Legally Blonde

 


Hey Everyone!!! I  Hope you all are doing well. 

I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies Legally Blonde starring Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Coolidge and Luke Wilson and a whole amazing cast.

 The movie starts off with a character named Elle Woods she also has a dog named bruiser  , she is a California merchandising student and is a sorority girl also she is taken to a lovely restaurant by her boyfriend Warner Huntington the third she is expecting a proposal , he takes a turn on her and breaks up with her instead this is devastating to her.

He is intending to become a successful senator he thinks Elle isn’t serious enough for that kind of life, she assumes she can win Warner back If she accomplishes the same things that he does .

 Elle does a whole lot of studying so she can pass the test she scores a 179 on the law school admissions test combined with her 4.0 Gpa she is accepted to Harvard law School.

Elle has a bright and bubbly personality and it is a contrast to her East Coast Classmates.

Elle also finds out that her ex boyfriend is engaged to a lady named Vivian Kingston who was his previous girlfriend , she befriends local manicurist Paulette Bonafonté.

 Elle tells Warner she decides to apply for an internship the professor is holding Warner thinks that she isn’t smart enough Elle realizes that he will never take her back or take her seriously, Elle decides to prover herself by the understanding of the subject, the following semester Harvard’s most respected professor Professor Callahan hires some first year interns Elle, Warner and Vivian in a high profile case, involving prominent Fitness instructor Brooke Windham , she is Elle’s role model.

 She is accused of murdering her husband she is unwilling to produce her alibi , she secretly shares with Elle her sorority sister that she was having liposuction done during the murder of her husband .

Vivian gains new respect for Elle and they start to become friends Vivian reveals to Elle Warner’s father helped him get into Harvard , Emmett Richmond Callahans junior partner  discovered Elle’s potential also and is starting to like her.

One evening Elle has a talk with Callahan and he tries to make a move on her and seduce her he thinks that’s why she became an intern because she wants to be with him, she became an intern because she wants to be a lawyer he isn’t in that frame of mind she quits the internship and is devastated .

Elle tells Emmett what happened , Brooke fires Callahan and replaces him with Elle under Emmett’s guidance, Elle Cross Examines Brooke’s stepdaughter Chutney and notices inconsistencies in her story which you will see when you watch the movie. 

There is a big surprise that happens in the court scene that surprises the judge Elle, Chutney , Emmett, and even Callahan. It is a good and happy ending, and Everyone is happy even Elle and Emmett and Brooke I think you will enjoy what happens to Warner When he tries to win Elle back after he saw what she could do in the court room.

 I have decided to write about this movie because I love the story line and Elle’s character and how bold and brave she is to achieve her dream of becoming a lawyer even when she was faced with many obstacles and different challenges along the way of  her achieving her dream she still pushed forward and knew that she could do it, people didn’t take her seriously because she was a blonde, and had a fun and crazy personality people only had one thought about her and continued thinking that way once Elle showed what she can do and what she can achieve and she showed that she is an intelligent person even though she is blonde that nothings impossible for her and that you shouldn’t judge someone based on how they act or how they look before you get to know the real person and their heart. 

From Personal Experience, I had trouble reading when I was a little girl, and sounding out words my teachers tried to help me and they would tell me how to sound out the word and would try to help me with reading.

I wasn’t getting it at first and my teachers would become frustrated because they couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t able to read or say the words that was on the piece of paper they called my mom and told her that I wasn’t getting it and that I needed extra help or be in a different class, my mom said I’ll work with her and help her with her words and reading I had a little table at home that I would sit at and read my book , and say the words, I love music my mom would sing the words and say it in a way that I could understand and have it in my mind.

 A little later I went back to school and my teacher had her lesson book on the table ready to teach me, the book was upside down guess what?? I could read the book and the words even with being upside down it had a higher level of words . my teacher was shocked that I could decode the words and  she couldn’t believe it.  my other teachers were shocked and amazed too and very proud of me! My advice to you is before you make an assumption about someone get to know them first and Learn about them because that person may be someone who helps you later in life or become one of your life long friends.

My favorite scene from the movie is when Elle Wins her case, and everyone is so happy for her and proud of her ! I also like when she sees her name on the paper showing who will be part of the special case and once she sees her name she says Me!!!!

Fun fact about Reese Witherspoon, If you already know or didn’t know she is also in the movie Sing she plays the Pig Rosita and she does an outstanding job and really brings the character to life ! Check it out!

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good movie and a wonderful fun story.

