Boolesque

Wow. Wowowow. Burlesque was horrible. Though I am of the opinion that it is impossible (an obvious exaggeration, but you get the point) to fault "Xtina" on her voice, my word, could her acting be any worse? Certainly, I've seen worse acting, but for a movie with this kind of budget and the kind of star power that it attracted, you would think that she would somehow be better. But no. Cher and Stanley were given such minor roles, but damn, they shone. Cam Gigandet is, as always, incredibly attractive, and though his character doesn't have as much substance (scriptwise) as I would have liked, he certainly gives it his best. Or perhaps I was blinded by his smile. And his eyes. And his abs. Overall, the music and dance numbers are fun if a bit tired and overdone. It makes me think of what would have happened if Chicago collided with a truck full of glitter and sequins. I'm being nice because I think Christina Aguilera has one of the most amazing voices of the last two decades (at least), but it only garners a 5/10.

On being poor

Seeing as I am strapped for cash, I figured, what better way to make money than to do freelance work and start a blog? With a simple search, it's amazing how many different ways there are to make money on the internet. So hopefully this blog will get traffic, Google AdSense will go kaching kaching, articles written be me will start popping up all over the place, I'll chacha my way to the bank, and maybe even make enough to buy myself CS5! So this blog will probably be fairly standard, I'll rant, I'll put up music and movies and such that I enjoy, I'll give you unsolicited opinions on politics, celebrities, and Legos, and perhaps you'll even find a short story or two. Enjoy!
