Tron: Legacy; Movie Review

Overdone and Underdone. Tron falls short of awesomeness.
   We all know it's hard to make a film. People get that. But when you try too hard on one thing in a movie, it seems like you've ditched the other parts of the film that made up the movie. The director tries a little too hard on some stuff in this movie. For example, the effects had lots of... effort. There was proof there was effort put into it. A LOT of it. It proved to be too much. While you're watching, I feel like my eyes are about to spontaneously combust. Hey, better luck next time on a smaller screen, you glowing bike! Ok, that was stupid :-/. I also felt the film tried too hard sneaking religion into it. Long story short: God made Devil. Devil is bad. God has son. He is Jesus. Jesus is savior and only hope. And... that's how Tron pretty much goes. With glowey bikes in it. Which makes for a pretty bland story for anyone who's gone to Sunday School or church. I'm not going to give this an F, because this movie had effort put into it. I'll give it a....? C- I told you I could be generous!

Meet The Parents; Movie Review

    Okay guys, I know this movie is old, but I just saw it and I really like it. It's about this guy who meets the parents of his girlfriend who he is planning to marry. The only problem is, he needs the parents' approval to marry her. And EVERYTHING goes wrong. This is a really funny movie but you end up feeling bad for the guy at the end. B

The Black Eyed Peas: The Beginning; Album Review

    One of The Black Eyed Peas' best albums yet.
    Before I review this album, let me say one thing. I am a HUGE  fan of The Black Eyed Peas. I could probably name all of their songs off the top of my head right now. No joke. Before The E.N.D. came out, I was really excited for the album. Well, I was disappointed. Instead of making music with original beats and nice vocals, they welcomed auto-tune to the party. I didn't really like the album, but I grew into it... kind of.  But this album didn't disappoint. They still had auto-tune, but I thought it was used a little better than the last album. This should definitely be on your list for downloading.
   The album starts out with The Time (Dirty Bit), the hit single released before the album. It's another one of their partying songs with a good feel to them. Plus, they sampled part of a different song. Another highlight on the album is Love You Long Time. It's also another one of their love songs. The two best songs to me were XOXOXO and Do It Like This. XOXOXO is about how we can express love through technology, and the outcome was great. Do It Like This reminded me of Boom Boom Pow, a song that seemed to have no meaning at all, but had some meaning after all. (Even if the meaning was pathetic) And comes out as an awesome song.
   Although I thought it was better than The E.N.D., I still thought it could use some more work. B

What to Download:
Hit single The Time (Dirty Bit)
Love You Long Time
XOXOXO
Do it Like This
