2011 Teen Choice Awards

I just finished watching the 2011 Teen Choice Awards.

Were you able to watch it?

I think it's crazy how these award shows and making posts about them kind of indicate how much time has already passed. Next thing we know, we'll be blogging about the Oscars again = crazy!

Okay, now that I've said that... let's talk about the 2011 Teen Choice Awards. Oh wait, I have a story -- so my younger siblings all made accounts on the Teen Choice website so they can vote, and I wanted to vote too so I started making my own account. At the back of my mind, I was already thinking that maybe I can't vote because I'm not a teenager anymore, but when I entered my birth date, the year 1990 was part of the choices = hooray! So, there I was all happy that I can vote... but when I clicked done, they told me I am "not eligible" because I am not a teen. :(

But oh well, it's okay, that didn't stop me from making sure my siblings voted for Harry Potter in every category they were nominated for. ;)

Anyway, okay, red carpet... blue carpet!

Rachel Bilson - white ruffled Chloe dress and Brian Atwood booties

I loved this look! I think it's very appropriate for the kind of award show that Teen Choice is. I love how fresh, fun, simple, and youthful this look is.

Maggie Q - Max Mara halter sheath and two-tone pumps

She looks fantastic!

Katie LeClerc - BCBG dress and Sergio Rossi heels

Switched at Birth is now one of my favorite TV shows! Katie is very talented... and beautiful!

Elizabeth Banks - J. Mendel dress and Edie Parker clutch

She looks amazing! I love how she made her dress really stand out by keeping everything else simple.

Avril Lavigne - head-to-toe Abbey Dawn

Very simple. Nothing crazy. I like it.

I probably won't wear the shoes though, but they are so Avril.

Fergie - Dolce & Gabbana dress and Christian Louboutin heels

Fergie makes the look work!

Demi Lovato - BCBG Max Azria dress and Christian Louboutin shoes

Not my favorite look, but it doesn't matter. I'm glad that Demi looks beautiful, happy, and healthy! :)

And those shoes = wow!

Blake Lively - Gucci dress, leopard print Louboutin stilettos, and Lorraine Schwartz jewels

I actually like the dress, and I think she looks gorgeous as always, but the shoes and the jewelry are making the whole ensemble kinda off.

JoJo - Marco Marco dress with Penelope and Coco pumps

I didn't really see her on the actual show, and I didn't even know she was there until I saw her blue carpet photos. :/ I wish they made her sing (instead of Selena Gomez... peace to all Selena fans, but her voice is nothing compared to JoJo's).

Taylor Swift - Rafael Cennamo halter dress, Ranjana Khan belt, silver Fendi peeptoes, and Neil Lane jewels

I think she looks pretty and her dress is pretty, but I'm not too crazy about this look.

Anyway, I wonder how awkward tonight must've been for Taylor... Joe Jonas was there, along with his other ex-girlfriends Demi Lovato and Ashley Greene (who sat next to Taylor!). Taylor Lautner was there, and we all know Back to December was written for him. Taylor Swift also went out a couple of times with Cory Monteith and Chord Overstreet (who were both there!). And of course, there's this whole Selena dumped her bff Demi to become bffs with Taylor thing. :/

Selena Gomez - Erin Fetherston mini-dress and Brian Atwood stilettos

I am not her biggest fan, but I usually like her style (or her stylist's style, haha!)... but this look is just too all over the place for me. It's not my favorite.

Nina Dobrev - Dolce & Gabbana gingham dress, Dolce & Gabbana clutch, Salvatore Ferragamo pumps, and Ippolita jewels

I think she's pretty and I love her hair and makeup. The dress is okay, but the print reminds me of an apron. :(

Ashley Greene - black and white Givenchy dress, strappy heels, and Neil Lane jewels

I like her hair and makeup... and yeah, that's it. The rest of the look is just not working, at least in my opinion.

Zooey Deschanel - Miu Miu pumps, tan floral tank dress with black lace trimming

I don't like the look, but I like her!

Zoe Saldana - Lanvin dress, Alexander McQueen shoes, Salvatore Ferragamo clutch, Jamie Wolf bangles, Lana earrings, and Carla Amorim ring

I'm undecided about this look. But I think I dislike it more than I like it. :/

Raven-Symone - black blazer, harem pants, and black pumps

I guess it's okay, but I'm still waiting for her to wear something really "Wow, that's beautiful!".

Nikki Reed - Etro halter dress and a Ferragamo clutch

This look would've worked... if she wore a different dress. :/

Tyra Banks - Thierry Mugler tube-top body suit

I don't understand. I am so confused.

Why, Tyra, why???

The Kardashians (and Jenners and Odoms)

I think it's cool that they brought Lamar's kids with them.

Khloe - Roberto Cavalli dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, Ferragamo clutch, Loren jewelry

Kim - Givenchy dress, Louboutin heels, Bottega Veneta clutch, Lorraine Schwartz jewels

Kourtney - Blaque Label dress, Louboutin shoes, Chanel clutch, Loren jewelry

Apl.de.ap, Fergie, and Taboo -

I love The Black Eyed Peas!

