Best Albums & EPs of 2011

Some really great albums and EPs have come out this year, so I decided to pick my top five and share them with you, and tell you why you should go buy them RIGHT NOW.

5. Blink 182- Neighborhoods: I was very excited for this album. After being broken up for years, Blink 182 finally got back together and made an album! With tracks like Up All Night and Heart’s All Gone, it is definitely an album to check out. It has a new sound compared to Blink’s previous albums, which I think has something to do with Tom Delonge’s work in Angels and Airwaves, and Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker’s work in +44. Definitely a great album, especially if you are a longtime Blink 182 fan, or just a fan of good music.

4. Prince Caspian- Late Night Calls (EP): Prince Caspian frontman David Charles Fischer is a good friend of mine and a very talented musician from Elora/ Toronto. He has a wonderful voice and is able to write great songs. He gives any venue a good vibe when he steps onto the stage to perform, and always gives a fantastic set, whether it be alone or with full band. The EP only has 4 songs on it, but all 4 are great. It’s hard to pick a favourite, because they all are well written and sound fantastic. Over the summer, a music video was filmed for the first track titled Christian Girls (which I am proud to say I am in!) and it’s awesome. You should check the video out, and you should check out Prince Caspian. Great lyrics, great sound, great vibes…. and I’m not just saying that because he’s my friend. I give credit where credit is due, and this guy deserves a HELL OF A LOT OF CREDIT. 🙂

3. The Little Black Dress- The Little Black Dress (EP): The Little Black Dress is a Toronto based band made up of 5 talented guys; Dan- frontman/ songwriter/ guitar player/ friend, Brian- guitar player, Damian- bassist, Kyle- keys/ bassist/ back vocals/ friend, and Lewis- drummer/ back vocals. Everytime they get up on stage they have a crazy energy and the crowd is super excited. The songs are well written, sound great, and make you want to dance. This EP is no exception. The 5 songs on the EP are each fantastic in a different way, my favourite being I Won’t Hide. They also have another EP, titled Strut, which is great too! Every song these guys put out makes me wonder why they aren’t huge already, because they should be. Every show they do ends up being crazy packed with friends, family and very loyal fans that they definitely deserve to have more of. Please check them out, because this band is amazing. And again, I’m not saying this because I have friends in this band. They are VERY TALENTED!  

2. Marianas Trench- Ever After: Being a fan of Marianas Trench for a few years now, I was excited for the new album to come out. These 4 guys (Josh Ramsay, Matt Webb, Mike Ayley & Ian Casselman) are an incredibly talented band who love their fans. This new album has such an amazing sound and every song makes me want to sing and dance, and let’s face it, I can’t sing or dance but I want to when I listen to this album. My favourite songs on the album are Desperate Measures, Toy Soldiers and Haven’t Had Enough, and even though I picked three, those were difficult to pick because this album is just fantastic. The album is made as a story, and each song is meant to be listened to in order. Their concerts are amazing, and it’s no surprise that they have tons and tons of fans everywhere. If you haven’t checked out this album yet, CHECK IT OUT!

1. Simple Plan- Get Your Heart On: Simple Plan is my most favourite band in the entire world, and as far as I’m concerned they can do no wrong, but they have outdone themselves this time. Pierre Bouvier, Chuck Comeau, David Desrosiers, Seb Lefebvre and Jeff Stinco are so unbelievably talented. They write amazing songs and are amazing live! They are also incredibly nice guys (I met them in June) and are very dedicated to their fans. The album is so great, I honestly can’t pick one favourite song because I truly love them all. Every song tells a different story that fans can relate to. The album is amazing, so check it out, right now.

Also, Simple Plan is touring Canada in February, and Marianas Trench is opening with them. FANTASTIC!! I am super excited. You should be too. Check them out and get tickets! Maybe I’ll see you there.

Zoo Diaries

For those of you who have never heard of or watched the show Zoo Diaries, it’s a show made at the Toronto Zoo. It’s all about the different animals that they work with and the projects that they do. I usually see it on Animal Planet, and they also play it on the Pet Network.

I am an animal lover, and I always have been. I also have been a volunteer for two summers at the Toronto Zoo, so I know more than the general public would on certain things that the zoo does, as well as being able to go into parts of the zoo that the public can’t go into! It was pretty cool to find out that the zoo has their own show, especially since I have volunteered there.

