It's another favorite time of the year, a time called awards season and it is predicted to be a good one with a contender this year starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in a beautiful love story called La La Land. The movie is about two people who are big dreamers on doing what they love which they love which is acting and being a musician. If I had to describe one word of the love pairing with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling is chemistry. The chemistry is to good you might think they were dating in real life but sadly they are not. Doing three movies together has its perks from Crazy Stupid Love (2011) to Gangster Squad (2013) you might say these actors are old friends in the film industry after working on three movies together.


What I also think what makes this movie so great is the music which drives the story through the whole movie. From start to the ending this movie it is driven by the sound of music which tells the love story of Sebastian and Mia. There is also dancing in it too. What is also superb in this movie is the cinematography and directing by Damien Chazelle who did a superb job of moving the story along with the brilliant shots and the way the movie is produced. In my honest opinion I hope everyone gets a chance to see this movie because it blew me away and I hope all the award organizations take a closer look at this movie and it will win all the awards it has been nominated for.


So if you are looking for a good date night movie this is a good movie to see because it is a feel good movie during the awards season.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
