Dragon Champion (E.E.Knight)
Title: Dragon Champion
Series: The Age of Fire
Author: E.E.Knight
Released: 2005
Rating: 4.5/5
Basic Plot: AuRon goes through many adventures that take him around the world.
The Take on Dragon Mythology
The best part of this book is what it adds to dragons. These aren't merely awesome lizards flying around. There is a whole social structure and personality. Also, they kill and eat humans in this book. How it's shown makes it seem logical and I happened to always side with AuRon. If you are a fan of dragons you need to pick up this book.
Coming of Age Story
This, above all else, is a coming of age story. AuRon grows (both physically and mentally) throughout the book. He makes mistakes but, by the end, has grown up and made an island of dragons.
Sequels
This book has sequels that I will check out in the future. From what I've read the first two sequels will follow the other dragon children shown in the very start of this book. Personally, I can't wait to read from the POV of the one who felt as though he was betrayed.
Final Thoughts
I picked up this book, originally, because it was about dragons. Luckily it was a good read. It did take me a little bit to get through but that's mainly because of my vacation to California. I don't know when I'll be getting to the sequels.

The Crazies (2010)
Title: The Crazies
Remake: Yes
Director: Breck Eisner
Starring: Radha Mitchell, Timothy Olyphant, and Danielle Panabaker
Rated: R
Released: 2010
Personal Rating: 3.5/5
Oscars: None
Basic Plot: About the inhabitants of a small Iowa town suddenly plagued by insanity and then death after a mysterious toxin contaminates their water supply.
Is It Scary
There are a few tense moments here. revrezner warned me to hold onto my bowl of food for fear I'd throw it up in fear (which didn't happen during the movie). I will say this movie doesn't rely too much on jump scares (except for a few parts). All in all I will say it wasn't that scary. That's not to say I wasn't cracking jokes in order not to stay calm. My last compliment on its scare tactics is that it takes killing people seriously. So them not being zombies is important.
Sequel
revrezner and I discussed the chance of a sequel. It does leave itself open for a sequel. However, I say that the sequel would be the same movie. Except it'll be a different town. So while I would love to see a sequel, it probably wouldn't be worth it. But I would still see a sequel if it came out.
No Real Buildup
This movie is very quick to get into the action. I would've loved to see it build up suspense more. That's really the biggest complaint I have. I was hoping for a nice buildup and then shit goes down. True, there is suspense but not enough. Not nearly enough as there could've been.
Final Thoughts
I have not seen the original so I can't compare it. Though a majority of people seem to think this is better than the original. I did enjoy Timothy Olyphant (the hotness on the screen) was awesome. They did a good job of explaining while holding the mystery. The greatest thing about this movie was the adventure of getting it (though that's a story for another day).
