RATA-TERRIFIIC!

Rataouille

5/5

Animated movies have hit a new high this year as Ratatouille and Surf's Up have become 2 of the best rated films of the year. Ratatouille being the 6th best rated ever! It's no suprise that this movie is continuously getting amazing reviews, because that's basically what it is. Whether its the fact that you're falling in love with a tiny, ugly rat that most of us have probably trapped in our basements, or expressing iun interest in cooking, this movie is a truly curageous display of animals doing what you would never suspect.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Ratatouille is an inventive wonder of a movie, I can't believe how well done a kids movie could ever be. I am no longer discouraged by animated movies. It was a cute delight of tastes (shall i say)! It's a must see!

LOWLIGHTS:

Why do i bother...

Ratatouile is an fun and inventive comedy that is better for an adult viewer than a kid viewer. Love it!

End of the Month Newsletter...

OKAY! June has been a great month, although the worthless sequels i just reviewed may not be amazing, the other things made up for it. Plus, I have a record-breaking 20 posts!!! I am proud, now i'm at 61 posts in total, hopefully 100 by the end of august. With that being said, Artist of July wil not be an artist, nor band, but characters. The Characters of the Month are...THE SIMPSONS FAMILY! in celebration of The Simpsons Movie, in theatres July 27th. The best CD of June has been split into 2 parts, Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad and Kelly Clarkson-My December. My December is better, but Rihanna is worth resembling. The Best Movie of June is yet to be determined, I still have to see "Ratatouille (hopefully today)" and Live Free or Die Hard. I can say with confidence that there are 2 movies that have it topped at this point: F4 Rise of the Silver Surfer and Surf's Up. Whether I have 2 winners is undecided. July looks like an amazing month and has great movies, but is slow on music. Hope this blog continues to greatness.

These 13 need to be Drowned!

Ocean's 13

2/5

Another hell of a movie in June. This movie is possibly the worst movie ever with the best cast. This time around, the crew robs a casino, WAIT A MINUTE! They already did that in movie 1. But it HAS to be different this time because it's bout revenge *rolls eyes*. I have to admit, the plot was well thought out, but was not done out well. So you couldn't exactly understand everything unless you waited for the end, which i had to. Believe me when i saw everyone in that theatre was waiting for that god-awful movie to finish.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Like I said before, the movie had a great cast and the polot was good, just not presented well. At least there was a climax.

LOWLIGHTS:

I'm not sure who # 12 and 13 are in this movie or what happened to Julia Roberts in the previous one, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter, it would not have changed the boredom that takes over in this movie. By the way, me falling asleep in the theatre doesn't really tingle my tastes being woken up 2 minutes later by the bright screen.

In final, don;t even rent this movie on DVD, it was so bad, I can;t imagine who would buy it.

Nothing Almighty About This!

Evan Almighty

1/5

One word:

CRAP!!!


HIGHLIGHTS:

Creative Sequel

Steve Carell is a good actor

Wanda Sykes saved this movie and gave it 1

LOWLIGHTS:

EVERYTHING.

NO JOKES

NO Intense Climax

NO favourable scenes

CRAP!!

My-My; December is Looking HOT!

Kelly Clarkson-My December

5.5/5

Okayy, 5.5 is not exactly possible, but because this is my favourite album EVER, it has to be possible. So, with that being said, My December is the third of Kelly's releases. It is obviously the best, with Thankful getting a 2/5 and Breakaway getting a 4/5. Kelly has evolved from American Idol puppet, to creative, stand-alone music star. This CD is filled with amazing tunes that you either want to:
Rock-out to, slowly lighten up and sing, or just bop your head and listen.

The CD has an edgier side to it, attracting a more rock-based populous of fans. The first single is a bit of a sample of the new direction, "Never Again" has a rock-ish tone to it and brings powerful lyrics and vocals. But, if you really want a taste of Kelly's CD, you have to listen to "Sober", the next single, which does not attempt any rock whatsoever, but instead, has a light beat, POWERFUL vocals and lyrics. It is truly an amazing song, so stay tuned on the radio for it, or request it f you're dying to hear some softer Kelly before you buy the CD. No pop fan can resist it. The next singles are "How I Feel" and "One Minute" (not confirmed but 90%); How I feel is light/fast, so it represents that "bop your head" side of the CD. One Minute is like rockish techno, it's interesting but does not fit well with the CD, representing nothing, it is sort of an interesting way to drag in more fans. I really think the next 2 singles should be either: Judas, Maybe or Haunted; because those 3 songs are clearly the stand-outs among the CD. Judas and Haunted are rock-ish, and Maybe is soft, soulful and beautiful (just like sober). The further the singles, the less we should talk about them, so I would like to tell you ALL, to buy this CD, whether you have illegaly downloaded it, or whether you have been listening to it on a website. JUST BUY IT. If Kelly gets enough sales here, she will make more songs by herself, that means creating amazing music on every CD, wouldn't that be better than another Breakaway? (Also, there are a few hidden tracks in the ACTUAL CD as well)