 The movie starts out with a group of people  touring Burundi with a local guide named Kwame and a trio of porters.

 Ursula Stanhope who is from San Francisco is an heiress encounters her fiancé Lyle Van De Groot who is with two other men who are poachers he wishes to take Ursula home and marry her the poachers are to track her down.

Kwame tells the group of a white Ape a local legend of a superhuman primate that lives on Ape Mountain and rules the jungle.

they spend the night in the jungle Ursula refuses to go home until she sees an Ape , Lyle decides to go with her and they look for an ape together while they are in the jungle they encounter a lion, Lyle is scared he knocks himself unconscious trying to get away.

Ursula is saved by the white ape his name is George, George takes Ursula to his tree house and cares for her and takes care of her wounds.

 George introduces her to his friends, Ape the sapient gorilla who took him in and raised him, Shep is his African  elephant pet who acts like a dog and his bird tookie tookie, who is a toco Tucan who gives him news about the other animals .

George is falling in love with Ursula and becoming smitten, Ursula returns the feelings he has for her, and the more time she is spending with him , she grows fond of him.

Lyle max and Thor soon arrive at the tree house and Ursula treats Lyle cold for trying to abandon her during the lion attack.

Max and Thor try to shoot shep for his ivory and Ape shouts to shep to run, everyone is amazed by the ape talking Max and Thor decide to tranquilize him and capture him , George runs to save him, he is accidentally shot by Lyle who thought the gun was his novelty lighter that he was planning to scare George with.

Lyle is imprisoned by the porters who recognize him as the shooter, Max and Thor are deported they plan to return to the tree house and capture the Ape and make a fortune of of him in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile Ursula takes George to San Fransisco to get medical help for his gunshot wound, and to show him the human world he hasn’t seen since infancy. 

While Ursula is at work, George decides to go and look around at San Francisco, on his own and use his vine swinging skills to save a man whose paraglider suspension cables get caught on the bay bridge.

 Ursula admits what happened in Africa to her parents, and intends to break off the wedding her mother Beatrice won’t allow it, she coldly tells George that the wedding will go on as planned, at Ursula’s engagement party, she tells George if he loves Ursula like he says he does then to leave .

Back in the jungle Burundi Max and Thor capture Ape and tranquilize him before he falls unconscious and is captured  and falls unconscious he manages to tell tookie to get help from George , tookie flys to San Francisco and informs George of Apes kidnapping forcing George to leave Ursula and go back to Burundi.

 Ursula is confused about George’s unexplained departure , Ursula realizes she loves George and goes to find him despite what her mother tells her. 

You will have to see the movie to find out what happens with George and Ursula and the rest of the gang, it’s a happy ending and it’s funny what happens with Lyle in the movie.

 I decided to write about this movie because it brings back good memories and fun moments from my childhood, when I was little I would watch the movie all the time on my video tape , it would make me laugh and smile a lot it’s a nice memory to have from my childhood.  

My favorite scene 🎬 from the movie is when George and Ursula interact with one of the monkeys when his friends are picking on him ,George helps him out and tells him how he can get his friends to stop picking on him and look up to him, I also like the scene where George introduces Ursula to his pet elephant Shep that’s a good scene. The movie has a lot of good scenes I think you will enjoy and laugh 🤣 at. 

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good family comedy movie.

Grace Unplugged



Hey Everyone!!! What’s up !!! 

Today I have decided to write about a movie called Grace unplugged starring Aj Michalka, James Denton, Kevin pollak, Shawnee Smith and Jamie Grace, a whole wonderful cast of people.

 The movie starts off with Grace who is an 18 year old young adult who loves to sing she sings along with her dad at church on Sundays and is also involved in youth group.

Her  dad Johnny is very religious and doesn’t let her play anywhere or sing the way she would like he only wants grace to sing religious songs .

Grace thinks otherwise during a church service one Sunday Grace decides on her own to put her own little touch on one of the songs that the band is playing, her dad becomes very upset , her parents want her to focus on getting an education and going to college.

 Grace wants to be a singer and a songwriter,  one afternoon while they are all at home having lunch her dads old producer who managed him stops by the house to get Johnny to be back on tour and singing again.

 Johnny isn’t interested in touring again because he had a few troubles while he was in the business,  and was drinking and doing other things which you’ll find out when you watch the movie, Grace is interested in working with his producer.

Grace decides to go away and follow her dreams and work with her dads producer, when her dad finds out about her running away he is upset and disappointed he doesn’t want grace to get hurt, her mom tells him to let grace find out on her own what it’s like to be on the road and what it’s like to be on the road.

