Drake & Josh

Drake and Josh is a hilarious television show that use to be on Nickelodeon. It was about two step brothers one of them is really popular ad attractive while the other one is a chubby nerd that has to follow the rules. Drake (the attractive one) is always getting Josh (the nerdy one) in trouble. It’s so funny because whenever they get into a bad situation drake just blows it off but Josh has a complete meltdown. They also have a little sister named Megan. She is probably the worst little sister you could ever imagine because she acts like a little angel around the parents but is a complete devil child when she talks to the guys. She also plans really good ideas to prank people. In one episode Drake and Josh were standing in their room then suddenly the floor collapsed and they fell through the ground, they thought it was a coincidence until they saw Megan standing over them laughing. So she is just a really mean little sister that I’m glad I don’t have. One of my favorite episodes is when Drake and Josh decide to get back at their sister. Megan just got a new telescope in the mail and she was using it every night to look at the stars. So Josh being the nerd he is made a CD that looked like an alien ship and set it up with the telescope so when Megan looked through it looked like there was an alien ship up in the sky. When Megan went to go use it and saw the UFO she freaked out and told everybody but nobody believed her. Drake and Josh took this prank one step further they set up a device and told Megan she can try to communicate to the aliens through it. But instead of her actually communicating with the alien it was going to be them on the other end. Finally to end the prank they dressed in alien outfits and humped out when Megan was using her telescope she was finally filled in on what they were doing and was really mad. So one night Drake, Josh, and Megan were all outside with the telescope and suddenly they saw lights coming from behind their gate then suddenly what they thought were actual aliens came from behind the gate and chased all of them. Megan acted scared but really she was just getting back at them for what they did to her. I love this episode because it’s so funny. No matter how hard Drake and Josh try they can never prank Megan as well as she can prank them. The funniest part about it is she is so young and Drake and Josh are teenager boys who can never figure out what she will do next. This was such a good show and really upset when they ended it. I still see it on from time to time and it makes me really happy because this was a classic.(Word count: 507)

waterboy

Water Boy is a hilarious movie starring Adam Sandler. It takes place in Louisiana and Adam comes from a family of just him and his mom and he is not very smart because he has never been put in school. He is thirty years old and is a water boy for college football team who doesn’t appreciate how much works he puts into making the perfect water for them. He ends up getting fired from that job so he tries to find another college to water boy for. Bobby eventually finds a very low class college with a horrible football team, he doesn’t even get paid but he still does it for fun. Well they start to make booby mad by making fun of him and one day he just snaps and tackles one of the football players. The coach wants to put him on the team but he doesn’t think mama will let him play. The coach tries to convince mama to let Bobby play football but she thinks football is the “Devil”. Bobby starts to play behind her back and the football team slowly starts to get better. They eventually get to the top of the charts and so does Bobbies name. Mama figures out what Bobby was doing and she pretends to be really sick and goes to the hospital. Bobby quits football right before they need him for the big game. In the end mama admits that she was faking and lets him play. They win and Bobby gets married to his dream girl. Even though the story line seems pretty Hollywood the movie is so funny just because the characters are so ridiculous. The mom thinks everybody is the devil. Bobby is so stupid and naive. The coach’s assistant speaks gibberish and nobody can understand a word he is saying. And of course it takes place in the south and the point of the movie is showing the worse of them. Even though it’s a stupid funny it’s still a good movie and anybody would enjoy this movie. (word count 380)

Beauty fa daysss

Lately I have had an obsession with Lauren Conrad. If you don’t know who she is, she was on Hills which was a reality show that used to be on MTV but now she is an author. She had some bad experiences with TV and wanted to get away so that’s why she is an author now. She has written fiction and nonfiction books. I haven’t read her fiction books but I do own one of her nonfiction books and I absolutely love it! It’s a book that gives you pointers on how to do makeup, nails, hair, and how to take care of your skin. I’ve learned so many things that I would have never guessed would work. One of my favorite chapters is the skin chapter. Lauren Conrad talks about how take care of your skin and what is best for it. One really interesting thing I learned is that where you have zits is caused by different things. For instance if have zits on your forehead they are caused by stress, zits in between your eyebrows are caused by eating bad, and zits on your cheeks are caused by your immune system, so if you were sick you might get zits on your cheek. I also learned that any skin care lotion, wash, or cream that is scented is bad for your skin because even though you like the smell, they add unneeded chemicals to get the smell which can be dangerous for your skin. Another one of my favorite chapters is the makeup section. These days a lot of girls like to wear A LOT of makeup, so she teaches you how to apply, what looks best on certain skin types, and what you shouldn’t do when it comes to putting on makeup. Some of the things are pretty obvious like don’t have foundation lines, don’t have raccoon eyes, and don’t wear crazy eye shadow. Lauren Conrad taught me where to put my concealer, foundation and bronzer. I use to think that you just spread it evenly but there are actually places to put them to make your skin and face structure look better. This book helped me a lot, it taught me things I would have never guessed worked, or was bad. I love makeup and hair and trying new things with it, so this book opened me to new things. If you like these kinds of things I would highly recommend that you go out and buy it. It’s a great book and after you read it, you will look great too! (word count 445)

