Three Days Grace is every Rock music lovers favorite. And this album definetely didn't dissapoint this band's long awaiting fans. Personally, I enjoyed everything about this album except for I thought that some of the songs were slightly repetitive. And by that i mean that they sound really similar. But other than that, this is a great listen!

Rating: Didn't like it


Cascada is alright; and this album was okay. She isn't very creative or original. Not to mention, not a very good role model. These songs on this album are just average pop songs that might be okay dance songs. If you are looking for something new and different, this album isn't what you are looking for.

Kate Voegele definetely has unique talent. These thirteen tracks are all different and great in their own way. My personal favorite is "Facing Up". Kate Voegele's songs are the type that will make you think and they are songs that everyone can relate to. This is a great album to lay back and listen to on a free weekend!

Wow! This was a great movie, and worth the wait! The plotline wasn't a typical romance movie because it was really original. The actors were great and did very well. The ending wasn't the best and could have been better; however. I will definitely check out the book also.


Recommended to: Everyone! I think Twilight fans and Notebook fans will love this.

I saw the movie in RealD 3D and it was so awesome! I thought it was better than "Titanic", well, at least the action and epic scenes. The graphics, special effects, and the CGI work was killer. It was worth waiting a year to watch it (I heard about this movie in Jan 2009). James Cameron spent around ten years making this movie, creating the story and the graphics. Because of his massive payday from "Titanic", he was able to make this movie. He just waited for technology to catch up with this. As I heard from many magazines, "Avatar" might surpass "Titanic" for box-office record. And who knows how "Avatar" will do at the Oscars? It did take home 5 Golden Globes. And probably one of the rare, movies with no franchise, new actors, and has a tree-hugging theme that will succeed in the box-office.

Involves some romance, some fighting, tree-hugging themes, cool graphics,unique animals on a unique surrounding, disagreements, etc., etc. In many ways, kind of like Pocahontas. The earthlings are kind of like how the US are to Iraq (Pandora) The plot is interesting and is hard to put into a summary so I suggest that you go and see the movie.
