Nicole Alyse

To put it plainly, she's the most gorgeous blogger out there. She has a tumblr at http://nicolealyse.tumblr.com and she posts everything from fashion to her life to music. She also updates it quite often which is unusual for a blogger once they reach a certain point, so it's always nice.

Chloë Grace Moretz

This picture is from who knows where, I found it on Tumblr. But as you can see, she is growing up very well; getting more gorgeous each day. Not to sound creepy, but she's hot! Haha, she really is, she has a great body for a 14-year-old. Can you believe it? And she wears clothes that compliments it, so that's always better. I just can't wait to see her in other movies. She's such an extraordinary actress! Also, if you haven't seen 'Let Me In' yet, see it now. Rent the dvd. It is way too good. It's based off a version from another country I think, but this one's better, I bet :)

This picture is from a music video she was in for Best Coast called 'Our Deal'. It's a really great song depsite the music video, so go listen! She falls in love with Tyler Posey who plays Lucky, one of the Day Trotters. She plays Veronica, a Night Creeper. It's a classic Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story type of deal. Just modern with Best Coast playing. They're all good actors in this music video, playing out a tragic love story with gangs and cute clothes. Included in this star cast is Shailene Woodley who's on Secret Life of the American Teenager, Donald Glover on Community, Alia Shawkat from The Runaways, and Miranda Cosgrove from iCarly. I loved this music video, it's so great. And the good thing about music videos that don't typically have the actual band in it, but they play out a story line like this, makes it better to watch.

Across the Universe

 DON'T READ. I'VE NEVER SEEN IT. This is going to be about the music. I am planning to see it very soon, though. This movie was actually the beginning of my obsession with The Beatles. The first version of the song 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' was by T.V. Carpio, who plays Prudence in the movie, which is from the song 'Dear Prudence'. When I heard that version I immediately went to listen to the original and fell in love. I listened to almost all of the albums non stop afterwards and was, what you could call, sick with insanity. For them, of course. My favorite at the moment is still Abbey Road, but I'm favoring the White album a little more now. Anyway, Across the Universe for me song wise, has to be just spectacular. I haven't even seen the whole movie and I already can plainly see that the characters are picked out so perfectly. Everyone's perfect for the character the play, and I just love the fact that they're all named after a Beatles' song! I just love that. The only songs I like in the movie that I like a tad bit for than the originals, are the mashup of Flying/Blue Jay Way/I am the Walrus. That song and the scene it has just epitomizes the LSD and mind altering drugs they experimented in that time. I love how they showed it; making everything all trippy. It's exactly how they saw it! The other is It Won't Be Long sung by Evan Rachel Wood who plays Lucy. I haven't heard the original of that one yet, because I'm honestly too lazy to look it up. The last one is Because. Now, I love them both equally, but both for different reasons. The ATU version is sung more sing-y, if you get me. It's just contains a little more vocalization throughout, which is just beautiful, along with their harmonies. The Beatles' harmony in the original version took me too, because it's just so great. Harmonies always get me.
So, I know people probably won't read this, but it was fun putting my new obsession for the songs in this movie into blog form :)

Hippies, Woodstock, The Beatles, 60s & 70s.

No words can express how bad I wish I was born then.

Soul Surfer

Soul Surfer stars AnnaSophia Robb, Dennis Quaid, and Helen Hunt. It also includes Lorraine Nichols, Jack Nichols daughter, and Carrie Underwood who we all know as American Idol winner, and country singer.
This is the real life story of Bethany Hamilton, a surfer who got her arm taken by a shark in a tragic accident. But more good came out then bad from losing her arm. AnnaSophia Robb portrays Bethany Hamilton in this movie, and may I say she did a great great job. It made me cry! Or tear up :) I saw it twice with my sister, and it's just one of the best movies I've seen this year. My immense love for AnnaSophia was resurfaced after seeing this movie. It's on on DVD today, actually! I'm gonna get it :D

The term 'soul surfer' is the title of the movie and the book Bethany Hamilton
wrote years ago, but the 'soul' part of it also refers to their familys faith in
Jesus Christ. They are Christians, so that was a huge part of the movie.
AnnaSophia and Lorraine, who played the childhood best friend were shown
at youth church, their whole family at church, and on a mission trip. They
read the Bible and quoted scriptures in the movie, too. I think it's great that
they did that, or made it evident in the movie. Bethany Hamilton and her
family wanted their faith to be characterized in the movie because it's
what really went on! They weren't just gonna not do something. If you're
gonna do something, do it right, ya know? :)

This Love by Planetshakers, an Australian band. Christian band. I'm a devout Christian, just trying my best through God to use me. I'm just making mistakes a lot, trying to get back on track now. I think I'm doing well. I'm praying for him to just bless me and use me, so that'll help.

They played this song at my church, Calvary this previous Sunday. I love it! My mom said it reminds her of a modern day Beatles song, and I definitely agree. She knows the Beatles are one of my favorite oldies bands. So it made me even happier! I just love this song so, so much.

Hey hey I'm in love with You/
I'm sold out for You/
You are everything to me!

Hey hey I believe in You/
Lord I know that no one/
Can take this love away/
I'm gonna praise You everyday!

Just a little snippet of my favorite part of the song. You just get to really sing out and it's amazing. Personally, I think the reason I love this song so much is because it literally expresses what Jesus means to me. I'm in love with him, I'm sold out for Him, He's everything to me. I believe in Him, no one can take His love away. It's all true. :)