The Notebook... Enough said

Lemme tell yah The Notebook is a classic love story and is loved by millions. It’s about an old couple where the wife has Alzheimer and the husband goes and reads her journal to her about how they met in hopes that she will remember him. The movie starts out with the old couple and it switches between them being old and young. Noah (husband) and Allie (wife) come from opposite worlds, Noah is very poor and Allie has never worked a day in her life. At first Noah tries so hard just to get Allies attention but she just blows him off. Noah doesn't give up easily and when he sees something he wants he’s just got to have it! After a while Allie starts to fall for Noah and soon after they fall in love and are inseparable. Of course Allies parents don't approve of her dating this dirty low class guy and they make her move and go to college when they are still madly in love. Noah sends her letters every day for a year but he never gets a response and after the year goes by he stops trying and hopes to move on. It turns out that Allies mom has been keeping the letters hidden from her so she thinks Noah moved on but in reality he hasn't. So Allie finds another guy and gets engaged but right as this happens Noah shows up in her life and she has to make the decision between the two. In the end you figure out that Noah and Allie are the old couple and it’s a very touching moment. Notebook is my favorite romantic movie for one of two reasons; the first one is because it made me cry and the second reason is because Noah is played by Ryan Gosling who is my favorite actor. They do such a good job of not letting you figure out that the old people are the couple until the end. And when the moment hits you where you figure out you just can’t help but cry! My favorite part in the whole movie is when Allie and Noah go on the boat ride on Noah's lake and its starts rain. You figure out that Noah wrote all the letters and he didn't want to give up, he still cared and so did Allie. It’s very intense and even though I have seen the movie a billion times I still get goose bumps when they yell at each other in the rain. I can’t even start to begin how amazing this movie is! It doesn't matter whether you're a girl or guy you still need to see this movie. Anybody of any age would enjoy it; it’s the classic love story. And if you haven't seen it yet, go out and buy it because you will want to watch it over and over again! (486 Words)

F.U.N

Everybody once in their life have seen SpongeBob whether it was an old or new episode. Its either you like SpongeBob or you hate it. I personally can't get enough of it! To me the older, original episodes are the best. I think my overall favorite episode is FUN. It is about SpongeBob trying to turn plankton good. At first Plankton is really stubborn and mean but then SpongeBob sings the FUN song and it suddenly turns Planktons mood and he becomes nice. SpongeBob and Plankton start to become best friends and do everything together. They end up going to go see a movie and SpongeBob takes out a krabby patty for a snack and Plankton steals it. You figure out Plankton was just putting on a nice act to get the formula. The reason why I like that episode so much is because of the FUN song. If you're a fan of SpongeBob you know the FUN song. You can definitely tell the difference between a new and old episode of SpongeBob. The older ones look more blurry and SpongeBob has a different narrator. I personally think that the newer SpongeBob has a whinier voice. Also the more recent episodes I would say have a different sense of humor. Even though the original are really good and they're classics I think the newer ones have a better sense of humor. When you are younger you sometimes don’t pick up on all the jokes, but now that I’m older I realize a lot of funny things I missed in the dialog, even in the older episodes. I think that’s why I still enjoy watching this show. Even though a lot of people say it’s immature, SpongeBob has a lot of jokes fitted into their episodes you wouldn’t pick up unless you were older to actually understand them. To me SpongeBob is funnier than ever! (314 words)

FATTT AMYYY


Over break I went to the movies with a group of friends. We chose to go to the movie “Pitch Perfect”… and let me tell yah it was hilarious. I’m pretty sure I laughed eighty percent of the movie, there was constantly a funny line coming out of someone’s life the entire movie.

            To give you an overview of the movie the setting was at a college. It dealt with different groups you can be a part of during your stay at college and one of the groups was an all acapella singing group. The group in the movie went to different competitions trying to win a big title. The movie was basically all the challenges they went through to get there.

            One of the characters of the movie was “Fat Amy” she was personally my favorite in the movie, some of the things that came out of her mouth were just hilarious to the point where I just couldn’t stop laughing. Here are some of the things that she said:

1.       “You call yourself Fat Amy?”… “Yeah, that way twig B****s like you don’t do it behind my back.”

2.      “Sometimes I have the feeling that I can do crystal meth but then I think, hmmm, better not.”

3.      “Les-be-honest”

4.      “I’m gonna finish you like a piece of cheesecake.”

5.      “Yeah, don’t put me down for cardio.”

