If you are a die hard fan of the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, this new production being added to Peter Jacksons collection will be an absolute delight to you. Though it has not yet been released, it is yet another part to the Lord Of The Rings storyline and should been considered as wonderful as the last three. You can watch its trailer here: Hobbit Trailer or you can browse trailer ratings on Rotten Tomatoes instead. Either way, you will not be disappointed by this new addition to the great trilogy behind it.

Summary 

Bilbo Baggins is swept into a quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever; Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities.

When people hear the name Axl Rose they immediately result in calling him horrid names because of everything they hear and/or read. The media enjoy twisting everything they get their hands on to make unfortunate people look like complete lunatics.

Axl may have the odd outburst here and there but who doesn't? Are we actually going to gun him down with harsh words just because his actions are always on camera thanks to the media who just love following celebrities around to get juicy gossip and catch things they should not?

Mr.Rose has been seen in a bad light over the years because as the media claim repeatedly; he has severe anger issues. It annoys me to hell and back that people are still so vulnerable toward what the media tells them and they seem to believe anything whether it's true or not.

In my eyes, mainly because I'm not blinded by the hatred that goes hand in hand with money craving, in control of entertainment news, arrogant reporters and journalists, Axl is a good man. I've always had the same opinion regarding him, no matter what I read or hear. We don't know the full story behind any of the claims so we can't point the finger automatically as most do. Leave Axl alone.. he's done nothing wrong.. and he's better than all of these attention seeking media whores put together. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even though my latest post was also about this man I feel I could have elaborated a lot more as many people still feel the media are correct in portraying him as a horrible, arrogant and selfish person. If it isn't clear I disagree on all accounts that suggest this is so, I'm going to make it clear now.

If you enjoy reading and listening to what the media produce then more fool you. There is a difference between having your own opinion and simply using other opinions to form your own. In no way can we tell exactly what anyone is like behind closed doors, but one thing we cannot do is judge those we know next to nothing about. That is all I ever see regarding Axl Rose and it's completely unfair on him. Would you like going about your life knowing there are thousands of people out there who have this undying hatred toward you simply because they picked up a newpaper and read a piece of fiction? No, I don't believe you would.

Luckily enough there are still die hard fans who will defend their favourite celebrities and rightly so. I can admit that I'm one of them as there's a quote that has been lingering for a while as it seems to convey what a fan really is. An attack on my idol is an attack on myself. To me and many others this statement rings true and I like to use it everywhere I can.

Some people would now like to believe that those who admire and adore certain celebrities that much must be completely mental and have no life. This is also untrue. When you find reasons to like another person it doesn't suggest that your entire life revolves around them, unless of course you would like it to as is the case with some relationships. Admiring a celebrity for what they do and who they are is more than acceptable as plenty of people out there act the same towards those who are not of fame and fortune. What difference does it make just because they are known all over the universe? It makes no difference at all.

I can't count the number of times I have gone over all of these factors but it does become highly frustrating. To know there are incredibly stubborn people out there who refuse to accept the way some people act toward celebrities is ridiculous. It's almost like a religion. They practically live by everything the media tells them and not once do they think to examine the claims in order to express their own thoughts and opinions on whatever junk they decide to publish. I have yet to meet anyone genuine who is in some way connected to the media, it seems they are all out for money and that's that.

Why Axl? one of the most disliked celebrities in the world thanks to all the crap that's printed about him. They also had a good laugh poking fun at Michael Jackson for many years of his life because he was different. In all honesty, what kind of thrills do they receive from doing all this to innocent people? The only answer I can come up with, again, is money. They print false stories about perfectly innocent people merely to pay the bills and off they go to the bank with a satisfied smile on their faces. But how long will that happiness last when you compare time and money? You have to understand that eventually, the guilt is going to build up until it is too much to bear, then what happens? You regret everything.

No one is ever truly rewarded for being a fool or an inconsiderate, dumb human being. Perhaps they get all they want right now, but years down the line it all goes to shit. I just wanted to give my thoughts on the matter, defending Axl Rose is something I enjoy doing as I have the grounds and information I need in order to be successful with it. 

