From Bad To Cursed Book Trailer

My friend and I were both looking at good books to read, then we came across the BAD GIRLS DONT DIE series. We both frantically placed the holds for it at the library and looked at the book trailers. We even looked at it for the 2nd book!

From BAD TO CURSED has such an amazing trailer-it didn't give away anything about the book and it was just so well done. Zendeya does such a great job acting in it and really puts herself in the shoes of her character! Can't wait to read this series by Katie Alender!

Entertainment Weekend

This weekend is an entertainment weekend for sure!!! Starting 2 movies that i REALLY want to see are coming out: Anonymous and In Time . Words cannot express how EXCITED I am to see Anonymous, since I didn't get to see it at TIFF!! This director is amazing! 


As for In Time, I would just like to see how Hollywood works with the new concept and how all these big actors and actresses will be playing roles in it! It also just looks cool!


Anyway thats just a heads up on some movies coming out this weekend and for the kids, Puss in boots hits theatres!! 


Happy Halloween!

Once Upon A Time- Review

Once Upon A Time seemed like it was going to be a hit right from the get-go. The whole fairy-tale concept would draw in both audiences adult and children. Adding the fact that it is from the powerhouse writers of lost- Woah. But is the show really as good as everyone says it is?


I have to say, the first episode was a little slow. It seemed to drag on. At the beginning it is Emmas birthday, she then finds her son that she gave birth to 10 years ago and gave away for adoption. He begs her not to take him back to his home, because of his awful mom. But she unwillingly gives him a drive home. He has a fairy tale book with him and claims that "Storybrook" is a town filled with fairy tale characters and that time is frozen by the Evil Queen. 


This episode we see a lot of flashbacks on the past, to make it clearer for us to understand. These flashbacks will be featured in a lot of the episodes. I do find it takes a while for her to figure things out. I mean slow.


So overall, this show is not a lot like Lost. I didn't expect it to be. I think that if this show continues the way it is-it might just get a second season.

Had an awesome weekend!

I am having an awesome weekend! Taking tons of photos with my camera! I went to Stayner where there were all these cool stores and I went to Downtown Collingwood! I will post some photos on my Flickr account on Sunday/Monday.

Just wanted to say that I made a photography blog- where I will post some awesome photos that inspire me and some of my photography experiences and the feelings that you feel when you use a camera and how it produces different emotions. The blog address is kassy98photography.wordpress.com.

Stars-Dead Hearts

I was on youtube yesterday and watching the trailer for Like Crazy (So Excited for that) and I found the name of the song at the beginning. Its called Dead Hearts and its by Stars.

I love this song!!

Such a beautiful song, I love it! There is so much more when you just listen to the whole song instead of the one at the beginning of the trailer!!!

Real Steel Review

Everything about Real Steel seemed filled with stardom. Hugh Jackman starring as the main character, the superb special effects and the futuristic plot. But what realy impacted my thoughts on this movie was the feeling it gave me throughout.

Real Steel is about Charlie (Hugh Jackman) who was a pro boxer, then the whole idea of the games changed. Instead of humans boxing, robots began to box. Charlie loses everything because of his high bets. Everything changed when he had to spend the summer with his sonm Max. Max has a high interest on the robot boxing as well, first Charlie is annoyed. Then when Max finds a robot that happens to work, (ADOM) they work together to repair it and get it ready to box.

Hugh Jackman played his character really well. He conveyed the way the character felt to the audience and I thought that was really important. He seemed to put his heart into the character. Max, was played really good as well.

The plot was well done- but I wouldn't say it was an action movie. Although the plot was lacking some action, I thought it was still heartfelt and interesting. The thing that annoyed me was Max, a some times it seemed like he was a bit of a brat. I just didn't like the way he NEEDED to get what he wanted all the time.

Real Steel is a perfect family movie. The whole family will enjoy it for various reasons, adults will enjoy it. Kids will enjoy it and its a win-win choice. Like it or not Real Steel will be a classic because of its timelessness and style. Expect people to be popping it into their blu-ray players in years to come. B+

50/50 Review

50/50 is a bittersweet comedy about a 27 year old who gets Cancer, and his struggle with friends, family and love along the way. 

The thing that drew me to it was that it was based on a true story- something like this actually happened and it is happening right now. But instead of looking at it in a bad way- all the good parts are squeezed out of this event-Cancer.

This film could've been horrible because of its mix in-between emotions, happiness and sadness. But the director and cast seemed to balance out the feelings in this movie.Rogan's character was probably my favourite in this movie because of his ability to cheer up Adam.

I really did enjoy the way this film was shot, every shot seemed to carry emotion to me in several different ways. The different style of focusing the camera. The closeups on the actors or actresses. That type of technique was different than what we are used too and it was good.

