The Proposal

This is probably my favorite movie of all time cause holy cow, IT'S HILARIOUS! Obviously it's going to be hilarious because Sandra Bullock is in it and she is amazing! It's definitely one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and it never fails to make me laugh no matter how many times I've seen it! The movie was made in 2009 (sorry, it's another kind of older movie.. But it's too funny not to suggest!) and it was directed by Anne Fletcher. Anne is a very successful director. She has directed 27 Dresses and the first Step Up movie, both really incredible movies.   

For many years, Andrew Paxton has been slaving as an assistant for Margaret Tate, an editor. Margaret is facing deportation because her visa expired. She has come up with a plan that her and Andrew are getting married, and he agrees, as long as he gets a promotion. This is when things get interesting. They fly to Andrew's home town for his grandmas ninetieth birthday, but little did Margaret know, he lived in Sitka, Alaska. They keep up the charade, but INS thinks they are faking, and is ready to arrest Andrew for fraud and deport Margaret. Did they pull it off and Margaret gets to stay in the country? Or does something more happen (something more does happen...)?! Watch the movie and find out!

My favorite character in the movie is Gammy and she is played by Betty White, possibly the funniest person of all time. Her character just reminds me a lot of my grandma, they both say a lot of funny things on accident. She makes up funny dances and is really outgoing. Near the end of the movie, she pulls a stunt that scared me to death but if you know what's coming, it's actually really funny. Also, there's a really cute little white puppy in the movie and it melts my heart and I want it..

Andrew is played by Ryan Reynolds (holy cow he is good looking) and Margaret is played by Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock is one of my favorite actresses (if you couldn't already tell I wrote a post about just her...) because she is insanely funny in her comedies that she does. Ryan does a really good job of being really sarcastic in a funny way and sort of acting as a typical male. Sandra does an amazing job with her role. She nailed being a bossy boss (that's really fun to say...) that everyone hates, but secretly is a really good person. All of the other actors/actresses work extremely well together in completing the side characters and an incredible movie was made.

Please, watch this movie, it's one of the greatest things ever! If you don't believe me, watch the movie trailer HERE! See you next time. (471 words)

Sandra Bullock

One of my favorite actresses of all time is Sandra Bullock. She is a very adverse actress. She is in a lot of comedies, drama, and does some romance too. She is 50 years old (though you would never guess this if you've ever seen her. She's beautiful!) and has been in more movies than I can count! She has won 56 awards ranging from Golden Globes to Jupiter Awards. Not only is she a phenomenal actress, she is a wonderful person too. She adopted a little African American boy named Louis. He is cuter than a button may I add.

The movies she has participated in include Gravity, The Heat, The Proposal, The Blind Side, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Miss Congeniality, and many MANY more! I think she has been in a total of 51 movies! That's a lot of movies! Every single movie I have seen with her in it has been awesome! One of my favorite movies is The Proposal. It's super duper funny and she rocks. She is my woman crush!     (176 words)

The Voice

The voice has just started its seventh season last week and I could not be more excited! It is an American reality singing competition. The idea behind this show is to find awesome singers by having them perform for four judges, that then become coaches, in the blind auditions. The coaches for this season are Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, and Gwen Stefani. In the blind auditions, the coaches are in these big chairs that are facing the audience not the singer making it "blind" for the coaches. The singer then sings a part of a song that they choose themselves, and the coaches press a button that turns their chairs around if they want that person to be on their team. If more than one person's chair turns, they all argue and give a pitch about why that person should be on their team and it's pretty hilarious because Blake and Adam have a rivalry and they always try and beat each other on this show! If no one turns, the person doesn't make it on the show. Each coach can have twelve people on their teams.

The next stage in this competition is the Battle Rounds. During the battles, two people from one team will be chosen by their coach to perform against each other. The coach then has to choose one of the singers and the other one will not make it to the live performances. There are steals in this round, so each coach has two steals. The steals allow a coach to take one of the performers that wasn't chosen in the battle rounds and put them on their team.

