Sunday Sayings

I recently rediscovered Demi Lovato's "no makeup monday" selfies, and I know we still have a little bit o time until Monday, but for today's Sunday Sayings I would like to do a No Makeup Monday edition.
The idea is to promote natural beauty and self confidence in order to teach girls that looks aren't that important, but also that everyone is beautiful in her (or his) own way.

Star Trek Beyond

[Warning: contains spoilers] This movie is set about three years after the last one, and Kirk is getting bored of all the exploration and peace missions. Luckily for Kirk this is a movie, so we know something big is going to happen. Kirk is also upset because his birthday is coming up, which makes him think of his father and what it means to live up to that legacy as well as make his own. Uhura and Spock are going through a rough breakup, so our main characters aren't in the best place emotionally. When they stop in Yorktown, Kirk asks to be promoted to a council job on base and to have Spock take his place as captain. Finally, our conflict begins. The Federation receives a distress signal from an alien whose ship has apparently malfunctioned, stranding her crew on the far side of the nebula, and the Enterprise is sent on a rescue mission. As they approach the planet, the crew is attacked by a small army of ships, the Enterprise is destroyed and the crew is scattered. Scotty mee...

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

The first thing you need to know about Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency  is that it doesn't really make sense unless you're familiar with the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. That may seem odd, but I promise you that knowing this famous Romantic writer is crucial to the mystery being investigated by the title character, and the author includes many other more subtle nods to The Rime of the Ancient Mariner . The next thing you need to know is that Douglas Adams' writing style is nothing short of bizarre. However, he uses science fiction, mystery, and horror elements in the most uniquely comedic ways. His narrative voice is fantastically whimsical, and he somehow manages to approach all topics--from the mundane to downright gruesome--from a whole new perspective. Never could I have imagined what it would be like to see this world without having prior contextual knowledge upon which to build my understandings, yet somehow Douglas Adams manages to do exactly th...

Rise of the Guardians

[Warning: Potential Spoilers] Before I discuss this movie I have to say that the commercials had me a little wary, and I hadn't watched this movie because I wasn't sure how good or cheesy it might be. It turns out that the star-studded cast was reflective of the quality. I wouldn't say it was one of my favourite animated movies, but it was pretty good. Rise of the Guardians tells the story of Jack Frost, a young boy who becomes a guardian. The guardians are magical beings who keep hope, joy, and imagination in the world. They are Santa Claus (aka North), the Easter Bunny (aka Bunnymund), the Tooth Fairy (aka Tooth), and Sandman (aka Sandy). As the movie opens, Jack Frost is trying to remember who he was while trying to find his place amongst the Guardians. At the same time the Guardians must deal with the rising power of their enemy, the Bogeyman (aka Pitch, as in pitch black). Children are losing hope and forgetting about the Guardians, which is only allowing the Bogeym...
