Beauty and The Beast Is A Must See

On March 17, Disney released their live action remake of Beauty and the Beast. Emma Watson traded her wizarding wand for that infamous yellow ball gown starring as Belle and Dan Stevens portrayed the Beast. Their co-stars includes a myriad of beloved stars such as: Josh Gad, Emma Thompson, Luke Evans, Kevin Kline, Ewan McGregor, Ian McKellen, Audra McDonald, etc.

When remakes are made, many people are extremely skeptical of whether or not it will live up to the original. Despite the skepticism, there was also a ton of excitement for what was to come. Expectations were high and trust me when I say, they were met.

The cast

The cast is absolutely phenomenal. Every single person portrayed their character so well and really made you feel what they were feeling in the movie, especially Emma. There were a few parts in the movie where Emma got emotional and it truly brought tears to my eyes and I heard many sniffles throughout the movie. Excellent acting, I can't say enough about it.

The storyline

This is where the skepticism plays a big part when it comes to remakes. Will this movie follow the original story? Yes. This movie not only followed the original story extremely well but actually gave more detail to the story that the 1991 version did not. For example, we find out why they live in the town that they do, the Beast's background, and about Belle's mom. In Disney cartoon's, there is often one parent and the other is rarely spoken about. This live action expanded on some things that did not take away from the beloved original movie at all but added to it.

The visuals

The visuals were great in the film. In some movies, it feels almost too "green screeny" and it takes away from the film. But in Beauty and the Beast, it felt and looked real which only made the experience better.

According to CNNMoney, as of noon on Sunday, March 19 this movie has made $350 million worldwide in the box office. $170 million of that is in North America alone.

So if you are on the fence about whether or not you want to see Beauty and The Beast, I highly recommend that you do.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