Shane West!!!

I'm gonna watch A Walk to Remember again, haha! ;)

Justin Bieber -

I'm gonna say this now because I don't think I will ever really blog about Justin Bieber. He is talented and I admit, I know the words to his songs... but lately, whenever I see him, all I see is a rich and famous teenager who thinks he is all that. And I think his and Selena's PDA is more nauseating than cute. Sorry, Beliebers and Selena fans, peace! But yeah, I don't think I'll ever say this, but I prefer Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart over Justin and Selena.

Anyway, HARRY POTTER was a huge winner tonight!

I am loving Rupert's "I <3 LA" shirt!

Daniel Radcliffe live via satellite:

Whose look did you like the best? Whose did you not like at all?

If you watched it, what did you think of the show?

I wish all of you a wonderful week ahead! :D

What new movies are you looking forward to?

Hi, everyone! :D

Now that I've seen Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (and had some time to get over it... okay, I'll admit, I'm still not over it and I will probably never get over it, haha!), here are a couple of movies that I am looking forward to:

1. Paranormal Activity 3 -- I've seen Paranormal Activity 1 and 2 - I wasn't too crazy about the first one, but the second one was pretty good. I definitely want to see where and how all the paranormal activity began.

2. Margin Call -- I'm usually more into romantic comedies, but I do watch serious movies from time to time, and Margin Call looks like a really good one - plus, the cast is fantastic!

3. New Year's Eve -- I've seen a lot of comments on different websites about how this is just Valentine's Day all over again with the all-star ensemble and the story being centered on one specific day, and it probably will be the same, but that won't stop me from watching this movie... and I happen to love Valentine's Day. :)

I'm just not too sure about scruffy Ashton Kutcher being paired with Lea Michele? Hmmm... but who knows, right? Watching the trailer is making me all excited for Christmas and New Year's. :D

4. Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows -- I loved the first Sherlock Holmes, so I am excited to see this movie. I'm just a little sad that Rachel McAdams won't be in this one, but hey, Noomi Rapace (aka Lisbeth Salander) will keep Holmes and Watson company. :)

5. The Hunger Games -- I just want to say thanks to all the bloggers who tirelessly blogged about The Hunger Games trilogy. :) If I didn't hear about it from you guys, I probably wouldn't have read all three books, so thanks!

No trailer yet, but they do have this awesome movie poster:

*I hope it's doing the whole burning thing right now...*

Oh, and Entertainment Weekly released new stills from the movie!!!

Katniss and Gale

Ummm, I am liking Katniss' boots and jacket! :)

Is it just me, or are her hunting clothes a bit too pretty? Haha. ;)

Peeta!

When they first announced that Josh Hutcherson was cast as Peeta Mellark, I wasn't quite sure if it was going to work... but hello, that is so Peeta! Well, at least from how I imagined it...

Way to go, Josh Hutcherson!

Gale and Peeta

Soooo excited! :D

Which of these movies are you most excited to see?

Yay, it's Friday tomorrow! :)

Harry Potter... IT ALL ENDS. Give me more Kleenex!

Happy Friday!

So yup, after months of waiting, the day has finally come... it truly is the end of an era. *Sigh*

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 has already earned $126 million -- it hasn't even been in theatres for a full 24 hours... simply phenomenal. Okay, I should warn you guys, I'm probably gonna be gushing about Harry Potter for the remainder of this post. ;)

All the actors in this movie did a brilliant job (well, maybe Bonnie Wright could've done a better job at the bridge scene and the "19 years later" scene, but it's okay, I still loved the movie!).

Daniel Radcliffe did an amazing job. I am convinced that he is really Harry Potter, I mean who else would Harry Potter be besides Daniel Radcliffe, right? Haha, I hope that made sense.

"How dare you stand where he stood. Tell them what happened that night. Tell them how you looked him in the eye. A man who trusted you, and killed him!"

Rupert Grint... he's always been my favorite!!!

He can make you laugh and cry at the same time.

Emma Watson... the girl can do no wrong. One of her scenes made me tear up... I'm not gonna say which one though. ;)

And of course, the Ron and Hermione kiss! Some people say it wasn't good enough, but hey, we waited ten long years for that, so I am not complaining... now if only Rupert and Emma can be a real-life couple, haha. ;)

Matthew Lewis - I know the web has been all abuzz with how dashing our dear Neville Longbottom is in real life... come on, have you seen his recent red carpet photos?

I love how Neville shined in his own way in this movie. Yay, Neville! :D

Voldie, Voldie, Voldie... greatest villain of all time! Ralph Fiennes, you are amazing!

Snaaaaaape, I always knew you were good!

The flashbacks that explained Snape's background were a bit hurried, and it's probably confusing to those who haven't read the book, but I think they did it the best way they could. Alan Rickman is absolutely brilliant, I wonder why he's never been nominated for an Oscar...

