No More Movies..


I feel as if the whole movie thing isn't working out..there just isn't enough time in the day to sit down and watch a movie and plus I can't be critical because I am a normally happy person. Don't believe me? Below is my schedule for TODAY...

  • Thursday
    • 6 a.m.- 8 a.m.--Wake up and get ready for school
    • 8:02 a.m.- 3:30 p.m.--Go to school, and sit through 5, 75 min. class periods...
    • 3:31 p.m.- 3:45 p.m.--go home and get ready for work and clock into work..
    • 3:50 p.m.- 9:30 p.m.--work. work. and WORK..
    • 9:35 p.m.- 10:00 p.m.-- come home, talk to mom about my day..
    • 10:00 p.m.- 12:00 a.m./1:00 a.m.--doing homework
    • and then my day starts all over again..
Fun huh?! Yeah now try adding speech and drama, plus cheer practice and keeping my grades up so I can cheer and compete. I almost have no time to myself. So the movie option is out the window and plus with the whole movie blog I could never really reach out and be like, "hey, I like her shoes /hair/makeup." because instead I had to be judgemental (which I can't be!) and I am now OFFICIALLY making this blog about fashion, hair, celebs, and my life in a nutshell! WOO-HOOOOO!!!

So I never really got to share my views about what I like so here is a list of things

1. I don't know where my life is going, all I know is that it's happening so fast
2. I don't like writing on paper, I like using a computer
3. When writing on paper I refuse to use a pencil and my teachers get upset.
4. I am obsessed with 90's music
5. I love Nickelback (hate now me now, thank me later)
Chad Kroeger..mmmmm <3
6. I have a fear of having bad breath and chapped lips..I always carry gum and green apple chapstick with me.
7. I also have a fear of needles, but I got my nose pierced and it didn't hurt, so i'm kinda thinking about getting a tattoo
8. My family tree is so messed up and big..
9. I love my cat..looooooove her more than anything (:
10. I used to hate GLEE. but then i watched the 1st season and I love it!
11. I have been told by a college professor that I sound like Lea Michele when I sing..
12. I really want a blue or pink chevy cavalier
Like this!!! So stinkin' cute!!! So totally me!! Ugh..I can wish though

13. I love makeup! 'Specially eyeshadow and eyeliner!
This is how my eyes look today..except this isn't actually me! I wish though because she has nice eyebrows..mine are just kinda like ew.
 
14. I have an obsession with reality shows (Honey Boo-Boo Child!!!!!, Breaking Amish, Teen Mom, Jersey Shore) but I never have time for tv..
I just think her family is so funny

15. My interests in a future career have ranged from a doctor to a zookeeper..
16. My whole room is done in Marilyn Monroe (:

I know, I know..i'm a pretty awesome person (; haha so I guess this post was mainly to tell you a little bit more about myself and to also establish that I can't watch movies and be critical so the topic is gonna change. Sorry if this upsets anyone, I just didn't want to do anything that wasn't fun, and I'm sure there are better and greater movie bloggers out there (in fact, I know there is!)

What i'm listening to: Wonderwall
Quote of Today: "If what you've done is stupid but it works, then it really isn't that stupid at all." -David Letterman

I love y'all <3 byeeee

That's the way we get down..in a hicktown


Ugh. I hate blogging. So far nobody has commented on any of my posts. LIKE REALLY?! I feel like I’m going to die if I don’t get attention. I know that sounds really needy, but I also feel like if I don’t get viewers now, that when, and if, I were to switch my blog topic I would have to build up my rep again. I originally wanted to do this blog on fashion (think Vogue..) and hair styles, but it wasn’t really a go because I live in Montana and I don’t see a whole lot of people wearing Dior or Louboutins. The majority of people around here own at least 2 pairs of any kind of boot, rock huge belt buckles, and most ride horses. Hey, you call it hick, we just call it pride and hard work.
Here are some $595.00 Dior sunglasses..
 and $2295.00 Louboutin boots..I just cried a little at how lovely they look!

I wish I could visit California, or live in France. I love the art, and fashion and plus California makes movies and France has good food, or so I’ve been told by my aunt who lived there for years.  J'ai pris une année de français, (I took a year of French class) so that’s why I’d go to France/Europe. Welp, class is almost over so I must end this post for now. Ciao, a demain, bye!

Movie Sequels? No or Yes?


