Teen Wolf Review

When the T.V show Teen Wolf came out, the next day I found out that it was free on my itunes so I figured... Why not? Looks like a decent show with all this Supernatural stuff and all. So I watched it.

For starters the show Teen Wolf is about well- a Werewolf that is a teenager. So it starts with this boy in high school. Its the first day and everything good happens to him. He gets a spot on the lacrosse team and gets the girl. Then his friend notices something strange, he is showing symptoms of a wolf bite- a werewolf bite.

So the show is interesting. It kept me hooked for a while. Even though the plot is basic, nothing special, the show proves to be a valuable T.V show thats worth watching. It is really cool when he turns into a wolf.

Another reason why I like this show is because it is not just for girls. I bet boys do not really dream of watching Pretty Little Liars and that they would rather watch this show. They actually might be hooked onto it.

Overall I would recommend Teen Wolf, it is a good show- but comes below Vampire Diaries and above Chloe King and Pretty Little Liars.

Schools Out!

Can you believe it? I can't. Im serious. It seemed like yesterday we were starting school. Anyway ill be busy for the first 2 weeks of school, but after that i'll try to post often. I will review the movies: Sucker Punch, Harry Potter and the deathly hallows p2, Cowboys & aliens, Another Earth and plenty more so stay tuned.

Ugh... I have this awful feeling when school ends. I just want to go back for some reason.

Hereafter Review

So late last night I decided to watch the Clint Eastwood film, Hereafter. After seeing the trailer, I was drawn to the storyline of the film, which is about death and the afterlife.

So basically Hereafter is a movie about 3 people, a french woman who almost died in a tsunami, a american physic who can connect with the afterlife and a boy who was traumatized by someones death. This is about how these 3 people find each other.

Overall I liked the movie, but it was very slow. The beginning shows the roots of the 3 people, but still drags on. Their journey was quite slow ,but it got exciting near the end where they finally intersected with each other.

I thought the movie, personally was lacking in musical elements. Music is what gives "power" to movies, so I thought that it made the movie lack power and emotion in a way.

Acting was good, a highlight in the film. These actors and actresses really conveyed the emotions of the characters that they portrayed in the film.

I do respect Clint Eastwood and agree that he directed this film well, but the other elements should of been more emphasized.

Also another strength in the film is the plot, it is kind of like a puzzle, things happen and a couple minutes later you are finally able to piece them together.

Overall Hereafter is a good film, I would recommend it if you like Clint Eastwood films and enjoy learning about afterlife and supernatural aspects of our world. Also I would recommend it if you are a film and movie fan (Like me)!!

Saturday!!!

So happy Saturday! I am so happy that school is almost over! Well I love school-work, I like to be busy,but at the end of the year stuff tends to get a little tiresome. Teachers don't do anything with us, really. On Friday we had our last math class, now Monday is pretty much going to be the last school day. We have a trip on Tuesday and Wednesday is the last day.

So my week was fine. Do you know why I am happy? I won 4 awards!!! Im not graduating or anything but at the awards ceremony, I got 4 awards: Math achievement award, English achievement award, honour roll and french effort!! Yay! 

Im also Really Sorry! I wasn't able to watch The Art Of Getting By, for apparently it had so many bad reviews that they took it out of my theatres for this weekend. I will try though!

Another thing, the tree of life looks really good. So I added it to my top 7 (now 8) movies to see this summer! Looks amazing!!!!!!

Ok thats it for my update! I'll check back on more media tomorrow!!

Tangled Movie Review

Today I will review the movie Tangled. In case your mind is a bit foggy, here is the poster for the movie.

So this movie is a double take of the story Rupunzel. I actually enjoyed what Disney added to the film, adding the whole aspect of the magical plant and how it made Rupunzel. Also when I watched it, the music wasn't that bad, it was actually very catchy. At the beginning she sings this song- about her typical day. I couldn't get it out of my head for the entire day.

So the movie is typically about Rupunzel, she lives in a tower and is isolated, she only sees her "Mother" every day. The "Mother" just uses her power to make the mother stay young. One day, Rupunzel meets Flyn Ryder, a criminal. She then forces him to escape with her so she can see the light ceremony which is held on her birthday.

So the aspects of this movie were the typical disney. I have to say that the animation was amazing. Of coarse, I don't do animation but I still have seen the improvement of it through the years and what we got to turned out amazing.

Tangled. Well I have to say, I saw it in theatres, but I re-watched it later, the 3D wasn't really worth it. The movie was great but in 3D? I get headaches!!!

Well overall the movie Tangled is a perfect movie for a family night or babysitting. I would highly recommend it because it is funny and appeals to older audiences too!

