Cyberbully Movie Review

The Movie "Cyberbully" was a movie that aired on ABC family this summer, it basiclly was about a girl, named Taylor who got harassed online on a social networking site after she got a new laptop for her birthday. It then started going downhill as the bullying increased and she was being turned against by her friends.


Personally I thought that this movie was made in order to communicate the message that cyberbullying is a serious matter, and even though you are not seeing it you are hurting someone worse then you will ever think because now you can be bullied at home as well as school.


I thought that the story was a little bland, but it was a T.V movie after all, but in my opinion, this main person knew nothing on the basics of internet privacy. In order to have a social networking profile, you need to learn about privacy. On Facebook you can report abuse and block people so you don't see their bullying online. This girl took no precautions and when he friends tried to defend her and help her at the beginning, she chose some boy over them.


Emily Ostment did a good raw performance in this movie, she cried when she needed to cry and she tried to put herself into Taylor's shoes, which is important in acting. 


Phoebe Prince, is an example of a cyberbully victim and she committed suicide by hanging herself. We shouldn't let people do this to themselves. It has to end. That was the message of the movie. Its gotten worse too, the cyberbullying. At my school people get cyberbullied and we aren't afraid to stand up to the bully's and tell them that it is wrong.


Overall Cyberbully had a good message, but it wasn't really the best plot and way to show that message. I was practically screaming at the girl because of her ditching her friends for a boy that was a bystander online. The girl was too foolish and didn't try to help herself at all, which wasn't that smart. C+

A Weekend At The Collingwood Elvis Festival

We all know Elvis, the "King" of rock. The one with so many hits that got everyone moving and grooving. There is a yearly festival, the biggest Elvis festival in the world, in Collingwood Ontario. Every year my family and I have attended, to see the Elvis's and most of all, the rides. This year was the same, but this time I brought my camera. And brang it... Everywhere.

Starting theres the Friday, I love the Friday! Usually this is when the real excitement begins at Elvis weekend! Theres the performances of the tribute Elvis's! This year the performances were simply amazing and there were so many young performers! I love the fact that the crowd is so big! Even though it is so big, you can hear the Elvis music from the other end of the street!

After that, well during its usually time to pick up some food from the vendors. The vendors! There are so many different types of food there! Not just food! Along the street, it is filled with Elvis shops, vendors with Elvis T-shirts, records - you name it! You can even find a varity of other stuff! Also the majority of the stores and restrants featured Elvis theming- even Tim Hortons made an Elvis cookie for $1, where the proceeds go to chairty!

The next day was Saturday- because of the baking heat , we diden’t go into the “Tent”, which is where we see some live performances. We did however, go to some rides, and see a live performance there, near the museum. These live performances were amazing , some were even done by a 9 year old boy!!

As the day whizzed by, we went to a restaurant, listened to live performances, went to vendors, went to rides and did more. My parents even saw a live concert music thing on the Sunday and they said that it was really good!

Newscasts estimate that the town earned millions of dollars from the Elvis weekend, I don't deny it. Elvis Weekend is a must-go to for anyone wanting to have an awesome rockin weekend! 

Elvis Weekend Collingwood Article!!

For Friday & Saturday, I went to Elvis Weekend in Collingwood Ontario!!! I brought my camera along to take some shots!!!! My article will be posted... Tomorrow Morning? I might be able to find a earlier time but i'm so busy!!

Harry Potter Movies through the years and reviews!

After I saw the FANTASTIC last Harry Potter film, I decided to go to my hogwarts trunk and get the movies 1-6 to watch those. Here are some opinions (Before I tell you them, please note that I am a huge potter fan):

Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone

This movie was a great introduction to the wizarding world. It had perfect music, excellent props and wonderful sets. Chris Columbus did amazing directing and really brang out the magic in the Wizarding World. A

Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets

This movie was also directed by Chris Columbus, it had a really similar style like the first movie. The thing I like about Chris Columbus was that he made you smile, you were happy more in this movie & the first then in any of the other films. A

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

This is when Chris Columbus droppped out of making the Potter films. Then we had a new director ,Alfonso Cuarón. This style was similiar to the first movie and second with few changes. The magic still remained in Hogwarts. It stayed true to the book, which was important! A


Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire


I have to say, this new director should have been directing the rest of the movies, in my opinion. He did the the movie perfectly, a didn't miss too much details from the books. Mike Newell directed, the same director that did prince of persia. This movie had excellent music and camera angles, also a meaningful plot. The best. A+


Harry Potter and the order of the phenix 


This is when David Yates started directing the Potters, I found this movie kind of boring and bland, maybe because Quidditch was taken out of this project. I was disappointed in this film, but it still delivered. B+


Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince


This film was the most disappointing of the Harry Potters,some of the most important elements in the book were taken out, and new unnecessary elements were put in.The movie turned too much to the romance and took out what we really needed, the actual discovery. Also something that happened messed up an element for the later films. (Ginny hiding book). B




Overall Harry Potter movies are amazing! I am not rating any of these movies badly, I still watch them, but they were a disappointment for me.

The Hunger Games Poster Has Been Revealed!!

Yesterday on Yahoo! movies, they revaled something very important. The new poster for the Hunger Games movie! Here it is!!!







You probably noticed that it had the "Mockingjay pin" on it. It looks like the cover of the first book a bit, but it has the fire on it. It also says the phrase from the Hunger Games "May the odds be ever in your favour"

This is the first poster and it shows no real people, so I would call it the "Teaser" poster. It released after Harry Potter came out, so its getting people excited. The website for the movie also opened, thehungergamesmovie.com so you can check out the poster and download a countdown to the movie for your website!! What are your thoughts on the poster? Do you like the casting for the Hunger Games? Comment Below!! I love to hear your opinions!!

Rebecca Black- My moment

Today was the day- that most people dreaded and were excited for. Today is the day when Rebecca Black released her new song & music video "My moment" on youtube. Ever since she created her youtube channel, she has promised that she would release her new song on it, so when she announced on her twitter account that it was premiering on youtube, the youtube server crashed because so many people tried to access the video.

So what do I think of "My moment" ? I think that it is generally like any other song, it shouldn't be hated like "Friday" was. Friday was repetitive and didn't have much meaning, it was just for fun. But "My moment" actually says something from Rebecca's point of view. Her "Moment" in the fame and spotlight.

What I like is that she is thinking positive. She is one of the most hated people on youtube, but she still loves the life she had. This is amazing for someone like her. She is thinking positive, which is important.

I'm not saying you should go out and buy it on itunes at 12 tomorrow, but im saying that we shouldn't be hating it. There is nothing super bad about it and there are plenty of songs worse. If you really want to be a good person, go on youtube and give it a thumbs up. Rebecca Black worked hard to make a song that wasn't like Friday, a song for her audience and we should be thanking her for that. B-

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 Review!!

At last! When the first part ended I thought the world was over. Literally. I had to see more. These months dragged by. And then finally July 15th came around. I saw the movie 2 days later, only listening to Harry Potter Wizard Rock music. Anyway. Back on topic.

The movie was a continuation to the first Deathly Hallows- and also the EPIC finale. If you would've read the books, you would know whats coming, but if you haven't your in for a surprise.

The movie opens up with the previous scene- when Voldemort gets the Elder Wand- In 3D. I saw the movie in 3D and personally, it takes away from it. The 3D was very well done, it was like we were right there. But do we need it? When we first saw the movies, we were taken away, with no 3D. We used our own imaginations to bring the amazing magic of Harry Potter to us, not 3D. Now 3D is doing all the work, I prefer using my imagination because its a different experience, and an amazing one at that.

The music was so heartbreaking, from a Harry Potter fan, it really showed at the beginning the emotion in the film- that this was the last one. This music was called "Lilys Theme" and was truly spectacular.The whole soundtrack was really well done- probably one of the favourite soundtracks of the whole 8 movies. This and the first movie.

The camera- was nicely done. We could tell by the angles whenever he was seeing from Voldemort's eyes or in the pensive. We could tell the feelings of the people and I loved the fact that there was a variety of close up's which I thought to be really cool and add more effect to the film.

The movie was done well overall, it ended nicely and I left the theatre smiling, not crying. I am a crazy Potter fan, but this movie didn't make me cry. I don't know why, maybe it didn't use enough time to convey the emotion in the book.

