Review: The Theory of Everything

10/30/2014

A look at the relationship between the famous physicist Stephen Hawking and his wife.

I thought this movie was amazing. Eddie Redmayne played Stephen Hawking really well as if he really was Stephen Hawking. I liked Jonathan because he helped Jane take care of Stephen when she needed it. I really disliked how the people judged him because he was disabled.It's not fair how they do that. I think that Eddie should win an award for this movie and I don't think any movie has a chance to beat it. I also liked that when he fell that all of the students went to help him. I also thought it was sad when he fell like that. It also looked really painful. It's amazing that he was able to figure all that stuff out about black holes and time. I also really enjoyed the two Doctor Who references. EXTERMINATE!!!!! It was funny that he was pretending to be a Dalek. I also liked how the three kids were like best friends at the end of the movie and playing with each other. You must see this movie.

review: before i go to sleep

10/29/2014

A woman wakes up every day, remembering nothing as a result of a traumatic accident in her past. One day, new terrifying truths emerge that force her to question everyone around her.

I liked this movie but it took too long to get to the point of the story. The writers tried to stretch it out but it didn't work good for the movie. I liked that was one big puzzle to solve. There were only seven characters in this entire movie. It wasn't bad for a movie that only has seven people in it. It was obvious that she was gonna get her memory back. It was about her trying to remember things. I did not like Mike at all. He was crazy and hid things from her. I was curious about Dr.Nasch in the beginning of the movie. That would be a terrible life if someone was actually living that. There should have been more to it like something exploding or more characters. It was kind of boring because they stretched the story out.

Review: Ouija

10/22/2014

A girl is mysteriously killed after recording herself playing with an ancient Ouija Board, which leads to a close group of friends to investigate this board. They later find out that some things aren't meant to be played with, especially the 'other side'.

I didn't like this movie at all. It's obviously geared towards teenagers, but it's pretty obvious the writer didn't spend time with with any actual teenagers. I would like to believe that teenagers are not that stupid to go into creepy places inside creepy houses armed with only flashlights and no adult supervision. I would also like to believe that they are smart enough to follow the rules when it came to playing a creepy board game and to think for themselves when it came to keeping themselves safe. I did like Nona. She was a wise woman who knew to stay away from the creepy house and gave good advice.

Review: The Good Lie

10/20/2014

Sudanese refugees given the chance to resettle in America arrive in Kansas, where their encounter with employment agency counselor forever changes all of their lives.

I liked this movie a lot. I found it really cool that two of the characters are played by real life Sudanese refugees. I don't think it's right that they had to be refugees in the first place. I thought it was funny how they were trying to figure out how to use our technology. I liked how they visited Jack's cows a lot. I liked that Carrie offered to house Abital so she could be with her brothers. I really disliked the store manager for being mean to Jeremiah for helping someone. I really liked that they didn't have the same parents but considered themselves brothers and sister to each other. They took care of each other like they were a family. I liked that Theo saved them from the soldiers and still lived after being caught. The story was told very well and it made me sad that we live like we do and they spend their lives running away from home to survive.

Review: bring it

10/19/2014

Bring It! is a new dance reality show which focuses on the dance team, The Dancing Dolls, from Mississippi. They are a competition dance team, and their style is, "Hip-Hop Majorettes." Coach D is a strong woman, with a no-nonsense personality, and drives the girls under her to be the best they can be. Still, she has a human side, and she does care about the girls, and tries to be supportive of them.

I like watching this show. I think the moms saying outside of the studio is a good rule. It won't distract the girls.I think the baby dolls are really cute. They are all really good dancers. I find it funny that for both teams their captain's name is Kayla.
I think out of all the team chants that you hear DD4L is the best. None of the others make sense to me or it just sounds weird to me. I thought it was really cool that they did a travel camp and taught girls from other states to dance like them. I think Sunjai is getting better each time and I'm glad she was able to make it to the stand battles. She worked really hard for it and deserves to be there. I hope she stays where she's at. I always like the dances that Coach D gives them. Also there were some battles where Dancing Dolls should have won. Especially the one they had an extra judge they weren't told about. I do think Sunjai's mom does go a little overboard when Sunjai is in the spotlight though. Their moms arguing isn't fun to listen to either.

UPDATE:
I really dislike the coach for The Divas of Olive Branch. Her girls were talking during stand battle while the Dancing Dolls were dancing, and then she denied that it happened. This upset me. She also called Miss D a liar. Every time she said her Divas wouldn't do that, it made me dislike her even more. I'm glad the Dolls won anyway. They were really good. I would've been really mad if the Divas ended up with the trophy because of how they acted. The coach didn't even address the problem and just walked away before they announced the winner. That is unsportsmanlike.

review: dance moms

10/19/2014

Set in Pittsburgh's renowned Abby Lee Dance Company, owned and operated by notoriously demanding and passionate instructor Abby Lee Miller, the series follows children's early steps on the road to stardom, and their doting mothers who are there for every rehearsal, performance and bow...all under the discerning eye of Miller. Seeing the highs and lows surrounding competition season delivers an intriguing and dramatic look at the cast's frantic pursuit of the ultimate National Dance title.