The Game-Review!!

Alyssa Reid came out with her new album: The Game today! I pre-ordered it on itunes and I was so excited after I heard it on First Spin!! So now I will go through the track listing with you! I can't get these songs from youtube so I will just give you the muchmusic link!

Tracks:

1. Letting Go:I love this song, it really shows off her voice. But its WAY too short!! I wish it was longer and whats with the "Hello and...Welcome" at the end.....

2. The Game: It sounds like alone again... But it is still a great,catchy song! "It's all part of the game,the game,the game, we all play the same"

3. XO: This is a total party song, I could so hear in clubs at night where people are dancing. "I gave you my heeeaaarrrrtttt!!!"

4. Alone Again: I told you already this is a great remake!!! Also the rap is better than most raps because I can actually understand and sing along with it!! " Till now, I always got by on my own, I never really cared until I met you"

5. Interlude: This is like intermission.... I don't getr why we need it in a CD... But there was something like this in the Owl City CD.

6. Talk Me Down: This is a good song, it has good meaning. Its like a encouragement song. " You can't talk me down, cause i'm here now"

7. The Dark Side: I like this song, again a club song. But it has a different style than XO. I can imagine the cover of the album being the single cover for this song for some reason.
" I come to life"

8. Go: I like this song, just a song with a good beat. This is a good song for like a walk or jog. I just liked it!!
"Even if you care, I wouldn't dare to follow"

9.Without You: more like the song go. Good beat. Good meaning. It's about losing someone. I think.
"I finally made it here without you"

10. Burned:This song is slower, It kinda says that she wants to get revenge on someone, but she's already been hurt too much to get them back. "But if you play with fire, you always get burned"

11. Live to tell: I like this song, its really encouraging. It tells you that you're not alone. I also love the instruments used in this song. "you're not alone, but theres more to this I know"

12-13 are just different versions of "Alone Again"

14. Watch Me Soar:(Exclusive to itunes) I love this song. It will probably be my favourite of the album. Its has the same message as "Mean" by Taylor Swift. It says that you can pick on me, but no matter what one day I will be free and you can "Watch me soar". This can apply to anyone, bullies or people who are mean to you.

15: Alone Again (Acoustic) I like this version, it is more like the Celine Dion version and the Heart version than the other Alone Again versions.

So overall I like this album and would rate it high (7.5-8.5 stars). If you like pop, you would love this album. There are songs on this album for both pop lovers and slow song lovers. There is also many songs with actual meaning, unlike some of the pop songs these days. Also buy it on itunes to get the song "Watch Me Soar".

Here is the link to listen to it. http://www.muchmusic.com/music/firstspin/alyssareid/
(Watch Me Soar isen't on it because it is exclusive to itunes)

Nine Lives of Chloe King vs Switched at birth

So over the weekend I decided to watch "The Nine Lives Of Chloe King" . Since this show is new, i'm sure that not everyone has heard of it. This show is about a girl- Chloe King, she is adopted and on her 16th birthday she discovers she has superpowers, like hearing,speed, vision and dogs hate her. I'm not going to give too much of it away, but it is a decent show. The acting is decent, the story line is good-  but not exactly original. Chloe's powers are like some superheros- like long nails etc.

I did find that this show was dirtier than the rest of the shows I was watching before (Pretty Little Liars,The Vampire Diaries). I was watching this with my brother, and he enjoyed it. I think he likes the whole "cat" idea though.

Overall the show wasn't bad, but it wasn't "Great". I hope it gets better, because this is only the first episode. If you liked Pretty Little Liars, I think you will like this show.

Switched at birth

Switched at birth is a show about 2 girls who discover that they were switched when they were born, their parents aren't actually their parents. When they meet the other family with the wrong kid, they get into lots of drama and fights-and awkwardness.

I have to say that I enjoyed switched at birth more than Chloe King because I found that the plot was more developed and the beginning was better explained. Also Switched At Birth was more realistic. 

Both are from ABC family, and they feature the same types of cameras and music. But the plots were both different. 

Overall, Switched at birth wins the battle, but the nine lives of chloe king comes in closely. 

Alyssa Reid Album

Guess What? I was finally able to listen to Alyssa Reids new CD. On much, first spins they have her whole album that you can listen to!!!!! She is so talented and has such a unique style of music!!!

Super 8 Review!!!

I finally saw Super 8 and now i'm Super happy!!!!! Okay so here is my review for it:

Super 8 was a great film. But it wasn't a great film for the obvious reasons. I have to say that even when Spielberg wasn't directing and was producing, the film still had the "Spielberg" magic to it. I don't know, but I just find that his film have a certain magic, one that makes you smile to it.