Best Songs (In order):

1. Maybe

2. Sober

3. Haunted

4. Judas

5. Can I Have Kiss

6. Hole

7. Be Still

8. Irvine

9. How I Feel

10. One Minute

11. Yeah

12. Don't Waste Your Time

13. Never Again

Kelly is finally becoming an amazing songwriter, we all should praise her and hope we don't have to wait too long before the 4th cd....

Big Girls Write Good Music

Fergie-Big Girls Don't Cry

4/5

Well, fergie has hit her fourth single off her debut "The Dutchess" and finally she releases a single that will be good for a long time. I woul have preffered "Here I Come" as a single, but apparently "Clumsy" will be the next single. So never mind my opinion. Big Girls Don't Cry is a very good song. The lyrics are probably top out of Fergie's CD. Meaning, this would be a good single choice. So tops to Fergie, because she actually wrote a meaningful song and didn't spell anything. So yay!

Catchiest Album so Far THIS YEAR!

Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad

4.5/5

Ever since that first time I saw Rihanna perform live, I did not have her respect. With this release, she just redemed it. Rihanna's newest CD is one of the best CD's of 2007. Too bad it has to go face-to-face with Kelly Clarkson. Although the lyrics may not match up to where they shoudl be with Rihanna's voice, the catchy beats really make this CD one to remember. Whether its the climatic catchiness of "Breakin' Dishes" or the new tone in "Shut Up and Drive" this CD is packing heat for June releases. June may just have to have 2 Best CDs of June. As for "Good Girl Gone Bad" as the title, I have to agree. She has decided to not listen to her label all the time and has become a different artist with more mature songs. The next step is writing her own musi. The cd is extremely catchy and is more high active then low and mellow. The whole CD is "Radio-friendly" which will make Rihanna's next singles extremely popular. With another CD coming out inb 2008, i have to say...she is a hard worker, and may rush, but rushing isnt always bad. The only bad thing is that the beggining of the CD is very good, the last few songs are a little light...

Rihanna suprised me with this CD and will have a more brighter future to come.

Best Songs: Breakin Dishes, Don't Stop the Music, Shut Up and Drive, Push Up On Me, Rehab

Combat Ring: Round 2

Round 2

Kelly Clarkson-Never Again (Champion)

VS.

Gwen Stefani-4 In the Morning

Round 2-A

Lyrics:

Kelly's lyrics are about revenge after break-up.

Fave Lyric: "I hope the ring you gave to her turns her finger green"

Gwen's Lyrics are about trying your hardest to make a relationship work.

Fave Lyric: "Remember when you said you would change, don't let me down"

Gwen has great lyrics, but listening to Kelly's makes you think more, because she delivers it clearer.

KELLY WINS ROUND 2-A

Round 2-B

Vocals:

Kelly has AMAZING VOCAL TALENT, but this song isn't a complete showcase of it.

Gwen has a pretty good voice, but her rapping skills and quick singing makes her vocals indefinetely unique.

GWEN WINS ROUND 2-B

Round 2-C

Beat:

Never Again has an awesome beat, it may not be able to withstand Umbrella, but it truly has a crazy and cool rock beat.

4 In the Morning is a ballad, the beat is very techno, something that serves the SKIP button on the radio.

KELLY WINS ROUND 2-C

KELLY WINS!!!

In the end, Clarkson takes her second win to the bank! It was not as close of a call, but what will happen next week when Kelly goes fist-to-fist with MCR!

Combat Ring: Round 1

Here's a new concept I've decided to come up with, I put 2 singles from artists or bands and judge them based on lyrics, vocals, and all that other mumbo jumbo. If i get enough responses on you guys' input, then I will make the winners be chosen by YOU! But I need a lot of responses on this post to make that happen.

ROUND 1

Never Again-Kelly Clarkson

VS

Umbrella-Rihanna

Round 1-A

Vocals:

Who has a better voice? You would most likely say Kelly. Rihanna does have a very good voice too, though. But, when I saw Rihanna open for the Black Eyed Peas I was really dissapointed with the vocal aspect of her music and didn't proove to me that she could sing. Kelly, on the other hand, has won American Idol, meaning we know she can sing.

