My Movie Review on Sherlock Holmes....

So I saw Sherlock Holmes tonight with my brother....

Director: Guy Ritchie
Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Mark Strong, Eddie Marsan
Running Time: 2hr 14min‎‎ 

Rated: PG-13‎‎ 

Genre: Action/Adventure/Drama‎

Summary: Sherlock Holmes has made his reputation finding the truth at the heart of the most complex mysteries. With the aid of Dr. John Watson, his trusted ally, the renowned "consulting detective" is unequaled in his pursuit of criminals of every stripe, whether relying on his singular powers of observation, his remarkable deductive skills, or the blunt force of his fists. But now a storm is gathering over London, a threat unlike anything that Holmes has ever confronted...and just the challenge he's looking for. After a string of brutal, ritualistic murders, Holmes and Watson arrive just in time to save the latest victim and uncover the killer: the unrepentant Lord Blackwood. As he approaches his scheduled hanging, Blackwood -- who has terrorized inmates and jailers alike with his seeming connection to dark and powerful forces -- warns Holmes that death has no power over him and, in fact, his execution plays right into Blackwood's plans. And when, by all indications, Blackwood makes good on his promise, his apparent resurrection panics London and confounds Scotland Yard. But to Holmes, the game is afoot. Racing to stop Blackwood's deadly plot, Holmes and Watson plunge into a world of the dark arts and startling new technologies, where logic is sometimes the best crime-fighting weapon...but where a good right hook will often do the job.

This was a really funny movie....It was so good and it is diffidently one of those movies that you want to see in the theaters....Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law do an amazing performance as Sherlock Holmes and Watson....The end left me wanting more so I hope they are planning on making another one :) LOL....

Now rottentomatoes.com gave Sherlock Holmes a 69% on their T-Meter Critic and a 50% on Top Critics....Their Consensus "Guy Ritchie's directorial style might not be quite the best fit for an update on the legendary detective, but Sherlock Holmes benefits from the elementary appeal of a strong performance by Robert Downey, Jr." (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sherlock_holmes_2009/)....

Again when it comes down to what movies you want to see the chose is up to you....Reading some of these movie reviews can sometimes influence people to go see them or to not see them....But if you had already made up your mind to go and see it before you read the reviews then you should go and see it....At lease give it a chance because everyone has their own opinion on things....If you haven't seen the movie down below is the trailer for it and if you have seen it and would like to comment on what you thought of the movie that would be great....I hope this movie review helps you out....

Until next time....

My Movie Review on It's Complicated....

Okay so I saw It's Complicated on Christmas day with my mother and my brother....

Director: Nancy Meyers
Cast: Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin, John Krasinski, Lake Bell
Running Time: 1hr 54min‎‎ 

Rated: R‎‎ 

Genre: Comedy/Romance‎

Summary: Jane is the mother of three grown kids, owns a thriving Santa Barbara bakery/restaurant and has -- after a decade of divorce -- an amicable relationship with her ex-husband, attorney Jake. But when Jane and Jake find themselves out of town for their more »son's college graduation, things start to get complicated. An innocent meal together turns into the unimaginable -- an affair. With Jake remarried to the much younger Agness, Jane is now, of all things, the other woman. Caught in the middle of their renewed romance is Adam, an architect hired to remodel Jane's kitchen. Healing from a divorce of his own, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but soon realizes he's become part of a love triangle. Should Jane and Jake move on with their lives, or is love truly lovelier the second time around? It's -- complicated. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1230414/) 

I personally LOVED the movie!....I thought that they could have done some more funny stuff with Steve Martin but all in all I think it is worth seeing....For me I feel that it is the type of movie that you watch at home and not at a theater....Its a great stay at home date night movie....And I feel that the movie relates to an older audience better than a younger audience given that divorce doesn't happen to people in there early 20's (I hope not....unless its from a crazy night in Vagas but that's another story)....

Now rottentomatoes.com gives it a 52% on their T-Meter Critics and the Top Critics gives it a 56%....They also say for their Consensus, "Despite fine work by an appealing cast, It's Complicated is predictable romantic comedy fare, going for broad laughs instead of subtlety and nuance." (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1208806-its_complicated/?critic=creamcrop)....

But to me you can read all the different critics that are out there and you can decide for yourself if the movie is something that you would like to see....No one can really tell you if something is bad or not because everyone has their own opinion on things and for some people certain are good and to others the movie could suck....Its all about personal preference....So you BE the judge watch the trailer below and then you decide whether or not you want to see it....I hope that this movie review helps you out some and please feel free to leave me a comment telling me your thoughts on the movie if you decide to see it....or if you have seen it already....

Until next time....

It's that time again....

So tis the season to be Jolly! I can't believe that it is Christmas time already....

