Mrs Doubtfire Review

Mrs Doubtfire Reveiw

So Mrs Doubtfure is about a couple who get divorced and after the divorce the dad dresses up as a housemaid in order to spend time with his kids without anyone knowing.

So I like this movie. I think the acting is decent I don't it was anything spectacular but it was good. I really loved Robin Williams as Mrs Doubtfire there really were times when I forgot that Robin was Mrs. Doubtfire at times. This movie is a comedy and I think some of the comedy was kind just slap in the face comedy but not all of it, there are parts that just make you laugh. I also found this movie to be very heartwarming. The father trying to spend time with his kids he's a decent dad trying to do the best he can. I love all the lessons that you learn from this movie, about family, and working hard, and love.

So the reviewers have said that the comedy is slap in the face comedy which as I mentioned above it is at times so that I somewhat agree with. I also have read that they don't care about the characters which I just don't see how you can not. The father wants to spend time with the kids you want him to want to be with his kids and I feel you care about his character and your wanting him to spend time with his kids. You also see his wife's view the dads a little immature and can't keep a job so you take her side to.

All in all Mrs. Doubtfire is a good movie, I've watched it so many times I have the movie memorized. So it is one you will watch again and again. As for a ratting it gets a 7/10.

So what did you think? Did you agree?

Let me know please please please let me know!!!!!

Following My Dreams

Following my Dreams

Ok so as promised here is another post, and I decided to talk about something that has been on my mind today. So I work at a gas station/ Convenient Store and I absolutely love it. I love my co workers I love what the job all entails love it. Today I had a talk with my manager and he asked me a question how long do I see myself there? My answer was a few years I have bills that need to be paid and I'm,saving up for school. My manager then went on to tell me that he was interested in training me for management if I was interested. This question was just a big shocker I've been with the company since August so not to long. I know I'm a good worker I do the best I can and work on being better. I really don't have much for plans in my life so whenever I can I take shifts that are needed to be taken I stay late if needed and I need the money anyway so I do it. Now my whole life I wanted to do one thing and that was do something with movies. If you've followed my blog or taken a look at older posts you've seen I've done quite a few movie reviews and that's just because I love them so much. So the reason why I say that is I feel like if I do become a manager of a store I feel like I'm giving up on my dream. I have never wanted to do anything else in my life, never an astronaut or a football player just wanted to do something with movies. I do also realize how hard it is to get into the movie business so I almost feel like I should just give it a rest on that dream... But deep down I don't want to its something I always wanted to do. I also feel like though that it's time to be realistic. 

So tell me what should I do? Give up the dream or dream on?

Let me know thanks

The Sound of Madness Review

The Sound of Madness

So I'm going to start this review by saying how sorry I am that I haven't been doing anything on here. I'm also hoping to post another post to hit that I have been stressing about today to after this but more of that later. So today I want to review a album, this album is one I own and absolutely love. The album being reviewed is The Sound of Madness from Shinedown. Now Shinedown is a band that is a heavy rock light metal and I absolutely love them.  The lead singer Brent Smith has great vocals, I absolutely love his voice. Now this cd starts with the song devour which is a great beat fast paced song which I think is a great start for this cd. The cd ends with the song Call Me which is a slower song which is also wonderful and I also think that it's a great ending to the album, the song is great and every time I listen to it I get chills. I also feel like there are some albums where you hear the last song and you think there's more it's kind of like a book that has no ending which is come thing I don't like on a album but on this album you can just tell it's the ending you can just tell that it's the end. My favorite song on this album is Second Chance though which was the first hit from this album. This song talks about following your dreams and if you haven't seem the video for this song I suggest seeing it it's a great video and a great song. The song also happenens to be one of my favorite Shindown songs and one of my favorite songs period. The album is also a favorite of mine I own the physical copy of it and I have listened to it over and over. It's worth a buy. The songs fast songs get you psyched and the angry sings get you mad and the sad songs hit you. I love that the lyrics are written by the band themselves I just feel like they have went through the experiences and I just feel like they sing the songs and play the songs with so much real emotion and I love it.

So for a ratting out of five I'm going to give The Sound of Madness a 5/5.

So what did you think of this album? Did you agree? Let me know!!!!!

Thanks for reading and I'm sorry that I've been so behind :)

Thanks again!!!!!

