Fortunately, I know about the 2007 movie Hairspray due to my time of living on the Mayport Naval Base. A friend from work and I both agreed to see it after noticing that it was playing at one of the movie theaters connected to a mall. Anyhow, this movie has many famous celebrities attached to the film (John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, and more celebrities featured etc). Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky) loves dancing so much and her interest with the Corny Collins show gives her an added fire and determination with her dancing. Tracy’s mother Edna Turnblad loves her daughter very much but is also a little overprotective of her at times. Overall, it is with good intentions because Edna only wants the best for Tracy without letting her get too crushed by the what ifs that could happen in life. Obviously, there is so much more to this film which is great for those who have enjoyed and/or liked the previous 1988 Hairspray film and/or enjoy watching movies that also happen to be musicals.

I eventually decided to take a chance on seeing Imitation Game after seeing it featured enough times at my job. For some strange reason, I was also curious to know more about the story behind the character (Alan Turing) that Benedict Cumberbatch was playing and the one that Keira Knight was playing (Joan Clarke). Both Turing and Clarke collaborated together during their professional/decryption work that was indirectly affiliated with helping to stop World War II. I understand that the movie is not a direct representation of what actually happened. However, one informative aspect tied into how the film carefully tied certain events into the work that they were doing (such as the heart-wrenching scene where Turing has to tell his coworker that they must withhold certain news even with the lucid awareness of one of their family members being on a certain sub). Additionally,I know that you are not supposed to use Wikipedia (academically speaking) as a guaranteed reference. However, if the birthdates cited are correct, it is interesting to note that their birthdays were just one day apart from each other (Clark and Turing’s birthdates). Anyhow, this is a good movie for those who are open to watch films indirectly related to key events in history and/or a case study in a person who did their best to endure being different from others in a time period that appeared to show contempt towards anybody outside of the mainstream.

I have been wanting to see the Pursuit of Happyness film since around 2006/2007 when I was living on the Mayport Naval base in Florida. I’m glad that I finally got the chance to see this motivational film that also had equal moments of heart string pulling and tear jerking scenes. As many know, Pursuit of Happyness stars Will Smith as Chris Gardner and Smith’s real-life son Jaden Smith as the child. Thandie Newton also is one of the celebrities included in the film. One of the heart string pulling scenes is where the character of Chris Gardner and his son are shown waiting along with what looks to be several hundred other people waiting in line for homeless housing, but the shelter could only house around 50 people (an indirect commentary on the number of homeless shelters available in the U.S.). One of the employees of the homeless shelter is seen having to do the difficult job of announcing to the many waiting that they have now reached their daily cutoff, leaving the obvious impression that others are going to have to try elsewhere and/or again the next day. On an unrelated note, I especially can’t help but have feeling around this issue after unexpectedly running into a female who was homeless (less than a year ago), but was at least happy to have got a spot at a nearby homeless shelter and a job as an event planning assistant even as she was trying to qualify for public housing (which was obviously going to be a possible but tricky feat for her because she appeared to be both childfree and single). I only say that because it is common knowledge that the circumstances and probability of being able to qualify for public housing are different for those who have children compared to those who voluntarily chose to not have children. Without revealing her identity, the only other thing I feel comfortable in disclosing is that it appeared to me that she had previously actually lived in D.C., based on what she told me and where I ran into her (I wish to avoid disclosing for the sake of the review and my conscience on what is ok to reveal about that encounter). The ending of the Pursuit of Happyness gives the following data; After beginning his career at Dean Witter, Chris Gardner went on to open the investment firm Gardner Rich in 1987. Chris Gardner himself then makes a brief appearance in the film. Then the following other info; In 2006, Chris Gardner sold a minority stake in his brokerage firm in a multi-million dollar deal.

![Winx Club: The Original Season 1, Vol. 1 - Realm of Magix [2 Discs] [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
This sparkling release from the animated series Winx Club includes the final 13 episodes of the show's first season, following the story of four fairies enrolled at a magical college in the mystical dimension of Magix.

The Winx Club Enchantrix Volume 1 (Season 1) has multiple episodes that touch on uplifting themes of magic, wisdom, and friends. For instance, episodes two through four deal with one of the characters coming to terms with breaking a curse placed on her by first being at the acceptance level of who she already is, even if her physical appearance is not accepted and/or celebrated among others. I’m fortunate to have also watched and previously enjoy a spin off movie related to this series (Winx Club Magical Adventure). I also like how the Winx Club series plays on the ideas of different worlds. Yes, I know that this is a kid’s series, but these cartoons are also good to watch for those looking to boost their creativity and/or character development for writing stories, movie/play scripts scripts/journals for law of attraction exercises/processes etc.