On the show they show us some day to day work that they do with the animals, and what they have to do in special cases. In the most recent episode that I watched, which by the way was a repeat, they had to give Monty (a crocodile) a feeding tube because he hadn’t been eating. I had not seen this being done whenever I would volunteer, so it was interesting to watch. I think the show is a good way to educate the public on what the staff does behind the scenes, since the general public will never see a lot of it. The zoo does do public feedings and talks at certain times each day for particular animals that the general public can watch which I think is great. I watched the feeding for the cheetahs once and that was a cool experience.

As a volunteer, I have been able to do many things that the public can’t do, but they could possibly see on the show. I was able to get up close and personal with some camels and pat them as I learned about the camel’s feeding schedule. What was even better was when I was able to go behind the scenes with the male indian rhino, and pat him and feed him! He was just like a big huge dog, it was really funny, and it was one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had.

So I’ve gotten a little off topic from the show, but to finish off, if you’ve never watched the show and you’re interested in zoos and/ or animals, I would check it out. It’s good to learn what they actually do in zoos so that we can all understand what they do and better support them. Also, if you live in Toronto or the GTA and want to volunteer, go to http://torontozoo.com/SupportTheZoo/BecomeAVolunteer.asp and see if there’s a volunteer position available that you would like to do!

Top Ten Adam Sandler Movies

Adam Sandler is my favourite comedic actor. He has done so many great movies that I thought I should write up a simple top ten list of my favourite Adam Sandler movies, based on nothing but how funny they are.

Here’s my top ten:

10. The Wedding Singer (1998)

9. Grown Ups (2010)

8. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007)

7. Big Daddy (1999)

6. Mr Deeds (2002)

5. Jack and Jill (2011)

4. 50 First Dates (2004)

3. Little Nicky (2000)

2. Happy Gilmore (1996)

1. Billy Madison (1995)- My all time favourite Adam Sandler movie. Watch it now!

He’s done other great movies as well such as Anger Management, Waterboy, and The Longest Yard, but the above would be my top ten. It was difficult to put them in order because each movie is very funny. Look them up if you are interested in watching some hilarious movies.

If anyone is also an Adam Sandler fan, which movies would you pick as your top ten?

The Blind Side

It’s no wonder that Sandra Bullock won an oscar for this movie. I love her movies, but this one is truly amazing. It came out in 2009 and is based on a true story about a boy named Michael Oher. He was a homeless and traumatized boy who became an All American football player and first round NFL draft pick with the help of a caring woman and her family. Sandra Bullock plays Leigh Anne, the caring woman/ mother who takes Michael into her home when she sees that he has nowhere else to go. He had lived a horrible life in a bad neighbourhood with a drug addict mother. All of his teachers thought he couldn’t learn anything and wouldn’t amount to anything. They were wrong.

Michael is a very sweet guy who is extremely loyal and protective of the ones he cares about. The things he says and the pains he had to live through make you want to cry at certain points in the movie. Even though he has been through so much, he is still so strong. This should make the audience realize that even though we all have horrible things happen in our lives, we should be grateful of what we have.

The movie also stars Tim McGraw as Leigh Anne’s husband Sean and introduces Quinton Aaron as Michael. It’s a little over two hours long, but definitely worth taking that two hours to watch. The movie has it’s funny moments, as well as sad moments and those moments that make you have to smile.

I’m not even sure what else to say about this movie to make you want to watch it, but it’s really amazing. If you like any of these things/ people, watch this movie:

1. Sandra Bullock movies

2. You want to watch a movie with Tim McGraw (I’m not a country fan and didn’t even realize he was in this for the longest time, but he is pretty good in this movie)

3. Movies based off of true events/ stories

4. Movies that are heartwarming

5. Movies that make you believe in people

6. Movies with a nice ending

7. Movies with football

OR, if you just want to watch a new movie that is really good. Some of those movies that win oscars are not very good, but this one really is. Please go and watch it, and let me know what you think of it.

When In Rome :)

When in Rome is a comedy about a unlucky-in-love NY curator named Beth, who takes a trip to Rome for her sister’s wedding. An unexpected crush takes her by surprise at the wedding, but she quickly feels let down. She then decides to take coins out of the Fontana de Amore, which ignites the passions of several suitors, who then seem to appear everywhere she goes once she is back home.