Captain America The Winter Solider Trailer Review

Captain America The Winter Soldier Trailer Review 

So the  first Captain America TWS trailer came out yesterday and I'm not going to lie it looks badass. The trailer starts with the guy jumping out of an airplane without a parachute for the love of gods sakes!!!! Now I want to start by saying that I hated the first Captain America, I thought it was boring and I had no interest in him at all. I also really don't like the character of Captain America, I feel like he does absolutely nothing. Yeah he's smart and a leader and a good one at that, but I really don't like him. He annoys the crap out of me to me he's just some hot head. In The Avengers he was a little less annoying but I still hated him. Now I love where this movie is leading off from The Avengers. I like that one of the characters involved is joining S.H.E.I.L.D and I think Captain America is a good pick for that. I love that Nick Fury and Black Widow are in this movie as well. that was something that did kind of bug me. In Iron Man 3 we saw nothing really to do with the events in The Avengers. I really hope that somehow they also try to put them in for Thor 2 it does t look like it so far but hopefully there will be. The action sequences look amazing!!!! The Special effects look awesome!!! I also love that this movie is taking place in our nations capital it just makes things all the better in my opinion. My absolute favorite part of this trailer though was the end. Captain throws his shield and the villain just catches iT with one hand like it was nothing. I saw that and I just thought to myself dang captain I thought you sucked with the red faced Harry Potter villain from the first movie now your really screwed!!! 

So I'm super excited for this movie are you?

Let me know what you think.

Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy

Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy

So tonight's topics is weather we should tell kids about Santa and the Easter Bunny and all those things. So the question that gets asked is should we lie to our kids and tell them that there is such a thing as these people? You know the first thing I want to say is that I believe its ok to,sometimes lie.mi do feel there is such a thing as a good lie. I think that Santa and the Easter bunny is an example of that. I have an example of that to, I never had much of a childhood and I never got the Easter bunny or Santa. I was recently living with my two best friends and they mentioned the Easter bunny hiding baskets. I didn't know he did that when they told me this I just started to cry. The look on their faces when they were talking about this they just had this magical look on their face. They say there is no such thing as magic, but I do feel there is magic in that kind of way. I saw the happiness on their face, something I didn't have as a kid. Since I have the best friends they hid a basket for me and I felt that happiness and it just made me happy. I felt the happiness. 

So my opinion in all of this is yes we should tell our kids there is such a thing as Santa and the Easter Bunny it just causes a form of magic I find to be true. It gives us hope as kids and makes us happy. To not tell them is to take away a part of them and they will end up crying one day when told these things. To feel left out is a terrible feeling and why do that to,our kids. Let them experience the magic. Let them have a childhood let them be kids.

We'll let me know what you think. Please please comment below. Do you agree?

Gays

Gays

Ok so this is something that has a lot of controversy. Well here's my opinion of it. Personally I think there is nothing wrong with it. We are all looking for that special someone and why should we deny that? When it's comes to marriage why not? If gays are are having big extravagant weeding isn't that helping the economy and small businesses in that area? As for kids there are so many teen pregnancies and that doesn't seem to be slowing down and some of those kids are giving away their kids why not lower the amount of orphans and let the gays adopt them? I get it goes against some religious beliefs but can't we look over that? I feel like we can change to make sure the world is happy. There are so many un happy people shouldn't we want to see some happy ones? I know it's different but I feel like everyone should have a right to be happy.

So what do you think. Please comment and let me know!!!!

Tablet or book

Tablet or book

So tonight's topic is tablet vs book. 

We'll a tablet is lightweight it has a light so you can see which I do like. It's impossible to get a paper cut with a tablet which is nice. It's also nice that when your almost done with a book you can store another book on your tablet and not have any extra weight. But there is also a downside. A tablet needs to be charged which is annoying if you want to read your book and you can't because your tablet isn't charged. 

Now a book is always nice to, it's the old fashioned ways it doesn't have to be charged and you can go to a library and rent one out for free. Now a book has a lot of downsides though. It can give you a paper cut with its pages. If it's a thick boom it may be hard to store or heavy to carry. 

So what do I prefer. We'll I like both but I guess I prefer a book more than anything else. There's nothing like holding onto a actual book.theres more downside than there is a good side but I love reading a real book it just can't be beat.

So what do you think. Please please please comment and let me know. And also let me know what you want me to talk about next :)!!!

Sex before marriage

Sex before marriage 

We'll this is something that really is just something I feel strongly about. Sex now a days is something that just has become part of every relationship no matter what age. 

Now first I want to take talk about teenagers having sex. I really don't think that that teenagers realize how dangerous have sex as a teen can be. There is AIDS and other sexual virus I don't feel people always take into account. I also don't feel teens take teen pregnancy seriously. I know people who have had sex in their teens who have just laughed and said how many close calls there have been. Really? This is funny? You could destroy not only your life but a innocent child's life. Teens also are still young they aren't totally mature and they go into these things not thinking.