He reluctantly agrees with his wife Michelle, Grace is on tour, and she has first singing event that evening and it goes amazingly and the people love her, and want to hear her sing more I think maybe she does one or two encores, a little later in the tour she gets to meet her favorite singer Renae Taylor. 

She enjoys meeting her and talking with her and then she gets asked out by a movie star and overhears him talking on the phone, she withholds what she hears from her favorite singer, and celebrity. 

People are wanting to hear graces next song and waiting anxiously , they are very excited and looking forward to hearing what she sings next she is struggling with writing her stylist is also in the bathroom and she says something about grace while she is In there and grace leaves very upset.

She runs into a guy named Quentin who offers her dinner at his house with his family, he is a very nice young man, you will see what he is like when you see the movie, he takes grace to the beach and they have a nice conversation, and enjoy each others company which you will see.  

Grace decides to leave a note for her producer telling him that she is going back home and that she has decided to leave. Grace goes to her home church and sees her family they welcome her with open arms 🤗. I can tell you the ending of the movie is a happy ending , the whole family is happy!

  I have loved singing ever since I can remember today is the anniversary also of my grandfathers passing, he was an amazing and outstanding man, he loved music also and loved hearing me sing 🎤, I remember going out to visit him one day and we were siting in his back porch just talking and telling stories and talking about family and memories , a little later in the conversation I decided to sing a little I sang God bless America and my grandfather loved it, he sang along with me his singing voice was strong and bold you could hear in his voice how much he loved to sing! 

That’s a memory I will always treasure another memory is I had visited him again a different time and he had a special gift 🎁 for me he was so excited to give it to me, he had it wrapped and everything it was a music box, and it played the song you are so beautiful to me! 

While the song was playing,  he sang along with it was so sweet 🥹. I miss him so much , I am grateful and thankful for all the time I had with him and all the memories we shared together ! 

He always believed in me and my dreams and always encouraged me to go after them,  I believe he knew and knows that my dream of working at Disney will come true because his nickname for me is princess and there are a lot of princesses in Disney and all my close friends and family call me princess, so it’s a name that carries on to this day and a name I will always treasure and forever love!

 If you have a dream , I encourage you to keep believing In it and pursue it with all your heart ♥️. In a sermon I heard at church recently it was talking about God and how he produces miracles and does things beyond you can imagine or think, my encouragement to you is he will do more than you are expecting and he’s got a blessing with your name on it. 

Aj does an outstanding Job in this movie, she puts her whole heart spirit and soul imot her character and brings her to life !!!! There is a lot of love , and joy , and patience in the movie. 

My favorite scene in the movie is where she does her first music event in front of a crowd she’s at first a little nervous as she gets More into the song everyone loves her and she does an amazing job.

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good heart felt movie.

Inside Out 2

 



Hey Everyone, 

I have decided to do a blog on the movie Inside Out 2, starring Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Tony Hale, Ayo Edebiri, Maya Hawke.

 If you aren’t familiar with Inside out 2, you can see the first one Inside out, The movie is about a young girl named Riley, who just moved to a new neighborhood and has to make new friends, she just started a new school and is part of a hockey team. 

And you get to meet her emotions that she has going on in her head, Joy, Anger, disgust and fear they are really funny emotions and have fun personalities you will see when you watch the movie.  

You will love the first inside out movie, be sure to watch the first inside out before you watch the sequel.

In the movie Inside Out 2, We first see joy inside Riley’s mind cheering her on at her hockey game, we see joy calling out all the emotions in Riley’s mind so the viewers can know who they are and what they do to contribute to Riley and help her out.

It has been two years since Riley moved to San Francisco, Riley is 13 years old now and she is entering high school, her personified emotions, Joy, Anger, Sadness, Disgust and fear now oversee a different element of Riley’s mind, called her sense of self, which houses memories and feelings that shapes Riley’s beliefs.

Joy is attempting to fill the sense of self with only positive memories with a mechanism that launches negative memories to the back of Riley’s mind.

Riley is getting for ready for hockey camp with her two best friends Bree and Grace that is for the weekend, Riley is hoping to qualify for the schools new team the Firehawks, however a puberty alarm goes off the night before camp  and a group of mind workers upgrade the emotion console leaving head quarters in disarray.

 The emotions find out that Riley overreacts to any movement they make to the console, now new emotions are introduced Anxiety who is an orange emotion  , Embarrassment who is a pink emotion , Envy who is a cyan emotion, Ennui is a indigo emotion who arrives and clash with the other emotions over their approaches, in particular joy wants Riley to have fun at camp, while Anxiety focuses on a winning a spot on the team and making new friends.