Then come the live performances! Each week everyone performs a song chosen by their coach. You have to vote for people in order for them to stay on the show. In the beginning of the live performances, only one person gets eliminated, then it progresses to two people getting eliminated. These performances continue until one person is left, and they are the winner! The coach who's singer wins the show also "wins" the show too. The winner of the show gets $100,000 and a record deal with Universal Music Group. Sometimes even the people who don't win the show become famous.

Adam and Blake have been on the show ever since it started. On the other hand, this is Gwen and Pharrell's first season on the voice! Other people who have been coaches on the voice are Christina Aguilera, Usher, Shakira, and CeeLo Green. Blake has won the show three times, Adam has won two times, and Usher has won once. The previous winners of the show are Javier Colon, Jermaine Paul, Cassadee Pope, Danielle Bradbery, Tessanne Chin, and Josh Kaufman.  

Me and my family make this show really fun to watch because we all make bets on who we think will win the voice! I have won twice (yes I am the champion!) with Danielle and Josh, and my mom has won once with Tessanne. We just started watching this show during season three. It's crazy how many good singers come on the voice and it's awesome to watch! I hope you watch it!    (531 words)  

The Dreaded Twilight Series

Don't ask me why, but I used to be obsessed with the Twilight Saga, and I guess I still kind of am.. I'm not proud of it, okay? But how could you not love it! It has vampires and werewolves and crazy stuff like that in it! I love romance books and movies and this is definitely a romance. There are four books; Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn, written by Stephanie Meyer. There are five movies based off of these books. Each book got a movie, but the last one was too long (freaking 754 pages long!) so they made it two movies.

The main character in the series is Bella Swan, and she is a very awkward girl who moved from living with her mom in Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington to live with her dad. She is seventeen years old when the series starts and she meets a peculiar person named Edward Cullen. At first she thought that he didn't like her very much (you should see the look on his face when she first sits by him!), but then she found out that he was a vampire. They fall in love, even though it's very dangerous, and go through a lot of problems together. At one point, Edward even tried leaving Forks to keep Bella from falling in love with him, but failed and they end up falling in love anyway.

Edward has a "family" and they are awesome. Esme is one of my favorite characters, and she acts as sort of the mom of the family. She is married to Carlisle, who turned Edward and Esme into vampires to begin with. He is the father of the family. Along the way, Rosalie, Alice, Emmet, and Jasper join in to the clan too. This is very different for Bella because she doesn't have any siblings just two parents and a best friend. Her mom, Renee, is not a very prominent character in the books, but her dad Charlie is. I love him because he is sarcastic and funny. Her best friend is Jacob Black and he is a part of the native Ticuna Indian Tribe. He is one of the main characters in the series. Bella later finds out that he is a werewolf.  

Of course there has to be a few bad guys in the plot. It all starts with three vampires named James, Victoria, and Laurent. They ran into the Cullens one day and realized that they had a human friend. The first time they saw her is when they decided that they wanted to hunt her. Eventually all of them die because the wonderful Edward protects her. Then the Volturi (sort of the dictators of the vampire world) find out about Bella and are upset that she knows about vampires. Three vampires make up the Volturi and they are Aro, Caius, and Marcus and they have a guard with special "powers" (example of these gifts are Edward and Alice. Edward can read peoples minds and Alice can see into the future). They told Bella and Edward that she either had to become a vampire or die because she knew their secret.

I don't think that the roles of these characters could be played better than the ones chosen for the movies. Bella is played by Kristen Stewart and she knows how to play an awkward role let me tell you. Sometimes it made me laugh at how weird she was, but then I realized that she was supposed to be that way. I really love that Robert Pattinson is Edward because he is definitely eye candy and no one expected him to be good for the role but he was magnificent. Jacob is played by Taylor Lautner and he physically fits the role. I would explain to you why everyone is perfect for their roles but that would probably take too long...

I guess you could say I am obsessed with this series because I have read the all of the books (I even read the last book like twelve times...) and I have seen all of the movies. Sometimes when I get bored, I watch the last movie again.. I know practically all of the lines in that movie. I'm not proud of it. I even taught myself how to play some of the songs in the movies on the piano. Yeah I know, I have a problem!

If my craziness doesn't convince you to read the books and watch the movies then I don't know what will! See you soon!    (760 words)