This movie was probably one of best of the 8 films. It will be timeless and people will treasure it for years to come. Harry Potter had a good ending, that people looked at in wonder.  A




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Now the story- If you don't want to hear too much about the movie STOP HERE! The story was changed a bit. I found that the HufflePuff cup- the cup that they destroyed at the beginning, was left out. In the book they show a rich history of the cup, about how it fell into Tom Riddles hands, but that was left out in the 6th movie, also some parts of the film from Voldemort's origins- his mom and dad, were left out in the movie. I was also disappointed in the feelings in some of the scenes , because when Hagrid Carried Harry, there wasn't that much emotion shown.

Sucker Punch Review

So since Sucker Punch just came out of DVD, I thought I should review it for people.

Sucker Punch is basically a movie about a girl named baby doll, who has an abusive stepfather, and is blamed for the death of her sister. According to the production notes, baby doll is 20 years old.

So the abusive father kills her sister and sends her away to a home for mental girls. There she meets some other girls. Together they try to escape, while babydoll uses her imagination to imagine the events that are happening in front of them, therefore going into her own world.

I have to say, the beginning of the film had me hooked. It was great use of music and angles. It explained her story without much words, which was really cool.

Also the use of camera angles was amazing. They really used many closeups which I thought to be really cool. The closeups on the hand on a door handle or eyes was really cool.

But later on in the film, I found myself wondering off. It was really like Deja-vu. All the events that happen are kind of like the same and it gets very-boring after a while. I personally diden't really like this film. I don't know.

Although I found the soundtrack to be amazing. The songs suited the mood of the film perfectly and Emily Brownings voice is amazing! it just suited the creepy & Intense feeling of the film.

Overall, the movie Sucker Punch is a good watch with a couple of friends. You will have fun watching it, but it just wasn't the best movie. if you like the directors previous movies like the movie 300, you will like this film. B-

The Skyscraper Buzz!

As you guys probably noticed, Demi Lovatos new single "Skyscraper" has been a MASSIVE hit. Her heartfelt vocals and ballads really broke through to peoples minds and hearts. On twitter, she became trending and in Itunes US she became #1, in Canada #4. This is amazing for her, and many celebrities like Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson & Selena Gomez have tweeted compliments to Demi Lovato about the amazing song that she sang.

Skyscraper is a song about her journey, from rehab and how she broke through. This is a single from her upcoming album. In my opinion, Skyscraper is a great song. She shows off her voice, which I have admired for a long time for its originality and unique sound to it. Demi Lovato is going to go big, really big.

So the video came up, and people were so excited. When I saw it, I liked it but I didn't understand it. I loved the mist and background that she stood behind. But I thought she would add something different, but I guess its just meant to be that way, to demonstrate clearness and her experiences.

What do you think of Skyscraper? Do you like her new style of music? Comment, Comment,Comment! I really would like to hear the opinions of some Lovatics!

Goodbye Lullaby- Track By Track Review

So Avril Lavignes new album came out a while ago and since the Canada Day deals on itunes I was able to complete my album for $3!!!! So I got her album and have been listening to it for the past week. Here is my track my track review:

1.Black Star: This is like a intro of her music. It was on her commercial for the perfume. But it really showcases her voice.

2.What The Hell: This was the song that she released first, her "Diva" single. It personally isn't my favourite. But its catchy and has the "Avril" style that she had in her song "Girlfriend".

3. Push: This is a good song. It is so much like Avril Lavigne. Telling them to shut up! It does swear a little.

4.Wish you were here: I love this song. I just love the melody and the beat. She is really conveying emition and saying that she misses someone and the way they are. People can really relate to this song.

5. Smile : I loved this song before it became a big hit! I just loved the melody! Also it has her style to it, but meaning. It has a good chorus, and combines different genres of music.

6. Stop Standing This: This is a perfect crush song. It is for the girl who just stands there. It has a hand clapping melody and I think will become a hit.

7. I love You: I love this message. You could like someones appearence: their smile, their vive, their style, their stardom, but in the end, thats not why you would love them. You would love them for being themselves.

8. Everybody Hurts: Another good message. Everybody feels pain. Everybody hurts and its O.K to be hurt. Its a really beautiful song.

9. Not Enough: This song is good. I diden't like it as much as some other ones. But it still is catchy.

10. 4 Real: I like this song!  It has a good memory behind. She feels 4 real. In love for real. Or 4 real

11. Darlin: My  favourite of the CD!! Its so catchy and has such a natural sound to it. It just makes me happy for some reason. I just love the guitar and her singing!

