Iron Lady

This film is based on the life of Margaret Thatcher played by Meryl Streep. Thatcher was the longest serving Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990. This movie is easily one of the best classics I've seen in a while. Following old Margaret Thatcher, having flashbacks on her life, and the power that has been lost with her aging. She begins to slowly lose her grip on reality which causes her to question, if what she has done as the Prime Minister has been beneficial to the U.K. Going back to her rise to power, and the men that stood in her way, even those that were close to her. The question we all have to ask when we get to a certain age! Have I done enough? This is more so for her, because she ruled as Prime Minister. Meryl Streep's performance has gotten stellar reviews and well needed praise. The way she draws strength from this character is just amazing! Streep has received her 17th Best Actress nomination and won! I actually felt as if I was watching a documentary from Margaret Thatcher's life.

Misfits TV Show

Image
Misfits is a British show that aired in November 2009. It follows young adults who have a history of criminal activity, and are charged with community service. Trough a storm they get super powers, which they have know idea what to do with, so obviously they misuse and abuse their new found powers. Nathan (Robert Sheehan) is the main joker in the situations that this rag tag team finds themselves in. After killing their probation worker (several of them) the show begins to show us what happen in their past, and how it affects their future. Depicting some sexual scenes and a strong plot that definitely carries you till about the 5th season, that's when the switch out the people for a poorly put together cast! Overall, not a bad show oozing with strong dialogue and powerful acting skills! Available for watching on Hulu below: www.hulu.com/misfits‎

The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Miss or Pass

Image
Admit it, we love the man in the blue and red spandex, bringing us wonder-lust and above all hope, but shouldn't the cast live up to the same expectations put forth by the cast in Spider-Man 2 ? I know new people take some getting use too, but Tobey Maguire will always hold a special place in my heart! The movie wasn't different from the others memories of his father, out-of-touch relationship with the girl, and (our favorite part) the villains. I liked how the person he saved would come against him. This cast, what to say, this cast did not give me enough passion and grit. Andrew Garfield's (Peter Parker) performance lacked at times, and didn't leave me wanting to be spider-man, however, he did bring charm to the character. Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) shined through majority of the film, she had her problems, yes!, but overall she is what I imagined Mary Jane to be like, and for this reason, this movie is a pass! Rating: 6/10 http://www.theamazingspiderman.com/site/ ...

Zite

Zite is a new app that allows you to choose exactly what you would like to see. Picking from categories such as pets, fashion, cars, football, technology, and gay,  but this app also breaks down the main categories into sub categories. For example you can have technology and then have a place for apple or android. With the interface and ease of use, this app is just beautiful. The app gives you a clean lay-out close to that of ios seven; with vibrant color which makes it easy to understand/manipulate the controls. Simple, in this case, is the best way to go!  What makes this app better, is absolutely nothing! Getting to the bear nessesity is just of a new app is just amazing, with so many other designers adding-on so many things, they're app loses shine and the appeal to the general population. This app skips all the extras (that comes off as bloat-ware), and puts what is needed in a wonderful app. This app is available, for free, at the Google Play store and iTunes store. ...
