Arrested Skins

So Jayson and I have been watching a couple shows together. Here are two that we've been watching and my views on them.


Arrested Development: Hilarious! Watching Michael Cera grow up is just one perk. The writers of this show always seem to amaze me. It's almost painful to watch sometimes. It's like watching a car accident, you can't turn away. This family can't ever seem to catch a break. Just when you think things are going great something horribly random comes and messes things up. And each character has their quirks that totally crack me up. I think my favorite character by far is Buster..."I'm a monster!!!"


Skins: Where to begin? Well this show is very real and not like those cheesy US teen shows. The writers do a great job of connecting you to each character. It's like you can totally tell where they're coming from, even the characters you hate! This show also has crazy twists and turns. They love to shock you with reality. There's plenty of drama but not over the top and it's believable. The only drawback to this show is the language is difficult at first to keep up with. There's UK slang terms that take getting used to, but ultimately it'll make you feel cultured! Highly recommend watching this is you want to bring back that crazy youth side in you.

Wonderland of a Wimpy Kid

So I went and saw Alice in Wonderland when it came out. I definitely expected alot more based off the previews. But it was still pretty amazing, being half 3-D and half cartoon. Considering this movie has been remade and reintroduced several times, I think it was quite successful. I would totally buy this and wish i had a big screen to watch it on.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid...AMAZING! I think I was one of the only people in the theater laughing the whole time. I could relate to so much of this movie it's ridiculous. I wish I had read this when I was in middle school. It would've helped me get through some phases much faster, or maybe it would've made me think I was right to think that way. So many of the antics were just hilarious because I remember being concerned about the same type of thing when I was in 6th grade. I think I going to have buy this series.
