MOVIE REVIEW: BLACK SWAN

So I'm back with a movie review again. I know I had one up yesterday but I've been catching up on my movies since I have a little free time. But this time is Black Swan. It's about a ballerina (Natalie Portman) who strives to be perfect but her perfection turns into a battle against herself. It's actually quite hard to explain so I leave you with the trailer below.

Now from the trailer, you won't think it was some sort of horror film. That's what I got from it in the beginning but as I started watching it, I quickly came to realize that it was more psychological which made it even more interesting.

I honestly can't even begin to explain what the movie is about. It's just one of those things you just have to watch. It has very disturbing images (broken finger/toe nails, which I get grossed out by, masturbation, etc.) but it is very beautiful and well constructed (costumes and dancing). If you're not into ballet, I wouldn't recommend it since that is what the movie is about but if you don't mind, then definitely go ahead. I would just advise against watching it with your mother.

MOVIE REVIEW: DEVIL

So I know this movie was released to theaters a year or two ago but I just watched it so you're going to hear what I think about it, ok? Great.

Long story short, it's basically about 5 people that get stuck in an elevator. People start dying. They realize the Devil is among them. If you want a more in-depth description (since I suck at explaining things), I have the trailer below.

Don't get too excited. The trailer is better than the movie. Don't get me wrong. It's worth watching at least once to see what will happen. There's a couple of twists that will make you happy you watched it, but don't think about adding it to your List of Favorites just yet.

In the future, I will do more updated movies and more in-depth reviews but for now, this is what you get!

HOW TO BECOME A CELEBRITY

Hey everyone!

So today I want to briefly go over this website that could potentially help you become the star you've always wanted to be. Long story short, it's a website where you can upload audition videos via webcam or pre-recorded videos. They go straight to the casting director that is holding the auditions and if they like your video, you can be called in for either the callbacks or given the job. Sound too good to be true? Well it isn't.

The website was founded by Paula Abdul. She wants to change the way the audition industry is. When you first go on the website, there are users' videos everywhere. You can make an Introductory video and then start uploading auditions for your specific likes or skip the Introductions. There are a  limited amount of auditions but the website is updated frequently so if you don't like any of the casting calls, you can check back.

It's also not only for actors/actresses. If you're a singer, they have auditions for you as well. Even if you don't have any talent, they have reality show auditions. But let me just say, the site is relatively new so it's not the best of websites just yet but it is one of the few. It's free to sign up and audition but if you want to put your video at the top of a casting director's inbox, there's a fee. If you're serious about breaking into the entertainment industry, then go for it. If you don't have the money just yet, it's not that big of a deal. Now the website can give you more information than I can so check it out by clicking here. It's called Audition Booth. It's very easy to navigate but here are some suggested tips;

1. Get familiar with the website by scrolling all the way down and click on About Audition Booth. Make sure you click on the FAQ's. Go back to the main page and check out the Open Auditions. Watch some of the other users' videos that can be found on the main page.

2. If all of this is appealing to you, go ahead and create an account here.

3. Then you can continue to make your first Introductory video if you so choose. This is highly recommended by me because you can get to know the other people that use the site. Be sure to check out their videos, like them, become a fan, write comments, and send messages. If you're a social person, it's a lot more fun when you have someone who wants the same things as you to talk to.

4. Start auditioning and tell your friends!

It's that simple. So I'm going to stop talking so you can get to it and become the celebrity you've wanted to be. Just make sure you thank me when you're giving your acceptance speech at the Oscars.