Kelly wins Round 1-A!

Round 1-B

Lyrics:

On these particular songs you have to look at the lyrics ina little way. most people today are not affected by lyrics of a song, because they don't listen to them.

"Does it hurt to know i'll never be there, bet it sucks to see my face everywhere, it was you who chose to end it like you did, i was the last to know, YOU KNEW, exactly what you would do and don't say you simply lost your way. She may believe you but i never will...never again"

"When the sun shine we shine together, told you i'll be here forever, Now that its rainin' more than ever, know that we still have each other. You can stand under my umbrella"

Rihanna is a little on the light side of an analogy so...

Kelly wins Round 1-B

Round 1-C

Beat:

Yes, beat. One of the most important aspects of a song. Well, Never Again has a cool beat and Umbrella has a very catchy tone to it. Only a couple listens and you're hooked!

Rihanna wins Round 1-C

Tally Up:

Kelly-2

Rihanna-1

Sorry, Rihanna, but Never Again is better than what you have prooven so far. We'll see in the near future!

WINNER:

KELLY CLARKSON-NEVER AGAIN

Stay tuned next time for Kelly against Gwen Stefani!

From the Beggining to now the F4 have risen

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

4.5/5

WOW! Another great movie in June that is really worth watching. The complete and utter idea of this movie is MUCH better than that of the first one and has emmensly grown in maturity and action. The silver surfer is one of the best villians ever, making this one of the best superhero movies EVER. Yes, regardless of Jessica Alba's cheesy acting, this movie is one that prooves it deserves a third. Everything is completely different from the first. The storyline, the graphics, and the worthless problems are a lot better than broken puzzle pieces (the first movie had tons of 'em). Anyways...here's the throwdown:

HIGHLIGHTS

There was a lot more action than there was in the first movie and the graphics made the battle scenes more believable. The return of Dr.Doom actually made sense when you learned what the surfer could do. The storyline was more adventorous than "I'm mad because you all forgot about me..." It was more or less intergalactic space aliens from a society unlike our own being controllled by a dominant force Galactus, similar to a God, controlling the surfer. Makes more sense and is more educational.

LOWLIGHTS

Galactus was portrayed wrong; why was he a huge cloud? Jessica Alba's acting was pretty bad, but it wasn't too noticable.

In the end, F4 2 is the best superhero movie of the year and one of the bestof all time.

An Intense, Wild RIDE!

Surf's Up

4.5/5

Who would have thought that another animated penguin movie would come out. Well, penguins have become the latest thing with kids these days and are really making a lot of money for those who animate 'em. So when I heard of Surf's Up, I figured it would be a crappy copy of Happy Feet.

Boy, Oh Boy, was i wrong! Surf's Up is one of my favourite animated movies ever. It is funny and is basically a spiced up Happy feet with less morals. It's out there for fun. Happy Feet can't hold a candle to this one. The movie is done in a unique documentary form which was really cool watching. It was like an animated reality show.

HIGHLIGHTS

This movie prooves that animated movies don't have to appeal to kids only. This movie was fun to watch and really had a sense of style in many areas. Kids will laugh at the things that are more humorous to them like bathing in glow-worm poo. But if you ask me, this movie would be a lot more fun to see with your friends than to bring your kids.

LOWLIGHTS

It was short. The funnier characters didn't get a lot of screen time either, but that's about it.

In conclusion, Surf's Up is the best animated movie of 2007. Can't wait to see F4-ROTSS, Evan Almighty and Live Free or Die Hard to see which will be the Best Movie of June!

KELLY CLARKSON SUMMER TOUR CANCELLED!

Damn! Bought tickets 2 weeks ago and now this, well just putting it up here so that u guys know that u have to call whoever and get refunds. This sorta sucks, but she fired her manager postponing this till the Winter, most likely. Hopefully the ticket sales will be higher once people hear the CD.

Getting Knocked Up has its highs and lows...

WARNING! MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Knocked Up

3.5/5

Well, after getting AMAZING reviews i just had to watch this movie. The problem is, the critics are different from normal people out in the world like me. They look at MEANING, and PLOT. Normal people look at LOTS OF LAUGHS and that's about it. Especially in a movie like this. Well, there are lots of laughs, but there is a problem with them. Me, being a teen would never laugh at these things in front of a certain group of people. If i was watching this with my parents, it wouldn't be as enjoyable because of the raunchy humor that they would look down on me by. You get my point. There are certain movies you can see with your parents...this ain't one of em.

