Christmas Holiday Specials

    Merry mornings, afternoons, and nights candy canes. Wow! Can you believe it? It’s Christmas time already.  The trees are all lit up beautifully, homes are decorated, the trees are filled with love and beauty, and there are Christmas lights everywhere! That means we need some fun, upbeat, happy  Christmas movies to look forward to in the spirit of Christmas right? Well, great news I have the best Christmas movies ever for those warm cherishing moments with the family.  So  feel free to accompany me in this bright colorful trip to your interest....

    First up we have our classic best “Home Alone.” Most of us know this movie to be the cutest, funniest, most playful movie of Christmas ever! The story line starts off with an 8-year old boy (Kevin), who doesn’t get enough attention from his parents since they are a large bunch. Like any other 8 year old boy with siblings, Kevin doesn’t always get the attention he wants, he is forgotten a lot but still loved, and constantly picked on by his siblings and cousins. Being the baby of the family his older siblings pick on him a lot and do what any other siblings do to their younger siblings: get them in trouble. The day they were supposed to leave for Christmas vacation Kevin is accidentally left behind while his family flies to France. What does an 8 year old boy left home alone do? He gets excited and goes crazy with excitement. Crashing action, the little boy with fortitude is left to fend off the crazy idiotic burglars on his own to protect his luxurious home. Find out what happens...& guess what? There are sequels too! Best for any age...
    Next up is another classic best “How the Grinch stole Christmas,” with Jim Carrey that was developed from Dr. Seuss's cartoon version. The movie portrays a green creature filled with jealousy, greed, and anger towards Christmas. The creature’s intentions were to steal Christmas! That’s not in the good spirit of Christmas, now is it? The movie is a funny, feel-good, lesson-learned kind of movie and I recommend it to any age. It’s a fun, cute, exciting, funny, creative, story on how the Grinch stole Christmas...
    Another fun family movie is “Elf.” This movie is funny, cute, and heartwarming. Buddy the elf was a newborn baby that had traveled into Santa's bag when Santa had dropped down for a visit. The baby was raised as an elf at the North Pole and named Buddy. The different  ungainly size of Buddy caused him to travel to the U.S in search of his identity and who he was supposed to be.
    Another one is “Fred Claus,” a personal favorite! This movie is “hi-larious”, brain-racking, adorable, fun, silly, and amazing! The movie tells of Fred Claus and his brother...SANTA CLAUS! Growing up Fred was always pushed to side and all attention was given to Santa Claus. The brothers are complete opposites of each other. Fred was completely jealous and envious of his brother and grew up embarking on a very distant relationship. During Christmas time Fred Claus was forced to move to the North Pole. Now remember these brothers are like any other brothers. They have their fights, arguments, disagreements, and so on. Being Santa Claus is hard work! The man already has a lot  of  Christmas presents to prepare for and now his brother is there to stir up the excitement...
    There are many more feel-good Christmas movies I personally love and think are heartwarming, cute, funny, entertaining, and  MUST SEES. If you like what you have just read and want more feel free to try out these Christmas movies too...
. “The Polar Express”
. “This Christmas”
 “A Christmas Story”
. “A Christmas Carol”
 “Rise of the Guardians"

    There are a lot more you can try out too, but those are the main best ones. Now that’s all the time left. Have a wonderful vacation full of love, care, and happiness. Till next time “merry seekers,” Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!...

Family Fun Time

Welcome back citizens of television! Now as you know my main target reviews are about sci-fi or devious girls right? Well let’s try something new! Let’s invite laughter, life, joy, and realistic value of life into the picture. This TV show is one of the funniest shows in America, have you ever heard of “Modern Family”? This comedy explores the regular flaws of a family!
 

The TV show “Modern Family” is “hi-larious!” It explores common issues of a growing family and how people may handle them or want to handle them in this modern century. The main families of the show are Jay Pritchett ( an elderly man and also the patriarch of the family show),who marries the young, beautiful, latina Gloria, and becomes the stepfather to Manny. Now that being said we know the age difference in marriage gets people talking, and the producers find the usual complaints families would say, and “inject” them into the fictional characters to make it more amusing. There is also the cultural clash between Gloria and Jay because of Gloria’s Colombian heritage. Most of the time he deals with Gloria’s attitude and Manny’s sensitivity and odd overly mature ways. Jay Pritchett also has two kids, Claire and Mitchell, who are grown and have their own families. Jay also struggles with expressing his love to his kids causing pretty hilarious awkward moments.
 