6.      “What are you doing” … “Horizontal Running”

 

Too sum her up; she was a very rude yet funny person.  She also had a British accent which just made it all ten times funnier. Her real name is Rebel Wilson; she is in another favorite movie of mine “Bridesmaids”.

If you have ever seen Bridesmaids or The Hangover movies, I think you would really enjoy this movie. I have heard both good and bad things about it. Majority of the people I have talked to think it’s funny but some people have said the purpose of the movie was stupid. When someone told me that I thought about other funny movies and usually funny movies aren’t made to have a good purpose but to solely make you laugh and have a good time. Regardless if you like funny movies or not you should definitely rent or buy this movie when it comes out because it is seriously tears running down your face hilarious! Also you will never forget Fat Amy; she will definitely leave an impact in your life. (408)

just another show on Netflix

The Campaign is a movie about two men running for a spot in congress in their small district. The movie is hilarious because the two guys running against each other are Zach Galifianakis and Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell plays a narcissistic congress man who at first is only running against himself. But the Zach Galfianakis plays a very religious family man who is convinced by his father to run against Will. They start to campaign against each other and it starts off like a regular campaign but then they start to try to get worse and worse. Will always seemed like he was getting a bad rep because he punched a baby and a dog and he also got caught drunk driving. Zach was always made fun of how he was very weak and a push over so he got himself a guy to help him with his campaign. He redid his whole house and look of Zach so Zach would look for authoritative and in charge This movie is so funny because of what they do to each other. It first started off with Will smack talking Zach then it just worse from there. At times the movie was really inappropriate (hints rated R) but I still thought it was hilarious. My favorite part of the movie was when Zach was eating dinner with his wife and two sons. His two sons are chubby and they are very religious. This was when Zach was first joining the campaign and he asked his family to tell him everything, if they lied or did something bad he wanted to hear it from them instead of the press. Zach promised he would not get mad no matter what they said. It started off with his youngest son telling him that he used god name in vain that day at school. But then the lies and stories kept getting worse and worse. I’m not going to mention them because they got I little inappropriate but it was still hilarious. The whole time Zach was trying so hard not to get mad but some of the stuff they were telling them I wouldn’t even want to know about my kids. To me they were just being a little too honest! This movie was great and they picked the perfect guys to play the roles. Will has that cocky side that he’s really good at playing and Zach has that really innocent girly kind of personality. They are also some of the funniest actors/ comedians I know. I really suggest everybody over the age of 15 to go see this movie because it was hilarious and the story line was great. I hate politics and think they very boring but they mad politics easy to understand and funny to watch. (465 Words)

Modernnnn Family

Modern Family is probably one of the funniest sitcoms there is. They have won awards for having such good actors and humor on the show. The show is about three different families that are all related. The first family is Phil, Claire, Alex, Luke, and Hailey. Claire is the control freak that bosses around everybody. Phil is probably my favorite on the show because he tries to wear the pants in the family and keep a positive attitude the whole time but everybody just makes fun of him and pushes him around. The daughter Alex and Hailey are complete opposites, Alex is really smart and doesn’t care about the way she looks while Hailey is not the sharpest tool in the shed and only cares about her appearance. Luke is the youngest and is very naive to everything; he also thinks that his dad is he coolest person in the world. Claire's brother Mitchell who is married to his gay partner named Cameron and they have an adopted girl named Lily. Mitchell is also uptight like Claire, while Cameron is very theatrical and not afraid of expressing his feelings. They are both very proud to be gay and if somebody makes fun of them they will confront them. Even though Cameron is very feminine he tries to act like the tuff guy who drives trucks and likes sports even though that’s not him at all. Finally there is Claire and Mitchell's dad named Jay, he is married to his second wife named Gloria and he has a step son named Manny. Jay isn’t a very excepting man; he doesn’t like how Mitchell is gay and he doesn’t like Phil at all. He is the kind of man who doesn’t express his feeling and if something is wrong to him he has to fix it the way he wants. His wife Gloria is a young, beautiful, and South American with a very strong accent and love for her home country. She tries to make everybody feel better and is willing to accept anybody as her friend or family. Their son Manny is the same age as Luke but is far more intelligent. He is attracted to girls and is always trying to impress them with poems and is intellectuality, it doesn’t work half of the time but he never stops trying. Each family has their own problems and situations and sometimes all three families have the same problem. But somehow they always figure out a solution and move on with their lives. Each episode teaches you a moral about family, work, friends, or how to make a bad situation turn good. It gets chaotic but by the end of the show they make it work. I like this show because I can relate to situations that I’ve gone through with my own family, but they make it funny and good to watch. If you have never seen this show I would suggest watching it, there is no way you wouldn’t appreciate it. (501 words)

lazy weekend 101


Let’s just say this past weekend was most likely considered “LAZY” weekend. While laying in my bed I came upon “Workaholics” which is a hilarious new show that I found on Netflix, but I’m pretty sure it plays on Fox. It’s about three very laid back guys who all work at the same office job. They even share the same cubicle. These guys are the kind of people who don’t care about serious things they are always looking for fun and getting themselves in trouble. It’s so funny how dumb they can be. Each episode is a different story line, so you never know to expect with the next episode. For instance the first episode was about a drug test at their work, the second episode was about going to a baseball game, and the third episode was about somebody breaking into their office at night. So each episode has nothing to do with the next. I like it like that, with this series at least, because you don’t want it to be predicting, and the last thing these guys are is predicting.