If you are a movie lover and don't have the time or patience you usually would to look into official movie trailers or reviews; Rotten Tomatoes is your next best bet. With a limited amount of time, or if you simply want to know what others said about a particular movie you are about to watch or have already watched, give Rotten Tomatoes a visit and browse through their endless lists of movie trailers, reviews and ratings. It helps sometimes to read more than one review to get a fair idea of whether or not a certain movie is worth your time. 

Also remember to check the rating height whilst you are looking through reviews. If the bar is above 50% and the icon is a tomato, it is worth watching. However, if the bar is under 50% and the icon is a green splodge, don't even waste your time with that movie. Unless of course you are daring our simply out for a laugh, feel free to give it a test run just to see how truly awful it is. Keep in mind that not everyone who reviews and rates the movies featured on that site know exactly what they are talking about. What may come across as a terrible movie to one person, could be blockbuster worthy to someone else. You won't know for sure until you have given it a watch, but if its trailer is bad and the majority of its ratings and reviews don't shout about it, it would be best to just give it a miss.

If you're someone who is knew to the online movie reviews and have not yet found your merry little way to this website, here: Rotten Tomatoes - and have a blast while you're there. You can also join to leave your own verdicts on movies you think are great, or those you think should never have been released.

This is a very charming and engaging movie to watch if you're a fan of stage play themes. Perhaps its director could have written a better script, but in all fairness, Goldie and Edward had fabulous chemistry and that makes it worthwhile. Both stars had fun loving roles as Jill and Don and through the course of the movie we learn how love is patient and understanding. Though at first our lead female is a little unsure of how deep a relationship she wants to get caught up in, her like for our lead male conquers all of her doubts. 

If you are interested in watching young and talented actors in their earlier movies to get a grasp of how they shot to stardom, this is the perfect type of movie to watch. Not only are both young stars brilliant at what they do, but they are also quite a delight to look at. It's a mix of near enough every genre and doesn't allow you once to soak in the epic or uncertain scenes in which our characters fall into a pit of despair or everlasting love takes over their emotions. In memory of Edward Albert; our beloved Don Baker, go and watch this movie!

As a writer, it can often be difficult to find the topic that is going to interest your readers, as much as it is going to interest you whilst writing about it. Many writers, no matter their area of expertise, will sometimes struggle to find inspiration and thus become highly frustrated and go days, weeks or even months at a time delaying what they in fact should have written, without problems. There are strangely quite a few people out there who don't believe in the term writers block and think it is just an excuse made by writers in order for them to postpone working and focus on other aspects of their lives instead. If you feel you are currently having trouble finding the right form of inspiration to get your creative juices flowing, browse through the list below, there's bound to be something that will be of use to you and your lost in a maze creativeness!

News Sites

This is one of the best ways to gain a whole load of traffic toward your blog or website, especially if you are a writer who focuses on Journalism. It is also a great start if you're looking for inspiration to begin writing your article, story, poem or other forms of the profession. There are thousands of news sites all over the web, all you have to do is browse the one's that fit into the category you're wanting to broadcast in your own words and you're off. Your best bets for regularly updated news headlines are Google News, Yahoo News, CNN News and ABC News.

Media

If you're someone who enjoys all forms of entertainment then this is definitely your first stop, you'll have more ideas than you can handle following this one through. Whether you enjoy watching a movie, a tv show or you find interest in listening to your favourite artist, you can surely find the right inspiration through one of those, if not all at the same time. The best place to visit would be Youtube if you want to try and find that soap, movie or track. There are many other options of which sites work for you when it comes to media related activities, but you can't fail with youtube.

Peers

If you have friends or people around you who also share an interest in or like for writing, why not ask to view some of their work to inspire your own. There could be endless possibilities and a fantastic outcome if your brain notices something it likes through anothers writing, that spark or lightbulb is merely moments away if you opt for this method. Give it a try, even if you don't know many people who share your interests, there are a whole load of websites you could join to find those people. If you are a poet I would recommend Writers Network, if you are more of a novelist I would recommend Story Write, or if you simply spend your time writing articles I'd recommend one or all of the following: HubPages, Helium, Triond, Squidoo and Article Income.