I like watching the girls on this show dance.I think the dances are beautiful. My three favorite dancers are Chloe,Mackenzie, and Maddie. I do like all the girls though. I don't understand why Cathy is still on this show.She annoys me so much. She doesn't even teach her students anything.She hires a different choreographer every time.Also she is too obsessed with beating Abby and Abby doesn't even care about Cathy.I also get really annoyed with Cathy always showing up in the ALDC's dressing room to cause a problem.If you don't want a problem between the the two studio's then stop making one. The moms arguing all the time isn't great either. One day they are all friends and the next they despise each other. I also think the moms need to trust Abby a little more.Abby does have a strange way of teaching the kids but at least they are learning something right?

UPDATE: I like the new season. I like watching the dances the best. I was really surprised when the moms didn't argue. they always argue. It was terrible that the court officer brought law papers into her studio with the kids there. Whatever it is about, I'm sure Kelly is at fault too, not just Abby. It was really unfair to do that on camera and in her studio. The dances are my favorite because the kids are really good and the dances are creative. The kids at Abby's studio are really good dancers.

review: alexander and the terrible,horrible,no good,very bad day

10/11/2014

Alexander's day begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by more calamities. Though he finds little sympathy from his family and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him, his mom, dad, brother, and sister all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

I thought this was a really good movie. I did not know someone's day could be that horrible. I would really dislike to have that bad of a day. I remember that there was a book but I don't remember that the whole family had a bad day. I thought it was just him. The baby was adorable. The movie was funny and cute.I like Bella Thorne but I did not like her character. I also liked that when Anthony had to chose between going to prom with his girlfriend and his family he chose to stick by his family. I liked that they got to work with animals. I think that was really cool. I liked Emily. She looks very different from when she was younger and in Girl vs. Monster.I also had no idea she was in Walk the Line or Just Like Heaven. I liked both of those movies too.

review: how to get away with murder

10/10/2014

A group of ambitious law students and their brilliant criminal defense professor become involved in a twisted murder plot that promises to change the course of their lives.

It's a new version of Legally Blonde. I found so many connections to Legally Blonde in this show. The law student was unprepared,the teacher had to chose interns, and they represent the people who are accused of being guilty. Except I think they really are guilty in this show. It also looked like at one point she was trying to hint on a student like the teacher did in Legally Blonde. The show is one of those shows that when you watch it you have to continue to watch it. I have only seen two of three episodes and I love it. It will blow your mind.BOOM!!!! Mind blown. I did not realize this show would be as good as it is. The crazy stuff that happens in the show will definitely shock you. I don't know if they could make another crime show after this. This coming from a girl whose favorite crime show is CSI: Miami.I also thought Perception was really good but this one is so different.

Review: gotham

10/10/2014

The origin story behind Commissioner James Gordon's rise to prominence in Gotham City in the years before Batman's arrival.

BATMAN!!! I love me some Batman. I like how it's before Batman shows up. I like guessing who is going to turn out to be what villain or character. So far I figured out Cat woman, Penguin, and possibly Poison Ivy. I'm still trying to figure out the Joker but I have an idea who he is, and I thought I figured out Harley Quinn but I was wrong. It's a very good show and I love it. I think Jada Smith plays Fish Mooney very well. NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA Batman!! I have no idea who Harvey Bullock is nor have I ever heard of him. I also never knew that the Waynes kind of owned Gotham. At least that's how all of the character's make it sound. I do like the Alfred from the Dark Knight better though.

UPDATE:
So now I figured out who the Riddler is but I may or may not be wrong about the Penguin. I read something that says he actually may be the Joker but it doesn't work if you think about his qualities. He is skinny like the Joker but he walks like a Penguin. He does use a knife like the Joker though. I'm still working on it.It's one giant puzzle that I will solve. I'm also trying to find Scarecrow, Mr.Freeze, Harley Quinn, and Bane who may not actually be there. I'm waiting to find out if I'm right about Poison Ivy and to find someone who loves birds to see if they changed it up a bit. I really do love this show a lot though.

UPDATE:
Now all the cops don't like Gordon.What?I thought it was funny that Alfred actually allowed Bruce to punch the kid.I liked that he asked Alfred to teach him to fight too.This is the very beginning of Batman.I don't watch Sleepy Hallow but I am wondering why Gordon went to Sleepy Hollow.I noticed that on the commercial for Sleepy Hollow.This show just gets better and better.I can't wait for the next one.

review: flash

10/10/2014

The adventures of scientist Barry Allen who is a superhero with incredible speed.

I really liked this show but I was really confused about the floating liquid at the beginning and the end of the show. I liked that they had Arrow appear in the show. I never knew Flash's real name was Barry Allen. I had a feeling that the scientist that built the machine was evil. He looked that way at the end too. Caitlin Snow looked familiar to me but that's because she worked with Disney before. I like Iris West but her dad was a little tough on Barry until he saw it with his own eyes. If you truly like superheroes this would be a good thing to watch . I learned stuff about Flash that I never knew. The floating liquid though still bugs me. Liquid can't do that unless its in space.

UPDATE:
I am really confused about Dr. Wells.Is he evil or not?Barry should just tell Iris because she is going to find out eventually that he is the "red streak" everyone is talking about. Isn't that how superhero movies/shows work.They try to keep it a secret from the girl they like,she finds out, and then she gets kidnapped by the villain. Dr.Wells planned Barry getting these powers is what confused me about the last episode I saw. That is why I am more curious to find out if he really is evil.