Now I don't think sex before marriage is a bad thing really but I feel like a lot of people just do it to do it. I feel like you need to have spent time with your partner. I feel like you should know how many sexual partners they have had in the past for starters. You don't want to get sexual diseases and I feel like if you can share that you are close enough to have sex. I also feel like you should have talked about kids and what would happen if you had them. If you don't know that you shouldn't be having sex. There is a chance that it could happen so you both should agree on what to do.

I also hook ups and those kind of things are a just stupid and wrong take some time to get to know people it will be so much more wonderful. People that do hook up and issues and problems that they are not solving. They are hurting so they have sex to feel good but they are just making things worse in my opinion.

We'll that was my opinion on sex before marriage. Please leave some comments and let me know what you think. And please share with people my blog please :) I really want some discussion to start happening and that can't happen without people!!!

Thanks for reading.

Love at first sight

Love at first sight

Hey everybody sorry I've been gone a while I've been busy but today will be the day that I get caught up. So one of today's topic will be love at first sight.

So do I believe this exists? Do I believe you can see someone and just immediately fall in love with them like in some movies where people immediately get married after just seeing each other I don't really believe that. I just don't see how that works. It takes time to fall in love. You need to get to know people before you can fall in love. Yes in the movies it can be sweet but really in real life people who get married after a couple months that just doesn't work. We wonder why divorce rates are so high. Things take time you can't just rush into things. It may be different if you know someone forever like your friends first but love at first sight just really doesn't exist to me. 

We'll this was a shorter post but it was a topic I wanted to talk about.

Please please leave some comments below on what you think. I would like someone to argue their own opinions with me. Thanks for reading I'll have another post up like within the next half hour or so to catch up.

The Conjuring Review





The Conjuring

So The Conjuring is a horror story that is based on true events about a family who moves into a house and find mysterious things happening while they are in their house at night.

Well I have to say this movie was stinking scary. It wasn't exactly gory, I think there was really one scene where it was gory. The movie was just suspenseful!!! It was also scary though, I watched this at the drive in and people who were walking outside freaked me out and I jumped a little. I'm not usually one that is scared of horror movies I love them. And I have to say that this is my favorite horror movie of all time now.

This movie had some pretty decent acting there were a couple of children actors that were a little annoying with their acting. I didn't think that there was anybody super amazing worth mentioning but for a horror movie the acting was decent. I also want to talk about the visual effects most of them were pretty amazing, but then there were some where it just looked terrible.

The plot of this movie was pretty intriguing and I was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time!!! This movie just had me wanting more. I loved how they put everything together and the movie had a great ending unlike most horror movies.

I've read other people reviews and a lot of people were saying that there is a lot of horror movie cliches. My opinion of this is that it's a HORROR movie it's going to have those cliches but I don't feel like it was nothing but clichés I feel that it did it's self justice. I think this is James Wanns best directing yet and his beys movie yet. People felt like it was the same as his other movies I disagree it was unique and done well.

So all in all I loved this movie I will probably buy it when it comes out and it will be one I watch over and over. As for a rating I decided to give The Conjuring a 7/10.

So what did you think of The Conjuring? Did you agree with me? Let me know

Suicide







So tonight I want to talk about something that is very dark compared to the other posts. This is something that I really want to voice my opinion on as well. Most people think suicide is bad that is just wrong. I somewhat agree with that but I really do think that there are times when people have the right to take their life's.

Now I agree that everyone in this world has someone that cares about them. If you've ever had a job or family or friends or you went to school then someone cares about you. I know it may be hard to believe at times but people love you. I have known people who have committed suicide and yes it has hurt and it does hurt others around you.

Now I first want to say I feel suicide is fine with somewhat obvious things. If you are old and you can't take care of yourself and someone is bathing you and stuff then if you feel you need to take your life I feel that is fine. I also feel that people who have an illness like cancer or something and they want to end their life so as not to suffering feel that it's fine

I also feel its fine for other purposes. There are people out there who have lost a lot of people or they have been through a lot h as physical abuse or rape or something like that I feel that it is again ok but I think that these people do need to try to get help first. I think they should seek their loved ones and try consoling and if you have tried and after like a year or two you are still suffering I feel that it is fine. I know a lot of people would disagree but if someone is suffering like that do you really want to watch them suffer? I know it's hard to let go but sometimes we need to put others before ourselves. We don't want to suffer and we don't want to see others suffer.

I'm sorry that this is such a depressing post but I felt that this is a topic to talk about.

We'll comment and let me know what you think and let me know what to talk about next.