Riley finds out her friends are going to a different high school , while joy is in control of the panel Riley inadvertently gets the other players punished by  the strict camp coach director Roberts.

Anxiety decides Riley needs a whole new personality to fit in with the older players, Anxiety sends Riley’s emotions away and she launches the sense of self to the back of Riley’s mind and puts her other emotions away in a memory vault, the new emotions anxiety, embarrassment, envy and ennui create a new anxiety dominated sense of self and encourage Riley to befriend Val Ortiz which strains her friendship with Bree and Grace , Joy who is a yellow emotion , Sadness who is a blue emotion , Fear who is a purple emotion , Anger is who a red emotion , Disgust who is a green emotion all escape the vault.

  Joy, fear, Disgust and Anger go to retrieve Riley’s old sense of self while Sadness goes to headquarters to bring them back in a recall tube, Riley is still under Anxiety’s control she sneaks into her coach’s office and opens her notebook to find out that Riley isn’t ready to become a official firehawk yet.

The old emotions find the sense of self built on a mountain of negative memories and thoughts deposited by joys mechanism , they are unable to use the tube to get back to headquarters they cause an avalanche of memories to get back to headquarters, this causes  the negative memories to spill into Riley’s belief system .

Anxiety realizes the sense of self she created for Riley is one of self -doubt which causes Riley to perform poorly on her final tryout match and she accidentally hurts her friend Grace and gets sent to the penalty box,  anxiety is horrified she swarms the console in a whirlwind causing Riley to have a panic attack.

Joy makes it to the headquarters she sees anxiety is in control, she is in paralysis, Joy convinces anxiety that Riley doesn’t need to change to have a better future , anxiety relents and joy puts Riley’s old sense of self back , the panic attack persists , after anxiety admits she can’t determine who Riley is Joy realizes the same applies to her, she removed the old sense of self and allows a new one to form its Riley’s positive and negative memories. 

The emotions embrace the sense of self and it calms Riley and she reconciles with Bree and Grace, the console calls for joy and she happily helps Riley finish the tryouts.

 You will have to see the movie to find out what happens next,  I can assure you it’s a happy ending and will leave you with a smile on your face.

 I decided to write about this movie because I like how the movie discusses all the emotions and feelings that a person goes through and feels from time to time or maybe feels a lot of the time, to be completely real and honest with you guys I can relate to the anxiety emotion that Riley has in the movie, I tend to get anxious often about different things, and sometimes about certain situations or circumstances, or if a big event that pertains to me is happening or something with my family like a vacation or a reunion or something like that I start getting very anxious, I think about all the things that are going to be happening and what I am going to do once I arrive there, like what I am going to say or what I am going to do ???  What kind of things are we going to do? 

Am I going to get to say all that I want to say?? Am I going to be able to take pictures before I leave for home? I have all these kinds of thoughts running through my head constantly all the time, and once it’s time to head home from the vacation , I’m thinking it’s time to say goodbye which is extremely difficult for me because I love my family so much and I enjoy the time that we are together. It’s hard for me to say bye because then I’m thinking when will I see them again ?? Or talk to them again?? Or get to give them a hug 🤗 or a happy smile.

 I get the whole tightness in my chest, and hard to breathe, and the whole racing of thoughts. 

There is a scene in the movie where you see the emotions help Riley with her panic attack, whenever I’m feeling anxious I usually talk to my family or my big sister, and she always knows what to say to help me feel better, my First Lady does too.

 I also get anxious about my work schedule, I’m thinking about hanging up the clothes the right way and making sure that I’m doing a good Job while I am there so I can make sure my managers are happy and the customers at Tj Maxx are happy.

 I also sometimes get anxious about going to my home church, I love my church and my church family and my pastor and First Lady my bestie and big sister goes to my home church and I love seeing her and giving her a hug and happy smile and seeing my other church family members there and saying hello what makes me anxious is not having someone to go with me.

I used to have someone to go with me that has changed now, I still attend my home church and I end up having a very wonderful time, I just prefer having someone with me instead of being by myself, I’ve had a few friends come with me which I’m grateful and thankful 🙏🥹 for, they enjoy the church service as well and have a good time, if I don’t make it to my church or have someone to go with me I go to a different church, I go with my wonderful family friend and neighbor , who kindly and graciously lets me go and attend church with her I’m so grateful for that. 

I only get anxious when I start thinking about different things, and going through the week, especially about Sunday.