The movie stars Kristen Bell (Pulse), Josh Duhamel (Transformers, as well as being Fergie’s husband), Will Arnett (Blades of Glory), Jon Heder (also Blades of Glory, but more importantly, Napoleon Dynamite) and Dax Shepard (Without A Paddle). Danny Devito and Anjelica Huston are also in the movie, along with a few other possibly familiar faces. It came out in 2010, is about an hour and a half long and is rated PG 13 for suggestive content.

This movie is a romantic comedy, so those of you who enjoy these types of movies, make sure to watch it. It is very funny, especially with the guys following her around, but it also has it’s heartwarming moments. But, before I go any further, it’s not a sappy movie the whole time so those people (ahem, men especially) don’t go and say you’ll never watch it because it will be too girly. Not true. It is an incredibly funny movie. To give you a little more information to get you to watch it, here you go: One guy is an artist who at first is trying to get a look at her feet to paint them and ends up chasing her all around, One guy is a crazy magician who enjoys stealing people’s watches, One guy is an overly cocky model who can’t get enough of himself, and the other guy, well he’s weird and tries to give her sausages.

If you want to sit down and have a laugh, watch this movie. It doesn’t have Adam Sandler or Jim Carrey or any of those incredibly popular funny guys in it but it will still make you laugh. I’d give it about a 9.5 out of 10. (It could have gotten that extra 0.5 if it had a incredibly popular funny guy)

The Final Destination

First off, Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays to everybody!

So yesterday I watched The Final Destination, which is the fourth movie of the Final Destination franchise/ series (or whatever you choose to call it). I own this movie, and I own the first three as well. I find the overall story of the movies to be rather intriguing.

For those who may not have watched any of the movies before, they center around someone having a premonition where an accident is about to happen. In the first movie it is a plane crash, the second is a big highway pileup, the third is a rollercoaster accident, and in the fourth is a crash at a racetrack. There is also a fifth movie which I have yet to see. After the premonition, the person usually freaks out and refuses to be involved in the premonition, therefore saving their life along with friends and others lives. After this, the survivors start to die in the order that they died in the premonition. The survivors then have to figure out what the order is in order to save their lives.

The fourth movie starts off at a racetrack where this guy sees that everyone is going to die in a firey crash. He ends up causing a fight and leaving the stadium, along with his friends and some others, who all end up surviving the horrific crash. Afterwards, he starts seeing how the survivors will die and must figure out who is next and how he can prevent each of them from dying. Compared to the first movie, I don’t think it is as good. It does keep to the basic plot though, which is nice to see, so that if you have seen the previous movies you can try to figure out what may happen next. I would probably rate the movie about a seven out of ten I think.

The movie came out in 2009, and is filled with actors who I did not know, except for Shantel VanSanten who plays Lori, who is in One Tree Hill and plays Haley’s sister Quinn. Since all of the other actors are unknown to me, I did not have anything to compare them to, which in a way can be good because it gives them a fresh start where I am not comparing them to how they were in other movies or tv shows.

Overall, I believe it is a good movie. There is a lot of suspense, which keeps you guessing as to who is going to be next. There is also a lot of gore, so those who do not appreciate gory movies may not like this. Gore does not faze me in any way, so I didn’t have any problem with it.

If you are interested in seeing this movie, but you have not seen any of the first three movies, I would suggest to go watch those first. You don’t necessarily need to watch them, but there are some things that come up in this movie that may make more sense if you have watched the first three.

Clearly now I suppose I should go and watch the fifth movie. When I do, I’ll let you know how it is.

Holiday Season

So this is a very busy time of year. I am at my mom’s for the week for Christmas, and many other people I know are with their parents or other family for the holidays. My family celebrates Christmas, not for any religious reasons though. Many of my other friends celebrate Christmas as well, and some celebrate Hannukah.

It sure doesn’t feel like Christmastime though, although I don’t mind that we don’t have any snow as of right now!

Anyway, I’ll keep from rambling and get to the point. Since this is a busy time of year and I am not at home, I may not write for a few days, but I am sure I’ll have lots to write about once Christmas is done.

To everyone who has read this or have been reading my other posts, thank you very much! This is all new and I have had a great response to my blog which is awesome 🙂 May everyone have a great christmas (or hannukah or whatever you may celebrate!) and a wonderful new years!