Do you ever watch a movie and at the end of the movie you think to yourself, “They have to make a sequel, they just have to!” I know I do and lately I’ve been doing a little bit of research on if the movies I like (Monsters Inc., Project X, Paranormal Activity…etc.) are going to have sequels. I found out, they are! According to www.denofgeek.com and www.movie-moron.com some MAJOR sequels will be coming out as early as next month, or as late as 2014. (TRON 3?!) I’m not so sure I’m really excited about all of them, but here is a list of movies that are in talks or production…

Cloud With a Chance of Meatballs: Revenge of the Leftovers (February 2014)
  • What could be better than food falling from the sky? Uhh, nothing!

Ghostbusters III
  • Not a green light yet, but it’s in talks…what I’m wonder is how could they ever out-do the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man?!

Final Destination 5
  • Another movie about death coming after them…and I’m sure they’ll make a sixth one...and a seventh one too

How to Train Your Dragon 2
  • Great movie for kids, it out-did Megamind at the box-office, but I just couldn’t get into the first one, but i guess I’ll give this one a shot..

Iron Man 3
  • Robert Downey Jr., I love you! ‘Nuff said. J

Marvel’s Avengers 2
  • I wasn’t thrilled with the first one, sure there are some good-looking actors, but I did love the Hulk enough that I’ll watch this one.

Madagascar (2015)
  • We get it, the animals want to go home or to Connecticut. Why must Dreamworks continue to drag this on?

Oz The Great and Powerful (2013)
  • I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE!!!!!
 
     

Monster’s University (prequel to Monster’s Inc.)
  • I've always wanted Disney/Pixar to do a second movie of Monster's Inc., but I wanted it to involve Boo..like at the end of the first movie they show her door and the light above it turns on! When i found out that Disney wasn't going to continue with the same storyline, but instead present how Sulley and Mike met I was a bit upset, however, you can't please everyone!

Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters
  • This is a do! Loved the books, loved the first movie, anticipating this one! Logan Lerman will reprise his role as Percy..uhhh YAY!!

Pirates of the Caribbean 5
  • No. Just. No. Sorry everyone, but this movie series is just getting old. Captain Jack Sparrow is getting old, and Johnny Depp, well he isn’t getting any younger..
Tron 3 (2013)
  • During signings at Disney’s D23 event last week (NOTE: this was in 2011..), a fan asked about his interest in returning for TRON 3 to which Bruce Boxlietner confidently replied:”Oh, it’s already a done deal. It’s already in the works, my friend.”  According to Screenrant.com (2011), Tron won't drop until the end of 2013 or early 2014.
And there you have it folks, more sequels to look forward to! Which ones are you looking forward to or are you totally thinking to yourself, "really..?!" Leave it in the comments below!

"One time, she punched me in the face. It was AWESOME."

Happy Friday!

It's Friday, Friday..gotta get down on Friday! Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend! Oh sorry, It's just that it's Friday and i'm wondering if Rebecca Black was in high school with Regina George if she'd be a plastic. Probably not.

"Oh my god Rebecca you can't repeat Friday TWENTY-SEVEN times!"
So today Mean Girls is the topic of my blog and I had the idea to write a review for this movie ever since school started. Why?, because high school these days is hard. Think about it...the homework, the cliques, the friend that hates your other friend so you can't say anything, and most of all, the pressure to fit in. Don't get me wrong, high school can be fun, but only if you make it and have some awesome friends like I do! 



Mean Girls is a movie that was released in 2004 and stars Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, Amanda Seyfried, and Lindsey Lohan before she turned into a cracked-out, loony-bin. Lohan plays Cady (pronounced Katie), a home schooled girl who moves to the States and finally goes to high school. While in school she meets Janis Ian, (played by the amazing Lizzy Caplin!) and Damian (Daniel Franzese) who befriend her and show her around. Soon Cady is invited to sit with the Plastics (a group of popular girls who resemble Barbies, thus the name the Plastics) at lunch. The Plastics are made up of Regina George (McAdams), Gretchen Wieners (Chabert), and Karen Smith (Seyfried). Cady does sit with them which sparks a year-long scheme made by Janis to crack Regina down! 

Janis: And evil takes a human form in Regina George. Don't be fooled because she may seem like your typical selfish, back-stabbing slut faced ho-bag, but in reality, she's so much more than that. 

Janis and Regina used to be friends until Regina went and spread a bunch of rumors about Janis being apart of the rainbow..

