♡ Movie Review: Pacific Rim ♡

To make up for my lack of posts lately, here's a short but sweet movie review!

I saw PR just yesterday with a friend and I had mixed expectations with it. When I first watched the trailer, I had no intentions of seeing it because it looked like a knock-off Transformers movie, but since then I'd only heard positive reviews about it. I decided to go ahead and see it because I absolutely love action movies.

It exceeded my expectations, and I liked it! I thought the plot was a little too simple and it was completely predictable but watching massive robots and monsters fighting to the death was worth paying to see it.

This movie is about an apocalypse in progress. Giant monsters, "kaijus", were being sent to earth from their own universe to destroy our planet through orders, having done so with other worlds already. we developed fighting robots to defeat the kaijus after learning that "regular" weapons such as tanks, guns, planes, etc. took too long to take them down. The robots, "jaegers", are controlled by two people from their interior by being connected to the actual robot and "drifting" both of the people's minds together, making one mind, essentially. it naturally also had some funny moments!
I thought that was an interesting twist rather than just have two people physically control the robot; their joined minds were needed as well.
I won't give the whole plot away, but it's a movie I'd recommend you see if you like action movies!

I give it 3.5 out of 5!

♡ What I've Been Listening To: 2 ♡

Hi, guys! I haven't had enough time to write about anything extensive because I leave for Cancun soon (2 more days!!) so here's another music post! Enjoy!

Calvin Harris//I Need Your Love ft. Ellie Goulding

I usually never listen to the radio or like any "popular" songs unless it's by an artist that I already love, but I'm obsessed with this song. I've liked Ellie for awhile and I love her unusual voice and this song is so catchy that I couldn't help but keep listening to this on my phone and in the car on the radio! I've actually listened to this song nonstop so much recently that I'm sick of it, but I thought it needed to be included in this list since i've loved it to death.

Paramore//Misery Business & Crushcrushcrush

Paramore reminds me of 7th and 8th grade and I've been listening to these two throwback songs repeatedly over the past week or so. I still love Paramore and I completely appreciate their newest album, but sometimes I just need to listen to their old music and feel like I'm 13 again. I still love it!

Beyoncé//1+1

I think I might've mentioned this in my first music post, but I love beautiful, powerful voices like Beyonce's, Ariana Grande's, etc. I actually only recently listened to this song for the first time and it's an extremely simple song, but B's voice is especially amazing because of it.

♡ What I've Been Listening To ♡

Hi, guys! Here's just a list and description of some artists and/or songs I've been loving lately!

Charli XCX//Nuclear Seasons

Charli's very Marina and the Diamonds-ish, sound wise. I saw her perform this song live this past spring and I'm addicted. Along with this song, check out You (Ha Ha Ha) by her!

Ariana Grande//The Way and Emotions

This song's been everywhere on the radio and I've loved it since I heard the leaked version on tumblr. Ariana has a similar voice/sound to Mariah Carey and this is just a happy, "pretty" song to listen to.

As for "Emotions",  Ariana did a cover on the song originally by Mariah. I personally like the cover better, and Ariana's voice is just beautiful in this song.

Paramore//Now

I've been a fan of Paramore since "Misery Business" released and I bought this entire album immediately when I could. I particularly like "Now" and Hayley Williams is definitely one of my favorite singers to listen to.

Lana Del Rey//Young and Beautiful

I think this song is just perfect. Lana's voice is completely unique, beautiful, and even a little haunting. I meant to listen to this song when it first released but the first time I heard it was when I was watching The Great Gatsby, which this song is basically the theme song to. It's incredibly romantic, but might not suit everybody's taste. I love it though!
