The Pretty Reckless - Hit Me Like A Man preview

SO excited for this!!

Look what I got...:)

Lady and the Tramp Diamond edition on dvd!
It's crazy how excited this makes me. I absolutely love Disney and this movie is definitely one of my favourites. I watched it last night with the boyfriend and he really enjoyed it too. Love it!!

Songs I am obsessed with at the moment.

Welcome back, Kelly!
I much prefer this track to Mr. Know It All. It's so feel-good and poppy. It's a reminder to all girls that you don't need a man to make you happy. Loving her rock chick look & attitude in this video, too.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE.
I kind of hoped there'd be more clips from the movie in the video but meh, that doesn't matter.
I have pretty much listened this song to death by this stage. Words can't explain how much I love it. I think it's just perfect for the movie. Hauntingly beautiful. And look at Taylor! Barely any make up and she's still gorgeous :O

This song isn't exactly new,
but if you haven't heard it before, LISTEN to it. It will change your life.

Everyone has heard of Ed Sheeran by now.
He just won 2 BRIT awards, and this song was AMAZING when I saw him perform at the end of last year. His abum is amazing.

aaand my biggest obsession at the moment...

I can not big these girls up enough.
They are an all girl rock band, who actually ROCK. They can play their instruments well and write their own songs. And the most amazing thing? They're all aged 13-16. They're playing Soundwave at the moment alongside The Pretty Reckless, Mastadon & Angels & Airwaves. They recently opened for the Foo Fighters and amazed crowds who had already judged them based on appearance alone. That's what I love about these girls. You don't expect them to be THAT good, but then they start playing and blow you away. I've talked to them a few times before myself, and they are such sweethearts. Check them out.

This will always be my favourite moment from any awards show ever. It's like a real life movie moment. So cute considering they were dating at the time.

The 84th Academy Awards!

I'm so excited for this year's Oscars! I love movies, and the Oscars are definitely the best awards when it comes to the movies because it celebrates the best of the bunch. I'll definitely be tuning in!:)
Unfortunately I haven't seen a bunch of the movies nominated yet, but that'll be rectified soon :P

Best Picture

Nominees: 

The Artist

The Descendants

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

The Help

Hugo

Midnight In Paris

Moneyball

The Tree Of Life

War Horse

Predictions: I Think The Artist, The Descendants, and The Help all have a really good chance to take the award for this one. My money is on The Artist though seeing as it won 7 awards at the BAFTAS and it's so original.

Actor In a Leading Role

Nominees:

Demián Bichir - A Better Life

George Clooney - The Descendants 

Jean Dujardin - The Artist

Gary Oldman - Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Brad Pitt - Moneyball

Predictions: To be honest, I'm not too sure about this one. Reviewers have been raving about George Clooney's performance, but the Underdogs such as Demián Bichir and Jean Dujardin could very well surprise everyone and win.

Actress In a Leading Role

Nominees:

Glenn Close - Albert Nobbs

Viola Davis - The Help

Rooney Mara - The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Meryl Streep -  The Iron Lady

Michelle Williams - My Week With Marilyn

Predictions: Another tough one. I thought Rooney Mara's performance in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was incredible, but she's up against legend Meryl Streep, who basically owns the oscars. Meryl obviously stands a good chance, but personally, I'd love to see Michelle Williams walk away with this award. She is immensely talented and underrated.

Actor In a Supporting Role

Nominees:

Kenneth Branagh - My Week With Marilyn

Jonah Hill - Moneyball

Nick Nolte - Warrior

Christopher Plummer - Beginners

Max Von Sydow - Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Predictions: My money is on Christopher Plummer.

Actress In a Supporting Role

Nominees:

Bérénice Bejo - The Artist

Jessica Chastain - The Help

Melissa McCarthy - Bridesmaids

Janet McTeer - Albert Nobbs

Predictions: I think this one will either go to Bérénice Bejo, or Octavia Spencer.

Animated Feature Film

Nominees:

A Cat in Paris

Directing

Nominees:

The Artist - Michael Hazanavicius

The Descendants - Alexander Payne

Hugo - Martin Scorsese

Midnight In Paris - Woody Allen

Predictions: I Think Martin Scorsese is a terrific director, so I'd like to see him win this one. However, The Artist is so original and and was a real surprise seeing as the cast & director were relatively newcomers, so it definitely has a good chance here too.

Ariel (The Little Mermaid) tattoo.
I LOVE this tattoo idea.

A Walk To Remember

I watched this movie for the first time in years tonight, and cried like a baby.
Yeah, it's cheesy. But it's such a classic. Shane West's movie star looks and Mandy Moore's beautiful voice captivate you, and the chemistry between the two makes it so easy to watch. 

If I had to rate it...I think I'd give it 3/5 stars.

I kind of feel like maybe that would be stretching it a bit, since the acting isn't amazing and it is incredibly cheesy, but I have such a huge soft spot for this movie.

Absolutely in love with her voice.

Hello!
