Growing Up too Fast

    Children today are not the stereotypical toddlers or elementary schoolers we all used to be or know. Instead of picture books, theres ipad and kindles. Instead of house phones and cd's, theres cellphones and ipods. There are different styles of clothes that are more revealing and require makeup to complete their look. The types of TV shows they watch are influencing in a bad way. They no longer watch Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, they would rather watch Jersey Shore because that is what the media is promoting. The language, and hand gestures are used more and profanity is more knowledgeable by younger kids. It is kind of a problem, but yet it is just the proven fact that society is changing.

The Lucky One

  If you are a total romantic, and have faith in lost hope; this movie is for you. Sitting in the theatre watching this movie I found myself forgetting about the changes from the book because the plot was revised so well and different that it was barley comparable, but yet closley compatible. The Lucky One follows a U.S. marine, Logan Thibault on his journey to find the girl in the picture he found and carries as his good luck charm. Throughout the movie he finds the girl and embarks on a journey he never expected. Finding her, Logan realizes she is no longer the young, and carefree women he sees her as in the picture. Beth is a mother of a young son, a divorce' trying to get past the tight hold that her ex's town legacy has on her, and a grandaughter unwillingly taking over the long-time family business. Logan presents himself as a helpful and listening man and unexpectedly falls in love with Beths sense of opinions and outlook on life, and Beth falls for his too. If you are one to find more entertainment in un-predectable movies this is not the movie for you, but if you are one to love happy endings with a twisted story-line you will find yourself smiling and content with the outcome as you walk out the the theatre after watching this movie.

Nike Sells out Reebok for NFL logo 2012

 After all the rumors and hype over the past few months, Nike finally bought out Reebok for the 2012 logo on the NFL uniforms. The 32 teams reviled their new uniforms, and there is really not anything different than last year. The only changes that are extremely apparent on the team uniforms are the fly-wire collars and the fabric difference. Yes of course, there will still be the same logos and the same number design, the changes wont be noticeable to anyone besides the eagle-eyed football fan.
The Seattle Sea-hawks however, have a semi-big change. The colors are changed. The new color is a action green, which  along with the ocean blue accent color to represent the ocean water for the Sea-hawks will represent the trees and landscape for them.
Another cool thing is the 1/2 and 1/2 logo on the gloves when each player puts there palms up and crossed. It created the illusion that the gloves create one picture of the teams mascot.
Although some changes in the uniforms for the NFL are a little different, in no way did Nike alter the fashion of the NFL to un-thinkable heights. The changes are not horrible but they are not great, they are just simple changes that are supposed to boost up the players confidence in what they are wearing while they play the game that they love.

Spin-offs, fail to take-off

 We all know of dis-continued shows or movies in the past. All of a sudden these have become more apparent in the media. A lot of reality spin-offs are being broadcast-ed and piloted but quickly becoming extremely unsuccessful and viewers are quickly becoming un-interested. These so called " reality spinoffs" are created by producers in order to keep the viewers in any way possible. They dream up the new show idea because certain people or celebs refuse to re-up their contract or they move settings or jobs and the show no longer has the same appeal without the same characters or the same places. Unsuccessful shows like 'The City' which was formerly part of 'The Hills' has not lasted and gotten near as many viewers and media attention. Recently aired 'The Pauly D Project' is a spin-off of most popular MTV series 'The Jersey Shore' was predicted to have a mass amount of viewers and did not live up to it's standards.
There are a few more spin-offs in work, like a toddler off of TLC's 'Toddlers and Tiaras' is said to be aired sometime in the fall, hopes are high for this show but expectations of a long-term film process are not in immediate planning.
