Hail to the V!

So this is the only commercial that stands out to me. One I find it somewhat disturbing that a product is called Hail to the V and two I find it even more disturbing that I have no idea what it's for. So I did some research to find that it's a women's huge in soap. It is targeted toward adolescent girls and young woman who are sexually active said one article. 

It stood out to me because a man was using it when his girlfriend pointed out that it was a women's hygiene producy. Alarmed he rushes into doing extremely manly things and at the end the got says something like "you good?" So the commercial doesn't have anything to do with what the product is but I still find it funny for some odd reason. So in the end I still have no idea what this product is.

Final project: in the eyes of an 8 year old

For my final project I would like to do a documentary on my little sister Abari. She is a sassy now 8 year old busy body. The goal of my documentary is to discover what it's like to live in the life of an 8 year old, what do they go through, how do they handle their issues and what excites them. I feel like my sister is a perfect candidate seeing as her birthday party is this Friday. Also because she is extremely accessible. I will film for 4-5 days then I'll take a day to edit. I plan to be done by tuseday and am excited to see how it turns out.

Snow on tha Bluff

Snow on tha Bluff was a documentary that went deep into the reality of running a drug cartel. It focused I'm Curtis Snow, a young father who runs a crack dealing empire. You venture into his business and how he runs everything while also getting a sense of how important family really is to him. The movie not only gives another perspective on the drug industry but it give what we call "the hood" a new identity and meaning. This movie not only acts as a cultural statement but it speaks to you in ways that you could never imagine. Who knew that the life of a crack addict from the hood could reach out to so many hearts and express a message deeper than I feel my generation can realize right now.

LOL

LOL is what I would like to call a ninja movie. Coming upon this film I didn't know what to expect, certainly not the work of art pictured before me. LOL staring ,Miley Cyrus , depicts the life of a teenage girl and her family. It shows the realistic struggles a teen and mother go through while excepting the fact that they both have some growing to do. The film did a great job in showing what actually goes on in the mind of a teenage girl, why we keep secrets, and exposes put fears. For me the movie was like watching a mirror of my own life. I truly enjoyed this and I think it's the perfect mother daughter film for anytime.

Documentary treatment

My documentary assess the trials and and journey of this years juniors as they work towards showcase. it analyzes and exposes the real emotions we go through while preparing for probably the most important shows of our lives. It will feature 2 to 4 students from each cluster at btwhspva. I will most likely key in on one person from each cluster. It will explain what showcase is and means in each cluster. It will also go deeper into how much it means for each individual. I plan on there being at least one person drop out seeing that there are different situations with everyone. I hope to finish sometimes around this year and hold a watch party for everyone to see.

X Men First class

Again another movie you can only watch once. I tend to love all x men movies but this one was sub par. I wouldn't watch it again. The story dragged on somewhat and was a bit anticlimactic. I expected to much more. But the costumes and make up in this movie couldn't have been better. They fit each character perfecting. Casting was also good although I think we all could agree we would have liked to see more of fan favorites wolverine, storm, and the original gang but I guess you can't have everything you want.

Wreck it Ralph Movie Review

Wreck it Ralph

I did not want to see this movie at first but I'm glad I did. Wreck It Ralph , a Disney cartoon about a Villain in a video game who wants to be a hero, is what I would call one of disney's better movies. The characters were all dynamic and the storyline really grabbed the attention of the viewers. Yes it is technically a 'kiddy' movie but I wails call this a movie for all ages.

Dark Knight Rises Movie Review

Dark Knight Rises 

At firs glance this movie is one of excellence but watch it a second time and it's boring. The first time I say this movie I truly enjoyed it. Especially the graphics and stunts. But the second time and I found myself dosing off and my mind drifting. This is the type of movie you only watch once. 

The Butler Movie review

The butler 

This historical memoir is what I would consider a work of art. It told a story of an African American butler who made his way from the plantation to the White House. This movie posed not only as entertainment but as a statement of how far the African American race has come in such a short amount of time. Not only that, the screenplay was excellent. A movie such as this will live in through generations.

Real steel movie review

Real Steel 

Most would think any movie with high Hackman has to be a hit right? Well this was proven false with real steel. Personally I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought i would have. I expected more from the movie and all I got was a mediocre film. The plot seemed a bit flat and the characters were extreme predictable. The one compliment u can give is on location and cinematography. Most of the shits had great balance and contrast. Good job Cinematography!

