Summer Movies

-
It's May 1 which makes it the first weekend of SUMMER MOVIES! All year I have not been excited by any movie that was released. The last movie I saw in cinema was Slumdog Millionaire but that was released last year so it does not count. Summer movie season has started with the release of the much anticipated X- Men Origins: Wolverine. I have been excited about this movie since I first heard about it last spring. It looks amazing and it is directed by the amazing Gavin Hood(Check out Tsotsi to his cinematic genius). However, I have been hearing not so excellent reviews from people who saw it, so my excitement has dwindled. For the most part there are not many movies that I am wetting my pants for. But the ones that I am excited for have got me in a complete frenzy. I am also dying because the best show on television is coming back next month. Yes I am talking about True Blood. Hell Yeah!

My Top 5
5. Brüno
I think Sasha Baron Cohen is the funniest man on the planet. I adored Brüno on the Ali G Show . This movie seems even more offensive and hilarious than Borat. I can't wait

4. X-men Origins: Wolverine
Gavin Hood directing, a chance to see the amazing X-men, Hugh Jackman and Taylor"jizz in my pants" Kitsch.

3. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
When am I ever not excited for a Harry Potter film.

2. Inglorious Bastards
Quentin Tarantino directing, Brad Pitt in the lead role, blood, blood and more blood I rest my case.

1. The Proposal
Sandra Bullock + Ryan Reynolds= me with a huge bucket of popcorn on opening day

Honorable Mention: (500) Days of Summer- this movie seems absolutely adorable. I do have a thing for independent/artsy films.

Feminist Wednesday: Try

Few months ago I posted my first Feminist Wednesday video. Feminist Wednesday is a day I celebrate a female artist who makes me proud to be a female. Today I am celebrating the magnificent P!nk. My word when I think I can't love P!nk anymore than I do, she goes and does this. Can we talk for a minute about her flawless performance at this year's AMA. That is how you perform live folks. Here for your viewing pleasure is the powerful video for her second single off The   Truth about Love.

Moving on, starting fresh

I DID IT! I graduated college! All the sleepless nights, pulling of the hair and crying myself to sleep have paid off, I now have my college diploma. Now that I have ended one successful chapter in my life I am looking forward to embarking on the next one. I am looking forward to igniting the flame inside of me and turning it into a full blown bonfire. I am not sure what the future holds but I cannot wait to find out. When I was five I never thought I was going to live in Tunisia or Mozambique for that matter. I never would have imagined that if I put my mind to it I could study abroad in Australia nor did i think I would go to college in upstate New York. I have done so pretty much amazing things but I still want to do more. I want to see the world, get touched spiritually and emotionally by incredible individuals, hopefully bring joy to all of those around me, laugh more, cry less, regret less, write more, cook more and live each day to its fullest. In effort to start anew I have d

He doesn't even need to ask

-
Over a month ago, I watched the absolutely beautiful My Own Private Idaho . I had a bit of a revelation after watching the film. Which is kind of interesting because it has nothing to do with the themes that were brought up in the film. If you have not watched My Own Private Idaho , I suggest that you check it out. It is hauntingly beautiful and River Phoenix is such a beautiful soul. Anyways, back to the topic of my post. I was thinking about how beautiful Keanu Reeves looked in the movie and how he could seriously get it. Jokingly I said to myself that "he doesn't even need to ask". Then a light bulb went off in my head. What exactly was I insinuating by that remark. Was I suggesting that because he was so attractive he does not need to ask for my permission to have sexual relations with me? After much thought, I realized that was what I was suggesting. As someone who considers themselves to be a feminist, this revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. I was completely
