Allie's Story
Four years ago, I rescued a bearded dragon lizard named Alice. Alice turned into Allie. Allie was a sweet bearded dragon lizard. We didn't know her approximate age so we were told she was seven to nine months old. While I didn't have enough information on her, I dived right in to a world I didn't know anything about bearded dragon lizards. There is a lot of conflicting information about them and due to that conflicting information, I didn't know if I was doing everything right. When I asked her previous owner about what she ate, she told me to look it up and that was it. I went website to website, looking for information, looking for things she would need for a happy long life with me.

The 'Planet of the Apes' Movies
I've been a long time fan of the Planet of the Apes television series and movies. I looked at each of these movies with a critical, inquisitive eye. I was happy to hear about a remake being a fan of the original series. The original series left me with more questions.The original series and movies have a place in my heart. The original series were hard to come by unless you were able to get the Syfy Channel or find something on Youtube. The first time I watched the original Planet of the Apes with Charleton Heston, it was amazing! You could tell it was a planet, but everything had changed. The more I watched, the more questions I had. How did this civilization come into play? How did Apes become 'masters' of this world where humans are almost extinct? As I started to watch the other movies, I continued to think about Cornelius and Zira giving birth to Caesar. It all made sense as Caesar continued to fight for himself and the humans living peacefully beside them in an ape village. Humans were a work force for the apes, but they were at least able to speak. Then comes a remake of Planet of the Apes. To be honest, I wasn't really a fan of this movie because, while it did have the apes, I personally didn't like the movie all that much. The ending was excellent, but we all had a question of what happened to the human that crash landed? What happened to him? We can only guess what happened to him. People would probably wonder why there wasn't a second Planet of the Apes movie with Mark Wahlberg. It would have had answers to what happened to him. But my guess is the ratings weren't that good for this movie. Then the newest Planet of the Apes movies came out. Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and War for the Planet of the Apes. These movies are more realistic to that of modern day apes and are more believable. Classics remade are sometimes the best way to introduce new, fresh ideas, but there are classics that shouldn't be remade because the people don't know the series. Plus, Andy Serkis is a good actor in these movies. He plays a good Caesar as Roddy McDowall did in the original series.
