introduce this book to you. So in this world, there's this Knowledge Union, a secret organization responsible for making sure that the universe runs smoothly. This is already wierd: I don't even know this! (But yep, it's only a story) The most important people in The Knowledge Union is the Board Of Administration who then looks after The Council Of Sciences.They are like the Parliament of Singapore and some VIPs. Following that, it divides into three main groups: The Order Of Physics, The Order Of Chemistry and The Order Of Biology. Actually,there's one more group that's also important in this thrrrrrrrrrrrillllllling story: the Historical Society. They are the persona of the story, or I should say, the narrator.
Then comes the main characters. Simon Bloom is the Keeper Of Physics (in this book, yes, but in the previous, he's the co-keeper). He controls the gravity that pulls us to the ground, and can make things get extremely heavy or extremely light. He is joined by two of his friends: Owen Walters and Alysha Davis. Owen controls direction and speed, while Alysha can discharge electricity. However, not all things in the world runs smoothly. There will be bad guys who would LOVE TO blow up the universe (not me). Especially this woman called Sirabetta, or in her Union nickname, Sir. She's a rebel of the Union (if I'm not wrong), and she had already fought with Simon Bloom in the previous book. She lost, and was turned into a thirteen year-old teenager.
In this book, however, a few of the order members decided to rebel and made Sirabetta to return to her former self. Simon and his friends must follow Sirabetta to the Order Of Biology realm, a vast undersea dome filled with harsh terrain and fearsome monsters. They will get some needed help from their old friends and also use some biology to absorb some wild abilities! Yep. And another WAR happens and ya, an EPIC battle of EPIC proportions. What are you waiting for? Grab that EPIC book for the library or any bookstore NOW! While Stocks Last! (Wait a minute, this is not an advertisement)\
I would give it a EXCELLENT rating as this book already entices me to continue reading and reading it! Hope you guys like it!!!

Book Review 3-The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Hey peeps, I'm back again. Need to hurry, coz the deadline is very near!
So here's my third book review:
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
This exciting book was written over 100 years ago, but it doesn't matter, because in the end, the story is still appealing to readers. This book, along with The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, is one of the most famous books of that time until now. Tom Sawyer depicted Mark Twain as a child, with a few of his childhood friends are also written inside the book (the names have been changed).
If I'm not wrong, the story is set in the 1840's or so in Missouri along the Mississipi River. Aunt Polly is raising Tom, his half-brother, Sid, and Mary. Sid and Mary are good children. Tom, on the other hand, is always in trouble. Even when he doesn't do something wrong, he finds a way to be in trouble. When the weather is good, he skips school and goes swimming. He goes out and plays Robin Hood (extremely familiar name- reincarnated or what?) with his friend Joe Harper when he should be studying. He sneaks out at midnight to meet Huckleberry Finn at the graveyard with a dead cat (something to ponder about? CREEPY). Aunt Polly keeps trying to get Tom to behave, but yeah, boys are boys. You should know why.
Tom knows how to exchange treasures for his own gain. He uses his treasures to get a Bible, show his love, or bribe a friend. He is a young entrepreneur of his age. Not bad, eh? I wish I could be like him, but alas, I'm a youth now....
Once, they went into a cemetery for some fun adventure. However, it brought extra trouble for them. They witnessed a murder. Afraid of their own lives, they swore to keep quiet. They knew Injun Joe would kill them as well if he knew they had seen his act. Now what do they do?
Tom is unforgettable and this book is just right for the young and young-at-heart. I would strongly recommend this American classic. It's definitely worth reading and re-reading. The books shows the joy of childhood as well as the acceptance of change.
Actually, I really don't know how long should we write for a single book review. Some write very very very long, while others are extremely short. Can someone answer my questions? Thanks.
