    Katy Perry California Dreams Tour Hits Oakland!

    Katy Perry is towards the end of her California Dreams tour and performed on Monday night to a 14,000+ crowd in Oakland, CA. The packed arena was mostly filled with cotton candy eating, cat ear wearing youngsters, although fans of all ages came out to see Katy perform. Most were not disappointed, as Katy’s vocals were stellar, sounding even better live than on her recordings. To this reviewer, the highlight was the unique rendition of her song “I Kissed a Girl.” She started slow and “loungy,” then switched to a faster version in the middle of the song. Her voice was best showcased when she sang a beautiful version of “Thinking Of You”, playing acoustically…

It is not a part of a trilogy; it is a brand new beginning with Selene rising from a twelve year imprisonment to find the world vastly different from the one she last knew. She is in a new world altogether. It is dominated by man and man has discovered the existence of vampire and werewolf and is intent on the eradication of both species. In…

We Bought A Zoo Review: Sweet, Shallow, And Heart Warming

We Bought A Zoo is the latest attempt by Cameron Crowe to pull our heart strings in a way that will have us so overcome by emotion that we forget about the movie we are watching. This man is a master at bringing emotion to the audience. Who can ever forget the words “you complete me” and not just tear up? Crowe makes this true story of a widowed father Benjamin Mee, played by Matt Damon, who takes his children Dylan, played by Colin Ford, and Rosie, played by Maggie Elizabeth Jones, to a dilapidated estate that has a Zoo on it. Of course, Crowe intertwines the saving of this old Zoo with a father…

New Year’s Eve Review: Too Many Stars Kill This Film

New Year’s Eve should have been a powerhouse with a Cast list longer than my arm but too many stars make this film one that will go down in flames. The plot was simple but promising in that it was meant to give us an inside look in the lives of many different characters as they celebrate bringing in the New Year. The problem is that there are so many stories going on at the same time and it ends up looking like a bunch of clips just thrown together. This movie proves that you can’t just throw a huge and diverse assembly of talent on screen to make a great movie. The cast consists…
