The Hobbit


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.

The Real Axl Rose

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. 

Rotten Tomatoes

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.

Butterflies Are Free


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!

What Boosts Your Creativity?

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.

The Truth About Online Income

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.

Walt Disney & Motherless Movies

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.
