The Oogieloves (Goobie, Zoozie and Toofie), along with their friends J. Edgar, Windy Window and Ruffy, are organizing a party. Everything is going along just perfectly until J. Edgar trips and loses the last five magical balloons in all of Lovelyloveville—oh no! The Oogiloves set out to find the magical balloons in time to save their friend’s party. Along the way, they meet some very interesting characters indeed, including Dotty Rounder (Cloris Leachman), Bobby Wobbly (Carey Elwes), Milky Marvin (Chazz Palminteri), Rosalie Rosebud (Toni Braxton) and Lola and Lero Sombero (Christopher Lloyd and Jaime Pressly). Can these new friends help them recover the magical balloons and get back to the cottage in time to celebrate Schluufy’s surprise birthday?
The Oogieloves movie gives signs that help guide the kids with what to do – butterflies show when to stand up and be interactive, turtles show when it’s time to sit back down. Some characters are focused on love and friendship. Some of their songs are about balloons and how fun it is to get up in the morning; the others I heard are even more inane. This movie is very healthy and fun for the whole family.
Cloris leachman, one of the executive producer and actress of this movie said: “When I made this movie I thought most people won’t take it seriously but is more focused for younger audience (between 2 and 4 years old). I liked triangles so that was part of the movie too. This movie is very interactive full of songs and images in ascendant and vice versa movements. Despite of our low budget we did this including innocence and bravery so and the way that children might enjoy a movie and the characters show their best personality and support of each other for solving issues.”

Enrique Iglesias and Jennifer Lopez were together at Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA in an amazing concert!
Enrique Iglesias surprised his fans (mostly women) with hits such as “Be with You”, “Dirty Dancer”, “I like it”, “Rhythm Divine”, “Tonight” among other hits. He also was singing the most successful cover “Stand by Me” with one of his fans who went up to the stage making his participation the most original and entertaining. However, the only criticism of his performance was the lack of Spanish songs because, although the concert is in the United States, there also were Hispanic fans and Enrique did not sing any of his most successful songs in Spanish that many of his followers expected. On the other hand, women were well represented by Jennifer Lopez or JLove with a Broadway-style presentation, full of energetic dancers including her boyfriend Casper Smart, who definitely showed his dancing skills alongside JLo in “Dance Again.”
In the middle of her concert, there was a video which had several photographs and videos of her children, singing very emotional, “Until It Beats No More.” This song was full of emotions due JLo showed her maternal side and shared to the public.
Lopez made several costume changes, and made a major review of her discography, which was from his first album with “If you have my love” to recent hits like “On the floor” and “Follow the Leader”, the latter successful song, made with Wisin & Yandel, a couple of leaders of reggaeton, a music style created in Puerto Rico.

Bob Marley’s universal appeal, impact on music history and role as a social and political prophet is both unique and unparalleled. Marley is the definitive life story of the musician, revolutionary, and legend, from his early days to his rise to international superstardom. Even it has drug content, thematic elements and some violent images you can enjoy this documentary launched in DVD-blu-ray in August 7th
This movie describes life story of Bob Marley from the point of view of many different people who shared his life as well as wonderful film footage of Jamaica and old videos of Bob Marley that most people have never seen and of course it was set to the beautiful soundtrack of his life, his music of peace and struggle, love and war, happiness and sorrow. Even is a little bit long movie, his music and his faith is showed in great detail from many people close to him, including his wife, children, producers and fellow musicians, all lending their voice to unfold Bob’s story. The films compelling portrayal of Marley is told much more through the narrative drama of his life and less through a straight interpretation or celebration of his music. It’s about illuminating Marley’s roots and the trials he faced in his tragically short life. Two thumbs up for this awesome movie!

However, Jennifer Lopez draws on fantasy and urban street scenes to craft her latest video for new single “Goin’ In,” including a Red Riding Hood

Love is the triumph of imagination in “Goodbye First Love”
Review by Jenny Alvarez

Goodbye First Love, now is available in some American movie theaters since April 20th. An acutely perceptive portrait of a bright young woman in the wake of her first romance. Fifteen-year-old Camille (Lola Créton) is a serious, intensely focused girl who has fallen in love with easy-going Sullivan (Sebastian Urzendowsky), an older boy who reciprocates her feelings, mostly, but wants to be free to explore the world. When he leaves her to travel through South America, she is devastated. But over the next eight years, she develops into a more fully formed woman, with new interests and a new love—and the possibility that she’ll be less defenseless when Sullivan enters her life again. Rendering scenes that showcase her extraordinary ability to evoke moods and feelings, Hansen-Løve takes the story of a girl’s first romance and makes it into a singular experience, familiar in its broad strokes and yet so specific that it feels uniquely personal.
This movie reminds me my first relationship, my first kisses and heartbreaks. Besides, the beauty of the language, the cities, the countryside make this movie magical and realistic so It goes far beyond that, and all the emotional echoes of those moments will last for long after the relationship itself is over. However, all the heightened emotions that come with love. The fear of being rejected and abandoned is very real and must be acknowledged. It is a well structured and meaningful love movie that gives us the freedom to be who we are, loving others for who they are. In few words, when you really love deeply in one direction makes you more loving in all others. Life is full of pure love for all things that makes you capable of doing things that you consider part of your happiness.
“Hit So Hard” is out of the hole in a rockumentary
Review by Jenny Alvarez

Hit So Hard follows the rise to fame (and the near-fatal fall from it) of Patty Schemel, drummer for Courtney Love’s seminal rock band, Hole. But just three years later, the drug-related deaths of several musicians, capped by the suicide of Kurt Cobain, closed the books on an all too brief era. In a Hi-8 video camera just before Hole’s infamous Live Through This world tour, Patty captured stunningly intimate footage of the scene that has never been seen… until now. Not just an all-access backstage pass to the music that shaped a generation, Hit So Hard is a harrowing tale of overnight success, the cost of addiction, and ultimately, recovery and redemption.
Although this movie reflects all drummer’s career and struggles with addiction and how many people might be tempted into seeing the film for: namely, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. Much of Schemel’s early time with the group is focused more on Cobain than on her, and while it absolutely provides an intriguing look at an icon of music, it feels like something that would have better belonged in it’s own film, perhaps as a companion to this one. Like a minor rockumentary is very well constructed especially when Patty Schemel, the acclaimed drummer for Courtney Love’s seminal rock band Hole, reflecting her own world of sunshine, this is highly recommend for those who enjoy drummers and women musicians, now is available in some American movie theaters since April 20th.
True Happiness Comes When your 33
According to a recent study form the U.K. people reach the happiest point in their lives when their 33-years-old. At this age, people have a “can do” spirit, they are more confident, they are experienced, and sex is definitely better. “[That age] is enough time to have shaken off childhood naivety and the wild scheming of teen-aged years without losing the energy and enthusiasm of youth,” stated Donna Dawson, a psychologist. “Innocence has been lost, but our sense of reality is mixed with a strong sense of hope, a ‘can do’ spirit, and a healthy belief in our own talents and abilities.” James Franco, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Rachel McAdams are some successful 33-year-olds.
