• ‘The X Factor’ Taping at Nassau Coliseum

  Yesterday I went out to Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum with my friend Kristell to watch The X Factor taping. I’ve never been part of a live audience before, so this was pretty exciting for me. However, my excitement disappeared when the clock struck 1pm and they weren’t letting us in. The ticket told us to…

• Movie Review: ‘Now You See Me’

  Yesterday I went to the movies with my mom to watch the film Now You See Me. My mother is obsessed with winning money, so when she saw the trailer for the film she went crazy. The movie was directed by Louis Leterrier. Now you See Me is considered a caper film, which is a…

• Marina and the Diamonds Lonely Hearts Club Tour NYC

  Last night I went with my best friend to see Marina and the Diamonds’ last stop on the Lonely Hearts Club tour. It was fantastic! The concert was held at Rumsey Playfield in Central Park, NYC. The doors didn’t open until 6pm, but by 5pm the line had already stretched halfway along 5th Ave. Almost…

• This Week in Music: Maroon 5’s “Love Somebody” Music Video

  A week ago, on May 14th, Maroon 5 released the fourth single off of their 2012 album Overexposed. Unfortunately, I only learned of this today. “Love Somebody” is a song about longing to have a romantic partner.  The beat of the song is very calm, with a soft fluttering guitar rift throughout and a medium…

• Movie Review: ‘The Great Gatsby’

  Yesterday, for my 19th birthday, I went to see The Great Gatsby (2013) with my guy and my best friend. Not having read the book in high school (due to my transferring between schools with two different English literature curricula, resulting in my having missed the reading of Gatsby by the time I had transferred),…

• Album Review: Demi Lovato’s ‘Demi’

  Tuesday, May 14th, 2013 marked the release of Demi Lovato’s senior album, Demi. This excited me, because any mention of this girl opening her mouth to belt out a tune is an opportunity that should not be taken for granted! Demi took to the streets of NYC to promote her album on the day of…

• This Week in Music: Mike Tompkins’ “Shake the Ground”

  Wednesday, April 24, 2013 was a big day for Mike Tompkins. Why? The genius of a musician released his first original single. ORIGINAL. NOT A COVER. For those of you who have yet to meet the Canadian YouTube phenom, I’ll show you what this guy is about: Yeah. His voice is his instrument. Literally. He…

• Episode Review: ‘Awkward.’ 3×3 “A Little Less Conversation” (with Viggle)

  During last night’s episode of Awkward., “A Little Less Conversation”, I decided to test out the Viggle app. I’ll tell you more about the interactive app later. This episode was a lot less dramatic than the first two of the season. It begins with Jenna and Matty walking through the halls. Jenna’s voice over gives…

• Movie Review: ‘Lovestruck: The Musical’

  So last night I spent some time sitting on the couch in front of my beloved flat screen to watch Lovestruck: The Musical on ABC Family. The movie looked promising, featuring actors like Drew Seeley, Chelsea Kane (known as Chelsea Staub pre-2008; still not sure why she changed her stage name) and Jane Seymour. This…
