Horrendous Yet Enjoyable Experience: A Cats Film Review

Cats the movie was released on December 16, 2019, and was adapted from the eponymous 1981 stage musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber -- who also wrote and arranged the Official Motion Picture Soundtrack for this movie. It was directed by the Academy Award-winning director Tom Hooper, who also directed the musical film Les Miserables in 2012. The movie is debauchery of high profile actors, musicians, and dancers. Featuring appearances of Idris Elba, Judi Dench, Jennifer Hudson, James Corden, Francesca Hayward, Rebel Wilson, Ian McKellen, and Taylor Swift. A tribe of cats called the Jellicle Cats to compete against one another through music and dance presentations, but only one worthy cat, to be called "The Jellicle Choice" will be chosen to ascend to the next life. In my own understanding of the film, I'm certain to say that the movie is not exactly an epitome of great films, but also not as bad as what the media made it out to be. SUMMARY At the beginning of the film, we see Vi...

The Perks of Being a Wallflower: An Introspective Mental Health Agenda

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a movie released on September 26, 2012, that stars childhood star, Emma Watson, and rising star at the time, Logan Lerman. It was directed by Stephen Chbosky, based on Chbosky's 1999 novel of the same name. Logan Lerman stars as Charlie, a 15-year-old junior who made friends with his seniors, Sam and Patrick; learning to cope with anxiety, and learning to deal with his traumatic past. The movie depicts the struggle that young introverted people go through in a high school setting.This movie is tantamount to a great coming-of-age film, because of its dexterity to layer heart-wrenching and honest lines to well-acted scenes; remaining true to the book, the film lets you experience an introspective soliloquy of the protagonist, Charlie. Set in 1992, Charlie is a 15-year-old boy who has made little to know friends before high school. On the first day of school, he is seen alone eating in the cafeteria and making efforts to rekindle old friendships but ...

Making Money Online As An Inexperienced Teenager

Who could use some money right now? We all do. A teen living under his/her parents’ roof, translates to financially dependent youth with nothing to maintain but his ego. For most of us, the only way we ever get spend is through our lunch money (Wow, COVID-19 certainly snapped that away from us like Thanos). If you spend it all on lunch, you have nothing, unless of course, if you have savings, which is ubiquitously true for teenagers who have the discipline, but for most of us, we just don’t have enough control of ourselves. I don’t know about you guys, but I stammer asking my parents for money. Every single fucking time, that’s why I don’t even attempt. So whatever conundrum, I deal with without asking my parents for anything. That’s a heavy-duty I-don’t-need-you-im-on-my-own life drama--that I want you to realize, is not the most clever way to deal with things (so don’t be like me). Below are the ways to go about, making money online. What I love most about the act...

9 SONGS TO HELP YOU GET THROUGH QUARANTINE

We seek refuge in music. When the inevitable breakup finally comes, we surrender ourselves to the lyrics of Adele. When someone has done us wrong, we feel a little vindictive, and dance our problems away to the beat of  “Shake It Off.” When we’re on our best moments, we can’t help it but to blast our ginormous speakers, and disrupt the whole neighborhood, with the British Synth Pop band called “The 1975.” Anywhere you are in life, there’s always a soundtrack to what you’re feeling.  Anyone who doesn ’t listen to music is in no excuse, a psychopath! Taylor Swift's "City Of Lover" Concert in Paris In the midst of crisis, there’s always something in store to lift our spirits up. John Lennon’s Imagine has remained symbolic after all these years and has been with us through trying times like this. Just like the famous quote from an anonymous Buddha, “When words fail, music speaks.” Music, is a way for us to understand the complexity of our emotions. It is the ...
