Review #4: The Movie: Beastly



Beastly is a modern day movie that is similar to Beauty and the Beast. I have watched this movie before and liked it and its message it had to offer the audiences. After, watching this movie again I gained a better appreciation for the movie. For some reason, I really enjoyed watching it ,and found it to have a great meaning to it. Although, it is similar to Beauty and the Beast ,I enjoyed the way that they made it more of a modern day story. I thought that the characters were well picked for the roles that they played and acted them out well ,and it was not cheesy or bad acting. This is an older movie so I am assuming that a lot people have seen it ,but I am sure there might be some people that have not seen it ,because not everyone sees every movie. I am familiar with two of the actresses that play in this movie ,and I think that is part of why I enjoyed it ,but also because of the other actors and actresses that play in the movie go well with the main characters.

The story line is basically like Beauty and the Beast ,but because it is a modern day and not a cartoon ,it did have a different story line ,it was not exactly like Beauty and the Beast ,which is good because it is called Beastly. This movie is about inner beauty ,and I think everyone can learn something from watching it ,even if they do not want to watch it again or do not enjoy it. It is about someone that thinks he can treat people unkind and treats the wrong person unkind ,and ends up in a situation that forces him to change his behavior towards other people. The situation he gets into forces him to change ,and he even ends up being a better person because of it. In the middle of being forced to change ,and trying to get his life back ,he ends up saving someone else's life in a way that a hospital would not be able to.  It is a struggle at the beginning ,but it soon picks up and gets better for all of the characters. I do not think anyone would be bored watching this because if anyone enjoys Beauty and the Beast and somewhat dark movies ,then they will enjoy watching this movie. I personally enjoy movies that have some kind of meaning to them ,because I feel like it makes them worth watching.

I feel like I cannot say enough good things about this movie ,because it is realistic while being a fantasy and it has a meaning behind it that anyone can relate to or learn from. I think if you have not seen this movie ,then you should watch it sometime ,because it is worth seeing at least once if not more. If you have seen it already ,you should consider watching it again especially if you have not watched it in awhile because it would be like watching it for the first time. I cannot think of anything bad to say about the movie ,and I think that says something positive. Everything about it was well thought out and enjoyable. This movie would not be a waste of time.

Review #3: The Movie: Free Willy



This movie was on Freeform and I recently watched this movie again after not watching it for awhile. I forgot how much I like it ,and how meaningful the message in the movie is. I feel like it has more than one message for its audiences. It is about love, respect, growth, understanding, helping ,and coming together to save a life. This movie is an older movie ,so I assuming that most people have seen it already. There are at least three of them out on DVD now ,and you can even get them in a triple feature set. This movie never gets old to watch ,especially for those who love animals.

While, watching this movie, I realized that it shows the good, the bad and the ugly side of humans. If you have seen the movie ,you know what I am talking about. The movie also shows how animals and humans can have such a great connections with each other ,and in some ways can communicate with each other through actions and vibes. When it comes to communicating with animals ,it is not about the words ,it is mostly about the tone of your voice and the actions you use to go along with it.

The movie also shows that it does not matter how old you are ,or where you are in life or what species you are ,it is never to late to change your life ,and it is never to late to be happy. Although, this is true ,sometimes you need help from others to reach that change or to be happy. I think the end of the movie is the best part because of what happens and because of the music that goes along with it. Although, it was a struggle at the end ,the good people showed the bad people that good is stronger than evil ,and also if you have a connection with something ,anything is possible.

Review #2: Les Brown's Motivation Videos




Have you ever felt like giving up? Have you had problems getting motivated to do more with your life? Do you want to change things but you do not? Do you have people in your life that do not encourage you to do better in life? I know this might sound silly ,but the answer is on Youtube where the motivational videos are. I have been listening to these videos to help me get more motivated to keep going in life ,because sometimes I just need it ,and I think other people would also find it useful to listen to as much or as little as they want to.


These videos include motivational speeches and talks ,along with music ,unless it is a live talk. There are many different kinds of motivational and inspirational videos on Youtube that anyone needing motivation in life to do more can benefit from it if they listen to it religiously and not just brush it off like it does not mean anything. Life is to short to be miserable in life ,so people need to do what they need to do to keep going.


There are many people that speak about motivation on Youtube ,but one of them sticks out to me the most and his name is Les Brown. He seems to be the most motivational speaker on Youtube and other places. His speeches speak to me and others who listen to him. Les Brown's speeches are motivational and realistic. What he says comes from his personal experiences. His speeches also include some humor to make you laugh while you learn different perspectives on life ,and achievements. There is something about his speeches that never get not worth listening to. On Youtube he has speeches and talks about different subjects about life that have anything you need to hear when you are struggling in life.

Review #1: The Movie: Fifty Shades Of Grey


I am going to start by say that I have not read the book yet ,so this is not a comparison between the book and the movie. After, I have heard endless things about this movie, I have finally been able to sit down and watch it. Although, I did know that it was a sexual movie ,I did not know what to expect. I watched it with an open mind. I will be honest and say that I thought the movie started off slow ,but then it picked up a little bit ,and surprised me. I thought the movie had a good story line ,but it was not what I was expecting. I think the movie was made in two different perspectives which came together well. Some parts of the movie were better than others. Some parts made me have bad feelings and some parts made me have some good feelings.

Before, I started watching the movie, I read the description of it ,and I noticed a word that said "control" and that word almost stopped me from watching the movie because I was in a mentally abusive relationship where he wanted to "control" me and everything. As I took a chance and watched it ,I was hoping that the movie was not all about control ,because I was afraid it would bring back memories. While I watched it ,I found that it was partly about "control". I watched it anyway because I wanted to give it a chance ,and I am glad I did ,because now I do not have to wonder why so many people liked the movie. I thought the music that was played in the movie was good ,and went well with the movie.

I am not going to go into too many details about the movie ,because I do not want to spoil it for anyone that has not seen it yet ,and might want to see it someday. I thought the characters were well played ,and the story line was well thought out. I am not sure how relatable it is to people ,I think it just depends on the person. I think some people will like it if they have not seen it yet. I also think that there are some people that might not like it if they have not seen it yet. That also goes for people who have already seen the movie. I think it will bring strong emotions and reactions to people ,and they will either like it or not like it. Either way, I think everyone should give it a chance like I did. I suspect that the sequel to this movie (Fifty Shades Darker) will be just as good.
