3 fav movies & actors/actresses

My Three Favorite Movies!

Dear John
This is one of my all time favourite movies. I like this movie because well for one its a "chick flick," which all girls like and it is romantic. This movie was shot in the summer in a small town by the beach. The film is about a guy from the army who comes home and falls in love with a college girl while he is home visiting. The movie is based on the book written by Nicholas Sparks, I have read the book and seen the movie and both are very good which is unusual because usually a movie based on a book are not as enjoyable as the books are. This movie has a really good story to it with some sad parts which I like bout movies. This movie also contains one of my favourite actors, Channing Tatum.



Slumdog Millionaire
This is my second all time favourite film! This movie helps(helped) me understand what people in the india and the middle east have to live and grow up with. This movie is about a teenager who is from the middle east who enters a hindi/indian version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire." The contestant is arrested and accused of cheating because he knew mostly all of the answers. The reason why he knew all of the answers was because he lived through all of it and knew the answers from his own personal experience. This movie is good for everyone to see and to know what horrible things go on in other countries and make them thankful to live where and how we do and have the types of lives we live.

The Da Vinci Code
This my favourite movie of ALL time!!! This movie is about a murder and detectives use Da Vinci's famous paintings to help solve the crime and figure out who the murderer is. With the paintings they discover that it was a religious mystery and have to research the religion then eventually the mystery was solved. This movie is a movie you have to pay attention to to understand and I enjoy movies that take following and never gets boring and is very interesting.





My Three Favorite Actors!

Channing Tatum
Channing is one of my favourite actors because he can do many different types of acting and is skilled at all of them and Channing is also a model and a lot of girls favour him. He has been in many movies such as-Dear John, Step Up, She's The Man, G.I. Joe and many more. He is a model for Abercrombie & Fitch, Dolce & Gabbana, Nautcia and more. I mainly like him because he is a good looking guy, and the movies he is in I mainly all like. Channing is a well rounded actor who can play and act pretty much any role that's why I like him.




Zach Galifianakis
Zach is the most hilarious actor ever! In the movie Hangover he plays the role of a groom`s brother in-law who goes on his bachelor trip to Vegas, he is awkwardly hilarious and every thing he does or says is hilarious. He plays in movies such as-Hangover, Due Date, Super High Me, G-Force and more. He has been famous since 1996 but was only really noticed in the past two years or so. Zach is both an actor and a stand-up comedian.




Adam Brody
I mainly know Adam Brody from the TV show The OC. Adam is a actor and a part time musician. He features in movies such as Cop Out, Scream 4, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, American Pie 2 and more. Adam has been famous since 1995, the reason why i like him as an actor is because he seems like a good guy who doesn`t ``show boat`` himself and brag about his stardom. Adam is a cute kid with amazing talent and is not as famous in the ``celeb world`` but is still one of the best actors.

MUSIC REVIEW....


Music Review: 
        Keep Your Head Up - Andy Grammer



     Starts with a piano playing with some vocal "oh's", beat boxing type sounds come into the song, drums and bass break into the song . Song fully begins the intro is over and full vocals are now in the song.The lyrics and singer's voice  are clean and smooth and give the song a good flow. The background instruments fill the background well which make the song more interesting and not dull and feel full. The song has a distinct chorus and all the parts of the song fit together making it a decent song.


     The lyrics in this song are basically saying or telling people that when they get discouraged or frustrated to not just give up keep trying, "keep your head up," because everything will be okay and work out in the end. They explain that you need to gain self confidence and then you will feel more comfortable about what you do, how you feel, and how you react to other people. I think that anyone can relate to this song because every thing it says it true and helpful when growing up and being  happy.


     This song makes me think of teenagers who are just entering high school and they are nervous and scared of whats to come. They are frightened of all the other teens that they have no idea who they are. I picture a bunch of grade nines walking the halls confused, and lost as to where they should be going and how to react to others they see or meet. But once they gain some confidence everything is okay and they start making friends getting to know their peers and get to know the high school environment. I can relate to this because i went through the same things.

A great song with a hook!

                               Kids-MGMT

     This song has only one or two hooks but they stick in your head and are very catchy and easy to hum along to and puts the song together.The first and main hook is right at the beginning of the song. The hook is a beat made from drums and a synthesizer or a keyboard I think that because it plays two notes quickly right after each other and have an electric type of sound, that sound could not be from and brass instruments of sting instruments. In the background of this song no instruments are playing the same notes through out the song just in parts and pieces of the song. This makes the vocals standout and have more of an effect. But the downside, weird, or interesting part to the song is that it is not made up like most songs because the dividing of the notes a chords is irregular and stange, but that suits the band being as they are strange as well.

Movie Poster! and yes that is my house and yes i am that baby.