 I am also like the character Joy, I am a happy and joyful person and always look for the positive in things and live life joyfully, I also look at the glass as half full. 

Like for example if me and my mom are running around somewhere or going to a event or something and my mom is feeling rushed and feels like we won’t make it in time I will tell her at least were on our way. That makes the whole situation at ease. 

I want you to know if you are dealing with any one of these emotions everything will be ok, you will make it through. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good movie 🎥!!!

Drum line


Hey Everyone !! 
Hope you are having a wonderful and amazing day!! I have decided to do a blog on one of my favorite movies Drumline Starring Nick Cannon, Zoe Saldana, Orlando Jones, Leonard Robert’s and a whole amazing cast.

The movie follows a young man who is from New York and he is a drummer who is played by Nick Cannon he  enters A&T University in Atlanta Georgia, he bumps heads with the leader of his new school drum section. 

Devon just graduated from high school and he’s headed to Atlanta Georgia to attend the A&T University a historically black college that takes enormous pride in its marching band.

Devon was personally invited to attend on a full scholarship by Dr. Lee head of the band for his prodigious talents.

the band separates itself from its competitors by requiring all members to read music rather than what is currently popular on the radio , and by dedication to the teamwork emphasized one band, one sound concept.

Preseason band camp is mentally and physically challenging designed to push members past their limits, at the end of pre season the musicians audition for spots on the field .

Devon is the only freshman to make P1, the highest level player , he also finds time to get a girlfriend and romances her , his girlfriend’s name is Laila.

 Sean Devon’s percussion leader is  growing weary of Devon’s cockiness he decides to challenge him to take a solo in his first game believing he will panic and be embarrassed.

Sean is shocked and humiliated when Devon takes the solo which upsets Dr. Lee, as punishment Dr. Lee orders Sean to clean the drums, this sets up tension in the drum line which is exacerbated.

 When Dr. lee is told by School president Wagner to change his focus from music to entertainment or risk losing funding.

 Dr. Lee doesn’t want to give him more playing time, because of his lack of respect and selfish attitude , he finds out that he lied on his college application about being able to read music.

He is demoted to P4 by Dr. Lee until he learns reluctantly he gives him his P1 Spot back when Wagner pressures Dr. Lee.

Devon inflames a fight at A&Ts homecoming game with a visiting band , he is expelled from the band by Dr. Lee and the fight also strains his relationship with Laila .

She is embarrassed to introduce him to her parents who attended the game. Devon contacts A&Ts rival school board Morris College to discuss playing for their band next season.

Mr. Wade Browns  leader says that Devon doesn’t need to know how to read music , he will likely get a full scholarship and a good position on the drumline , when Wade wants to know what Dr. Lee  is planning for the BET big southern classic a large competition of college bands.

Devon realizes he was trying to use him to steal A&Ts performance plans  and that his heart and honor is still with the A&T Band he rejects the scholarship from wade and returns to A&T.

 Though Devon isn’t still playing with the band, he doesn’t give up his drumming , after receiving tapes from his estranged father Ray he gains inspiration for the new drum arrangements, he goes to present these ideas to the band, he and Sean have a confrontation and clear the air.

 They begin to work together and present the idea to Dr.lee who decides to use the idea for the classic, Devon helps them prepare for the classic, and he patches things up with Laila , In appreciation for all his help and preparing the band for the classic seeing his maturity and growth he tells Devon that he can play in the band the following year.

The movie seems to be based on HBCU , Historical Black colleges I had some family members that attend different universities. My dad attend AT&T University in Greensboro North Carolina.

You will have to see the rest of the movie to find out what happens next I can assure you it is a wonderful and happy prodigious. 

I decided to write about this movie because Nick Cannon is one of my favorite celebrities,   Love his personality and his happy and bright smile and the heart that he has for people and his family. 

He is my top favorite host on the Masked Singer he does an excellent job on the show, he makes it so fun and entertaining and a good experience for everyone who is involved in the show and for everyone who is watching the show in person live and for those who are watching on screen at home. 
He does such an Awesome job playing this role he puts his whole heart and spirit into the character and brings him to life. 

The drumming in the movie reminds me of my Uncle he is an outstanding drummer, he plays the drums amazing and beautifully I know that it’s Music to Gods ears he’s playing the drums since his Childhood, when he was younger, he would drum on the table and his mom and my mom who is his sister said that he has a good beat. Always a good and exciting Time when I see him and my Aunt. I don’t know what I’d do without them,  I’m blessed and grateful to be their niece.

