Whizzing Tripod is a blog title inspired by the novel "War of the Worlds", written by H. G. Wells back in the 19th century. I consider it to be a phenomenal piece of written word from every angle - the choice of the style of storytelling; the core idea (aliens) and how realistically it's presented; the portrayal of people as well as aliens; the conflict and how it develops throughout the story; the machines! On my blog I just publish some occasional rants.

One of the films I probably shouldn’t write a review of is Jennifer’s Body. Jennifer is a high school student, supposedly every boy’s dream date, who does what students do, goes where students go and behaves how students behave. Moreover, a lot of it...