"Cady: Hey! 
Regina: Why were you talking to Janis Ian? 
Cady: I don't know, I mean, she's so weird, she just, you know, came up to me and started talking to me about crack. 
Regina: She's so pathetic. Let me tell you something about Janis Ian. We were best friends in middle school. I know, right? It's so embarrassing. I don't even... Whatever. So then in eighth grade, I started going out with my first boyfriend Kyle who was totally gorgeous but then he moved to Indiana, and Janis was like, weirdly jealous of him. Like, if I would blow her off to hang out with Kyle, she'd be like, "Why didn't you call me back?" And I'd be like, "Why are you so obsessed with me?" So then, for my birthday party, which was an all-girls pool party, I was like, "Janis, I can't invite you, because I think you're lesbian." I mean I couldn't have a lesbian at my party. There were gonna be girls there in their *bathing suits*. I mean, right? She was a L******. So then her mom called my mom and started yelling at her, it was so retarded. And then she dropped out of school because no one would talk to her, and she came back in the fall for high school, all of her hair was cut off and she was totally weird, and now I guess she's on crack."

And now Janis wants revenge and plans to use Cady to become popular to hear all of the Plastics' secrets. The Plastics have secrets and write down stuff about people in this "burn book," which talks trash about the whole school. Cady eventually ditches Janis and Damien for her new life which backfires when Regina makes copies of the burn book's pages and spreads them around the school. This makes Cady look like a total *insert female dog name here* and everybody hates her. In the end, the girls become friends again and get along.

Mean Girls is your average teen movie. It has some pretty good laughs and truths behind it. It doesn't paint a perfect picture, but I get it, you can't make a movie two hours long and have everything perfect. It just doesn't work that way. The characters are all well-casted (except for Lohan..I really hate her..) This movie isn't for little kids, the word $@#! pops up numerous times along with *bleep and *bleep. I really liked how true the movie was to high school, but not everything was right. Now I must say, in school, if you talk trash about someone, sure people get mad and hate you for like a day, and then pretend to like you and/or forgive you. In Mean Girls, this isn't the case. Also, cliques here don't dress alike and have certain days where they wear a certain thing. Well, I take that back, some do, but that's only because they like to be in control. All in all i'm giving this movie an eight out of ten.

This Is So Fetch!

Happy Wednesday!

Today is a lazy day for me because yesterday I went to a college fair and all that thinking about where I want to go to college and what I want to do when I graduate, fried my brain just a tad bit! Did you know the average four-year college costs have gone up 15%? (USA Today) Yeah..money and school stresses me out. So bear with me if I start rambling on about random topics. As I said last week in the Cast Away post, I wil be doing a post about the movie Mean Girls (2004). If you're a guy you might be thinking, "Why a chick flick?!" but if you're a girl you might be thinking "Err meh gerd I LOVE Mean Girls!" The reason behind this future post is because I want to uncover the facts and myths about how high school is portrayed in this movie. Sure you have your cliques, but not all of us actually call each other vulgar names. I can't wait for Friday because this post is going to be SO FETCH!

Wilson!!!
Chances are if you read my title, you might have an idea as to what movie I’m going to review today. If you guessed Cast Away, you’re right!! If not, well maybe you’ve been stranded on an island without movies for too long. Below is the trailer and the general overview of the movie, courtesy of www.youtube.com and www.imdb.com


A FedEx executive must transform himself physically and emotionally to survive a crash landing on a deserted island.”

Now I don't know about you guys, but I totally thought this movie was awesome! Sure, it had its flaws,(Click here to see the flaws from Cast Away) and came out 12 years ago, but once again Robert Zemeckis and Tom Hanks totally got it right. Don’t get me wrong, I love Tom Hanks, but watching him struggle while living alone for about two hours sort of got repetitive, but alas! Tom Hanks finally gets saved after trying to leave the island and having nobody to talk to for a few years besides a volleyball named, “Wilson.” Hey, if you were on an island for four years I bet you'd talk to a stationary object too! In the end Chuck (Hanks)  is saved and returns to his girlfriend Kelly (Hunt). However, Kelly has since moved on with her life because she thought Chuck was dead. She gives him the keys to his car, and they both part seperate ways. (insert sappy sigh here..)I really liked how the movie was set up and how well Tom Hanks portrayed being alone. I didn't like how time obsessed Chuck (Hanks) was, cause it kind of made him come off as a jack-wagon. I guess it was an important part of the movie because they kept reiterating "time is everything." I'm giving this movie eight out of ten stars. It's not getting a ten just because of all the flaws. Also, does anybody know if the Elvis theme means anything in this movie? I caught on to that right away...hmmm. I'll have to check. Stick around for this week's movie, Mean Girls! Until then, avoir!