Marianas Trench Rocks Much Music

The day was December 5th, 2011, the time- 7pm. I was standing outside of Much Music in the pouring rain, under my giant pink umbrella. There were lots of people inside and outside of the Much Music building, and everyone was excited. The reason for the excitement? MARIANAS TRENCH Live at Much!! One of the greatest bands, pretty much ever. I had seen them perform twice in concert (November of 2010 at the Direct Energy Centre where I waited all day in line, and August 2011 at the CNE where again, I waited all day) and once at the 2010 MMVA’s (where again, I had waited all day long). Each time, they were always amazing and had a great energy about them while they performed infront of lots of very excited people.

When they came out and started to perform, the noise level was ear piercing and if you weren’t already excited, you were very excited now, because the excitement was extremely contagious. They went on to perform Haven’t Had Enough, All To Myself and Stutter, and Josh (Ramsay) would walk and jump into the crowd, making girls scream and cry, and even making a few guys freak out. After these first three songs, they headed over to where they did their interview so I ran over to the window that was behind their seats to watch. If you have watched the show, or if you were there, you most likely saw a blonde girl wearing glasses holding a giant pink umbrella in the window behind them, and yes, that was totally me. A bunch of us were standing there freaking out, trying to get the guys to all turn around.

After the first part of the interview, the guys went on to play Cross My Heart and By Now, before coming back to finish the interview where again, I was standing at that window. When the guys walked over, Ian (Casselman) waved at me! This of course was very exciting (he’s the drummer for those of you who don’t know). So we all stood there and freaked out as Josh, Ian, Mike (Ayley) and Matt (Webb) finished their interview.

Once that was finished, the guys went on to perform their final songs for the night, being Fallout and Celebrity Status. When they started Celebrity Status, Josh was heading outside so I (again) freaked out and ran over to where he was going to be. After they finished for the night, Josh and Ian came out to say hello to everyone and sign autographs, and even though I jumped into the crowd and pushed myself as far in as I could go to get to Josh, I sadly couldn’t get close enough! 😦 I did have an exciting moment though, because Josh almost touched my hand. (I know this is like what a 14 year old girl would do, but you know, sometimes you just have to do these things and enjoy yourself)

Overall, the performance was awesome. Every song sounded great (although I watched it online afterwards and the sound sucked if you weren’t actually down there!) and the energy of the night was amazing. I’m so happy I went down for this.

Their newest album, Ever After, came out November 21st, so if you haven’t checked it out yet, you should!! The whole cd is a story, and is meant to be listened to from the beginning to the end. There is an awesome sound to every track, and it’s different from what a lot of other bands do.

Marianas Trench has so many fans around the world, and do you know why that is? They have amazing music. They are very talented (unlike some OTHER people in the industry who I won’t mention their names. They are big goofballs who just have fun with what they do. And, they love their fans. 🙂

 

If you haven’t checked this guys out, DO IT!!! You will not regret it.

I am so excited to see them again, as they are coming back to Toronto on February 19th, and they are opening for my favourite band in the ENTIRE WORLD….. SIMPLE PLAN!!!!! ❤ So excited. You really have no idea.

Scre4m

Alright, so I’ll just come out and say it. I am a horror movie fanatic. I love them. I’m totally crazy about them. Watching horror movies actually helps me relieve stress. Don’t ask me how, but it does. I love the suspense and the stories and a great killer who is crazy and can never seem to be killed. Now that you know this, maybe you think I’m a lunatic and you might feel uneasy if you are alone with me in a dark alley, but it’s okay. You don’t need to be scared. It’s not like I’m an escaped serial killer or anything. I just love and appreciate the horror genre.

Now I have seen the first three Scream movies, and I have them all on dvd. Scream is one of my most favourite horror movies. This is why I was excited to hear that they were making a fourth movie. I thought that they would not be able to out do the first movie, but I was definitely interested to see how the movie would turn out.

For those who have never seen any of the movies (although I really hope you have seen at least the original…) they are about a killer known as “ghost face” starts killing teenagers in a town called Woodsboro, and as more and more people are killed, a girl and her friends have to figure out the “rules” as they find themselves living in a horror movie. Each movie is obviously different, but they keep the basic theme. All four star Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette. They are a great example of the horror genre because they include a hell of a lot of suspense, as well as pretty much the basics of horror which are gore, alcohol, drugs and sex. I just personally need the suspense and gore in a horror movie, but the others usually are a packaged deal.

So I went out and saw it in the theatre back in April, and it was pretty good. It is about how Sidney Prescott (played by Neve Campbell) has put her life back together and returned to Woodsboro ten years after the she was last visited by the ghost face killer. The movie also stars Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere. The movie keeps up the level of suspense that the first three had, as well as the gore. There are some moments which are a little corny, so it isn’t as good as the original, but they didn’t mess the movie up as they have with others.

