An Overview 2 (entertainment)

Hello

Here's a list of the best and worst in the entertainment industry. Entertainment is a big part of my life. I love movies and music to the point where I've become my own little critic. I have high expectations. So here's my list for what pleased me and what didn't. Don't worry, I won't be biased because I'm a rock fan...but seriously, I listen to nothing else so here goes. I'll list them in no particular order. One more thing; this is based on what I've witnessed, there may be other movies or songs I haven't heard before but are great.

Best Movies 2010

1. The Grown Ups------- Adam Sandler can never do wrong for me. With it's unique humour, it kept me laughing all the way to the end. I think it's recommended for die hard Sandler fans. They'll enjoy it.
2. Tangled------ Disney's gone and done it again. Very amusing and money well spent.
3. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1------ What can I say; excellent special effects, a hell of an imagination from J.K Rowling. It was sad though towards the end. To this day, and it's been about a month since I saw it, I still can't believe what happened. I also can't believe the movies are coming to an end. It's all too sad really.
4. Just Wright------Even though the story line is nothing special, it's still one of those chick flicks a gal needs to watch once in a while. Plus, Queen Latifha can do no wrong. I can't get enough of it. Watch it over a bowl of ice cream and you will be hooked for life.
5. Shrek Forever After-------I have to hand it to the creators of Shrek for keeping the magic alive after all these years. 

Worst Movies 2010

1. The A Team -------Honestly, I'm sick and tired of all these blasts from the past. All these remakes are not cutting it. I thought I'd give it a chance but it would not start. The story line was tacky and the whole movie, except for the guns and fast cars, was boring.
2. Death at a Funeral--------They should have just left the movie British, because it was more funny and epic. I don't know, Luke Wilson did not fit into his character, it was not believable. Zoe Saldana too was not in her zone and it was terrible. I only made it through the whole thing because of Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan.
3. Why Did I get Married Too--------I was so disappointed because the first movie was great. This was such a let down. The movie was too long and there was too much happening.
4. MacGruber--------Seriously? They made a movie about this. I mean, it's not even that funny on SNL to begin with.
5. The Karate Kid-------Again with the comebacks. I love Jackie Chan and I used to be a huge fan of this franchise when I was a child, but no; that was then.

Best Singles of 2010

1. Black Mountain- The Hair Song---------Hippie, hippie and hippie! I love the lyrics and video is so cool.
2. Motion City Soundtrack- Her words destroyed my planet---------I'd never heard of them before this but this song is a killer alternative rock jam. It got me through my tough examination period.
3. MGMT- Congratulations---------It's so mellow, simple and calming...I love it. When I'm listening to it, it's like I'm on a boat, alone in peace being carried by the wind...
4. Usher- There goes my baby---------Although I'm not a fan of Usher, this is a smooth song. I don't really listen to it, but I have to hand to to him. Just when you thought RnB had fallen to the pits. I'm just being honest here. Think about it...What crazy girl has not imagined their man singing that song to them, eh?                                                                                                                      
5. Linkin Park- The Catalyst-----------The video is to die for. I love the whole song and guys, Linkin Park is back!
6. Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce- Telephone----------Honestly I had to squeeze it in; these girls outdid themselves. The video was sick! And it sounded great on radio. I never thought I'd ever listen to Lady Gaga, but when something is worthwhile, it's worthwhile.

Worst Singles of 2010

1. My Chemical Romance- Na Na Na --------From the Black Parade to this mess. It's just awful and sad. 
2. MGMT- Flash Delirium ------------Huh?
3. The Black Eyed Peas--------Honestly, everything they've released this year was really awful. What is the world coming to?
4. Shakira- Waka Waka ----------I know it was for the world cup hype, but that's the worst song I've heard since "In the Jungle", no offence. The lyrics are whack! I'm sorry, soccer fans.
5. Ciara ft. Ludacris- Ride---------Ciara's songs are seriously starting to sound similar...and boring. The video is too raunchy but the song is worse.

So, that's it. The music section only shows the half of it because I'm a huge music fan and only an eighth of the songs I really loved made the list. Dispute with these lists all you want, this was my opinion. Make your own list if you find this one bogus. This was my taste this year.

'Till next time...