I enjoyed the script and the dialogue. The movie was not unrealistic, but not too "Close to life". It had something that made you feel good "In between the lines". It would;t have been the great movie it was without the great job of the actors and actresses. There wasn't one character that I wasn't disappointed in. The characters were real and seemed to carry their emotions and feelings to us, the audience.

50/50 is a movie about beating the odds, but its so much more than that. Its a movie about family,friendship and coping with sudden disasters. Its about making mistakes and falling in love. This is what makes it a good movie, it covers all of that but with humour. And Heart. A

The Secret Circle Takes A Dark And Scary Turn

After the last episode of The Secret Circle ,  I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch it again! It was SO scary. But I stayed with the series and watched the new episode Slither. I am surprised.

I am not going to say it got any less scary, but the twists and turns that this episode had were spellbinding.Starting, the show establishes itself as its own from this episode on, not some Vampire Diaries runner up. It has enough romance and action, plus mystery, just like The Vampire Diaries , but it is just a little more mature. Saying this, the shows twists and turns changed the way I thought of it forever. New people were introduced and characters were built on. The actors and actresses true acting abilities were showcased in this episode.

The Secret Circle has become one of my favourite T.V shows right now. I am going to keep watching, for sure.

So many movies... So little time

So a little update on this week. I have been busy,busy,busy. With not a lot to post about for that because I haven't seen much movies in the past 2 weeks... I took lots of photos (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kassy98/ )... Anyway. Gonna watch the Sixth Sense soon. SSOOO EXCITED!! M Night is amazing!!!

Anyway did anyone see the latest episode of The Secret Circle? Do you think it might've been called "Too Intense" or do you think that it was just perfect. Some people thought that it was too intense. I was creeped out but not SO SCARED!

I have english homework. Learning a lot about the elements in stories. I will be able to apply some of this into my future reviews soon.

Hopefully this weekend I will see 50/50. Looks really good and funny! I love Film Festival Movies!! I also need to see Martha Marcy May Marlene. Looks so good! But I have to ask my parents. Im not going to any 14a/18a movie without their approval.

So got to go! Gonna be updating my Flickr as much as I can with some awesome photos!!!! BYEEEEEE!!

Music Overload!

So this weekend I spent approximately $7.14 on music. Yes, I was in a music-e-y mood. Here are the singles and songs that I got.

Shake It Out

Florence & The Machine 

Florence is truly amazing. Her voice is unique and distintable. Her songs are very powerful, my favourite being Cosmic Love, this song has a very powerful melody to it. It also is energetic enough. A great song worth buying!!

Domino

Jessie J

This song is such a great jumping up and down song. It makes you be in a good mood, but its not too electric and receptive. I know Jessie J can sing. Thats enough for me

If I Die Young

The Band Perry

I love new bands- and this is one of them. With their first- huge country hit called "If I die young" , this band has a good start. It is really catchy, calming and these singers have good voices.

Just a kiss

Lady Antebellum

Lady Antebellum is an incredible country band- just a kiss really shows off their voices together in a nice, sweet song. 

Remind Me (Ft Carrie Underwood)

Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood

I bought this song because the tune was catchy and it was part of the 69 cents iTunes special.Carrie Underwood is incredible- as always and they sound wonderful together.

Nothing

The Script

This song is depressing- but The Script is such a fresh break from some of the songs these days. Breakeven, For The First Time and Nothing are my favourite songs from them.

Steve Jobs

Lately I have heard that Steve Jobs has passed away. He was a great, brilliant man. The thing that bugs me is that we should appreciate him for who he is not just his company. I do love apple products, but that doesn't mean I'm going around saying that "Apple will fan"l.Apple was a team effort, Steve Jobs may have been a huge part in creating Apple, but more than one person made the iPod, iPad and iMac. Lets remember Steve Jobs on his own. RIP STEVE.

Scream 4 Review- in 2 paragraphs

Today is the day Scream 4 comes out on DVD! Here is a short review for it!

I have to say, Scream 4 was the best Scream I have watched, I have only watched the first one though, but it was way more suspenseful, humorous and well- less predictable than the first. Why? Because its been what- 10 years?

First of all, the music was remastered- I could tell the change of music and tunes from the first one to this one. Second of all- the lighting and camera angles were done better then the first, therefore making each person a suspect in the movie, thats what lighting can do. Thirdly the whole idea was different- I had NO idea who the killer was the whole time!!!

Scream 4 is a must see for Slasher fans and for sleepovers, I would say, I would love to see this movie with my friends! But generally, its not the best movie you would want to watch, its more of a fun movie, but I wouldn't say it wasn't worth my time.