Take A Break

If you just feel drained and unable to write anything at all, even without inspiration, the only thing left for you to do is take a well deserved break, because let's be honest, you clearly need one. Nothing in relation to writing should disturb this break otherwise you'll never wish to proceed with your job or hobby ever again. Just find an activity you enjoy that will ease your mind of all stress and worry! You'll be back on the road to writing in no time.

If, like me, you are dedicating almost all of your free time online toward browsing for the most genuine and realistic ways in which you can start earning a decent income through what you know best, now is the time to stop. Weigh up all of your options and make a list of the things you know you might be able to succeed with and try each of them out as though you are trying out a new pair of shoes. If they fit, you are on your way toward earning online, if they don't, place them back on the shelf and keep on searching.

The truth is, you are bound to come across something you're good at sooner or later, even though most people would prefer their natural gifts and hard earned money to come along sooner, earning online is never going to give you that. I have been trying desperately to find something I'm certain will give me success, but as of yet I have been unable to find anything. One thing is absolutely clear however and following this rule is the only way you are guaranteed to get far, never give up. Understand that through all of your hard work and determination, you will eventually get something back for your efforts no matter how long it may take. Try not to dwell too much on how little you're receiving and think about the possible outcome.

Those of us who get frustrated with constant failing are those who are more likely to wind up quitting than those of us who are focused on gaining a potential income. The key to success in earning online is to be consistent and patient, then of course just keep working toward your goal. Eventually you are going to reach it and from that point on your stress will leave you alone, you then know what works and what doesn't work, the methods you find easiest and the methods you find most difficult. Experiment with all kinds of online tips and tricks until you find solace in something that makes you happy. Remember, never give up and never back down, especially if what you have found is difficult but you are achieving something because of it. Learning too is part of the road toward success, to know your strengths and your weaknesses is to know yourself and what you are and aren't capable of.

Unbeknown to thousands of people who enjoy watching Disney movies, even if it is just with their children or to remember their own childhood days, near enough every one of them is motherless. If you read up on Walt Disney and come across a story about an accident that occured in his mothers home, you will understand the possible cause as to why he saw fit to make half his characters orphans. Now, not all of them were orphans of course, they had fathers as well, but losing a parent in general is overly devastating. Try to imagine if you will what your life would have been like, or what it would be like now if you had lost, or lose one of your parents after knowing only that they are supposed to be together. After being so used to having them both in one place and thinking that is how the world works.

When you are a child, this is your state of mind. You know no other way and so losing one parent, under all types of circumstances, is a huge shock and has a tremendous effect on the rest of your life. This is usually only if the child is old enough to understand, but young enough to feel threatened and lost because of it at the same time. Just thinking about this fact would make many shudder and hope that it never happens to them. It makes one wonder, the children who grew up watching Disney movies must have asked multiple questions in regard to half of their favourite characters not having a mother around for very long, or being born and not knowing their mother. Inside a childs mind there are many things to understand, but to do so would take a very long time as there are very diverse things spinning around their heads all at once. One thing is for certain though, if you knew not what you know now, would you allow your children to watch these movies knowing you would have to make up a story about why those animated children have a broken home? Or if you are older and wiser after watching those movies, what was your reaction to finding out such information?

There are more than enough reasons why some parents don't approve of Disney movies for younger children and rightly so. Half of them put forth the wrong messages depending on how a child interprets what is actually happening. If your child starts asking questions, you had better hurry and find the most appropriate answers.

One of the most inspirational and touching movies of all time with unforgettable quotes and characters. There is but one quote in particular that I would like to focus on for the completion of this post and that is as follows:

"They're not that different from you, are they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you, their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? - - Carpe - - hear it? - - Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary." 