Movie Review pride and prejudice

Pride and Prejudice 2005

The world renown love affair between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr.Darcie has brought tears to the eyes of women across the globe for years. This is one of my personal favorites and I feel that's mostly because of the amazing script . Writer Deborah Meggach truly did justice to this Jane Austin Classic. So the costumes were fantastic thanks to designer Jacqueline Durran. As I said the movie is one of my favorites and I'd advise everyone to see it.

Les Misérables

This week I watches the famous musical Les Mis (2012). The newer version compared to the 1998 version brings a fresher musical style to this historic tale. Personally I prefer the 1998 version. The absence of the singing allows you to concentrate more so on the amazing storyline rather than Anna Hathaway's mystical voice. The singing and acting were great in the 2012 though. I just feel like the musical element took away from the natural beauty of the story.

Movie Review: Life of Pi

So I finally saw this amazing work of art two days ago and I LOVED IT. Life if Pi was one of the best movies I've ever seen. The way story was laid out was very creative and innovative. It kept me interested, the movie pulls you in and doesn't spit you out until it's over. I especially loved the use of color in the graphics. I really lived this movie certainly in my top 10.

Post 12: Life

Post 11: Crazy Silence

Pacing back and forth in the night like a crazy person
No one knows what's wrong not even you
No idea what woke you all you remember is not being able to breath like someone was closing in on your throat. Silence
You try to go back to sleep but can't so you clean and watch tv and do your hair. They tell you your not good enough that nothing you do will ever be good enough and you consider giving up yet something stops you from doing what you will most regret. You flip out for a second then quietly climb into bed and turn off the tv. Silence.

Post10: My fluffy white Cloud


You can feel it in your bones and the only thing you can do is smile.
Sometimes it makes you act crazy and do un-expecting things but at the end of the day you still have that stupid smile on your face . It's like your floating and nothing can bring you down. I miss this feeling. I miss me. It feels like yesterday when I was floating. But in reality it's been at least 3 years. I miss living care free . It seems like the more I try to get back there to that place to me the farther out of my reach it gets. I feel like all of my efforts are sabotaged by a rope pulling me back in the opposite direction. All I want is to float again, preferably on a fluffy white cloud where I can never fall again.

Post 9: The ticking time bomb i call Myself

Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock. I here in the distance but theres nothing in sight. Its dark as night and i can't seem to find my way back home. Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock. what is that noise? i don't own a clock.Tick.Tock. STOP this is driving me nuts! I just want to go back. Go back to when everything was easy, when all of my problems and fears could just vanish in a quick second. when no one tried to change who I was. I want to go back to before, when life was a train and i was the conductor, when i was afraid of nothing and felt invincible! I want to go back to me, to when i was happy and didn't care what people thought. I just want to go back in time to when everything was only a simple fix .Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.

Post 8: The Calling

Sorry I haven't posted in a while I've been very ill but this is something I wrote while I was sick. I like it and I hope you enjoy too!:

I crave it. I need it. I feel I should go back . But they won't let me. "it's bad for you " they tell me " in the future you'll thank us for this" they say . What do they know. It's been almost a year and still no thanks. I've made up my mind. Besides that's when I was happiest. I enjoyed life took risks and was an over all happier person . It was perfect . I crave my dirty little secret , my mistress of drakness, my addiction ,my drug . I miss it . I crave it. I need it. It calls my name in the night . Forget them and what they say. I'm answering this call and never hanging up again...

Post 7: What do you do?

What do you do when the one you love is drifting farther and farther away and you can't do a single thing about it?
What do you do when all hope is gone and your on your knees at rock bottom?
What do you do when you've lost your inspiration to live ?
Well see, here's the thing you have two choices . You can have hope and pray to god that everything turns out ok or if you don't believe in that , you can go back to the beginning and start over ,making different choices this time. You where given life so you could live! So don't waste it dwelling on the bad when there's so much greatness surrounding you.

Post 6: Those hazel brown eyes

You know that feeling you get when your about to fall ? Not the emotion but that funny feeling in your stomach . Or maybe a better example would be when your on a huge roller coaster for the first time . 4-7g's of energy rushing through your body all at once it feel ... Amazing! That's how I feel when I see your hazel brown eyes. I look at them and I feel like 6g's of energy is rushing through my body like a roaring rapid , I feel like no matter what's happening everything will be ok, I feel happy , exhilarated, warm , and safe! But I also feel scared because I'm scared to love again , sad because I know our love is forbidden, worried that you will never know how I truly feel and even worst when I began to consider you don't feel the same way. But then you hold me tight in your arms and I look at those hazel brown eyes , and I know it will be ok.
