BOOT REVIEW

Okay, so finally I have been able try out these bad boys. I'm going to keep this short. They were brilliant. The touch was great, the comfort was nice, they were very light, and you can kick that ball pretty dang far with these puppies. So all I have to say is; Amazing.



And now this is right this second my latest shoe I have. Now , you're probably thinking, "Man, this kid gets new shoes every week." Not true. These were a gift from my uncle. Thank you uncle. But anyway, unfortunately I can't use these at the time, due to the indoor soccer season, which is due to a little bit of snow on the ground. Hey for Utah, ten inches isn't a lot! Anyways so I can't give you a review of my boots because I haven't used them, but don't worry I will get to that sometime. Oh but as for the fit, they feel very nice :)



















And now for the most recent boot I've gotten; the Adidas Profi Liga. This shoe is amazing I must say. First off it is very light and isn't made of all that synthetic crap so it fits to your foot quite nicely and provides a nice, clean strike. Second off for $125 it seems like a great deal. It's made of leather and is such a nice boot. The only problem I have is that when I used it when the grass was wet, some of the silver on the front of the shoe came off (yes mine are silver unlike the one in the picture).









So just recently I bought a new pair of cleats, The Umbro Revolution X. This cleat is amazing! It's light, you can strike the ball so hard and so accurately. So if your looking for some new cleats I definitely recommend these. They do run a little wider than the Adidas cleats and most of the Nike cleats. Another cleat I recommend is the Puma v1.08, v5.o8, and.... well pretty much all the Puma's that start with V. This shoe is really light and feels like you're not wearing a shoe, it is made of really thin material, and you get a more accurate stike. Also note that if you get stepped on while wearing these Puma's, you will feel a great deal of pain.
















Moving on to another cleat I had. The Nike Total Ninety Laser. This cleat was good for me because it was wide, really snug, you can chip the ball and get a lot of power with them. One problem is, it tears easily and the studs wear down pretty fast. And when they say "Put it where you want it", in my opinion, they're kinda lying. When you kick the ball, you can control which side of the goal it goes, but after the that, the shoe kinda controls where the ball goes and not you. Maybe I just stink at soccer and can't kick the ball like you professionals out there, but in my opinion there is nothing really special about this cleat.














Moving on to another pair of amazing cleats, The Nike Murcurial SL (super light). You may have seen these fancy boots on Christiano Ronaldo and Didier Drogba's feet. These boots are made of carbon fiber and weigh about 6.5 ounces and cost about $400. These cleats are so special that you can pretty much only find them online at big, famous soccer websites, such as World Soccer Shop, or Eurosport.

This is my campaign video. I hate it, but... yeah. Special thanks to my cousin Mckelle for being the old lady and the thief, Jorgen for being the girl, Jensen for filming and kicking a ball, and Ali for driving the car and pushing the brake, not the gas and taking my life.

My Movie Critiquing

My top ten favorite movies: not in most favorite to lesser favorite order. "Goal!" and "She's the Man" are the two favorites.
School of Rock (Jack Black is Hilarious)

50 First Dates


The Dark Knight


She's the Man (Hilarious)


Goal! The Dream Begins (Best Movie Ever!)

Nacho Libre

The Longest Yard


The Italian Job

(Charlize Theron is a babe. Just sayin)


The Benchwarmers (another hilarious one)


Monty Python and the Holy Grail



So I just watched some new movie's this past week and some older ones a lot and here's what I think about them.





Last Wednesday I saw the "Dark Knight". Everyone's been saying "This is the best movie I have ever seen", or "I have to see it or I will cry." I would agree with some of you that I really wanted to see it. This actually was a pretty good movie. It was full of action, the Joker was hilarious, some parts just scared the pants off me and it kept me on the edge of my seat for pretty much the whole movie. But when the movie ended I was a little disappointed. Not to say the movie wasn't good, but I didn't think it was as good as everybody was saying. Sorry to those who have seen and say it's now their favorite movie and to those who really want to see and read this and now don't want to, IT WAS A GOOD MOVIE, and it's totally worth it and everyone should see it. Christian Bale does a fantastic job of being Batman, and Heath Ledger was amazing at the Joker! I would give this movie 4 stars.





Moving on to another movie that just came out on video- "Vantage Point".


This movie was good too. This movie is about the president getting shot during counter- terrorism summit with some Arabian guy. But what's cool is a sectret service guy (Dennis Quaid), one of the people watching and filming the summit(Forest Whitaker) and some other people I don't feel like naming all see the shooter in different vantage points. So it shows what all these people are doing before the shooting, and what they do after the President is shot.


This movie is really cool, has great acting, and very different from other movie's. But one problem is it's kinda repetative, but this movie is still great and I would recommend it to everyone. except if your younger than 11 or 12 cause it's kinda violent and has brief strong language. I would give it 3 1/2 stars.

Then just last night I watched "One Missed Call". (came out on video very recently too) This was probably one of the worst movie's I've ever seen in my life. A: story is completely stupid, since when does your phone call you and tell you when you will die and what your last words will be? B: It wasn't even scary, yeah some parts made me jump, but the whole time I was thinking, "when's it going to get scary?" And C: The acting was pretty sorry. I could only count one good actor and I think she was in for like 3 seconds and didn't talk. I would give this movie 1 star.

Scary but funny incident on market street


So just a few weeks ago I'm in San Fransisco. I was walking down this busy street, my parents were a ways up from me, and this hobo lady, I mean- "economically challenged human", comes up to me and says, "Hey, why don't you put enough money in this box so i can get to the island, PUNK?! There were two things running through my mind at the moment, "Please don't mug me", and what island!! We're in San Fransisco! After that I sorta bolted it and ran to my parents who were laughing their heads off. "What kind of parents are you, Letting your son get assaulted by an economically challenged person?!"
