Mariahs new stuff....
I really did not like one single off her last "comeback" album...I mean..she def did well with it but it wasn't my style. I tried out the tracks from brand new album---E=MC2 and its not bad at all. The highlights are "O.O.C" , "Lovin U Long Time", "Bye Bye" and "Migrate" ...so download those and for the record- I didn't like "Touch My Body" much.
OMFG...lol---GOSSIP GIRL RETURNS MONDAY NIGHT AT 8PM ON THE CW!
I can't believe I ended up falling in love with this show. I'm super excited for it to be back. Should be great, if you haven't watched this show yet- you are totally missing out.
In other TV NEWS:
The Office has returned to a fairly funny season. Desperate Housewives was quite over the top but still enjoyable.
It's time to get back in shape ya'll!!!
Ew ...a book?!
Haha..I used to be like that too but after just gifting this to someone and hearing their massive and positive response- I have to post about it on here. NINETEEN MINUTES by Jodi Picoult is one of the best books I've ever read. I finished it about a year ago, it was ironically released right during the midst of the VT massacre (a year already...wow!). It is a tough book, but one to be read and devoured. Please read it- it touches base on all the drama that goes along with a school shooting- and gives a positive message that could help us all understand why these things happen and also help us to prevent it. I highly suggest you give it a shot, you won't be able to put it down.
Hey Everybody!
I've been so busy--I feel like I always say that--but I have been.....anyway.....I graduate soon plus I'm performing in CABARET up at my college right now and have other stuff in the works before I can really get back to all this and enjoying my summer and saving some money!! Some cool comedies (Harold and Kumar 2, Baby Mama) are coming out soon so expect reviews of those! Also, Renee Zelwegger is shooting a film here in Baltimore this summer so I will try to find out all I can about that and maybe get some work as an extra. But hope you are all enjoying this awesome weather and the spring season!

The Ruins
(8.5/10)
Ahhh. Okay well I'm surprised I even went and saw this but whats weird is that usually I can always tell if a movie won't get screened to critics. But this one looked good and more professional- yet it didn't have early screenings which usually is bad news. I've got to the point that with atleast just this genre (horror) ...you have to see them for yourself and that is just what I did here and I am glad.
Five friends on vacation in Cancun decide to switch up their lazy beach days and suddenly end up on a tourist trap of sorts on a haunted mayan temple of ruins. Havoc ensues when the village people of the area will not let them leave since once you've touched the temple- you are cursed. Sounds confusing, kinda is, but as always- need to suspend some disbelief. I will say that overall acting was not its best but everyone had shining moments here and there- the consistent talent, and rightfully so, with the most detailed resume under her belt was Jena Malone (Into the Wild, Saved!).
This movie is not for the weak-stomached! I consider mine strong but even I was getting sick, woo- it's just not pleasant with barely any comic relief. It's just a different and unique story- no supernatural, no serial killers-- just human nature and mother nature gone apeshit. Apparently, fans of the book are disappointed in the authors decision for so many drastic changes but he claimed "I thought the readers could have a surprise when they watch the movie."- Basically, I agree...more often than not- fans of books ALWAYS complain and books are ALWAYS better. Who knows...anyway- the movie rushes to a conclusion that will leave you breathless- literally! I was breathing heavy and so scared- because this movie is so unpredictable- not until the final second do you know how it will end. I've never felt so unsafe but I was very satisfied.
I fear this will fall off the radar soon but...give it a shot- it will creep you out big time.
