Movie Reviews - October 15, 2012

Movie Reviews with Brittany

  

The Perks of Being a Wallflower 

Based on the best-selling novel by Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower follows one year in the life of troubled teen, Charlie, as he makes his way through freshmen year of high school. Following the death of his best friend, Charlie is at a loss for how to cope until he meets seniors Sam and her step-brother Patrick. This unlikely duo exposes Charlie to new and not always wonderful experiences that lead to some very interesting life choices.

This coming of age film is highly comforting and, yet, disturbing at times.  Filled with experience that anyone can see themselves in, The Perks of Being a Wallflower will have you laughing and crying at the same time.  It has a plot filled with moments that could break your heart or having you breaking a seam. This quirky comedy-drama will be a must see for the season.

Moonrise Kingdom – on DVD 10/16/12

Following the story of two twelve year old that fall in love and decide to run away, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of how a town is rocked and turned upside down in the wake of the runaways and the storm brewing off the coast of this once peaceful New England town.  And that might not be such as bad thing to happen.  Sam and Suzy are the odd children of this small island town and running away may just be their key to happiness in world where unhappy normality rules.

Visually appealing, this movie connects people with its hilarious and intriguing story line.  The witty dialogue and visual gags will have you fall off your set with laughter.  While still maintaining some very sober moments, the film will catch you from the beginning till it releases you in the end. The overall purpose of the stories appears to be that finding your own happiness is far more important than trying to keep someone else’s.

This Week in the Library - October 15, 2012

  

Hey everyone!

This week is a very big week for the Teen and Young Adult Department at Booth and Dimock Memorial Library. It is Teen Read Week and we have a ton of stuff planned for you guys!

Tuesday night from 3 pm to 8 pm there will be Speed Booking and a Teen Open house. For those of you who do not know what Speed Booking is well you are in store for a treat. Taking the idea of Speed Dating to the library, teens will be given several books to review in a short amount of time.  They can examine the cover, check out the first chapter or skip to the end. They give a quick review as to whether they would like to read it or not. Fun right? Just imagine this with tons of teens running around the room trying to find books they like the best. Fun is in store.

The Open House is a chance for you guys to let people know what we are all about. Pick your favorite book and make a display to bring it for it. Be creative as possible and show everyone some really great books to check out. Do not be afraid to go all out!

Thursday the 18th at 3 pm brings us to Steampunk Bracelet night.  Here is a chance to show off your skills and make some great accessories for yourself or as a gift. For those of you who do not know what the genre Steampunk is, well here is the best way to describe it: "What the past would look it, if the future happened sooner."

To wrap the week up, we will be watching a teen choice movie on Friday; The Outsiders. A great classic movie based off the novel by S.E. Hinton. (A copy of the book is located across from the Teen Desk on the wire display). Be there at 3 pm sharp to get your set and some food to munch on. It is sure to be a real treat.

See you all this week!
