"Mustang" The sublimely beautiful story of five young sisters

Readaction & Photo Courtesy agency

Early summer in a village in Northern Turkey. Five free-spirited teenaged sisters splash about on the beach with their male classmates. Though their games are merely innocent fun, a neighbor passes by and reports what she considers to be illicit behavior to the girls’ family. In reaction, the family overreacts, removing all “instruments of corruption,” like cell phones and computers, and essentially imprisoning the girls, subjecting them to endless lessons in housework in preparation for them to become brides.  As the eldest sisters are married off, the younger ones bond together to avoid the same fate.  The fierce love between them empowers them to rebel and chase a future where they can determine their own lives in Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s debut, a powerful portrait of female empowerment. Mustang is a great movie.

From the creative mind Paul Weitz, this film includes the best of the cast Lily Tomlin, Julia Garner, Marcia Gay Harden, Judy Greer, Laverne Cox, Sam Elliott, Nat Wolff, and John Cho.  Elle Reid has just gotten through breaking up with her girlfriend when her granddaughter Sage unexpectedly shows up needing 600 dollars before sundown. Temporarily broke, Grandma Elle and Sage spend the day trying to get their hands on the cash as their unannounced visits to old friends and flames end up rattling skeletons and digging up secrets.

Despite the low-budget of this great film, the family bonds are important especially with a Grandma” with strong personality and ill-tempered Elle wreaking. This is a film in which gradually will see sensitive subjects such as abortion, lesbianism, light comedy with fresh humor, satire, and many feminist politics. A simple story that reflects a deep social issues , lack of education for our youth of this times.

The Diary of a Teenage Girl is a fascinating film you can see it again and again

Like most teenage girls, Minnie Goetze (Bel Powley) is longing for love, acceptance and a sense of purpose in the world. Minnie begins a complex love affair with her mother’s (Kristen Wiig) boyfriend, “the handsomest man in the world,” Monroe Rutherford (Alexander Skarsgård). What follows is a sharp, funny and provocative account of one girl’s sexual and artistic awakening, without judgment.

The Diary of a Teenage Girl is based on Phoebe Gloeckner’s novel of the same name, hailed by Salon as “one of the most brutally honest, shocking, tender and beautiful portrayals of growing up female in America.” Although is related to a confused young woman, during 1 hr. 42 min. the spectator will enjoy many magnificent scenes from the sunshine of ’70s San Francisco. Minnie is the perfect combination of immaturity and youth full of emotions, sex and drugs so her womanhood might be inspirational or educational and parents might have a big responsibility to show the consequences of bad behavior of their children.

It is a complex film which reflects creativity of some animated images of Aline Kominsky-Crumb’s comics. This teenage girl is the only victim of a delusional mindset, little attention to her physical and psychological needs. Definitely is a film you can have a good learning and somehow create awareness that our teenagers should have the right path in life to have a happy life without having to face the misfortune that may cause the misuse of drugs or unbridled sexual life.

This show has the greatest cast of freestyle motocross, trials and quad riders ever assembled, including recent X Games 2012 medalists Ronnie Faisst, Mike Mason, Taka Higashino and Winter X Games gold and silver medalist Colten Moore. The tour also includes former gold medalists Adam Jones and Matt Buyten as well as award-winning freestylers Derek Garland, Brody Wilson, Jimmy Fitzpatrick, Wes Agee, Nick Dunne, Geoff Aaron, Keith Wineland and Marco Picado in this action-packed freestyle performance of pure danger and raw combat.

Freestyle acrobatics on road machines.  To say that this show was “energy on steroids” is putting it mildly!  Action packed, never ending excitement, pyrotechnics and stunts you would not believe. Set in the year 2150 in war-torn Los Angeles, there are two tribes of Nuclear Cowboyz: the Soldiers of Havoc and the Metal Mulisha and they’re being threatened with takeover by the Cyborg Army. The battle of good versus evil ensues through a back and forth of fearless and insane stunts on everything from motocross bikes to four wheelers and it’s all set to heavy metal and alternative music (heart thumping, really — I was totally rocked out.) The whole performance was fantastic, and very organized professional run. Two thumbs up!

Successful Relationship?

During an interview with HuffPost Live, Jada Pinkett Smith disclosed her secret to being married for 16 years with Hollywood star Will Smith. However, her secret eerily resemble characteristics of what open relationships entail. Though I admire her message of “Will as his own man,” does it entail that in order for relationships to last, monogamy gets thrown out the window?

She stated “There will be a new song, probably coming out at the end of the year,” Adele stated at the French radio station NRJ. “But then it depends how quickly I write some other new songs.” She disappointed her fans by stating that her album will not be released until next year. “If I didn’t write my own songs, I’d be out next week with a new album,” the singer added. “I have to take time and live a little bit. There were a good two years between my first and second albums, so it’ll be the same this time.” Adele take your time, because there is no one like you!