My best friend bought the movie for me so I watched it again last night, and my opinion hasn’t changed since watching it the first time in the theatre. It isn’t a bad movie by any means, but compared to the first, it isn’t as good. So if you are a fan of horror, you should watch this movie, it’s good. But first, if you have yet to see the first three, see those first!

^^My best friend gave me a Scre4m shirt 🙂

Not so funny people

So the movie Funny People is on tv today, and was on a few days ago, so I decided to watch it because I had never seen it before. It stars Adam Sandler, Seth Rogan and Leslie Mann, and is about a comedian (played by Sandler) who learns he has a terminal illness and decides to form a friendship with another performer and take him under his wing as his opening act.

If you have read my post from a few days ago about the movie Jack and Jill, you know that Adam Sandler is one of my favourite actors. Sadly, I did not enjoy Funny People at all. I had thought it would be at least a bit funny, but have a nice story because of the character’s illness. I actually turned it off about half way through the movie because I found it boring and depressing. Obviously I don’t know what happened after I turned it off, so the movie could have become more interesting, but I was not very interested in finding out.

I don’t think I’ll be watching this movie again.

😦

Adam Lambert does it again :)

Adam Lambert is one of my favourite artists. He has an amazing voice, and has dealt with many obstacles to be where he is now. He is part of the NOH8 Campaign and speaks out for LGBT rights, which I think is awesome. He has millions of loyal fans all over the world, and that number continues to grow.

I saw him perform twice in June of 2010, and he was simply amazing. I still don’t understand why he didn’t win American Idol, but there is definitely a reason why he made it so far on the show. He sounds the same when he performs live as he does on his cd, FYE.

He is working on his 2nd album, called Trespassing, which is set to be out March 20th, 2012. I am super excited! His first single off of the album is called Better Than I Know Myself. It was posted on his official site yesterday- www.adamofficial.com and is up on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9ZVIAbDr_w&feature=g-all-u&context=G221cc1aFAAAAAAAABAA

It will be up on itunes to purchase on Tuesday, December 20th. It is an amazing song. Adam’s voice sounds incredible and it is very catchy. I believe I spent about an hour last night listening to it on repeat and I have listened to it about a dozen times today so far. It’s really incredible.

Go listen to it now!!!! ❤

Journey To The Center Of The Earth

I see this movie on tv from time to time, and usually when I go to watch it, they are playing some other movie instead. I have only watched the movie the entire way through once or twice, so when I saw it on tv again today, I decided I’ll watch it.

I have been a huge Brendan Fraser fan ever since The Mummy came out back in 1999. I was nine years old and I thought he was very dreamy and an awesome actor. When I heard about this movie coming out in 2008, I thought I would check it out since I have been a fan of Brendan Fraser for so long. I don’t think he’s so dreamy anymore, but I still think he’s a great actor.

The movie is about an hour and a half long and is about a scientist/ professor goes looking for his missing brother. His nephew travels with him and a mountain guide to discover a lost and dangerous world in the center of the earth. It is definitely a fantasy/ adventure kind of movie, seeing as some of the things in the movie are too odd to possibly be real.

In theory, the movie sounds kind of odd, but interesting. After seeing the movie, it is alright, but not great. There are good parts, and I still stand behind Brendan Fraser’s work, but the movie is really weird. It’s okay to watch once in a while if you’re really bored.

If I had to rate it out of ten, I’d probably give it a five, maybe.

Great Vegetarian Dishes @ Bloor & Ossington

So I have been a vegetarian for over 6 years now, and I love going around finding new awesome places to eat. There is this one place called the Hogtown Vegan, and it’s awesome. It’s on Bloor, right near Ossington station. They have several different types of dishes to choose from, as well as freshly squeezed lemonade and iced tea. The prices aren’t bad, especially when you realize you are getting great food that is actually vegan! This is the sister restaurant of Hot Beans Vegan, in Kensington market (which btw is delicious!! They have the most amazing nachos ever).

I have been there two times now, and both times I ordered the entree caesar salad. Now this may seem silly to those of you who are not vegan or vegetarian, but those who are understand. Caesar salad is made with bacon bits and in the dressing there is typically anchovy paste (yuck!), so needless to say, I have not eaten caesar salad in a very long time and I was very excited to order a vegan caesar salad. It was delicious, and you get a huge amount for like $9. I also had the lemonade (both visits I believe) and it is quite good.

