Movie Weekend

Dear reader

As I am very scared of watching like SCARY movies I decided to take the scary down a notch. So, here are my movies for this Movie Weekend. It’s two films that I haven’t seen till now it’s; Monster’s Inc. and Pooh’s Heffalump Halloween Movie. 

Language: English

Country: US
Director: Pete Docter
Producer: Darla K. Anderson

Once upon a door, there was a scare-factory for all the monsters out there to scare small children. Sally and Mike, two friends in the scare-factory suddenly stumbles upon a problem. A little child, curiously, once Sally opens a door and this little child is awake and unafraid of Sally comes out to him. But once this news comes out, the "evil" Randall, the child’s scarer, is out for the child. Follow the adventure of a little child, in Monsters Inc.

This is a great movie for Halloween if you like the theme “mosters”, and it’s for all ages from age 5 and up. It’s a movie of laughter :D I rate this movie a 9/10.

About the movie: If you remember Lumpy, you remember Pooh’s Heffalump Movie, well this is the Halloween edition where Lumpy celebrates Halloween for the first time. But what happens when Tigger gets alarmed by a mysterious figure that he spotted in the woods? A mystery of the dreaded Gobloon arises …

This is also a great movie for Halloween and it’s from the age 3 and up. Which makes me kind of a wimp, I don’t really dare to watch a scary movie or a thriller for that matter. I get scared a lot, and I know that I’m not alone feeling like this. Sometimes things are just too scary to watch. However, this movie is a 8/10 for me. 

Bye for now and hello for later! And soon - Happy Halloween!

Best wishes

Viral Music Video's

What does viral mean?

There are different definitions of the word viral, in real life it means virus but on the internet it is when something is viewed by a very high number of people, which means it is popular. 

What can be viewed in a music video?

In a music video you can see the artists/band sing or/and dance or/and act in front of a camera. 

So, what is a viral music video?

A viral music video is a popular music video. 

Why do we have music videos?

We have music videos mainly for entertainment, but also for advertising for an artist/band. 

Why does people create music videos?

People creates music video's for fun and for publicity, and for the artist/band to become more famous on the internet and for their fanbase. 

In my opinion, I think that viral music video's are great because then parodies are made of them and it is pretty fun to watch things like parodies happen. Maybe not always for the artist but for the sake of publicity it's fine. Here are some of my favourite viral music video's with their parodies:

Anaconda, Nicki Minaj - Anaconda, Bart Baker

Gangnam Style, Psy - Kim Jong Style, The Key of Awesome

Tik Tok, KeSha - Tik Tok, The Key Awesome

Well, bye for now and hello for later!

The movie is about a girl named Anna whom’s older sister named Kate that has cancer. Anna has to help Kate to survive her cancer with giving Kate her body parts. BUT Anna whom is a mature girl makes the decision that her parents no loger should do this to her (donating her body parts) because of her right of her own body. So the story goes…

For me this is a good movie that shows that any voice can be heard and that cancer is not only a struggle for the person having it but for other’s as well. This leaves me at a 9/10 for me.

Hazel Grace Lancaster is a 16 year old girl who has cancer and is forced by her parents to attend a support group, there she meets and later falls in love with Augustus Waters. This is their story. 

This movie made me cry a lot but also realise that though the struggle great pleasure and pain comes with it. I give this movie a 10/10, brilliant movie. 

Hope you enjoyed a little light reading, sorry for the texts being so short, it's sometimes hard to write about something so emotional. I dedicate this Movie Weekend to this cancer awareness month <3

Bye for now and hello for later!
