Movie Review

I went to see the movie Pitch Perfect this past weekend. It was a about competitive collegiate acapella singing groups vying for the national title.I was super excited to see this movie (yep, I admit, I am a sucker for a teeny-bopper song/dance movie with an underlying romantic aspect). After losing to an all male group from the same university the year before, it was time to revamp the Aca-bellas. A newcomer to the university by the name of Beca would rather mix music than sing it. But as a condition of her going to Los Angeles funded by her father, she must attend one full year of university and really try to socialize and get unplug the headphones. At orientation at the university she meets the Aca-bella's and eventually is convinced to help sing with them. With a new group of girls, the Aca-bellas emabark on the journey to nationals and in hopes of reclaiming the title that was once owned by them but not before some changes are to take place. I thought it was good, however not as good as I went into the movie hoping it would be. The movie was quite funny at parts, but the "mean girl" character left alot to be desired. The role was overplayed and seemed fake (Yes I am aware, it is just a movie and thus, all is fake) but I felt the "mean girl" was TOO unrealistic and slightly weird at times. The funniest character in the movie is "Fat Amy" as the commercial for the movie shows, she calls herself by this name because she doesn't want other mean girls to call her that behind her back. This is how she is known throughout the entire movie. She is a funny character (even in other movies that she has played in, she plays the comedic relief). I really enjoyed her character. Overall the movie was good, upbeat and fun. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes these types of movies. However, if Glee or High School Musical is not your thing, (although this movie is not AS teeny bopper as those two, it is however a similar style) this is probably not the movie for you.

Okay. So I know it has been a while since my last post. Let me explain. I could not decide on what to write my final research paper on. I was incorrect in my very first online post about which assignment we were supposed to be discussing. My bad.
You will be happy to know I am sure, that I have finally settled on a topic.Drum roll please.
Nature Vs. Nurture. Everyone everywhere has an opinion on this topic. Even if they do not outwardly express it, or even realize it. Do you feel that someone behaves the way they do because of genetics? That a bad temper is actually contained in our genes? Because our grand father or grand mother had a short temper, automatically means, we possess the gene to be the same way?
Or do you feel that the way we behave is actually the result of our surroundings? My friends are bullies (not literally of course) does that mean that I will follow suit and do the same?
We will wait and see. I am very interested to obtain more information on this topic. I am 100% serious when I say, this is actually a huge debate in my household.
