Multimedia Mondays {5}: Kiss by Carly Rae Jepsen; X-Men First Class

'Multimedia Mondays' is a feature that I created to post about a movie / TV show that I've recently watched or the new music that I have on repeat. Because a great library won't be complete without a multimedia section.

 1. Tiny Little Bows

2. This Kiss

3. Call Me Maybe

4. Curiosity

5. Good Time (ft. Owl City)

6. More Than A Memory

7. Turn Me Up

8. Hurt So Good

9. Beautiful (ft. Justin Bieber)

10. Tonight I'm Getting Over You

11. Guitar String / Wedding Ring

12. Your Heart Is A Muscle

(with different bonus tracks for different editions)

I really love this album. Most of the songs are upbeat, but not the noisy kind of upbeat. In some of them, though, I can't bear with Jepsen's voice... okay, it's actually just in 'Guitar String / Wedding Ring', which makes it my least favorite song in the album. It's not one of those treasures wherein I loved all of the songs, but I could listen to this on repeat for a whole day. 

Honestly, I already did.

In 1962, the United States government enlists the help of Mutants with superhuman abilities to stop a malicious dictator who is determined to start World War I I I.

I watched this last night while my sisters ended up sleeping on the couch - sleepyheads and loved it! For me, it's the best out of all the X-Men movies because I've never seen these characters in the way they were portrayed in this (did they get this from a Marvel comic or was this an original for the big screen?). Jean Grey not being there - she wasn't, right? - and Hugh Jackman's short cameo as Logan are two other reasons. Lastly, this made me want an X-Men Origins: Magneto movie even more, though we got the gist of that in here.

Multimedia Monday: Another Cinderella Story and Zookeeper

A guy who danced with what could be the girl of his dreams at a costume ball only has one hint at her identity: the Zune she left behind as she rushed home in order to make her curfew. And with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him, he sets out to find his masked beauty.

I used to dislike Selena Gomez for no particular reason but after watching this, not anymore! The dancing and music in this movie was awesome.

A group of zoo animals decide to break their code of silence in order to help their lovable zoo keeper find love -- without opting to leave his current job for something more illustrious.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a veterinarian because I loved animals. I still do. So any movie about them just touches my heart. And just how cool are talking zoo animals?

Multimedia Monday: She's All That and DOA: Dead or Alive

A high school jock makes a bet that he can turn an unattractive girl into the school's prom queen.

I first watched this long ago when my sister bought the VCD - yes, that long ago - and I remember getting so hooked I watched it a couple times more days after. The story's really cute, Rachael Leigh Cook's really cute, and Freddie Prinze Jr.'s really cute. And it got me listening to Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer for months. Seriously.

The movie adaptation of the best selling video game series Dead or Alive.

I love action movies wherein they use their bodies (hands, feet, etc.) to fight. I love it more if there's swords involved. And even better if it's girls who do the ass-kicking. So to mix all that? Genius. And I love the variety of characters in this movie. Actually, I love the kinds of the characters. Pro-wrestlers, master thieves, and ninjas. Need I say more? I didn't think so. Now excuse me while I re-watch Charlie's Angels.

Multimedia Monday: The Amityville Horror

A family is terrorized by demonic forces after moving into a home that was the site of a grisly mass-murder.

My sister forced me and my other sister to watch this last Saturday night before I went to sleep alone, so I ended up covering my eyes for about a quarter of the movie. In the end, though, I realized it was just another horror film, quite similar to The Last Exorcism in terms of the ending and less scarier than the Paranormal Activity movies. I even managed to turn the lights off when I slept!

Multimedia Monday: Game of Thrones Season 1 and The Darkest Hour

You know how libraries have multimedia sections?

‘Multimedia Mondays’ will be about a movie / TV show I’ve recently seen or the new music that I have on repeat in my iPod. I hope you’ll enjoy these posts!

Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros.

One word: BRILLIANT! This is one of the few TV/movie adaptations that did justice to the book. I can't wait for season two!

In Moscow, five young people lead the charge against an alien race who have attacked Earth via our power supply.

Though the premise for the aliens in this movie was quite unique, the characters were very predictable. If you want to feel irritated, this is the one for you.