12. Remember When: Its a good song. Very slow. One of my friends claims she LOVES this song so much!! Its a good remembering song.

13. Goodbye: A good way to end the album. Talking about goodbyes. Good beat and good meaning

14. Alice (Bonus Track): She did so well in the Alice & Wonderland movie. Really well in the video. I like this song. It really suits the mood of the film.

Horrible Bosses Review

Yesterday I saw the movie Horrible Bosses, here is my review for it:

So the movie Horrible Bosses is basically about 3 friends who have terrible, horrible, awful bosses. I mean- Really bad bosses. The first one is a psycho- literally.He kept on making his employe do all this work for him for a promotion, even drink an 18 year old scotch! The second is a Maneater, who tries to do things with her employee that she is not supposed to do, even when the employee is engaged. The third takes drugs, and makes out with people when the employees are working. He then tells the employee to "Trim the fat" or fire the fat people. Also to fire "Professor x" the guy in the wheel chair. So the 3 friends make a plan to kill their bosses with the help of "MF" Jones.

The movie "Horrible Bosses" was funny. But it still wasn't the funniest movie I have ever seen in my life. There were lots of "Laughs" but I wasn't killing myself laughing.

The plot was really well done. I thought that it was unperdictable, something that I haven't seen in a while. I wasen't able to guess what would happen in the end until it happened.

Although this movie was rated 14A, It was really dirty. I thought that it talked more about sexual content then Bridesmaids or The Hangover. Although it was dirty, that didn't make it funnier but it still was really funny. There were ALOT of uses of the f word and more bad words in it!

Overall, I would recommend it to an adult or teen audience. But my little brother saw it and he didn't really like it, but I still enjoyed it and would watch it again. B

The Tourist Review

The Tourist is a movie about a woman, named Elle who had a personal relationship with a criminal, named Alexander Pierce. Pierce sends her a letter to find a man that looks like him to trick the police into thinking that it is him.

The Tourist was exciting enough, but I found it kind of bland. It was more been there done that then anything and the plot was just so predictable. I was able to tell what would happen at the end from the beginning and there was no twists.

I found that Johnny Depp did an amazing performance- as always in this film. He is such a versatile actor.Jolie did a  good job as well.

I bared throughout the movie, but I wouldn't watch it again. But I would say that you might like  this movie if you like thrillers and around-the-world adventure type movies.

The Happening Review

So last week when I was sick, I watched the movie "The Happening", here is my review for it:

The movie "The Happening" is basically about an event that happened in North America. The first stage is lost human speech (eg stuttering words), the second stage is loss in human movement (The person can't move) and the third is... Suicide.

Ever since when I was sick, I have become a huge fan of M Night Shyamalan, and this is no exception. He may not be capable to win oscars, but he sure has established his own style of filmmaking.

The Happening delivers creepiness, action,mystery,romance & horror. It also delivers meaning. All of this Happened for a reason. The reason applies to our world too, not just theirs.

The plot, I thought was well done. Everything seemed to happen at a nice pace. It allowed us to think about the events and we would be introduced to the answers later.

Shyamalan, lacks in the elements of film needed to produce an oscar ( Cinematography, music, etc) but he still produced a film worth watching again. I disagree with the critics on this. I loved this film!

Smile Because Your The Deer In The Headlights. UPDATE!!

This week has been crazy! Swimming and working! But next week I will be more relaxed so I can write more. This summer is awesome! I have been jumping on my trampoline and I just finished trying to swim, but coming out because I was freezing cold (Im always cold). Now I just came inside and am going to write.

Whats a perfect album/artist for summer? My choice is Owl City. Owl City is so amazing. Some people complain about his songs being repetitive, but I highly disagree. Owl City-Adam, is one of those artist's that sees the world with different eyes. He talks about the hidden wonder in our lives and regards the world with optimism, something mosts artists don't do. Instead of saying bad things, like how much he hates something, he talks about the good parts. This is why he is the ultimate summer listen. Summer is Stress-free and happy. Thats why we listen to owl city!!