He plays the drums for a few different churches and I have been blessed to hear him play the drums whenever I go to visit with him and my Aunt and Cousins, he plays the drums to bring glory to God and also I think because it brings him joy and makes him happy, when I hear a song playing I often think of my uncle and say to my mom or myself I see my uncle playing this song.

I’m praying to God that my Uncle will have a chance to play in a band with a well known artist and then once people hear him play the drums then more people will want him to play for them, I Know that God will do more than he is expecting.  I often find my self  air drumming to different songs that I hear I air drum my pretend drums and move my hands like my uncle does when he plays his drums. He is loved by so many and brings joy to a lot of people blessed to have him. I love my uncle very much, he always brings joy and happiness to my heart and spirit.

 I can also relate to this movie personally you see because I have a cousin named Devin , everytime I see the movie, I think of my cousin Devin because he is smart, and caring and has a big and wonderful heart, and is Loving, kind, and always has a bright and happy smile on his face when I see him, he always knows how to cheer me up and put a smile on my face. He is also loved by many and is a wonderful friend, cousin ,brother, son and father . I love him so much with all my heart.♥️ I am so grateful and thankful for him.
I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good musical and fun movie 🎥

Lion 🦁 king in honor of James Earl Jones

 

Hey Everyone!!! Today I decided to do my blog on lion king 👑 in honor of James Earl Jones! He played Mufasa.

 I’ll give some more facts on him later, the movie starts out in Pride Rock with all the animals gathered around to see the newborn lion 🦁 cub, King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi newborn son Simba is presented to the gathering animals by rafaki the kings shaman and advisor .

His younger brother scar covets the throne. Mufasa shows Simba the pride lands and forbids him from exploring beyond the borders of the landshe explains to Simba the responsibilities that comes with being a king and the great circle of life which connects all living things.

Scar tricks Simba  into exploring an elephant grave yard, which is beyond the pride lands, Simba and his best friend Nala are approached and chased  by three hyenas named Shenzi, Ed, and Bonzai.

The king is alerted by Zazu his majordomo hornbill bird about what’s happening with Nala and Simba He immediately goes to rescue the cubs.

Though the king is disappointed in Simba for disobeying him and putting himself and Nala in danger he forgives him and they spend time together and play together , and look at the stars , he tells Simba the great kings of the past look down on them from the stars and one day he will look down on Simba from those stars.

Scar goes to tell the hyenas that he is hatching a plan to kill the king and Simba in exchange for hunting rights in the pride lands.

Scar sets his trap for Mufasa and Simba, he tells Simba that there is a special surprise waiting for him, he sits him on top a rock and tells him the surprise is to die for, all of a sudden he hears a noise it is a stampede , he tells the hyenas to drive a herd of wildebeest to trample Simba.

Scar runs to tell Simbas father about the stampede and Simba is in danger the king runs to save Simba, he does save Simba he ends up getting stuck in the stampede and he begs scar for help, scar refuses and throws him off the rock, and the king ends up passing away in the stampede.

Scar tricks Simba into thinking his dads death was his fault he tells him to run away and never return, he sends the hyenas after him to finish the job.

Simba escapes and he is unfounded by the hyenas they say they will tell scar that he is gone, and they yell to Simba if he ever comes back they will kill him.

Scar is unaware of Simbas survival he shares with the lions that Simba and Mufasa have passed away and that he is the king of Pride Rock now, he allows the hyenas into the Pride lands. 

Simba is rescued in a desert and founded by a meerkat and a warthog named Timon and Pumba, he hangs out with them for awhile and they become friends with Simba, he learns of the motto they live by no worries Hakuna Matata.

 Simba in his teen years rescues Timon and Pumba from his best friend Nala who he hasn’t seen in years, they fall in love , Nala Urges him to come home and tells him the Pride lands is being destroyed by Scar he needs to take over Pride Rock.

 Simba runs away angry, he is still feeling guilty about his dads passing , Simba encounters Rafaki and tells him his dads spirit lives on in him, and Simba is visited by his dads spirit he tells him that he must take his place as king and remember who he is, Rafaki advises him to learn from his past and not run away from it. Simba decides to Return home and take back Pride Rock from his Uncle. 

You will have to see the rest of the movie to find out what happens, I can assure you it is a happy ending, it’s an amazing beautiful story.