LalaLoopsy Festival of Sugary Sweets is also another enjoyable movie for all ages groups and/or those looking for creative inspiration and/or ideas for recreational writing (personal journal/scripts for law of attraction exercises) and/or writing towards stories and/or movie/play scripts. Lalaloopsy Festival of Sugary Sweets is an uplifting 45 minute film about a group of characters who get together and collaborate in baking various various culinary creations for a festival/contest coming up. One of the characters is seen going through various adventures just to get a sugar replacement for some recipes that are going to be in the contest. The characters cooking for the contest also have assistants (in the form of their playful pets) helping them bake and create their sweet confections. The cartoon is very bright in both mood/colors and contains a healing hidden message of what can happen in regards to being receptive to benevolent help.

Music Anthems To Making The Best Out Of Life
on May 26, 2015

I admit that hearing some of the songs by Martin Solveig on iheartradio compelled me to give Smash by Martin Solveig a chance. Of course as a result of this, I enjoy the Night Out and We Came To Smash In A Black Tuxedo are some of my fave songs on this cd. However, there are other fun songs on Smash by Martin Solveig such as Hello, Ready To Go, Big In Japan, Racer 21. Smash by Martin Solveig is perfect for those who are looking for uplifting club music with the tone/mood of having fun in life and/or looking on the bright side of life.

A State of Simultaneous Peace/High Energy
on May 26, 2015

A State of Trance 2015 (Mixed by Armin Van Buuren) is another solid set featuring various artists because of his vast feature of various artists across different songs such as Shine (Aly & Fila feat. Roxanne Emery),Mino Safy for When The Sun Smiles, Pegasus by Protoculture, The Edge by Orjan Nilsen etc. I also enjoy that the compilation starts of energetically with Going Home (Gareth Emery radio edit). There are other meaningful songs on A State of Trance 2015 collection by Armin Van Buuren (which is also good for those who are open to listening to trance/club music interspersed with spiritual/life themes).

Icon by Heart is another find I’m lucky to have unintentionally discovered at my job. This cd was only somewhere between 5-8 dollars and contains a multiple number of their classic hits such as These Dreams, track number 6, track number 9, Magic Man etc (I forgot the exact amount because it has been at least 2-3 months since I purchased this cd). I first heard of them around the age of 6 or 7 when they played on the radio when I was still living in Wisconsin. I also frequently heard music by Heart growing up because a multiple number of their songs were featured on the radio on Illinois and I also discovered some of their music through tv.

I admit that I’m late to the party of purchasing Listen by David Guetta because I did not buy this cd until January 30th of this year (which was also after hearing his music featured on the radio, Pandora, iheartradio etc). I admit that Dangerous, Lovers On The Sun, and Hey Mama are some of the multiple tracks that I’m enjoying on the Listen compilation right now (I’m not ashamed to admit its partially because I heard these songs also featured on the radio). However, there is something for everybody on this Listen because of the various artists featured on this cd (Sia Ryan Tedder, Emeli Sande, The Script, Bebe Rexha, Magic & Sonny Wilson etc.). I admit that I like the inclusion of his collaborations with other artists on Listen because of his previous tracks which are also collaborations; Who’s That Chick (feat. Rihanna), Turn Me On (feat. Nicki Minaj), Commander and When Love Takes Over (feat. Kelly Rowland), Titanium (feat. Sia), Bad Girl (feat. Taio Cruz and Ludacrais). Listen by David Guetta is perfect for those who like club/dance music feat. various artists.

Made In Heaven is a film starring Kelly McGillis as initially Annie Packert and Timothy Hutton initially as Mike Shea. The character of Mike Shea dies via drowning after attempting to save some people from being trapped in an automobile. Shea was on his way to California before his death and had just been dumped by his girlfriend. Mike Shea dies and is then greeted in heaven by his Aunt Lisa (Maureen Stapleton). His aunt explains to him how heaven works and he soon goes about seeing what heaven is like for himself. He soon meets a spirit named Annie and unexpectedly falls in love with her. Annie ends up reincarnating back on earth just as her and Mike were mapping out their life together in heaven. Anyhow, the spirit of Mike Shea petitions with one of heaven’s guides named Emett (Debra Winger) in order to reincarnate back on earth. The reason being is because he obviously loves Annie dearly and appears to naturally be hesitant to wait the length of another human lifetime just to be with her. There are multiple guest appearances from other celebrities in Made In Heaven As Well (Tom Petty, Ric Ocasek from the Cars, Ellen Barkin, and Neil Young). This film is best for those who like romantic movies with a spiritual slant.
