Review: I Am Number Four Movie

TRIPLE POST DAY!

I've really been behind on my reviews.  I guess that'll be something I'll focus on when I come back from my blogging break.

In case, you didn't know, the movie is based of a book.  I haven't read it yet, but seeing the movie makes me want to.

It's not you typical alien movie, where strange looking creatures arrive to abduct or kill the human race. These aliens look like us and actually came here for survival.  However, there are evil aliens, who destroyed their enemies home planet, and are hunting the good aliens to extinction. 

It's a fascinating premise.  And the main character, John Smith, couldn't get any less hotter.  Like any movie, there were some logical holes in the plot, which bothered me.  But I like everything to fit together and make sense.  It wasn't totally noticeable, so don't let that hinder you from seeing this movie.   I glanced at the book plot and there are some things left out, but what do you expect out with a book-to--movie movie?  They just can't put everything thing in an hour and a half show.

The effects were fantastic! It's amazing what movie people can do with effects nowadays.

Characters were average.  Same old, same old acting.  No one wowed me. Though I'm glad Pettyfer fixed the glitches in his American accent.  Seeing the 2 min. Beastly trailer, you can tell its a struggle for him to hid his English accent. Oh and I do want to point out there are no brunettes (not counting extras) in this movie.  That's a let down. :(

Overall, it was a good movie.  Nothing wowed me too much, excepted the effects.  Good stunt work.  Predictable plot.  But a fun movie anyway. Expect a sequel. 

Do I recommend this movie? Yes

TRIPLE POST DAY!

This has been looong overdue, and I'm making time right now to do this and that movie review I promised. 

Also, before we get started, I've been debating this for a while, but I'm going to take an indefinite break.  I promise I've not given up on That's What She Said! I just need some time to gather up some ideas and prioritize on other things right now.  I'm not sad at the least, I'm actually in a good place.

So enough of my blabbering (we'll save that for a later time.) Let's get started!
-----------------

Firstly, if you haven't read this post: The Basics: Prepping The Face + Make Up Primer please do so now.  There's a lot of information about keeping the face clean and oil-free, if that is the kind of answer you're looking for.

If that's not enough, here is the little info I know about "blackheads, acne, and etc."

Blackheads, whiteheads, pimples or whatever you want to call them are basically created the same way: build up of dirt, grim, and oil in the pores. The only difference between all of these facial blemishes is the way in which to you treat them.

Blackheads and whiteheads are more deep set in the skin.  Meaning it's harder to get rid of them.  The only way I know how to get rid of mine are pore strips. The downfall of using these are that the oils you just pulled up leave some oozing which can spread over to other areas of your skin, allowing more blackheads/whiteheads to develop. To avoid this: 1) wash your face as usual 2) use the pore strip as instructed 3) apply an acne gel (no creams!)

Gels tend to dry faster and don't produce much oil on your skin.  Only do this once a week. 

Pimples are more of a surface blemish.  They aren't as deep set nor as hard to get rid as blackhead--though on rare occasions then can be.  With regular pimples let them run their course.  That is the hardest thing to do.  Many people say to pop them, but that actually does more damage than not. If you have a really bad pimple, one that is large, red and hurts a lot, there are 2 options.  Zeno, a device that heats up the blemish to progress its development stage to get rid of it faster, or the home remedy trick.  Here's how it works: 1) wash your face like normal 2) ice the spot for twenty minutes 3) wet a cotton swab with lemon juice and hold it on that spot for 5 additional minutes

You'll definitely see results the following morning. I swear this works. ;)

Hmm, and yeah I think that's it.. I can't think of any more advice to give.  If you have any questions, comment, email, or formspring me. 

Adios, and good luck!

Don't Do It. Just Don't.

It's truly not worth taking your own life.  Please please understand that.  I know, at times, we have that thought pop into our minds.  And maybe we have that thought that we might actually go through with it.

This is me telling you to stop and think harder.

Who are you going to effect?
Are you really making life for everyone else around you better or happier?
By killing yourself, will that really make all your worries go away?

It's weak. It's dumb.  It's insensitive to the ones you love.  You have no idea how much you mean to someone else.  You could be their world.  The one person they live for.  And to do something so toxic is just disgusting to me.  There are better ways of dealing with your problems.  Pushing away everyone else and trying to hold things that really bother you is not healthy. 

So don't try anything dumb.

I've use to know only one person who killed themselves, now I know two.

You broke her heart.  You were the only one she had close to a father. 

I hope it was worth it.