Super 8 was about a train crash, witnessed by some kids ( I think older than me), they then noticed some things strange happening around town. They then realize that something escaped from the train...

This movie is more thriller and mystery then anything. There are many parts that make you jump, but its not that scary!!

The acting was awesome. I have to say that Elle Fanning brang it together and was really good. So were all the kids really.

The cinematography was really good, but what do you expect from jj Abrams (Star Trek)and Spielberg???? Amazing lighting angles and everything!! Could even be "Magical" .

My favourite part of the movie was the plot. It was surprising and really unexpected. It was set in my parents generation and the kids, their actions were really easy to relate to. Thats why I thought the movie was really funny too!!!

Overall Super 8 was a spectacular film and is a perfect summer film and I would recommend you to see it!!!

Owl City's new album!!

Okay so right now im listening to the new album from Owl City!! All things bright and beautiful!!! Here are the top songs and what I think.

Okay so Owl City is so talented. He thinks in such a witty and creative way, which makes him and his songs so likable!!! I was waiting for this CD forever and finally!!!! Its out!!!!

I own his other CD (Ocean Eyes) and it is amazing, perfect for summer and spring!! I listen to it when jumping on my trampoline! I love the songs Fireflies,Vanilla Twilight,Umbrella Beach,Hello Seattle, Dental Care & on the wing!!!

So his new CD is not a disappointment to us, actually better than the first. There are way more different styles of songs on this CD, and I would recommend it!!

TOP SONGS:

The Real World: I can so relate to this!!

 Deer in the headlights: I just love the tune!!

Dreams don't turn to dust: Awesome song!!!!!

FT Lights!!! I love Lights and owl city!! Also the melody is really nice!!



Also I love the non rap version of alligator sky... Just so much more meaningful!

X Men!!!

After seeing X men first class, I decided that It was time that I re-watched the movies in the X men trilogy. I will review all three here. But not in too much detail.

X Men

I thought this movie was very interesting .It probably had the most humour of the 3 movies. This movie conveyed the back drop stories of the characters (Rogue, Wolverine). It also introduces magneto and mystique in a interesting way. Sabertooth is cool!!So the plotline for this movie is about the first epic fight with wolverine. They are trying to turn the humans into mutants to see what it feels like to be a mutant. 

The special effects were cool in this movie, the acting was O.K. I think that it improved throughout the series. 

Another thing is that marvel has amazing intro titles! I love the way the music and animation works. They are probably the best element. Spiderman is the example of THE BEST titles!

So This movie was great, one of the best.

X2 United

I thought this one was the best one of the trilogy. I love the fact that they have to work together to defeat the enemy. Also it is very unpredictable (Unless you read the comics). This one was very well done too. The acting also took a leap forwards.

One thing I recognized in this film is that Rouges relationship with wolverine tends to change. They are not as supportive as one another as they were in the previous movie. But nevertheless, still the best one.

X-Men the final stand

I liked this, but didn't love it. The harsh reviews were a little- harsh, but the movie still was good. 

In this movie they stand up to the final fight, a cure was found for the mutants and they have to choose to take it, or stand up.

The reason why I didn't love it was because everything seemed to happen all at once. Things weren't explained and there was one logical solution to all the problems.(I won't say what I thought it was).

But the acting was the best in this one in my opinion. Also they introduced the "Girl that can walk through walls" more in this movie! Its Ellen Page!!!!!! From Inception!

So that is all right now for my reviews for X-men! TTYL!

The Hunger Games!!!

Incase you guys don't know I am a huge fan of the Hunger Games and I wanted to share my opinions on the movie with you guys (and the books).

Overall the books are amazing but my all time favourite is the first one!!!! Suzanne Collins is such an amazing writer and when I heard about it, I was grossed out. I thought that killing to death was a gross idea. But this had way more meaning! I even got my mom hooked on the series.

The casting. Lots of people complained about Jennifer Lawerence as Katniss. Im not! She is an amazing actress and I just love her acting in X-Men First Class and Winter's Bone! She just has all the spunk and ablities to play Katniss. Guess What? They can dye her hair brown so don't worry!

Josh Hutcherson as Peeta... Yeah they can make him Peetaish. He can act. Thats important. Dye his hair blonde and he can be Peeta. Think about his performance in Bridge to Terabithia, he truly communicated his feelings to the audience. 

Liam Hemsworth as Gale. Yes he is an O.K actor. But he sort of looks like Gale! They can dye his hair too! And change his appearance.

Recommended songs!

This has taken me a while, because I didn't see any songs that you might like, but here we go!