I'm sure everyone knows exactly what the meaning is behind such a phrase as Carpe Diem, but if you don't then pay attention. Carpe Diem is another way of saying Seize The Day and by right, everyone should have such passion through everything they come across in life. To have the power to stride through anything, both joys and obstacles by repeating this phrase either silently to yourself or out loud for the world around you to hear, is something that will take you far. 

In this movie, this wonderful teacher had the miracle idea to use such words and phrases to urge his classroom of uninterested teenage boys toward achieving their dreams. The goal was that if you have a dream then you go for it, no matter what. Never allow anyone to tell you that you cannot reach it and never let anyone stand in your way of what makes you, you. 

After watching this movie multiple times and being inspired repeatedly by these words alone, it makes you feel worth something. It makes you feel as though your passion in life, what you know you're good at and what you hope to be even better at, is worth your time and energy. Although the terrible fate of one character throughout the movie can knock all those previous thoughts of running ahead for what you believe in, it's importance and truth cannot be denied and will forever remain one of the most inspirational lines in movie history. 

If you have not seen Dead Poets Society, I suggest you consider purchasing it's magnificence, or at least rent a copy or find it somewhere online. It does not matter where or how you watch it, it's something you cannot miss and in your lifetime, it has to be watched. I would recommend watching it's trailer first of all to get a feel of what you're preparing yourself for. Although the movie is incredibly inspirational and filled with guidance for those of us who don't wish or try hard enough to make our lives happy ones, it's also tragic and unforgiving.

There are thousands of inspirational quotes out there, many we like and many we dislike. Not all quotes are as inspirational as one might wish to believe, yet there are plenty in which we can depend on through the everchanging journey of our lives. Everyone has a few favourite quotes they like to refer to in times of struggle and need, when the world is getting you down and you need a pick-me-up, there is always something around the corner waiting to inspire you. If you take this Disney quote as an example, what do you think he means? If you are already someone who has a positive outlook on life, you will understand that anything is possible, if you try. However, if you are someone who holds negative views on everything involved in life, you will not assume you could succeed even if you do try. Perhaps this is true, perhaps even those who do try somehow manage to fail regardless, but the point still remains that they tried. If you lounge about and think everything will be handed to you in good time, you are very wrong. Those who do not put in a little effort toward achieving their goals will not receive the beauty of succeeding in them.

Consider this quote carefully, bookmark this post or save the image if you will. Think about all the possible meanings it could have and use it as your inspiration the next time you need a helping hand. There are plenty of us who struggle sometimes, whether it's making decisions and choosing the right path, or simply needing that extra boost to help us along. Just turn to your favourite quote and you will be surprised at the ideas it sets off inside your head. Many times has this worked and many times has it failed, but if you don't try, you will never ever know.

Most people know that in order to begin a journey of any kind, we must first take a single step toward reaching our destination. This inspirational quote does not suggest anything less than that. If you wish to begin some form of journey, whether it be small or large in size, you must first realise that in order to achieve success, you have to put in a bit of effort. This would be similar to driving, in order to get the car moving, you have to turn on the ignition before the wheels in turn pull the car along. No matter what you are hoping for through this journey, if you fail to take the first step, you will not get very far and will most likely end up failing because you did not even try. As with our previous post about dreams, anything is possible if you give it your guidance.

When someone is in need of a shoulder to cry on or someone is struggling with something they know they cannot do, do you offer a helping hand? There are many ways in which we can explain clearly what this quote means, but those are just a few. If you find this one to be a poor description or you wish to expand on it's possible meanings, do an online search to fully understand what is required for a typical journey. Just remember that your journey could be anything in the world you want it to be, it could take you to the other side of the world, or it could help you cross the road. Wherever your journey begins, don't forget to take the first step, it will make it easier for you.

When you think about time, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Recently, I have been reading more about those who view time as entirely precious and wasting even a single moment is a danger to our soul. I'm in agreement, I have to say. When you consider those around you whom you love dearly, especially those you do not have the pleasure of spending time with as often as you would like, what does time mean to you then? Think about all of the times you have procrastinated, when it concerns loved ones. 

