# Movie Review: I Didn't Come Here To Die

Okay. If you want to watch this, know this movie is extremely aware of how cheesy it is. With that being said, this movie is so amazingly B that it's epically amazing. I love horror movies, I love horror movies that are crazily cheesy even more. The acting in this is so bad. The script is terrible. The effects are awful, but this movie is fantastic. Don't take it seriously. With a tagline like: Volunteer work is killer, how you can you not be intrigued? If you like movies like the horror films: Black Sheep, Evil Dead, and Bubba Ho-Tep, this movie is right up your alley!! The people who made this film know exactly what they were doing. Seriously, if you can't handle a ridiculous horror film-- don't watch this. IF YOU DO-- watch it!!

# Movie Review: The Bling Ring
Friday, September 27, 2013 / permalink
The Bling Ring
If I believed in Jesus, I would be praying to Jesus to have the time spent watching this film back. This movie was SO bad. I love Emma Watson, but the poor dear girl was cast in a terrible.... terrible film. All the main characters sound like they are high 95% of the time. It's punishment to sit and watch. I don't understand how such a good movie premise ended up being such a lousy film. You have all these kids who rob celebrities. Sounds like a good idea......... just like lots of Mexican food is a good idea right up until you make a visit to the bathroom later on. This movie was so painful to sit through. The acting was bad, the script was HORRIBLE, and the movie looked like a washed out mess. Seriously save yourself the money on this. It was just terrible. I can't even say ENOUGH bad things about it. Marie Antoinette was really good, so I felt I could trust Sofia Coppola. *Sigh* Also the people who this movie is based on see like shitty people... so yeah.

# Musical Artist Review: Jamie Alimorad
Sunday, September 22, 2013 / permalink
This is actually a request. So I am going to give it a listen.
I am going to listen to the songs on his Facebook and do a review of each, because that is how I roll.
Right away I love the amount of instruments in the song. It's very full sounding. This has a very rock vibe to it. I don't really like the lyrics that much though. It kind of reminds of weird diary writings. Kind of cheesy lyrics. It's very Rick Springfieldish. I do love Rick Springfield though...The music is really good though. Like really good. This song overall is fun, but the lyrics don't do it for me. I just don't like the chorus. I feel like I am lambasted with "Tiffany". This songs is strong musically speaking. I really love the arrangement.
This right away reminds me of a "Something Corporate" called "21 and Invincible"
The arrangement in this song is so good. It's really well put together. His voice is pretty good too. This was a fun song, but forgettable.
I can't get over over how every song has great music in it. I don't know what's going on with the beginning voice effect, but it's not great. Love his voice in this one. It sounds a little bit more soulful. I really like songs that you can feel it to your soul, this is the first one on this album that has a faint inkling of that feeling. I just can't help feeling like something is missing though. Good powerful song with GREAT music. I could see myself jamming this in the car.. the looks be damned. Good good song, BUT I think I hear some auto-tuning in the end and it's pretty blatant.
Oh boy. What was that beginning? It didn't fit AT ALL. I felt like the GPS told me to go right and then I crashed into a wall. This has a very countryish vibe to it. Like the kind of country that pisses off veteran country singers. There is obvious auto-tuning in this as well. I don't know how I feel about that. To me that says that the singer couldn't hold pitch in the recording studio. If you can't even hold pitch on your own songs... well. I really liked this song until I heard the auto-tuning. It really takes away from the song. If there isn't auto-tuning in this, I don't know. Maybe it was badly edited, but there shouldn't be glottal stops unless you are singing in a language that has many of them. I am just warning you, if I hear anymore blatant auto-tune, this review is over.
Very funky rock. This has a running in the rain towards a goal feel. GREAT harmonies. Music is fantastic... except for that weird ass giggle that just happened. God the harmonies are tight on this! Great song. Really really great!
Has a "Killers" vibe.... yup... autotune.. done.

Okay this guy has a fantastic voice. I could handle auto tune if it's done in a tongue in cheek way or in a way that isn't noticeable. But I wonder how much of his voice is him or auto-tune? If you have vocal flaws... OWN IT. I just don't like that I don't know if this is his voice or not. I can't explain it. I don't like hearing blatant auto-tune shifts. Like I said, that says to me that the artist can't keep in tune. The music is phenomenal. The arrangements are masterfully done. I just don't know if he is strong vocally or not.
Overall feeling?

I saw your review for Hanson's new album Anthem and I really liked what you said. I'm a big Hanson fan and I really love the new work. Idk if you do independent artists that aren't as big as Hanson, but there's this guy out of Boston. His name is Jamie Alimorad and he's absolutely amazing. Would love for you to review his new album Words Left Unsaid. Check out his page at http://facebook.com/jamiealimorad

# Book Review: The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong
Friday, September 20, 2013 / permalink
The Gathering by Kelley ArmstrongMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I wasn't sure about this book because I was so upset how the first half of this series went. I love Chloe and all the others in the Darkest Powers books, but once I started reading this and realizing how the books started to tie together, it was awesome. Maya loves animals and lives in a wildlife park with her family. They live in a town that is run by a research group. They pretty much have an awesome life. When things start getting weird, it's up to Maya and her friends to figure out what is going on in their town. This is a page turner. You will love this first installment with Maya and her friends. P.S. I want a pet bobcat!

# Book Review: Divergent by Veronica Roth
Monday, September 16, 2013 / permalink
Divergent by Veronica RothMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I wasn't really sure what to expect when I went into this novel, but I loved it. Veronica Roth's world and characters are so perfectly synchronized. Sometimes you read books and the world is great, but the characters are bad, and vice versa, but the Divergent world is so artfully put together. I love the main character Tris evolves and you see it. You grow with her. You feel when she feels. It's hard for an author to do this to me and Roth does it flawlessly. I would recommend this book to anyone and don't go into it trying to compare it to the Hunger Games. Tris is not Katniss and the Divergent world is not Districts. Roth's story is so much more in depth and emotional. READ IT!