 I loved how Mr. James Earl Jones played the king 👑 he put his whole heart and spirit into the character of Mufasa, he will forever be my Mufasa and he will be remembered forever he left an incredible mark on the world and has touched millions of hearts and lives, and has been in incredible movies like Coming to America, Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, The Lion King, and the new Lion King, Sandlot, Claudine , he had such a calming and strong unique voice and personality that everyone loved 🥰 and will always remember and Cherish .  

My favorite scene from Lion King is when Timon tells Simba you’ve got to put your past behind you, you can’t dwell on the past because it’s gone and you have to focus on what’s happening now yes you may have had a few rough times in the past you have gotta move on and keep moving forward.

 I have had a couple rough times in my past, and there a couple times that I have dwelled on it, I realize that I can’t deep dwelling on the past because it’s over .

I have to keep my head up and remember who I am and whose I am and keep moving forward and living life happily and to the fullest , if you have had a rough past I am sorry, try to move past it and keep your head and keep moving forward and try to have no worries Hakuna Matata and know that everything will be ok.  I have good people in my life who help me keep my head up and keep me encouraged my bestie and my big sister I call her my Queen she will forever be my Queen, she has helped me so much through different stages in my life, and has helped me keep my head up I don’t know what I’d do without her, and I’m blessed 🥹 with amazing friends that are also helping me through this time in my life and I’m so grateful and blessed for them.

 I just want you all to know that it will all be ok, and it will work out keep holding your head up and remember who you are and whose you are, I know I am Princess Emerald and I am loved and cared for by many and I am a Nittany lion, I am chosen and a daughter of the King, and I am a sister cousin , and friend. I am so grateful to be all of those.

My favorite scene from lion king is when Simba sings I just can’t wait to be king, he’s so excited about what’s to come and the different plans he has on being King. I also like the scene where Simba is Stuck with the hyenas and Simba roars at them, and they laugh at him because he has a tiny roar, they laugh at him and tell him to roar again and this time it’s a ferocious roar and the hyena’s definitely get scared then because the roar comes from his father, Simba doesn’t know his dad is behind him. The hyenas definitely get scared and tell Mufasa they will leave Simba and Nala alone.

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good story. Thank you Mr. Jones for playing an incredible character and leaving a great voice to the world that will be remembered and cherished forever.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

L



Hey Everyone !!! Happy Thursday, I hope you all are doing well and having a great day!! 

I have decided to write about the movie Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. It’s one of my favorite movies.

It starts off with Charlie Bucket who is a poor paperboy, he passes Willy’s chocolate factor and the tinker that works there tells him no one ever comes in or out of the factory.

Charlie makes it home his grandparents live with him , his grandpa Joe tells him he worked for Wonka, he tells him that Wonka has shut down the factory due to espionage from rival confectioners.

 Production resumed three years later, and the new workers are unknown, the factory remained closed to the public. 

Willy announces that there is a contest being launched, hidden among five out of billions of Wonka’s chocolate bars are five golden tickets 🎫 .

The  big prize is whoever finds the tickets will receive a lifetime supply of chocolate and get to visit Mr. Wonka’s long isolated factory for a free tour. 

Once everyone hears about this the whole world goes crazy, with Wonka chocolates being sold out at almost every store, the first Golden ticket is found by a gluttonous greedy German boy named August Gloop.

The second is found by a spoiled ,immature little girl named Veruca Salt, whose father utilized his peanut factory workers to open Wonka bars from dawn until dusk. 

The third ticket is found by a girl named Violet who is an avid gum chewer ,having chewed a piece of gum for three months straight to achieve a world record, the fourth ticket is found by a boy named Mike Teevee who is obsessed with guns and televisions particularly westerns , a mysterious man always shows up and whispers into the ticket winner’s ears, while the children are claiming the tickets in turn, and the adults go to crazy lengths to find the tickets on their own.

 Charlie spends one night wondering around Town thinking what will happen if he misses out, Grandpa Joe uses all of his tobacco money to buy two Wonka bars one at a time for Charlie, neither one contains a ticket, the wonderful bond he has with his grandpa is all the stronger for that.

 Finally a Paraguayan television network announces that a millionaire living in the Andes has claimed the fifth ticket , with all the tickets gone and no more to hunt for the world gets back to normal.

 Charlie is heartbroken about the Chance he missed , he goes to school the next day doing his best to put it all behind him, he is on his way to deliver papers he finds some some money in a storm drain next to the candy shop.

He fishes the money out and goes to buy Wonka chocolates including a regular Wonka bar as he goes to claim his papers to start his route.

 He hears commotion over a headline FiFTH TICKET FRAUD, while the adults are talking about  the fraud Charlie starts to unwrap slowly the Wonka bar he bought and finds the fifth golden ticket.