A whole year has come and gone so fast....So somethings that I like to do for the holiday is decorate....I love to do that and I am sad to say that this year there is no decorations up :'( sad I know but that's what happens when you are in the middle of moving and your not really sure where your going to be....

But on a brighter and more cheerful note another thing that I love to do is sing along to all the Christmas song, watch all the Christmas movies, bake the Christmas cookies....You name it the whole nine yards I love everything about it!....

Though I have to admit that Christmas in Florida is just not the same....I truly do miss the snow fall that we have in Massachusetts....Sometimes when I was probably about in my teenage years (12-16) I would sit in front of my window watch the snow all and drink hot coco while listening to N*SYNC's Christmas CD....Though I still listen to that CD and I still love to drink hot coco around this time....

But when your in a winter wonderland it is exactly just that....A wonderland....You have white snow everywhere, there are twinkling lights on the houses, the smell wood burning from the fire places and even the snow ball fights (are the best!)....

So from my family to yours I hope you have an AMAZING Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa, whatever you and your family celebrate and have a Happy and Safe New Year....

Until next time.... 

My Book: Decode The Secret....

So I was bored a few months back and I decided to write a book....It took me about three to four months to write....I have not gotten it published but I am self publishing it....Right now I am editing my proof copy and I will post more when it is up and ready for purchasing!...

The book is about a high school girl named Hayden Cabell and she has a gift or an "ability" as she calls it that makes it so that she can read minds and heals fast....She has to keep the secret in fear that if someone where to find out she would become a science experiment....You follow her threw finding herself to her first love....

I am currently working on the second installment of the book....I just have been extremely busy and I haven't had a whole lot of time to write....But I do have it started....

The back of the book reads as followed: There is this secret that I hold on to and only one person knows about it....I have so many questions that I wish I had the answers too....but the day I met him I knew from the start that my life was going to change....Was it for the better or was it for the worst....Should I risk it?

I Hate Having Nightmares....

Okay so I'm sure that everyone hates it when you are fast asleep and all of a sudden BOOM! Your awake....Well I HATE that and for me I always wake-up because its either a nightmare or it feels like someone pushes or hits me in a dream....It might not make any sense but trust me it sucks....

Have you ever woken up because your leg or something moved and it felt like you were falling or possibly tripping....Well that's the feeling....Only last night (or shall I say this morning) I had a hard time waking myself up from this dream....And it felt so real....

It was so random as well.... So this is the nightmare....

It started out with me in some sort of theater watching Nick Jonas perform from a helicopter that was suspended from the ceiling....One of the strange things was that he wasn't singing one of his songs it was one that I never heard before (it could be though, who knows)....

Then he like jumped from the helicopter and he transformed into Jacob (NOT Taylor Lautner but his character, it looked like him but it was not)....Then I was looking at the movie screen in the theater and the whole thing that I thought I was seeing in person was really just on screen....

It seemed so real but the part that freaked me out the most as well as it was the part that I tried to wake myself up but couldn't....It was after I saw that on the screen I was mysteriously outside in the dark where there was no lights but the lonely street light at the end of the street....

I was walking and I heard the sound of a car reeving its engine....Whoever it was did it a few times....There were no headlights on either, the only thing that I was able to notice was that it was a blue PT Cruiser....Then it came screeching at me!....I tried to get out of the way but it was like I was frozen in place (at that time I was trying to wake myself up, but it didn't work)....So as the car came towards me all I could do was put my hands up over my face and pray that it didn't hit me....

Then I finally woke-up....At 2am!!!!!! I hate that!!!! Don't you???.... So that was a crazy random dream that I had....Don't know if its interesting or not, but it scared the crap out of me!...So much that I tweeted it....LOL....

Sorry random I know....But that's the point of this blog is to be random....The sky's the limit! If you have any questions or something that you would like me to blog about let me know....Leave a comment and I will answer....

Until next time....

NOH8's 1 Year Anniversary <3

Today is NOH8's 1 year anniversary! So happy for them! Congrats you guys!

NOH8 is a campaign that is for equal marriage rights for anyone to be able to marry anyone that your hear desires....You could be Gay, Lesbian, Straight, Purple and Blue....It does not matter....EVERYONE should be able to be with the person that they are meant to be with!....

On Election Day, November 4, 2008 we got our new president and that was a big turning point for us....But also on that day Proposition 8 passed which amended the state Constitution to ban Same-Sex Marriage....

"The NOH8 Campaign is a photo project and a silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and his partner Jeff Parshley in direct response to the passage of Proposition 8....The campaign started with portraits of everyday Californians who supported Marriage Equality and soon rose to Celebrities, Military Personnel, Brothers and Sisters, Law Enforcement, Lesbian Mothers, Directors, Politicians, Newly Weds, and more....Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths symbolizing their voices not being heard and NOH8 painted on one cheek in protest"....(http://www.bouska.net/noh8/about.htm)










I feel that the NOH8 Campaign is a great idea!...I did my part at home and I took a photo and sent it to them....You should take one too, because my motto is Love is for everyone!...We need to make a World Wide Change and it needs to happen now....not later....NOW!!!!

