Drag Me To Hell Movie Review


Everyone that knows me, knows that I am a horror movie junkie. I especially love the older movies that have more suspense and less gore. Gory stuff just freaks me out...a lot! I first saw the trailor for Drag Me To Hell when I went to see Haunting In Connecticut. The trailor seemed crazy, but I didn't think that this movie would be all that great. Boy, was I wrong. The moment the title popped up on the screen and the music started, I knew this movie was going to be pretty scary. After seeing it today, I truly believe that this is the scariest movie that I have ever seen in my life!!! The movie freaked me out because it deals with spirts, demons, and curses. I don't like the thought of something simple like an Ouija board, so this movie definitely made me cringe. There were points in the movie where I thought the movie would end, but another crazy event would occur. There are a ton of twists and turns in the plot that will make the viewer freak out. I would recommend anyone who is a scary movie fanatic to see this movie, but I can tell you that I will never see this movie ever again. It freaked me out that much. One time is good for me. Here's a summary of the plot.

Summary:

Chris (a woman) is up for a promotion at work in a bank, but she has some competition with a fellow employee for the position. She feels like the other competitor is winning the position, so she is trying to do make perfect decisions at work. An old woman named Mrs. Ganush comes into the office to ask for a loan extention, because she is about to lose her home. Chris talks to her boss about the situation and chooses to not give another extention. The woman begins to beg her for the loan, but Chris does not budge. In fact, Chris calls security to take her out of the bank. After this incident, the main character goes to her car after work to find the old woman in her car. Mrs. Ganush curses Chris with this powerful spell. After the encounter with the old woman, Chris starts seeing things and hearing things that no one else can see or hear. The curse is supposed to last for 3 days, and on the third day, the demons will come drag her to hell.

Good Music May 30th!!!

Okay, so I have been l have been listening to a ton of different songs lately. I am just getting out of my Drake phase. I still love him, but for two weeks, I have only listened to Drake or Lil Wayne. I think I might have gotten on the obsessed side too, but I'm not crazy person lol. He is pretty sexy though..ahh! :)

---Chrisette Michele: Epiphany.
It took a good few weeks for this song to rub off on me, but now, it is one of my current favorite songs. It also doesn't hurt that Drake is in her music video too. Mmmhmm.

---Ciara: Work
This song is amazing! I don't quite like all the words, but it makes me want to dance. This is probably the best song on her new cd Fantasy Ride. I said on my last post that Love, Sex, and Magic was pretty cool, but now I have changed my mind lol. I remember listening to Work during Infinity Modeling Troupe (UNCC) practice, because we used it in one of our shows. I always thought this song was banging. The only thing that bugs me, is that Cici is starting to be extra provocative. Is this necessary to sale records nowadays? She used to be more clean cut and a role model for younger girls, but now, I have no idea what is going on with her.

Okay, today I feel like talking about some throwback songs that are my favorites right now. If you haven't heard of these songs, then you should check them out, because I only like good music.

---Amel Larriuex: Weather
This song is so calming to me. I just like to kick back and listen to this song. It's off of her first cd called Infinite Possibilities. This woman has the most amazing voice ever! She beats the pants off of Mariah Carey, seriously. You might also know this woman from the group Groove Theory, you know, the group that sang Tell Me. :)

---SWV: You're the One
SWV was one of the best girl groups ever! This song came out in 1996 and is still fun to listen to now.

---Amy Winehouse: In My Bed
This song comes off of Amy's first cd titled Frank. I love this cd, period, but this song stands out to me. I love it because it has the same beat as one of rapper Nas's songs.

Randoms Tirades of The Week!!!

Okay, so I have been slacking on this whole blog thing, but I will try to update as much as possible. I need to get my thoughts out....IMMEDIATELY!!

1. What is it about the summer that makes guys become so bold? I just don't get it. It seems like guys get the courage to talk to a female once the temperature starts to rise or something like that. In my experience, I have had the most guys try to talk to me in the summer time. This summer has just begun, and already drama has followed me. Everyone says you should NEVER bring your girlfriend/boyfriend to the club with you, but my boyfriend and I have a great and trusting relationship. We have no insecurities within our relationship. We go to the club together all the time, and in fact split up while we're there. I don't want to just dance with my boyfriend all night, yet I will not take a number from any guy and hopefully he does the same as I do. Well this past week, we went to the club, and one guy knew that my boyfriend and I were together, but he continued to try to talk to me while my boyfriend was right around the corner. WTF?! This guy then tried to fondle me and ask me inappropriate questions. Maybe it's just young guys. I have no clue.

2. Okay, so everyone knows I am going to study abroad in Murcia, Spain this fall. Everything is official, but I am having the hardest time with this process. If a student plans to study in Spain for 90 days or longer, then they must obtain a visa. This process sounds pretty easy, but guess what??? It's the hardest thing I've had to deal with so far. In order for me to get my visa, I must take a trip to Washington, DC to wait in a line at the embassy that is only open from 9am-1pm Monday through Friday. You have to have specific documents to verify that you are going to study abroad. I have everything, except for one thing. I am waiting for my acceptance letter from La Universidad de Murcia. I have a flight arranged to go to DC on Wed. June, 3rd. The flight is non refundable, and I may not have this letter on time. I'm really freaking out! FML!

3. I'm living at home right now. I haven't lived at home in two whole years. This problem seems minor to most, but to ME, it's a big deal. Why?? Well, I live with my mother, who is very old school and likes to keep me trapped in this house all summer. She wants to know where I am all the time and who I am with. It drives me nuts, but I know she does this because she loves me a lot. So far, the summer is starting out okay at home. I went out to the club Thursday night and got home around 3AM. I thought everything was cool, but later I was questioned by my mother. Geesh. I turn 21 in July, I thought I was grown.