The service both times has been good. They don’t leave you sitting around forever wondering what’s happening (as some places do), but they don’t bug you every two seconds. The food did not take long to come out (my friend’s food took longer to prepare than mine did) and it all came out at the same time (again, unlike other places that bring out everyone’s food but one person who ends up waiting forever).

So, if you are vegan or vegetarian, or are open to trying a new place to eat, come out and try this place. It is excellent. I posted pictures that I took of the menu below.

Just writing about this place makes me want to go back very soon…..

A great comedy from 2009

I’ve been awake since 6am this morning, and since I couldn’t sleep, I decided to put on a movie and have some laughs. I put on All About Steve, starring Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper. I have seen it many times before, and it always makes me laugh a lot.

For those who have never seen it, it is a movie where cruciverbalist (a crossword puzzle constructor, played by Sandra Bullock) becomes obsessed with a cameraman (played by Bradley Cooper) when she thinks that he is her true love. She follows him across the country, trying to convince him that they are meant to be together. He constantly tries to get rid of her, which creates a lot of laughs.

For some reason, this movie didn’t become very popular and wasn’t given the greatest ratings by critics, but I find it hilarious. If you enjoy Sandra Bullock movies, have an odd sense of humour, or just like movies with Bradley Cooper, try watching this one. It has a great ending and will put a smile on your face.

After Runnymede

Last Friday night, I went with a friend to see this guy Christien play, who is a one man band called After Runnymede. He was playing at Smiling Buddha Bar downtown Toronto in a competition like battle of the bands. I had seen him play before at a benefit concert for Kids Help Phone this past October. I was impressed by his voice and interesting lyrics and decided to check out his website and go to his next show.

There were about 2o bands or so playing, all competing for a spot in the finals at the Sound Academy. This could lead to being signed and a record deal, so there was a high energy during each performance on stage. I am very interested in different types of music, such as pop, rock, alternative, indie, hip hop, etc, but some of the bands of the night were (in my opinion) too inexperienced and not very good. I believe I can say that because I have many friends who are musicians and I have been to many, many shows/ concerts, especially in the last two years.

We hung out with Christien for the night, and it is great to see a hard working musician who is very dedicated to his music, yet very kind and humble. When he hit the stage, we stood at the front of the crowd for the best view of the show. He had a great energy, even joking when his ukelele stopped working and when his guitar was out of tune. He performed songs off of his album (called Standing Still), including Minou, which has an awesome sound, and Do You, as well as a new song called Just For You, which is a personal favourite. The performance was great, and shows how he is meant to be a performer.

I found out later that people were to vote online to choose the winner who would go to the Sound Academy. I voted everyday, until I received a message from Christien saying that he hadn’t won, but he was being booked for the Sound Academy anyway! The date of the show is January 20th, where he will be battling other bands in the finals to get a record deal. Tickets are being sold now, and I am proud to say that I was the first to buy one. The more tickets he sells, the better his chances are of winning. http://afterrunnymede.com/news/after-runnymede-makes-it-to-the-city-finals/

So if you are looking to find new music to listen to, a show to go out to, or you are just willing to support someone who is working so hard in a difficult industry, check out After Runnymede. You won’t be disappointed.

Funniest Movie I’ve Seen In A While…

About two and a half weeks ago I went and saw Jack and Jill. Now, I know what you must be thinking… it’s an Adam Sandler movie meaning of course it’s going to be funny, but it was also be odd and immature? Well you are correct, since his movies are always like that, and I may in fact be biased because I think he is one of the funniest actors in Hollywood, but this movie was truly hilarious. I laughed so much my face actually started to hurt and I almost started to cry.

Jack and Jill is a movie where Jack (played by Adam Sandler) has to meet his twin sister Jill (also Adam Sandler) at the airport for her to spend Thanskgiving with them. She then refuses to leave, which ends up creating a hilarious situation.

If you want to laugh (a lot!) go out and see this movie. Definitely awesome.

To start off…

I don’t think I have ever blogged before… so I am totally new to this. I figured it would be something fun to do, and maybe I could help promote things I’m interested in. I have many friends who are musicians, I love movies and I do a lot of charity work, so I’m thinking those are the thing’s I’ll start blogging about and go from there….

So now, onto thinking about the second, but first actual blog…..
