i just missed your heart

In just the past couple of weeks I have seen a few movies, so I thought, "Hey, maybe I should blog about them." So I did. And you're reading my reviews right now.



If you think that Rango is just another kid's movie, it isn't. This is partly due to the fact that most kids movies that are available right now are, well, mediocre. You probably also believe that if a kids movie isn't Disney or Pixar, it must be stupid and not "magical." Well you, my friend, are completely wrong. Rango definitely exceeding my expectations when it came to humor, action, cinematography, and originality. Even though a lot of computer animated characters are somewhat non-believable, Rango certainly wasn't.

One of the elements that I loved but other critics didn't enjoy was the use of adult jokes that were almost "slipped in" during the dialogue. Think back to when you were a little kid and you used to watch Looney Tunes, Spongebob, etc. If you watched them now, you would notice a lot of inconspicuous jokes that would just pass over your head as a kid. There are several of those type of jokes throughout the movie, which added to the genuine humor of the movie. So basically, it's fun for all ages. :)

(This is just for you, Imani)

One day I was looking at what was playing on HBO and I saw Diary of a Wimpy Kid was one of my choices. Naturally I thought, "Ummmmmmmm nope," but then I remembered my dear friend Imani loved the series so I decided to watch it. Halfway through the film, I thought, "Hmm, this isn't as bad as I thought it would be." So by the end of the movie, I kinda really enjoyed it. I could definitely see the influence that John Hughes' famous teen movies had on Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and yet it still had a very different style.
A couple weeks later I went to go see the sequel (Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules) at the theater, and, of course, it was pretty awesome, like the original. However, I wouldn't recommend seeing the second film without seeing the first one.



On a completely darker note, last Saturday I went to the movies (again) to go see Hanna, which is about the daughter of a secret agent and her fight for survival. See, I knew that it was going to be somewhat violent, but not nearly as intense as it turned out to be. Now I won't reveal too much about the movie, but I will say that if you can handle as much violence as there was in Kick-Ass, then you could watch Hanna. Besides the obvious violence, the film really does deliver with its acting, cinematography, and visual-extravagance. If you love the Bourne series, then I strongly recommend this movie for you.

So, I hope you enjoyed these few movie reviews! Please check out my other blog posts. :)

television, television

In television news, the end of one of the many TV shows that I religiously watch came to an end on March 20th. That show was Big Love. There is no doubt that I will miss the notoriously disfunctional family that is the Henricksons. Even though the last episode did show a little bit of the family's life after the death of patriarch Bill, I would have love to seen even more. Farewell, Big Love. :(

"Game over man, game over."

Now if you love British television as much as I do, then you must watch Being Human and Doctor Who. If you do indeed watch these shows, you HAVE to know that Being Human just had its finale and Doctor Who will be returning on April 23rd. So basically, if you watch those shows but didn't know the previous information there is something seriously wrong with you.

Now if you do not watch Doctor Who or Being Human there is something even more wrong with you. You can't really understand how great these shows are if you don't watch them. It's like saying that you don't like a certain food, but you haven't even tried it; you may indeed like that food. So I urge you to please consider watching these shows.

Let's see... What else has been happening in television...

There's a new adorable couple on The Office! Well actually, they've been quite cute every since they first fell in love, but everything just got a whole lot crazier in the hit comedy. That's right, Michael Scott and Holly Flax are engaged! Ok, we still all love Jim, Pam, and baby Cece, but it has been about time that Michael finally starts a family of his own. You can see the proposal here:

Cute ain't it?

So who's going to be the new Scranton Regional Manager? None other than Will Ferrell! This should be nothing less of pure insanity.

Personally, I can't wait to see what happens on these awesome TV shows. We'll just have to wait and see. :)

your new true style

In most teen fashion magazines, they provide a few styles with clothing that represent the title. For example, a "romantic" style would include a floral, flowy dress with some pale shoes and pastel accessories, while an "edgy" style would have some ripped jeans, a tank top with a faded union jack on it, and some combat boots.
Now, when I look these magazines, I always think to myself that none of those styles really encompass who I am. Fashion and style is suppose to reflect who you are as an individual, not just a style of clothing.
That is why I have decided to make up a few different styles that can truly portray a personality through clothing. Also, notice that all of these styles may apply to you, or maybe even none of them! (Hopefully not) Here are the styles I came up with. Have fun and figure out your style!

Urban Glamazon

This fierce fashionista isn't afraid of bold, bright colors and loves her high-tops, as well as her pumps. She tends to choose pieces that show she isn't afraid to try new things and step outside of her comfort zone. She's independent and pure fun.

Bad Ass Beauty
