Being lazy and releasing my inner Gleekdom...
This week, I've decided to be very, VERY lazy. So I just whipped some songs together and made the podcast short and sweet.
Songs that are included are:
1) For The First Time - The Script
2) Animal - The Warbler (from Glee)
3) The Lazy Song - Bruno Mars
4) Country Girl - Luke Bryan
5) #SingforJapan - My Chemical Romance
*Just a note about the last song... It's an acoustic version of the "Sing" song with an opening representing Japanese Culture. Proceeds from the song go towards helping Japan. So log onto iTunes and purchase the song!

What's My "All-Time" Favorite Movie? Twister!
We're expecting storms here tomorrow, so you can imagine how excited I am right about now!
Anyways, here's the embedded movie below. I hope you enjoy. I'm pretty sure most of you have already seen the movie; if not, then shame on you.
Till next time.
SCRE4M: A Great Thriller
I walk into the theaters already worried that the original cast will be killed off. The movie opens with scenes from "Stab 6" & "7" and ending with two local high-school victims stabbed to death in Woodsboro. This happens the night before Sidney returns to her hometown... So is she the killer? That was my first thought. The film didn't waste any time getting into the chaos. Instantly, Sidney is thrown into the mix when evidence from the brutal murders the night before ends up in the trunk of her car... Taking this as a warning, she starts to fear for her life and those of her Aunt and younger cousin (new characters introduced in '4'). Her cousin, played by Emma Roberts, then receives a call from the killer, which then in return, forces the Sheriff (Dewey) to order a protective detail on Sidney's family... As you can assume, this "protection" was virtually ineffective.
This is about as much of the story as I'll give... I'm not one to give a way the plots and endings... so to tell you what you may want to know, the movie introduces a whole slew of new characters (Emma Robert's friends) as a new generation. Sidney, Dewey, & Gale all are all in the movie as well and are confronted with the masked killer, but the whole movie plays upon the notion "Do you f*ck with the originals?" As Sidney asks ghostface in the movie "Do you have the guts?"... this was the basic theme of my night... I didn't care about the new kids- I cared about the original cast. I knew it was a possibility they may get killed off, so I was on the edge of my seat the whole time wondering if Wes Craven (Director) was going to allow the main characters to be slaughtered.
So do they get killed? And who's the killer? You'll just have to go see the movie. One question I can answer: Is it worth watching? Absolutely. You may have watched all three other movies and realized how "sucky" the last one may have been... well, the fourth installment is probably almost as good as the original, in my opinion. It may not have been that great if it was the first of the series... but because it was the fourth movie, I believe the intentions of the film were mostly for the fans- making it gut-wrenching and nail-biting as ever.
So, if you liked the first Scream, then you'll definitely like the 4th. And be prepared for your socks to be knocked off, because there are some pretty huge shockers (I won't tell). And as the only spoiler of the night: Scream 5 has already been contracted... so maybe we'll see more of our favorite characters... or just more of the new ones... :) You'll just have to go see it!So, what should I rate the movie... on Flixter, I gave the movie 4 out of 5 stars, so I'll stick with that. Hope you go see it, and hope you enjoy it.
Till next time.
Scream: I wish I was this artistic!
I was bored the other night, so I decided to browse some photos on DeviantArt... and I came across these. The movie posters are all fan-made, at least I'm pretty sure they are all fan-made! I hope you like them- I thought they were really, really, really good! Some of these definitely should be hanging up in the theaters for Scream 4!
Scream 3
Till next time.
Podcast: Scream Music To "Die" For
This week, I've included 4 songs from each of the 4 Scream films. Yes, even Scream 4. It comes to theaters next Friday, April 15, so be sure to go see it. There is one thing I noticed on this episode especially, which is a "text-book" no-no: I've said "Um" way too many times. Hopefully you can listen past that- the music is really good.
Here are the songs featured on this week's episode:
1) Don't Fear The Reaper - Gus
2) She Said - Collective Soul
3) What If - Creed
4) Something To Die For - The Sounds
Scream 2: A necessary sequel.
Below, I have embedded Scream 2. Just a few words about this film: Don't expect it to be as good as the first. It's a great sequel no doubt, but whenever you mix college kids with horror, the atmosphere or "aesthetic" of the movie turns more to stupidity. Nevertheless, I love the movie, and I'm sure you'll like it as well (if you can get past the girls running UP the stairs instead of out the door for help).
Till next time.
Episode 13 - It's feeling like summer!
On this episode, I've posted new music from the past week... and I even feature music by Grey's Anatomy star, Sara Ramirez (also known as Callie Torez).

Here's the music that was featured on Episode 13:
1) Alligator Sky - Owl City
2) Crumbling - Emery
3) Lotus Flower - Radiohead
4) The Story - Sara Ramirez