Professor McGonagall!!! I love her.

"Potter, it's good to see you."

Fred and George -- my favorite twins ever!

Tom Felton... I love how well he portrayed Draco - Tom can make you hate him in one scene, and pity him in another.

Not gonna lie, it's not the same without Crabbe...

(No offense to the new guy, though... he was a good replacement.)

Our favorite witch and wizards. :)

I really hope they have more movies to come after Harry Potter. These three can totally be the next Colin Firth and Hugh Grant and Kate Winslet. ;)

Ten years, wow, ten years... what am I supposed to do now? No more Harry Potter books or movies to look forward to. :(

I was only 11 years old when this started, I honestly feel like I grew up with them... well, I did in a way. :)

Anyway, the movie... It's the kind of movie that will make you feel excited, make you cheer, make you laugh and cry, make you feel nostalgic, make you sad, make you feel happy -- it will probably evoke every kind of emotion there is. It was fast-paced, action-packed, and you can tell everyone involved in it did their best to give us the best ending possible - an ending that gives justice to this epic saga. I wish they added more dialogue to the "19 years later" though, but I understand it's a long book - and despite that, I still think they did an amazing amazing job with the movie. It's a beautiful ending to a beautiful story. And yet I still can't believe it's over!!!

Excuse me while I get some more Kleenex...

Do you need to dry your tears too? Well then, let's watch this funny video! :)

Robert Pattinson -- American? Whaaat?! Haha.

I think it will be easy for Tom Felton to get American roles, how excellent is his American accent? Rupert's expression when he asked if the Chips Ahoy were really chewy is priceless!

Have you seen Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2? Thoughts? (without spoiling anything though, haha) ;)

I love Harry Potter! :D

Happy Friday!!! :D

If you've read a lot of my older posts, you probably remember me telling you guys countless times how much I love Harry Potter. Haha, and here I am again with yet another Harry Potter post. ;)

What do you guys think of Pottermore?

------------------------------------

The last movie is almost here -- there are posters everywhere! And I can't get enough of these two trailers! ;)

I have goosebumps and I'm teary-eyed.

I think I'm seriously gonna cry! Haha. ;P

Harry Potter fans -- Are you guys excited???!!! :D

How will you be spending your weekend?

I hope you guys have a fantastic one! :D

Movie: The Tourist

Happy Wednesday!

I've had some free time over the past week to watch some movies, and of course, time to share them with you guys. :)

One of the movies I watched was the much joked about The Tourist.

During an impromptu trip to Europe to mend a broken heart, Frank unexpectedly finds himself in a flirtatious encounter with Elise , an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Paris and Venice, their whirlwind romance quickly evolves as they find themselves unwittingly thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse.

***from Yahoo! Movies***

Although the critics and movie reviews weren't so good to The Tourist (not to mention Ricky Gervais and his jokes when he hosted the Golden Globes), I still thought it was a fun movie to watch. Did they deserve a Golden Globe for their performance? No, but why should it matter so much when they didn't even win, right???

The Tourist is not as action-packed as other Angelina Jolie or Johnny Depp films. It's not like Wanted or Salt or Mr. and Mrs. Smith, that's for sure... but I think that's the charm of this movie: it's a bit more mellow, but still exciting (and funny!). :)

Angelina Jolie looked absolutely beautiful! And her clothes and jewelry = wow!

It was refreshing to see her as kick-ass, but graceful and vulnerable at the same time.

Johnny Depp, on the other hand, played his character really well. He played every bit the college professor/ American tourist that his character is. He's funny and endearing -- I'm not a fan, but I loved him in this movie!

And even if you are not a big Angelina Jolie or Johnny Depp fan, just seeing Venice (and some of Paris) is worth sitting through this movie. :)

I want to go to Venice! ;)

I'm not gonna say anything more other than I don't regret seeing this movie. It was good. :D

Have you seen The Tourist? Any thoughts?

Flashback Friday: Casper

Flashback Friday: Casper!!! :D

I love this movie!

"Can I keep you?" ;)

I don't think I know anyone who did not have a crush on Devon Sawa! Haha. ;)

I hope you guys are having a fantastic weekend! :D

Two more weeks until the royal wedding?! :O

Wow, where did the months go?!

It feels like it was just yesterday when everyone started talking about the royal engagement, and now there's two more weeks to go until the royal wedding? Wow.

I am not overly obsessed, and I know some may be sick of it already, but it really is an exciting thing to see. Very fascinating.

Here are some royal wedding news from People magazine... most of these are old news now, but I just thought you guys might want to see and read about them. :D

The Lifetime movie William & Kate will be shown on Monday, April 18th. I don't know how much of it is accurate, but it would just be fun to watch it. Lifetime movies can be cheesy, but I must admit, once you start watching them, you can't just not know the ending! Haha. ;)

Have a fantastic weekend! :D