Charlie’s discovery excites and electrifies the town folk, one of their own has claimed the genuine fifth ticket , people are trying to get the ticket from him or buy it from Charlie is excited about seeing the factory and having a lifetime supply of chocolate.

 Mr. Joepeck helps Charlie still holding the ticket tells him to run home and not stop until he gets home which Charlie does very happily, as Charlie is almost home he runs into the man who has put himself in all the other celebrations though Charlie isn’t media savvy he doesn’t know about it, he introduces himself as Arthur Slugworth, and offers Charlie a 10,000 dollar stock certificates if he will quietly abstract from the factory a secret prototype recipe of an Everlasting Gobstopper formula.

 Charlie rushes the rest of the way home and announces his find, Grandpa Joe reads the ticket terms which says the tour is October 1st, which is the next day, the holder of the ticket may bring one family member as a chaperone.

Charlie decides to bring his Grandpa Joe, who happily agrees and manages to get out of bed for the first time in 20 years, the next morning the town puts on a celebration with a band to see the opening of the factor doors promptly at ten o’clock the doors open . 

Out walks Willy Wonka he is leaning heavily on a cane and follows the pathway to the pavement ,  he gets to the end of the path and leaves his cane behind stuck into the ground , and then he leans over about to fall , he does a somersault leading into the adventure that follows.

He calls the ticket holders to step forward Veruca salt insists on going first though hers was the second ticket the other kids don’t care what Order they go in through .

the kids introduce themselves and Wonka greets them and this parents , for the girls their fathers, for Augusts and Mike their mothers and grandpa Joe, Wonka leads them all inside, he asks the kids to first sign a contract with print that starts out large and ends in being very small, the kids have signed the contract and the tour begins the first stop is the chocolate room which includes a candy land with a river of chocolate and other sweets 🍭, the visitors meet Wonka’s workers who are orange and short they are Oompa Loompas . 

You will find out how Wonka came upon them when you watch the movie, the tour that is going on one by one the kids fall into temptation that play upon their most profound weaknesses of character Augusts falls into a river of chocolate and gets sucked in an extractor pipe , they go on Wonka’s boat ride through a dark tunnel and visit an inventing room where Violet starts chewing on a prototype experimental piece of gum that isn’t finished yet, it’s supposed to have the taste of a three course meal, with blueberry pie for desert she is transformed into a talking blueberry .

Veruca the selfish girl falls through an educated Egg -dictator which can tell the difference between good eggs and bad eggs, all the bad eggs go down the garbage chute that’s where Veruca went and her father follows her down, Mike is impressed by Wonka’s new invention called Wonka vision which can shrink down giant Wonka bars and transmit them through television.

 Mike goes through it and ends up reduced into a little tiny person about a twelfth of his normal size, Charlie and his grandpa give into temptation in between the girls mishaps they sample fizzy drinks and float up a chimney, they risk running into a exhaust fan, they manage to burp their way down and rejoin the others, it’s the end of the tour.

 Wonka thanks Charlie and his grandpa for coming and heads into his office you’ll have to see the movie to see what his office looks like, his grandpa Joe asks Willy about the lifetime supply of chocolate the ticket promised Wonka tells Joe that Charlie disqualified himself  by stealing fizzy drinks which violates the contract.

 Grandpa Joe becomes angry at Wonka he suggests to Charlie to give slugworth the prototype Gobstopper as revenge Charlie can’t bring himself to hurt Wonka intentionally, he approaches Wonka one last time and sets the candy on his desk, Wonka joyfully declares Charlie has won the contest, he reinstated the chocolate prize and reveals slugworth is his employee of his named Mr.Wilkinson the offer to buy the Gobstopper was a morality test for the kids which only Charlie passed.

 The rest of the movie Is really good and has a very happy ending, I decided to write about this movie because I love the story , and I also really love chocolate and I like how the characters are written in the story and how they are portrayed , Charlie is my favorite character in the story because he reminds me of myself, his kind and friendly personality and his love for his family.  

The moral of the story is hard work pays off, That is something my grandfather always told me hard work pays off. I want you all to know that the hard work that you all do will pay off and you will be blessed In the end. 

Also people have mentioned that I have a heart of gold, I believe that to be true, because

I am Honest and not greedy, the characters who are greedy and selfish do not fare as well as Charlie. 

Another important lesson in the movie is honesty is the best policy,  the characters who are honest and truthful get rewarded.  I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to a have a good laugh and watch a nice story .
