Review: Speak Now World Tour Live

Every year for Christmas I usually get a decent amount of CDs and DVDs, because I'm a weirdo like that. This year I got Speak Now World Tour Live, which for those of you that don't know is a compilation of Taylor Swift's greatest performances throughout the course of the Speak Now World Tour. It comes with both a CD and a DVD. I really enjoyed the DVD. I think it's great when artist release concert footage, and make it purchasable to the public. It's really nice for people that can't afford to go to the actual concert. Alot of artist have done this in the past couple of years. Right off the top of my head I can remember Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, I think maybe the Jonas Brothers...

I was lucky enough to be able to see the actual Taylor Swift show when it came to town. It was amazing, one of the best times of my life so far. So I was curious about this DVD, wondering if it would give people the sense of being at a show. I was really impressed. For people that haven't had the chance to see her, it really gives you a sense that you've been a part of it, at least in some way. Even for someone that has been to her show, you get to see it up close, and from different angles.

Taylor and Grant

I would really encourage you to purchase the DVD. It truly is a phenomenal show. There's so much that goes on within a two hour time frame. So many costume changes, special effects. Each song is like it's own Broadway number. There's never a dull moment. There's always something going on on the stage to watch. The girl doesn't sit still. I also liked watching her musicians and dancers. I especially like watching Grant Mickelson (as creepy as that sounds). Thanks to this DVD, I've recently acquired a Grant obsession. I mean, nothing unhealthy. he's just really awesome. His hair, like, defies gravity.

New Layout

Not going to lie, you'd be stupid if you hadn't noticed my new layout (that is unless you're new to Oh, That Alice, and if that is the case, then welcome). It's alot different. I'm not sure if I even like it yet, I just needed a change. I got a new laptop for Christmas, so hey why not? New laptop, new change? This laptop includes a web cam, so hopefully that influences me to make more videos. It also includes better editing software, I think. I haven't gotten the chance to play with everything yet. So, I want to know what you think of they layout. Does it confuse you? I hope not. Leave a comment.

Review: Breaking Dawn, Birth

The following post contains spoilers for The Twilight Saga books and movies. Consider yourself warned.

After a long, dramatic pause, the final post of my Breaking Dawn review is here at last, and with very few pictures, because I can't find any!

The last half hour or so of the movie is when it got super intense. I knew what was going to happen, and I was still on the edge of my seat. I still remember. My arms were crossed over my chest and my back was rigid and straight. I don't how people that hadn't read the books could take it!

Once again, I was impressed during this part of the movie about how worn out and skinny they were able to make Bella look. Her bones jutted out and it looked like she weighed about 80 pounds. Her stomach was bruised and huge. It was amazing.

This part of the movie also got pretty graphic, for those with squimish stomachs. I even cringed a couple times, and I watch CSI while I eat my breakfast. I mean, when she dropped her cup of blood (So many people in the theater thought that whole bit was disguisting. It was amusing to hear their reactions. I mean, when the blood came up the straw, and into her mouth, I could hear the lady next to me say something like "Ew, that's gross.") and you heard her back break- phew. I felt like everyone in the theater was holding their breath from that moment until after Bella gave birth to Renesmee. Of course, there was also that collective gasp at the end when she opened her eyes. I thought that was truely an excellent way to end it. It left people (those have read the book and those that have not, alike) going What. Is. Going. To. Happen. Next. I mean, I know what happens next, I just really want to know how it plays out on screen.

So. The wedding. Isle Esme. The pregnancy. The birth. Put it all together and what do you get as an end result? An excellent movie. Kudos to everyone involved. Now we've just got to sit back and wait for Part 2. Right? Easier said than done.

I want to know what you thought about Breaking Dawn: Part 1. So tell me in the comments! Whether you liked it, didn't like it, thought it was eh...tell me!!! I have been getting more feedback lately and I really enjoy it, so keep um' coming!

Remembering John Lennon

Today makes me wonder what other amazing things he could have accomplished had he not been taken from this world thirty-one years ago. We'll never forget you, John.