Claire Dunphy, wife of Phil, and mother of three children: Haley, Alex, and Luke is your typical, average mother; usually stressed all the time, corny, and trying her hardest to prevent her kids from becoming wild like she was in her teenage years. Her husband Phil considers her to be very naggy, strict, and overly excited to certain issues. Claire considers Phil as the “child” she married. There is constant verbal arguing during the show about disagreements regular married couples have.The two raise their children to take on life, trying to shield them from possessing any type of bad qualities or characteristics. But as we know all children are flawed: Hayley, the teenager and the oldest which the parents have to deal with her hormonal issues; Alex with her manipulative nature; and Luke with his mindless lack of sense. Fun and interesting family, huh?

Then there is Mitchell Pritchett, who also happens to be gay. His family embraces the fact that he is gay and the show exaggerates the gay couple, which I think is like one of the best qualities of the show. Mitchell Pritchett and his husband Cameron adopt a baby girl from China. And being the first timers that they are, they strive for the goal to raise their daughter to be the best she can be, driving over bumps in the road on their way there.

            The fictional characters talk directly to the camera going into detail about emotions of rage, annoyance, joy, or confusion after an action is made or something is said, and personally I think it makes it all the more better. The show is a mockumentary on ideal families and the difficulties and pleasures we experience. It has sibling rivalries, teenage drama, parental issues,parent-child conflicts, and family changes. It’s a must see if you’re looking for joy, life, laughter, or something to watch with the family. It teaches you life lessons and the important value of family. Overall the show opens you up to normal family issues and mocks them makes them sound ridiculous, puts tickles in your throat , and stirs laughter. It’s a great show! Anyone looking for a laugh should definitely, 100% watch this! You can watch it on abc family at 9/8 central on Wednesday.

Till our next encounter citizens!

One Tree Hill
 

 

Step into the new TV season of 2003!
 

 

        Welcome back, teenage titans! Hope your Thanksgivings were thankful. I’ve got brand new news: I am going to start a once a month post where I talk about an old TV show that was a pretty hot series. A lot of people are tired of all the new TV shows They argue about the value of old TV shows, saying they were better, and that they showed more romance, humor, joy, tragedy, suspense, revenge, betrayal and other interesting themes. Well, I was thinking back to old times and the number one hit TV series that popped into my head was “One Tree Hill.” You may or may not be familiar with the show, so let me elaborate.
 

        This series follows the consequential lives of a few high school students from a small town in North Carolina, Tree Hill. The show emphasizes what goes on in the lives of high schoolers. There is relationship drama, mistreatment, school hierarchies, competition, friendship, betrayal, family issues, and the famous cause of stomach butterflies, CRUSHES. The series follows a few students, but the main focus is Haley James, Brooke Davis, Nathan Scott, Lucas Scott, and Peyton Sawyer.

         Lucas Scott is a skilled basketball player, playing the sport for fun, writing his life out on his personal computer, experiencing his own father denying his existence, being mistreated by the basketball team, and struggling to find his identity. He seems to fancy Peyton Sawyer a lot. Peyton Sawyer stands with the popular crew, but doesn’t really feel like she fits in. She struggles with the loss of a parent( her mother), the feeling of being an outcast, and dating the player Nathan Scott(captain of the basketball team). Even though she is artistic she struggles with feeling lack of confidence, having attitude problems, and struggling with her identity as well. The feelings Lucas and Peyton have for each other and how they struggle to express them are entertaining, in my opinion. Nathan Scott is rich and popular. He too hates the way his father treats him and strives to be the best in basketball. He also has commitment issues. He’s what you call a player and also a heartless cliche. Nathan finds someone who helps him open up and change his ways to...well you can find out.

In contrast to these troubled characters, Brooke Davis is very sure of who she is and what she wants to be, but finds herself learning new things about herself. She is the school slut, rocking in the popular crowd, talented in design, and secretly smart. She deals with a lack of attention from her rich, careless and heartless mother. She strives with trust issues, temptation and betrayal. Brooke is best friends with Peyton and is pretty skanky in this series and you would be surprised to know what follows. Haley James, another strong personality, is best friends with Lucas. She is extremely smart, outgoing, kind, supportive, and caring. She doesn’t really toil in high school, at the beginning she has all that she needs. But she finds herself developing feelings for the person she’s supposed to hate and that causes a few new twists as the story develops.