I was looking at artists on itunes and I came across lights. I have to say that I found a couple of songs that I thought were meaningful and that this is kind of like the girl owl city. But with more down-to- earth emotion. (I love owl city and his imagination)

I loved the songs Saviour and Second go. They are both the most popular songs on the album, but that is not why I like them. They both have the best rhythm and beat to them. The acrostic versions are really good too!

I have to say though, that the second go music video is taken in all one shot, which is cool. But I would've liked it better if it was taken with various shots.

Another song that I loved is by Christina Perri. I wrote on my twitter that I really liked it! Its called "Arms". Its amazing and has meaning to it.Christina Perri has an amazing voice and a song style like no other!Also I love the cinematographic angles and creative point of views in her videos! It really makes them unique!

Events:

Super 8 is out on Friday!!

21 days until the last day of school!!!

New Stuff!

M.T.V movie awards were 2 days ago and the hype is still on. Why? Twilight won. Surprise, Surprise. This was voted by teens so it is the most popular movie. But not necessary the best.Although it was still not bad.

Anyhow they released the new trailer with Robert and Kirsten AKA Bella and Eddy. I did read the book and it was the only Twilight book I have read.

They also released the official clip from HP7 part 2!! Super exciting! Ahhhh!!

I am so excited to see super 8 as well! Steven Spielberg one of my favourite directors is producing! I couldn't find the clip on youtube though.

Well to wrap it up. The awards were fine. But if Twilight was competing, it was guaranteed to win, the others didn't have a chance. Also the same with Justin Bieber. (Theres a reason for the oscars, this is peoples choice. Popularity, not quality but sometimes they have a compromise) 

Top 7 movies to see this summer!

X- men first class review

So I have been waiting to see this movie.. Forever and I finally saw it!!!! Here is my review:

So I would say. That they key points in this movie was the plot and acting.

The plot was amazing and the script was really well written. The lines that e people said were really unique and suited their characters.

This is a movie about the orgins of professor x and magento it also features mystique and beasts story as well. I would say that after this movie I got really curious. How did they actually become enemies and how did mystique become so mean? I really hope they make another movie!

The plot was unpredictable and filled with action. I never knew what was going to happen next!

Acting: wow. Was amazing as well. I was very impressed with Jennifer Lawerences acting. I can't wait to see her in the hunger games. Also Lucas till starred. I had no idea he could aact that good. All the acting overall was great. Especially of Erik and Charles.

I also had no idea there was this many stars in the movie! The woman from Bridesmaids was in it too!

Overall if you like films for superheros and action packed movies, this film is for you. Even if you haven't watched the first 3 x men. You will still like this movie!


* Spoiler: Wolverine has an awesome cameo in this movie! It's so funny!!!!!

June 3rd

Today I would like to recommend a song that I discovered through Itunes. When Miranda Cosgrove new EP came out, I demoed all the songs on it because it was "Displaying" on itunes! I never had the chance to listen to it, until a couple weeks ago. I loved it. But then I forgot about it completely! This isn't really a song with "Heartfelt" emotion in it. But it is a power up song... Kind of like intuition, by Selena Gomez and the scene. I would defiantly recommend it for a party!

P.S She does swear (A word)But it isn't major


Coming Up:

X Men First Class!!!
So excited.. I saw the clips for it and It looks to good! Also Mystique is going to be our new Katniss Everdeen!

The Hangover

This week I have been out to "Discover" new types of technology. I made myself a twitter account!!! Yayyy :)!! Another thing? X men is out this weekend! So excited! I will be reviewing that FOR SURE!!

So I was sick in bed for half a day on Monday so I decided to watch one of my favourite movies: The Hangover!


First thing: I DID NOT understand all the joke in it.... But I do enjoy that movie... Especially Allen!

So here is my review for it!

The Hangover was a very unpredictable movie. What would we say about the elements of it? How good was it?

The acting is one of my favourite parts in it! The acting was AMAZING! I wouldn't be able to picture anyone else to play anyone! inappropriate Also if you look closely, you notice that Bridesmaids and the Hangover have several resemblances. Both WEDDINGS and both of them are with different people and have several memorable experiences together.

The 2nd movie? Im not sure!! My parents saw the first and loved it and wouldn't let me see the 2nd one? Why? Because they said that it was SO inappropriate, even for THEM! They said that this one was way funnier too. Maybe all movies don't have to be MAJORLY inappropriate to be funny!

Music... OK. During the movie we are more focused on the situations at hand than the music. But then the music is "cool".


Recommendations for who? Depends on the type of person you are. If you CAN'T STAND swearing. Not for you. But if you love funny movies, this is for you. I liked it. But it was extremely dirty. It was rated R for a reason right?