Blake is probably the most immature out of the three; he is also the one who does the most drugs. Then there is Anders who is the one that keeps the other two in check, he is always the one telling them it’s a bad idea but does it anyways. And then there is Adam, he is my favorite because he is the funniest; he thinks he’s really good looking and strong but really he is just a total loser. So as you can imagine these three guys are not really up to any good.

This show is pretty inappropriate and I would suggest to anyone under 15 because these guys are a pretty bad influence. The reason why I consider its inappropriate is that the guys use a lot of drugs and alcohol in the show. For instance the third episode was about them on shrooms. So younger people should probably not be watching this, some people might think I’m too young for the show even. I think it’s hilarious and addicting, personally I can’t stop watching it. If you’re in-between the ages of 15 and 25 I imagine you would really like this show and I suggest watching it because I have really enjoyed it so far. (391 words)

Les Miserables


Les Miserables is a famous play and has recently been made into a film. This movie is three hours long and has about 10 words in monologue and the rest is them singing. Even though that doesn’t sound very desirable for a lot of people this movie is AMAZING. I went into the theatre kind of hesitant because that’s all I heard about it but I came out not regretting a second of it.

This movie takes place in France during a war. It starts out with a man who was thrown into jail for years because he stole a piece of bread. He finally got onto parole and tried to get back into life but everywhere he went he had problems with people excepting him. He found his way to a priest’s house and he said he can stay the night but in the middle of the night the man stole gold from the priest. The man was caught the next day and instead of the priest throwing him back in jail he forgave him and told him to do something with the gold and to get back on his feet. That’s exactly what he did; he opened his own business and became a successful man. A few years goes by and he fires a women who works his factory but later figures out that she really needed the job because she was trying to get money for her daughter. The women ends up dying and the man decided to take custody over the daughter name Cosette. More time goes by and Cosette and Jean the man are on a run from the police because the parole officer doesn’t like him and figured out that he’s done more bad. But while there on the run Cosette ran into a man and instantly they both fell in love with each other. But Jean doesn’t want Cosette to fall in love at first and tries to keep them away from each other for their own good.

I won’t spoil the ending. But if you haven’t seen it you really need to because it is absolutely beautiful! & yes I said beautiful that’s how amazing it was! I thought I wouldn’t like all the singing but they brought me to tears, and I’m not an easy crier. Everything about this movie is great. Now I want to see the play on Broadway to see what they do differently, I heard it was even better so I couldn’t even begin to imagine. Ahhhh talking about it just makes me smile(: (428 words)

Olympus Has Fallen

Olympus has Fallen, yes I said it! I just saw this movie last weekend and it was very good. Almost the entire movie I was on the edge of my seat and ready for all the action to happen. If you read my blog then you already know that my top favorite movies are the ones about the world ending or overall really bad things happening to the country, I don’t exactly know why I am so obsessed with these types of movies but they always get me going. The movies always make me think “What If”… so if something terrible truly happened what would we do and at what lengths would we (America) do these things. The movie is basically about the president having a conference at the white house with North Korean officials to talk about foreign trade issues, when suddenly a terrorist attack happens on the white house and surrounding areas of the white house, people become hostages and hostages become heroes. The movie was seriously SO good. It was never boring and the entire time you just were on edge and wanted to know what was going to happen next, and at some points you even get a little teary eyed. My main conclusion to this movie was it was “KICK ASS”. Now, let’s talk about the actors, I mean you have the one and only Gerald Butler oh and you can’t forget Samuel Lee Jackson. They were some of the main characters in the movie and portrayed both of their roles very well and approving. Gerald Butler was the main character to the movie and he is the one that kicked ass, his character was a CIA agent and knew pretty much everything and anything. He also wasn’t that bad to look at the entire movie, but we can talk about that later(: Samuel never seems to let me down with the movies he is in, I have not came upon a movie with in it that I would say I didn’t like, because he is one of best and my personal favorite actors. His role he portrayed in the movie wasn’t that big but he still did a really good job. The movie could not have been played without them and they made it as good as it truly was. I really do not think that anyone can dislike this movie, I would recommend it to anyone that likes action and likes the “World is Ending” type movies. The movie satisfied me and you should definitely get up and go watch it. (Word Count 430)