The characters are portrayed realistically, even at their worst, and the show gives a pretty accurate picture of high school life. I think that “One Tree Hill” is an amazing TV show and if you like the series, you’ll be happy to learn that there are 8 seasons with 187 episodes to watch. Seriously, it’s one of my favorite shows so WATCH IT on Netflix.

Thanksgiving Holiday Specials

Hello ladies and gents of TV specials. As we know Thanksgiving is tomorrow! What are you thankful for? If you answered that with a joyful, excited, list of wonderful things to yourself, then fantastic. If you answered that with a cold hearted, hateful attitude, then golly am I glad you stopped here! In one of my recent post I told you I was going to have some traditional holiday fun movies to watch with the family and a plate of feasting deliciousness. Well, good news I found some! Now it is extremely hard to find some fun, legit, interesting thanksgiving movies because everyone is so fixated on Christmas, even though Thanksgiving hasn’t even passed yet! But I found four entertaining movies that take place during Thanksgiving and may or may not express family values, entertainment, upbeat moods, and other proud qualities of this holiday. Keep in mind, because of this generation's lack of Thanksgiving advertising movie respect, these movies are very old...

So come along and read on...

There is “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” a cute old fashion movie that I would say is good for children 7 and under but, also just to have some good intentional minds on what Thanksgiving is about feel free to watch it too! Charlie Brown is probably a 5-10 year old kid, who has a very negative perspective on Thanksgiving, but with the help of friends he sees what Thanksgiving is all about...

“Planes, Trains and Automobiles,” is another movie that takes place during Thanksgiving and I personally think it’s going to be pretty funny.. It’s about a businessman who’s going on a plane to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his family, but then he got put into coach and had to sit with an obnoxious salesman. Now the obnoxiousness of the salesman as well as the funny scenes of the businessman's lack of patience and tolerance, is really funny! Just imagine how people would handle sitting with someone so obnoxious and times it by thirty! That horrible experience and then on top of all of that, there is a snow storm delay that forces them to land in Wichita. Now the obnoxious salesman invites the businessman to stay with him at the motel, with no choice he accepts the offer and you can find out how it goes from there. This movie has a huge profanity problem for young viewers under 16 though, so I advise you get permission from your parents first...
 

“The Myth of Fingertips,” looks like an interesting movie to watch too. It expresses family values, flaws in a family, and other family movie characteristics. Its about family and what it means; growing up and becoming an adult. This movie falls onto Thanksgiving and conveys family excitement and family fun time. It looks and sounds interesting from what I hear so try giving that a go...

Lastly we have “Funny People” a movie that Adam Sandler, movie comic gold , plays in. This movie is about a guy name George, a stand up comedian who discovers he has a blood disorder and is given less than a year to live. George juggles his goal to become a very successful comedian and his deli job, when he meets Ira, (another stand up comedian) he hires Ira as his personal assistant and friend. It’s supposed to be a funny movie about how he traces his roots back, struggles to become successful, turns the world into a fun place to laugh, and realizes how important life value is.

With all that said, Happy Thanksgiving! Remember how Thankful you are for your life and how good you have it than others. Always be thankful for what you have and...

Being Human
 

Could you live in a fantasy world and live a lie or come face to face with who you are and accept it?
 

       Ay-up to you, fellow slaves of television. Why am I speaking like this, you ask? Well, it’s because there are other TV shows besides American ones that are just as entertaining. Have you heard of “Being Human”? If you have, which one? Because there is the UK version and the US version, and I am talking about the UK version. If you haven’t seen it yet, then you should, and here is why. We all struggle with being human. We struggle with stress, nerves, fear, depression, heartbreaks, pain, confusion, conflict, danger, sickness, as well as good feelings like joy and silliness. When we make mistakes, we are only human; when we try to achieve too much, we are only human; when we have too much on our plate, we are only human; when we show our true feelings and emotions, we are only human. Well, this show is about a ghost, a vampire, and a werewolf living under the same roof who are...only human.

 

       The ghost Annie has died a mysterious tragic death at a young age in her house. Annie struggles with being lost, scared, confused, lonely, and, well, dead. She fights to try to get through to people who can’t see her or don’t want to see her. She’s the ghost that moved things, broke things, and performed other supernatural acts to get people to acknowledge that she’s there. She has to deal with the fact that she is now dead and her life has been stripped from her. Also, what is a ghost still doing on planet Earth? Usually when we are inviting in the idea of paranormal it’s unfinished business. Annie’s death was no accident– something or someone killed her. But what or who? Annie has to fulfill those lost questions and answers that are lingering around.

