The Kite Runner (2007)
Disappointing...
i loved the book, but this movie just didn't do it justice. i understand that to fit everything in would have made it six hours long, but if you never read the book (which is a crime in its own right) you missed the whole meaning behind the story. Assef is one of the most important characters in the book, and in the movie he is an insignificant bully. not only that but the movie shortened some important lines and completely cut others, especially from Rahim Khan. they changed other things that just didn't need to be changed like when Assef was reintroduced. the head of the orphanage sent them to see another man for no reason. and Assef didn't give Amir and Sohrab the free getaway which actually would have saved a little time. Assef isn't even German which was a small, but important part of his character and his obsession with Hitler at least explained more of why he was so crazy at the end. oh, i almost forgot i HATED that they gave the blue kite a face. it was unnecessary and leaving it out would have allowed more important things from the book to be put into the movie. the movie on its own was pretty good but just lacked the overall feeling of the book and there were WAY too many pointless changes from the book for me to like it.
Cory in the House (2007)
Great Show
i hated That's so Raven, so i wasn't expecting anything good to come from it. Kyle Massey is actually funny when Raven is not around. this show is hilarious. the characters actually have a meaning. the president and Sophie are always funny, but Newt is still my favorite of the characters.
this is definitely the best show i have seen in years and THE best show on Disney channel. the comedy is even comparable to that of the original to the original ALL THAT. if you are looking for a good laugh with a meaning watch Cory in the house or Scrubs. i cant wait to see where they take the story line