Movies








Movies

So today we talk about something that I love movies, but more specifically how to best watch a movie.  There are so many ways to watch a movie. There is at home, IMAX, a regular theatre, 3D, drive ins. So today I want to talk about my favorite ways of going to see a movie. My first and my personal favorite is the drive in. I love being able to sit in a comfortable seat and being able to have the volume at what you want. I also like how it's two or three movies for the price of one. I love that you can have your blankets and pillows and sit and watch a movie. My second favorite is IMAX with such a big screen you almost feel like you are in the movie you are watching. Any big important movies I try to go see it in IMAX. The only thing I don't like is how expensive IMAX is and I also don't like that there aren't as many IMAX screens as regular screens. The next way I like to see a movie is a regular movie screen. I love the surround sound and the big screen. It's just an awesome way to see a movie. The next is at home. It is defiantly nice to  be able to sit in my bed or on my chair or wherever and see a movie. It's not on as big of a screen usually no but it's still an enjoyable way to watch a movie. The last and final way to watch a movie is in 3D. I feel like this is just something that is overused for movies. I feel like every movie that comes out now is in 3D. Sometimes it is nice to watch a movie in 3D Gravity was one of the few. It was a movie That took place in space and you just felt like you were floating in the stars. I really want to go see it in IMAX 3D!!! Before Gravity the last movie I saw in 3D was Iron Man 3D. This was a movie that was decent to watch in 3D but there were times where it was just annoying and I just took of the glasses. It sometimes gives me headache!!! I also feel like we need to get rid of the glasses somehow I think it might help so we don't have annoying glasses on!!!! 

So that was my opinion of best and worst ways to see movies.

Do you agree or disagree?

What is a superhero?









What is a superhero?


So today's topic is superheroes and more specifically what is a superhero? Someone asked me that the other day. Well to me a superhero is someone who is still human who does super things. So aliens, gods,  yeah they aren't superheroes!!! At work one night a co worker and I were talking about The Avengers. She asked me if I thought all of the Avengers were superheroes to which I answered with no. Iron Man is a superhero, he uses his own technology to save the world. Thor not a superhero he is a god! His powers are the work of gods not human made. Captain America is one I struggle with but in the end he is a superhero to me, his powers were given to him by the famous Howard Stark there fore I feel he is a superhero. Hulk is another tough one but again he is human that turns into the hulk because of the virus or whatever it is. Then there is Hawk eye and Black Widow they are superheroes they are human assassins most definitely superheroes.

So here are some more examples

NotSuperheroes
Superman- Alien
Wonder Woman- Alien



Superheroes
Batman- uses equipment from Wayne enterprises 
Spider-Man- spider that was being tested bit him


So what do you think?

Let me know :)

Friends and Relationships





Friends and Relationships

So the first topic I want talk about today is something that I feel a lot of people struggle with at times. When in a relationship how much time do you spend with friends and your significant other? My opinion comes from experience. I've been in a relationship where I've spent too much time with my significant other. I've had friends who have told me I spent to much time with my significant other and it hurt them. I've also been on the other side of things being the friend who feels hurt by not being  able to spend times with friends. Now I really want to start off by saying this. When your in a relationship and it ends who is there for you? When you get married and end up in a divorce who is there for you? When your significant other dies who is there for you? The answer to all these questions is your family and friends. Now I know relationships are great and all but I feel the most important thing in the world is friendship. Ok so I think its important to try to keep these things about equal. So in my opinion these are the two things you have to make sure of in a relationship.

1) make sure to still talk to your friends.

 Make sure that you are still talking to your friends. If you don't know what's going on in your friends life... Think about this if you don't know what's going on you may be spending to much time with your other. Look at your text messages have you still been talking?  Yes I get it we want to talk to your others but make sure that your friends still know that your at least alive. Friends tell each other everything at least good ones do and if your not talking to them then they won't want to talk to you.  

2) make sure to hang out.

This one is really important in my opinion. Think about the last time you saw your friends. Has it been weeks or months? If you may be spending to much time with your other. This of course does depend on the distance, but if your five or ten minutes away there really is no excuse for this. Your friends love you and want to see you so make sure that you still are spending time with them. Make sure that they are spending one on one time with you to. I kind of think about how I met your mother on this one. The main character Ted brings his girlfriends to meet his friends to see if his friends like them. I think that is something we should all do really. Your friends are a part of you you may not know it but they are a huge part of you. If someone doesn't like your friends then there is a chance that they don't like you and might try to change you. So if you all get along make sure all of you hang out but don't forget to make some alone time with your friends. Friends try to tell there friends everything that is part of the deal and some of those things may be things they don't want others hearing so make some time.

3) don't replace them

The last thing kind of combines the first two I guess but make sure you tell your friends that you love them and that they are still important in your life. Think of your friends like a dog a dog is happy to see you and sad when your gone so make the dog happy and still spend time with them don't abandon your friends. It's like I said at the beginning....

Your friends will be there for you when you break up, when you get divorced, or when the other dies.

Keep your friends close!!!!!