Because we can't wait our younger generations should not be forced to conform to something that they don't want....This is America land of the FREE and Freedom of Speech and the NOH8 Campaign is expressing that right and I am proud to be supporting them!!!

So what are you waiting for??? Go to http://www.bouska.net/noh8/ RIGHT NOW!!! And find out how you can help!!!

Remember everyone wins if we all pitch in! :)

Until next time....

Team Edward or Team Jacob....That is the question....

Well I have to admit that when Twilight came out I was so Team Edward and even when I was reading the book, but when I got to New Moon I kept thinking to myself that Jacob was so annoying because he seemed to be clingy with Bella....I could be wrong but that's what I got from the book....The movie on the other hand is a different story....I loved how they portrayed Jacob in the movie....

As I continued to read the books I found that I couldn't quite decide whether or not I was Team Jacob or Team Edward because as the books continued the relationship between Jacob, Bella and Edward changed....

So what team does that leave me to choose??? I could go with Team Switzerland(Bella) and like both sides equally....or I could just choose a team like Team Alice, Team Emmet or Team Wolf Pack for an example....

So my decision is still unclear....It changes from day to day....But for right now I think I'm going to choose Team Wolf Pack ("Suck it in and tell the truth")....I love Edward, and Jacob as well as the actors that play them (Rob and Taylor)....But in the New Moon movie the Wolf Pack stole my heart lol....Not to mention that the actors seem to be awesome people! But they are just more fun and full of energy....













I'm sure that this decision will change again soon (once Eclipse comes out)....But until then it will be Team Wolf Pack! :)

Until next time....

Taylor Lautner on SNL

So I wanted to watch SNL with Taylor Lautner on it but I forgot that it was on....So what did I do??? I looked on YouTube for some videos of the episode, just until it comes up on the NBC website... I have to admit the skit that Taylor did on being a teenage girl Edward fan was so funny!!! My favorite part would have to be when he says "Those abs are CGI just like the wolves!" classic ahaha....



You can agree or disagree but to me super funny! :) I will post a link to the video....(If it will let me)









Here is the video:




Until next time....

My Friends and some Awesome People that I have met along the way <3

"Fate decides who walks into your life, but you decide who you let stay, who you let walk away and who you refuse to let go" -Unknown (I don't know who said this sorry)

I have some amazing friends and I have met some amazing people that I consider to be my friends....To me your friends should be someone who you know will not judge you and who will love you for who you are on the inside not for what you are on the outside and sometimes I think that people have a hard time getting a grip on that....Which is sad....because how do you really know if you don't like someone, if you dont even give them a chance in the first place???

I am a person who does not judge people because I get judged all the time and frankly its not fair....So I try to surround myself with people that have such a BIG heart <3

Until next time....

Twilight Fantasy Tour 2009

So on December 5th 2009 I went to the Twilight Fantasy Tour :) It was my first Twilight tour that I have ever gone too....for some of you that don't know what Twilight is then there is something seriously wrong with you (please no offense I do not mean to be rude)

Twilight Saga is a book series that consists of 4 books. Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn....The author is Stephenie Meyer....The books have recently become movies, Twilight came out last year and New Moon just came out in November of this year. Eclipse is set to be released on June 30, 2009 :) so excited....They have not gotten the "Green Light" for Breaking Dawn yet :(

So on December 5th when the Twilight Fantasy Tour was here in Ft. Lauderdale I got my tickets and I went....Let me tell you that it was so worth it!!! I didn't sleep for like 3 days I was too excited lol....And I was there at 4am and it didn't even open until 9am....Again I was just so excited....

I have to give a shout out to Tinsel Korey "Emily", Chaske Spencer "Sam Uley", Justin Chon "Eric", Daniel Cudmore "Felix", Gil Birmingham "Billy Black" and Tyson Houseman "Quil"! They are so NICE! The entire Twilight cast is AWESOME! :)

I got to get my picture taken with Chaske Spencer "Sam Uley" and I have to say that he is the nicest most sweetest person that I have ever met! He is such a doll and I got extremely shy too....When I got my photo taken with him I gave him a drawing that I made for him....

I was blushing so bad that I couldn't even look at him....I felt kinda bad because when the photo was done he said "Bye" and I couldn't even say bye back I was too shy and I really didn't want to trip....ahaha

The whole day was just amazing! I am so thankful that they even came to my area, because before they were either in Miami or Orlando and I wasn't able to go so a big shout out to everyone that made the Twilight Fantasy Tour even possible and trust me when I tell you that it was not easy because they had a lot of problems with the tour....