It is such a shame that we cannot develop our very own Neverland, a place for children and adults alike to spend forever with each other and never have to worry about growing up. This would be the perfect solution for those of us who are focused on something entirely different at the wrong time, a time when we desperately need to spend said moments with those who mean the most to us. In Neverland, if it exists (I'm a believer, are you?) I think that we would all benefit from making the wrong choices. No matter what we decide at any particular moment, there will always be time for it afterwards, because in Neverland, time does not truly exist. It is but a myth and therefore we would have nothing to worry about. Ask yourself this question and be more than honest, could you spend more of your time with those around you when it is supposed to happen? Or are you someone who puts things off till a later date and wonders why on earth you made such a decision? If this bothers you on a regular basis, it's time you did something about it. 

Imagine that we do live in a world called Neverland. Imagine that we have all of the time in the world, time to do the things we want to do after we have done what is most important. Make family, friends and all your loved ones a priority in your life. You never know how long it may be until you get to see them again.

So many of us have forgotten how to appreciate the less obvious things in life, such as every single thing on a list of what you know you love. This can vary depending on the type of person you are, but here are a few to give you some ideas:

The above list are a few examples of what we experience at least a few times throughout our lives, yet we never really pay enough attention. We are missing out on the little things that add up and make life special, the things that we see as barely anything, but they are quite the opposite. If you have your very own list of the little things in life that make you happy, please share in the comments! :]

I often find myself taking hours just to come up with that perfect first line for a story; it's sometimes even harder than actually writing the story itself and that is never a good thing. I've always believed, as many other writers, the best way to grab your readers attention is to have encouraged to read on. This means you'll have to come up with a first line that lingers in their minds and makes them immediately want to know more.

Over the last few months especially I have been having problems with choosing starters straight away; it can take me up to an hour as I mentioned above. If you too have these issues with your writing, take a look at the examples below and see if they spark any ideas for you.

8. Not being one to turn down such an offer, he grabbed the last ticket on sale and raced into the arena.  

9. Silence filled the surrounding area and all they could think of was to turn around and go back the way they came, through the chilling dark forest.

10. Memories of her past life flashed through her mind and had her wondering what if time travel was really possible.

The above ideas are first lines I created for my very first blog post and I hope they inspire and encourage you along your writing journey.

Only through an open mind and a calm and relaxed way of life can we hope to see the true beauty in life. It is often the smallest details we overlook most that are the ones we should be focusing our full attention on. What matter of beauty lies within such morbid and miserable ignorance that some hope to see themselves through their entire lives with, I will never understand. 

When we are happy and content enough within ourselves and the world around us, we can look upon such beautiful details and smile. We so often pass by the likes of flowers such as this one on the left and wonder why there isn't anything special going on in our lives. Well, this is the answer to your question I believe. Be more in tune with your surroundings and learn to appreciate what is already here, not what you seem to want in your life so badly. A want is not something we should dwell on as the process leading up to it can often prevent you from seeing all of the wonderful things you already have. Are you someone who misses the divine beauty in everything? Or are you someone who captures every single essence?

Do you have faith?

Are you someone who has constant faith, or is your faith sometimes abandoned depending on the situation you find yourself dealing with? Whilst I believe everyone should have faith all of the time, it can not be so simple when we find ourselves struggling to trust certain people or actions that we come across in life.

Learning to have faith in someone or something is allowing yourself the freedom to do or say anything in relation to this person, action, object or desire, without having to worry over the outcome. Some will still worry over the end results, fearing what may happen afterwards, but having faith is the first step toward releasing yourself from the bonds of paranoia.

Can you imagine, or have you ever imagined, how carefree our lives would be and how much happier we would become, if we had a little more faith? It's something I have been working on as of late and thus far the results have proven it to be wonderful. Try to have a little more faith in everything you do, the world around you and those you care about. Even those you do not know or situations you would not dare enter willingly, you'll be surprised by the effects.
