8/10
A must see documentary
12 January 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This documentary needs to be seen, especially to the younger generations. How often we find ourselves absorbed in reading about a celebrity's supposed life that we forget about our own. How much time we spend obsessing over the next big story and the latest gossip that we forget how destructive it is for the victims, namely high profile celebrities in this documentary.

This documentary shows the vicious cycle of the photographed, the photographer, the buyer of the pictures, and the consumer. Although I can't do it justice as the documentary does, it is quite fascinating. The documentary also shows different perspectives on this issue by interviewing not only celebrities but paparazzi, magazine editors, and consumers. All in all, it poses the question, who is to blame? It might not be who you'd think.

If you get a chance to see this, go. It's eye opening.

LOL (2012)
7/10
don't judge a movie by it's actors
13 August 2012
I would give this movie a 7.5 or 8.

This movie wasn't exceptional; it won't win an Oscar or a people's choice award, but it wasn't a waste of time to see. I've seen the original LOL (subtitles and all) and I don't understand how this one was "worse" or "mocking" it. I enjoyed it. It was a good way to spend my evening. Miley Cyrus executed her character well. People are giving her a bad rep because of her previous movies; I'm not the biggest fan of hers myself. However, she did well in this movie. It wasn't a hard part to play but she did well. And all the other characters did well too. Between the original movie and this one, nothing was different except that this one was in English and had different actors.

This movie won't change your life by all means, but if you're looking for a romantic teen movie to watch, this one will serve you well. It's meant for teens (just like the writer/director envisioned) so don't go in expecting "The Notebook" because it will not give you what you're looking for. I hope this helps.