So big THANKS again to everyone involved and to the cast that came to the tour YOU GUYS ROCK! \m/ (-_-) \m/ PLEASE DON'T EVER CHANGE!

LOVE all of you!

Until next time....

Rpattz Tattoo Say What????

So that's a catchy tittle for a blog post huh??? Well its true, I did get an Rpattz tattoo :) and I so was not ready for what came next....

On May 11, 2009 I decided to be extremely random and unique by getting my favorite actors autograph tattooed on my left wrist....I know what you are probably thinking...Why on EARTH would I do such a thing??? Its simple really I have one life and I want to live it to the fullest and do absolutely anything that I can possibly do in the process....For getting this tattoo I have had so many HATE comments, I even had one girl write a hate blog about me (well one post anyways) and she took what I said out of context (or tried to anyways)....

But what people don't realize is that I don't care what others think of me....I really don't. I'm going to live MY LIFE the way that I want too, NOT how others want me to live it....I'm DONE trying to fit in and trying to be like everyone else, because news flash NO ONE IS THE SAME!

So here is what I had written in response to what others have said about my tattoo:

OK so everyone has their own thoughts on my RPattz tattoo and that’s totally fine we are all entitled to our own opinions....people have called me crazy, insane, a stalker and I just laugh at all of it (ahahaha)! I might be crazy and a little insane for getting the tattoo but I’m no way a stalker....I’ve never met him and if I ever did I would not scream, freak out, cry or chase him down the street when he's just trying to go hangout with some of his friends....I would just say hi and I would tell him that I think he's very talented & that I cant wait to see what he does in the future....and if I could ask him just one question it would be how does he stay so grounded when everyone is freaking out and calling him in every direction?....

So the question still remains why did I get the tattoo?....people think that OMG its because I’m in love with Edward (the character that he played in Twilight) sorry to burst anyone’s bubble but that’s not the reason why....I first saw RPattz in the Harry Potter film, I thought he did a good job and I wanted to see if he had done any other movies....I saw The Bad Mothers Handbook online (I personally liked that movie)....I then heard that he was going to be in Twilight and I wanted to see the movie (I didn’t read the books until after I saw the movie because I didn’t know that it was a book saga)....I’ve also see The Haunted Airman (kind of creep and weird but good) and How To Be (that was the most random weird awesome movie that I have ever seen, that is one of my favorite movies because its so different)....I also like his music as well....

The reason for the RPattz tattoo is because he is so talented and he stays so grounded and down to earth....I like the fact that he said that fame has not changed him (yea some stars have gotten a massive ego and such from getting so much attention but he seems like a person who really could care less about the fame and is more focused on the actual projects that he is involved in)....plus I like how his signature looks (ahahaha)....people say that I will probably regret having the tattoo but u haven’t lived your life if u haven’t got g to regret later on (ahahaha)....

And FYI there are a lot of people that have a celebrities signature/name on them the only reason why everyone has been giving me crap about it and for it being all over the internet saying "Robert Pattinson’s Fan Tattoos His Name, Taking it a Little Too Fare"....its all because I was the first one to do it and post a picture of it (I’m sure that there are some people out there that have been thinking about doing something like that weather or not its for RPattz or another celeb & don’t lie cause I’m sure you have at one time or another)....

So to all the haters out there that don’t like RPattz and think that I’m some crazy, insane, stalker you can keep on hating if you like but I don’t care and I cant speak for RPattz but I don’t think he cares either (meaning about the haters)....we all have just one life and we need to live that life to the fullest, life can be so beautiful if you let it!....do what you want, you can do or be anything that you want if you set your mind to it!....ohh and one last thing I will always support RPattz :)

Its long I know but I had to make a point....to all the people that said nice comments or were defending me THANKS! and to all the haters that still think I'm crazy, shut the @%$#*&@#$!.....yeah that's a nice way to put it :)

Until next time....

Time flys....

Okay so WOW I totally spaced that I even had a Blog lol :) I was reading the other two posts that I have and man does that sound depressing or what??? Well things pretty much haven't changed....I'm sad to say that I am moving again....but things will look up! As a matter a fact they have! :)

So what has changed since 2007? A lot! I switched schools and majors....but I'm happy to say that I LOVE going to school for Culinary Management :) its so much fun! I mean who doesn't love to eat?!

So I'm two years older, a hell of a lot more wiser and even more random than I was before! So since I have moved to the Fabulous state of Florida I have gained some awesome new friend, found a book series that I absolutely LOVE, had some horrible relationships, I'm addicted to TWITTER!, I lost a close family friend, got 5 new tattoos, was unemployed for about 1 year and recently met my very first celebrity :) Oh and don't forget I wrote a book too.....Who would have thought me writing a book? Its only self-published and I'm still doing some editing on it....but I still wrote one :)

So now what??? Well I guess that I will create another post talking about some of the stuff that has changed my LIFE! So until next time.....