       The vampire Mitchell struggles with being a blood–sucking, life–stealing, hazardous, and supernatural being. Mitchell’s life was taken from him to live a normal life as a human being. He hates being a vampire, unlike the strong and important vampire recruiters who see themselves as having the amazing power to heal the dying or sick; along with the cost of hurting others, killing others, and being a monster; Mitchell isn't so fond of the idea and tries his best to control his thirst for blood. But Mitchell is being forced to come face to face with what he is.

        The werewolf George was forced to become a supernatural being as well. One night on a walk in the woods, some animal scratched him and killed his best friend. Before George knew it, he was in the woods going through excruciating pain. So now every full moon, all of his bones break, his insides burst and he transforms into a nightmare –the big bad wolf. George tries to act like the wolf is separate from him and he tries to ignore the nightmare he is living.

        All of these supernatural creatures living under the same roof, just trying to be human. Struggling to lock these ugly secrets away and out of their mind. Pretending to live a fantasy life where they’re completely normal. Every single day they are lured into mental traps, actual traps, or feelings of despair. Also you'll be really shocked and surprised to discover the cause of Annie’s death. It’s definitely a mystery worth discovering. You can watch it on Netflix or search it in Google and find many websites where you can watch it online. Also let this be a warning to young viewers to get permission from your parents first. It’s best for ages 15 or older.

Hairy Problems Pile Up!

 

The supernatural population increases!

Hello, my delightful television seekers! Today’s post will be about “Teen Wolf” I know, I know the title sounds horrible. I mean seriously “Teen Wolf?” But haven’t you heard the phrase don’t judge a book by its cover? Just subsitute book with TV show. Teen Wolf was expected by many to be very cliché, corny, and cheesy. Thankfully it’s not, and it was worth spending personal free time on. This show has people shocked and amazed on how fantastic it came to be. Teen Wolf is suspenseful, creative, romantic, mysterious, exciting, supernatural, and the cast is great too. Don’t believe me? Read on then...

 

 

The setting takes place in Beacon Hills, California. It is about how teenager Scott McCall, a nobody in high school with a love of lacrosse and a loyal trustworthy best friend, is bitten by a Werewolf. It wasn’t just any werewolf either, it was the alpha. Scott was just a normal sixteen-year-old who wasn’t really at the top of the hierarchy for high school. Stiles was his best friend and also the son of the chief police at Beacon Hills. The two go wandering out to look for the half naked girl, who was murdered and cut in half in the woods. In these woods Scott does find the other half of the naked girl, but he is also bitten by a mysterious animal, who we later find out is a werewolf.


           Now this is where the story gets interesting! The next day, which is the first day of school, Scott tells his buddy that he thinks he got bit by a wolf. Stiles response is that's impossible; there are no wolves in California. Scott was convinced it was nothing, but that changed when he could hear things much louder and clearer than it was, and when he could move faster and quicker, than any human could. The biggest concern is when he was stronger and a ten times better player in lacrosse than ever. That is when the recent best player on the team, Jackson Whittemore, gets jealous and suspicious. Next we have a love affair between Scott and the new girl, who also takes a huge part in the show than just the dream girl. Scott is completely unprepared for this whole werewolf thing, but luckily his best friend Stiles knows all about it and how to cope with it.The plot reaches higher proportions though; not only does Scott deal with the fact that he is a werewolf, but there are also werewolf hunters.
 
    I personally give this show a four-star rating. The cast is great, the plot always seems to be just a small part of an even bigger situation, it has some fun humor, it’s supernatural, the relationship statuses are fun, and more! I would recommend anyone who likes supernatural shows and movies to definitely put this in mind. You can watch this on Netflix for the first season, or watch it on cable on MTV, or go tohttp://www.mtv.com/videos/teen-wolf-season-2-ep-1-omega/1686088/playlist.jhtml for full episodes, sneak peeks, cast meetings, and more! Those of you who already watch "Teen Wolf"f should tune in later on in the year, for our recap of everything that has passed and what is to come, because as you know the season is over . . . but when it is back on we will have lots to talk about!
See you whenever TV buddies!
