Taylor Lautner's Chest Gets A Movie?!



Coming soon to theaters near you, "Abduction" featuring Taylor Lautner...and several other famous actors that don't really matter. Abduction is a story about a boy Nathan, played by Taylor Lautner and his amazing body. Nathan is a troubled partier who accidentally finds out that his parents aren't his real parents, and that the CIA and quasi-Slavic hoods are after him. Somehow the movie turns into an action packed thriller with some erotic love scenes here and there. Director John Singleton, is actually very smart. He knows that his movie really isn't that good, BUT throw a teen sensation in there, have him take his shirt off a couple times, and guaranteed your movie will sell out the first week it's in theaters. Just knowing "Abduction" features this Twilight Saga hottie, it's a given that it will be extremely successful. Most defiantly sucking in crazed "Team Jacob" fans, ages 10-16.

I love the authors writing style in this article. He speaks his mind and feels no obligation to say anything good about "Abduction" what so ever. Now that's what I call a good movie critic! O'hehir compares "Abduction" to a knock of "Bourne Identity" several times throughout the article. I am able to admit that I am a Taylor Lautner fan, but he is not an incredible actor as O'hehir also mentions multiple times in his review. "'Abduction' may win the 2011 prize for wasting good actors in absolute balderdash" This film also features well known actors such as Sigourney Weaver, Alfred Molina, Michael Nyqvist and Lilly Collins, but their roles do no justice for them. Although the poor reviews of "Abduction" the movie will do just fine in theaters thanks to Team Jacob's crazed teenage girl die hards.

Can you consider yourself a "twitterer" or "tweeter"? If so, you will be able to easily relate to this post. Twitter is taking over the world, basically. Lately its quite impossible to find someone who doesn't have a twitter account or hasn't considered one. Twitter is the new black, the new Facebook. Everyone and their mother wants one these days. Twitter started thanks to a 10-person start up group out of San Francisco, called Obvious. With over 200 million users, twitter is used by the world for a variety of tasks, emails, advertisment, and of course social networking. By one quick tweet you are able to share with the entire world your latest thoughts, whereabouts, and all time favorite, complaints. Whether its a, #Happytweet, #Sadtweet, or #Angrytweet your able to post that sucker just about anywhere, in between classes, on your morning commute, or laying in your bed at night. Twitter's accessibility and publicity has influenced its growth the past couple of years. Businesses and celebrities use it as an advantage to promote new albums or products etc. Its a whole lot more than just simply a social network.

The author of this article clearly understood who their audience was going to be, tweeters, soon to be tweeters and curious soon to be soon to be tweeters. As well as making the article easy to read and relateable, they also used statistics and hard facts to show how extremely successful twitter is becoming. The author uses comic relief and interesting facts to keep the reader interested and wanting more. I was able to relate to this article very well because I am a proud user of twitter, and love to admit that I am obsessed. As long as you can share what's on your mind in 140 characters or less twitter is the thing for you!
