    This is the reason he is my mentor. I’ve never known such a rounded, intelligent, motivated individual. He isn’t afraid to tell it like it is in the industry. Curt makes me want to be the best I can be and chase the things I want.

    Never stop believing. I’m proud to call this guy my friend.

    “Nothing happens unless first we dream……The only REAL failure, is the failure to try, and the measure of success is how we cope with disappointment.”

    - The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel


    Seriously one of the best films I’ve seen in a while. Incredible performances from Dame Maggie Smith and Dame Judi Dench. Definitely the best of British in the cast! It makes me want to take MORE lessons to be even half as good. Very inspiring to watch them on  screen. Just wow….

    I think we’ve established by now that I suck by not having watched all the classics or staple movies everyone should watch. BUT, tonight I decided to see what all the fuss was about with “It’s a wonderful life”. Expecting a soppy, family Christmas movie….boy was I surprised. It’s actually a really dark story, and one that’s very close to my heart right now. It’s certainly opened my eyes today and the production of that kind of movie in its time must have been incredible. THIS is the kind of movie that made me want to start acting in the first place. To be a storyteller, and make incredible films like this. 

So inspired by this film now :)

    “There are so many reasons Klaine is such a cherished, beloved couple – and perhaps even the most favorite on “Glee.” The driving force behind the fan shipping is unquestionably the incredibly brilliant job Chris Colfer and Darren Criss do bringing Kurt and Blaine to life – and making their feelings in any given moment in their relationship so wonderfully real. The amazing thing about this phone call is how much we feel what they are feeling – on two separate ends of the conversation, in two separate places. Blaine clings to every word Kurt says (and so do we, who are we kidding?). When Kurt says “I miss you like crazy” and “You’re still my best friend” Blaine fights tears and ours flow helplessly—en masse. Kurt promises they’ll have a “mature heart-to-heart” at Christmas and maybe go ice skating. Darren Criss just nails how you can be so happy and sad at once that you can’t really even speak. So Blaine sort of squeaks out, “So we’re really gonna see each other at Christmas?” and Kurt says yes, with confidence. When Blaine sort of breathes out, “I love you so much, Kurt…” Kurt offers a shorter, more crisp, “I love you too.” It’s obvious Kurt is trying to keep his chin up and not break down – until Isabelle finds him and offers him a hug and tears roll down his face.”

    The fact that I even get to pursue this career and art is beyond amazing. I do not take it for granted. Sure, it can be hard. It takes a lot of worth and dedication. But I have been blessed with some amazing opportunities that allow me to pursue this dream and I do not take that for granted for one second. When I struggle with self doubt (which is daily), I remember what I fell in love with and what compelled me to begin to pursue doing what I’ve set out to do in the first place. Then it all makes sense once again. I get myself out of the way and let love and passion lead me once again. I believe my life is purposed and not an accident and I can walk in that faith.

    The main things that keep me going are my family, friends and my love for of storytelling.

    Twilight - Breaking Dawn Part 2

    So I saw Breaking Dawn Part 2 today….. And I know a LOT of people hate on the Twilight saga but guess what? I LIKED IT. And I actually got quite emotional at the end.

    The way after the film, they featured every single named character in like a montage, from all 4 films was incredibly well done. Really felt like a fitting end. They even included BOTH Victoria’s after the controversial cast change after the first film. Most impressively…..they managed to add the fight scene that the book seriously lacked, without changing the book ending which was so clever. It gave Aro a reason to back off instead of him just saying “oh ok, we won’t fight, see ya later” like he kind of did in the book. The scene was just perfect and really en captured what the book lacked. The added scenes really moved the story along without dragging insignificant details like parts of the book did, and added a new deeper understanding to some of the characters.

    Only downside for me was the CGI used on Remesmee, it was awful at times. Embarrassing for a multimillion pound movie franchise in this day and age. The film is packed with an impressive array of well known faces, as well as some new promising talent in Hollywood. But the disappointment for me was Kristen Stewart. I’m sorry but her acting is questionable at the best of times and I feel she let the film down. Her lack of versatility in her face meant most of her expressions remained similar. I don’t like to criticise fellow actors but I was just very disappointed in her performance. But the movie as a whole really was a fitting end to a saga I’ve become very fond of. Also - so so glad they reverted back to the original composer (Carter Burwell) from the first film. The soundtrack was a million times better than the middle films and really felt like the Indie film it started out being. Perfect score.

    The final shot of the movie is of the last page in the book, the last word echoing ‘Forever’ felt like it was not only for the story but for the fans too.

    P.s. Keep an eye out for a movie stealing performance from Lee Pace as Garratt. He’s such a talented actor and he is exactly how I imagined the character to be.

    “Now remember firmly what I tell you: the theatre, on account of its publicity and spectacular side, attracts many people who merely want to capitalize their beauty or make careers. They take advantage of the ignorance of the public, its perverted taste, favouritism, intrigues, false success, and many other means which have no relation to creative art. These exploiters are the deadliest enemies of art. We have to use the sternest measure with them, and if they cannot be reformed they must be removed from the boards. Therefore … you must make up your mind, once and for all, did you come here to serve art, and to make sacrifices for its sake, or to exploit your own personal ends?”
