"Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" Movie Review

So yesterday my dad and I went to our local AMC movie theater to see the new and much-awaited "Prince of Persia" movie distributed by Walt Disney Pictures and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Films and this film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as the title role and leading male and Gemma Arterton as his love interest and Sir Ben Kingsley as the evil anti-hero Nizam. My dad and I went to the 5:15 showing of "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" in Theater 9 at the AMC Eastridge 15 Movie Theater at Eastridge Mall in San Jose, California, USA on Saturday, May 29, 2010, one day after the movie was released. I thought Jake and Gemma were great choices for the film and the locations were amazing, the Middle Eastern background music seemed to fit with the movie, and that young kid who played the younger version of Jake's character, Prince Dastan, was amazing. The film tells of a young street urchin named Dastan who is adopted by the King of Persia and fifteen years later, Dastan and his adopted brothers lay siege on the city of Alamut and Dastan falls in love with Princess Tamina and when Dastan is falsely accused of something he didn't do, assassinate his own father, the prince and the princess must find the Sands of Time and save the world from Nizam. I highly recommend the film! Five stars! I want to see The Karate Kid, releasing June 11, 2010, and starring Jaden Smith as the Karate Kid and Jackie Chan as his teacher, I am expecting the same awesomes! Go watch it, it is FANTASTIC, don't listen to the critics. 5 STARS!

President Barack Obama's Second San Francisco Visit

United States President Barack Hussein Obama is in the San Francisco Bay Area for nineteen hours. He arrived at San Francisco International Airport in San Francisco, California to rainy weather and cold temperatures at around 5:19 PM local time on Tuesady, May 25, 2010, today. Upon touching down at SFO this evening, the President of the United States seemed to salute San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and Mr. Newsom threw up his hands as if to say, "Dude, what the heck are you doing? You're not supposed to salute me!", after exchanging a brief talk, the president hopped into his limousine and drove to San Francisco through Highway 280 traffic and the motorcade was met with protesters and fans alike. It was a beautiful and exciting moment, I wish I got a chance to meet the President of the United States. The President is in town for a fundraising dinner for Senator Barbara Boxer. Security was tight and there were more police officers and routes were altered and the President's visit was covered by local media and the media was at the airport and they saw Air Force One land. It was a great time! This is the President's second visit to San Francisco, his first one was in October 15, 2009. Enjoy!

A Convenient Truth: Meeting Al Gore in Monterey, California

I am back! And you know what that means! I have a brilliant blog story to share with you all. Today, Monday, May 17, 2010, at California State University Monterey Bay in Monterey, California, a lecture presented by the university's Panetta Institute of Public Policy on the environmental climate change facing our nation and the world featured former Vice President of the United States and famous author, Al Gore, and moderated by award-winning journalist Frank Cesno, and our class, along with our teachers, Mr. Mansfield and Mr. Yau, got to attend and hear Mr. Gore speak live and in person. I sat in the very front row and had a good view of Mr. Gore talking with the moderator about the issue of global warming. The talk moved me very much and it made me realize that our Earth is very precious and we must do all we can to save our beloved mother planet. Mr. Gore was really cool, he was funny and a very talented speaker. I enjoyed it very much! What a day! Oh yeah, livin' the dream!
