Jack the Giant Slayer

So last night I had a date night and I went to go see 'Jack the Giant Slayer'. So here is just my quick opinion on what I thought of it without giving too much away. On a slightly digressive note though, my last date night movie I watched was 'Warm Bodies' so I just I'm on a Nicholas Hoult kick lately! Moving on now.

One thing I want to say about this movie is while a lot of the special effects were beautifully done I feel. It was definitely overkill and it felt like when I watched the movie that it relied too heavily on special effects, similar to a lot of new movies lately. I didn't see it in 3D either but that, like other 3D movies as well are unnecessarily in 3D. Focus on the story more people and you can have a great movie!

8 Random Ways To Pay For School

I'm personally going through the struggle myself of paying for school and I've searched near and far for ways and here are some ways I've come across, some are obvious and some are unconventional.

1. Scholarships & Grants
The obvious idea is to look for scholarships and grants. They got scholarships for everything. You may not get everyone you apply for but it is totally worth it same with grants although I'm assuming most people will only try to get federal grants only.

2. Blogs
This one may not be thought of but blogging and videos. Some people make more money blogging than they do any kind of 9 to 5 job. So if you're a great writer or have something you think an audience would want to read about go for it. Don't give up however if you don't see immediate results of income it may take a while but if you can find a great niche to write about you can easily make a hefty income.

3. Youtube
Similar with blogs if you got something interesting to share with people video blog about it. You can potentially make 1000s of dollars a year by monetizing Youtube videos. Make sure the stuff you post on Youtube is 100% your content in order to make money of it.

4. Sex Sells
This is for those in desperate financial need or just have no issues with showing a little skin. If you got the body stripping can be an option. If you're REALLY comfortable you can go straight into the porn industry they have places for people of all bodies, sizes and age. If you're comfortable enough to strip but not comfortable enough to go into porn you can make money doing adult web cam shows. Pretty much anything sexual can be turned into a quick way to make money, you can make 100s sometimes even 1000s of dollars a week and do relatively short hours to get it.

5. Tutor
If you're good at a subject, especially math and science try tutoring either at your school or even through online tutoring websites. Not much you can make off of it but money is money.

6. Be An Extra In A Movie
If you're in a state that shoots movies or tv shows a lot or they happen to be shooting one near you, sign up to be an extra, they usually get around $50 a day for their work.

7. Sell Sperm/Plasma
Helps others and at the same time get paid for it. Be aware if you sell sperm you have to be ok with the idea of there being someone who is your child that you don't know running around in the world

8. McDonalds
You can get a job at McDonalds or some other fast food place. Yes, most people think working in fast food is the worst place to be (I would agree), when you need to pay for school, you sometimes got to swallow your pride and just live out the nightmare!

Pitch Perfect Movie

Lately I've been going to the movies like every week, sometimes twice a week. Last night I saw Pitch Perfect. If you liked Bridesmaids, it is like a college edition of that, just switch out the wedding concept with a glee club kind of concept. I thought the movie was hilarious, the standout was ironically Rebel Wilson, who was in Bridesmaids. I think she was given the lines that people will always be quoting in the future similar to how people always quote lines in Mean Girls.

My big concern with the movie was that since its a Gleeish kind of singing movie they'll do lame cover songs but it was some pretty legit singing in their. My two favorites were when they went all 90s hip-hop and did Blackstreet's No Diggity and they did a mashup of Price Tag by Jessie J.

I'll just keep it short and not reveal too much of what happens but good movie, definitely worth the watch and they even have a sweet, and I'm not a romantic kind of guy, romance that progresses through the film.

Sinister Movie

So the other day I saw Sinister at the movies and here is what I think of it. First I've seen a million scary movies and I knew what was going to happen in the end based on my scary movie experiences (I won't spoil it though for people who haven't seen it). Of course though when I go the movie I make funny side comments and the whole time as people were getting murdered and weird stuff was happening in the movie I was just stuck on the fact that Ethan Hawke was in the movie and much of a douche bag he was for cheating on Uma Thurman. However, I digress so the movie did admittedly have some scary moments and I'm not one to jump up at a movie but some of that stuff admittedly made my heart race. Overall it was a good movie but yet again like every scary movie if people would stop being so curious and trying to explore mysterious boxes or mysterious homes or something, then bad things wouldn't happen to them.

How To: Make A Stereotypical Scary Movie

Step 1: Above all, make sure the black, or closest to a minority character dies first.

Step 2: Have a dumb blonde or brunette white girl who is responsible for the deaths of many of the characters in the movie.

Step 3:  Include a clueless person or group of people who insist that despite the fact everyone around them is dying, that nothing is going to happen to them.

Step 4: Have a scene where a character is running through some seedy looking forest and despite there being no branches on the ground or anything the magically fall or they decide to run while looking back instead of making sure the killer won't pop out in front of them while they're running.

Step 5: Put in a dark and mysterious or strange and abandoned place where nobody has any business going to unless they are a construction crew told to tear the place down. Be sure to have a group of young naive student who just insist that its fun breaking and entering into the dark abandoned place. Another one is opening boxes that looks freaky,

Step 6: Have that one bad actor that you just wonder what the purpose of having them in the movie to begin with. *Cough* Brandy in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and Paris Hilton in House of Wax.

Step 7: Make sure the movie is like the 10th sequel to an originally good movie but 10 sequels later its just a time to build off a dead franchise by including a bunch of special effects and cliches.

Step 8: Have some attention seeking loser who decides to just kill a bunch of people instead of just getting a puppy as a friend.

Step 9: Have a person or group of people that are stupid enough to do things like say "Is anybody there?" as if the killer will pop out and say "whoops you found me, now its your turn to hide" or something like "lets all split up", that crap only works in Scooby Doo.

Step 10: Include a soundtrack with some intense violins and deep and creepy bass and overly dark visuals to the point you can't tell whats happening on the screen.

Follow those 10 steps and you'll have a stereotypical scary movie in no time.