HIGHLIGHTS

This movie is quite funny. It makes you laugh at every turn, whether it's Kristen Wiig (SNL) doing her "penelope" voice that she once used on SNL to show her jealousy. Or the menopas(how do u spell that) that Heigel goes through during many times. I have to say, the best characters are Pete and Debbie- Heigel's sister and brother-in-law. Debbie is funny to watch as she continuously calls Pete a F***ing dipshit (excuse my french) because he doesn't want to protect his kids from Mercury or child malesters (you have to watch it to get it).

LOWLIGHTS

It's long. 2 hours long. That may not seem like the 3 hrs of Pirates 3, but it's bad to stretch a comedy like that. There is lots of swearing and two scenes where sex takes place, although you don't see and organs, you hear a lot of moaning. For some viewers, that is a little disturbing. The content is vulgar, meaning you can only watch it with people like 13 and up. And since you can't watch it with your parents, your stuck with your friends. Fun times, but odd moments.

In the end, Knocked Up is funny, but the intense content leaves me to wonder how movies like this get 5/5...

The Yellowcard can't slow down this band!

Yellowcard-Light Up The Sky (Single)

4/5

YELLOWCARD! I have always been addicted to their music and really am beggining to think that they are the top contender for next months ARTIST OF THE MONTH, but I'm not jumping to anything JUST yet. Yellowcard's new song is not as addictive as its predecessors, but will be...one of those takes a while songs. This new move is a move from Rock to Pop/rock...NICE MOVE! Unlike Bon Jovi, they made a step up and I'm hoping Paper Walls (July 17th) delivers! This song is quite good, do i hope it becomes a big hit!

Jon Bovi is completely LOST!

Bon Jovi-Lost Highway

2/5

I truly hate it when a band goes from pop/rock to something else; especially in this display where Bon Jovi has gone from Pop/Rock to FREAKIN COUNTRY MUSIC! Look, country ain't exactly awful, but at a viewing point, pop/rock is a much popular and better genre. the name "Lost Highway" simply and exactly states where Bon Jovi is right now; on a lost highway in the middle of nowhere (metaphorically speaking). Usually, it would be interesting to see the development of a band, but this is taking one step in the wrong direction. Bon Jovi will have no success with this CD and i seriously advise them to go back to the drawing board and come up with another better CD for next year; that way they won't lose all their fans. I am truly disappointed at them and cannot explain how weird this CD. With Le Ann Rimes singing in the backround, i fell like I'm in some old Sugar shack in the middle of nowhere. Just like a lost highway in the middle of nowhere. Obviously the title wasn't meant to say that "these songs are way off track"-but thats what happens when they are....

Best Songs: Make a Memory, Everybody's Broken, Summertime, Lost Highway

Kelly's Better When She's Sober

Kelly Clarkson-Sober

5/5

This is the crucial breaking point in a CD. The slow single which follows the catchy single. If you cannot live up, your CD will fail. Luckily for Kelly, Sober is her best single ever. And -in fact- is one of the best on her new CD (review coming soon). It is seriously packing the lyrics, which is something that Kelly has never done- write a full CD. This song prooves that Kelly is both vocally and lyrically talented and can pack the heat when it comes to making a great album. Sober is not exactly single material, but everyone likes it, so request it, talk about it and make it the amazing single it should be. GO KELLY CLARKSON!

When you're Avril; You'll Never be gone...

Avril Lavigne-WhenYou're Gone

4/5

Although Avril was predicted to be a one hit wonder; this song sort of hits that. The reason she didn't become a one hit wonder is beacuse when she's gone, you desperately miss avril. With that being said, Avril may not have chosen the best single here- but as a successful artist, you should be able to choose your singles without the record label telling you to pick something else. Since Avril has always been like this, I don't think we'll ever get tired of her music and i litterally think that she will be around for many years to come. Avril stays because of her choices. This song is her choice. Get it?

Gun Violence FINALLY Sung About!

My Chemical Romance-Teenagers

4.5/5

After a long-awaited release, the best song off "The Black Parade" is a single. Teenagers is about being rejected and using violence as a term to proove what you're made of. This song is not only catchy but it deals with such gun violences like Colombine and Virginia Tech Massacre (The reason this single was delayed). With powerful lyrics and an amazing beat, teenagers is seriously the greatest My Chemical Romance song ever. The video is already all over music stations and the song will hit radios sooner or later. Stay tuned, because a fourth single and tour ending means going back to the drawing board for these hard-ass rockers.