Now I will switch back to movies. Sadly, Zookeeper has been rated rotten. I was looking forwards to it too. But I don't relay on the reviews, I like to see it myself and then review it. Red Riding Hood got terrible reviews didn't it. But I loved it!

I have only seen partial bits and pieces of movies so far this summer because of thee busyness. But I will review "The Happening" tomorrow morning. '

My brother watched "Rise Of The Silver Surfer" this morning. Its a good movie. Really good plot & Ideas. I love marvel movies because you can relate to them more. Okay, Ill save that topic for another post!

M Night Shyamalan

So my favourite directors are: Steven Spielberg, Roland Emmerich, James Cameron, Darren Arnofsky & Clint Eastwood. Well thanks to my wonderful mother who sat there and nurtured me when I was sick, I was able to watch my very first M Night Shyamalan movie: The Happening. 


This guy is brilliant! I loved his movies! (Although since I was so sick, I fell asleep during The Village, but I plan to watch it again). I watched The Happening & Devil, which he wrote. I am amazed. This guy is awesome. And Brilliant.


Okay, I know he may not be big in the Oscars, but got nominated, but he deserves a whole different category for his movies. The Happening had a meaning behind it and that felt so important, even though It got bad reviews.


I do admit, his films aren't for everyone, but they should be.  He just has such a unique style to his writing and directing. The reason why his movie " The Last Airbender" got such awful reviews was because it wasn't his usual work. 


I will try to review his film "The Happening" soon. But I can't promise anything. 


So I hope that when it is one of those movie nights, you will pick up a M Night movie and watch it!!

UPDATE.

I will be extremely and I mean EXTREMELY BUSY this week! I hate this cause I can't write that often at all!!! Im swimming-intensly swimming and doing something that involves my whole future!!! Bleh.

So anyway... I was able to grab some free time (Oh and my strep throat is gone) and write something. My future blog entry will be posted soon so for all those email recipients who are receiving this, I am better but busy. My updates will be short and simple.

I will update this so check out my blog now! Or it will email it to you. In a while.

Its Sunday, July 3rd 2011

What I am going to say is for the bad news was that I was sick for the past 2 days. Well I still am sick. Now. The good news is when I was laying down, I was watching: MOVIES!! I watched: Couples Retreat, The Happening, Twilight & the tourist.  I will review them soon but right now I need to lie down. Ugh.

Canada Day!!!

Yay! Today is Canada Day!! I love Canada! Living in such an awesome country. Wait- I bet you're probably asking. "How does this apply to entertainment". Well here I will list some of the many Canadian people that inspire me.

Celine Dion

I grew up listening to her music, her voice is amazing and unique and she is known for that.

James Cameron

James Cameron is one of the movie directors that everyone wants to be like. Titanic and Avatar both are at the top of the most watched films and he has won Oscars for his films. He is known all over the world.

Avril Lavigne

She is so popular and her music is SO catchy. She has won awards and has came out with 4 albums. Just recently she came out with her new CD called "Goodbye Lullaby" which has already had 2 hit songs: "What the hell" and "Smile".

Lights

LIGHTS is a rising star. She has already worked with big stars such as Owl City and received Rad reviews on her CD's. Her songs "Second go" and "Saviour" had become hits.

Nikki Yanofsky

Nikki Yanofsky is amazing. Her voice is just-- Wow. I was amazed at the NATIONAL Olympics when she sang for Canada and sang the song "I believe". She is also so down to earth.

Shania Twain

Shania Twain is an awesome country singer and she came from Canada. She has an Autobiography and her new song "Today is your day" out on itunes!!

Sarah McLaughian

I listened to her songs as a kid and she is really good!!! I just love her music style.

Fefe Dobson

Fefe Dobson is a rising star. She has had 3 hit songs and has sung in the "Wavin Flag" for Haiti. I feel like we are going to see her more often because of her rapid success.

Justin Bieber

Im not a huge fan- but I respect him. He has worked hard to get to the place he is today and he deserves his fans. He started out just like us.

Alyssa Reid

Alyssa Reid is a role model. She tried and was on The Next Star- she diden't win. But she kept trying and got a record deal with Wax Records. She was at the MMVA's and has won awards. Her new album is really good and I hope she continues making awesome music!!



These are just a few of the many inspirational Canadians we have. Who do you think is inspiring in Canada? Write below on the comments.

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".

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.

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?
