10 of Jake Gyllenhaal's Greatest Film Performances
Jake Gyllenhaal is one of my favorite actors. Not only is he really talented, but he's also intelligent, charming and he uses his fame to support various causes to help people and the planet. He's environmentally conscious, recycles regularly, and spends $400 a year to have trees planted in a forest in Mozambique! Most notably he is the Honorary Chair of the New Eyes For The Needy Advisory Board - a charity which provides glasses for those who can't afford them. He has been donating to the cause since he was young.

The Victorious Cast Reunited! Is a New Season on the Way?
It's that time of the year again! With only less than two weeks before Christmas, people are starting to pack up and come home for the holidays. The best part of going home is undoubtedly the reunions! Jammin' with old friends, reminiscing about the good ol' days in your onesies, eating cookies and drinking some booze.

The Red Necklace Is Coming to the Big Screen! Who Should Play Our Favorite French Revolutionaries?
This past week, one of the things aiding me to finish my projects and other requirements before the dreadful finals was listening to The Red Necklace audiobook. Narrated in Tom Hiddleston's charming voice, you'll be captivated by not only the story, but how magnificent he is at giving life to each of the characters. His impressions were on point and truly fascinating! You will pause to think whether or not it really is just Tom, or other actors' voices as well.

Why Was Harry's Child Named After Snape? J.K. Rowling Explains
There are three types of opinions about Albus Severus Potter's name - lovers, haters, and in-betweeners, as J.K. Rowling put it. Harry naming his child after Albus Dumbledore is somewhat understandable, but after Severus Snape... What?!

This Former iCarly Star Just Got Married!
Oh, our pre-teen hearts! It seems like it was just yesterday when we were fighting over who suits Freddie Benson (Nathan Kress) best - Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy), his loyal, yet somewhat abusive frenemy, or Carly Shay (Miranda Cosgrove) the girl he had a crush on, like, forever (OR ourselves).

9 of Phineas and Ferb's Most Eye-Sweating Moments. Top Story - January 2018.
Before I appreciated Phineas and Ferb, I had a huge burning indifference for the show. Ironically, now I'm a huge fan. The Last Day of Summer was the final episode to tie up the whole series, and I know most of us sobbed while watching that. However there was one more special episode - and we can say that it's truly finished after watching the O.W.C.A. Files, and that's that. I bet some of us sweat through our eyes after that special.

Crimson Peak Isn't Horrifying, but It Haunted Me in My Dreams.
Spoiler Warning: Beware and proceed at your own risk especially if you haven't seen the movie. There are only very few horror movies that genuinely capture my interest. In the very least, you couldn't say that Crimson Peak belongs to the horror genre. It is Gothic romance as what director Guillermo del Toro repeatedly says.

8 Life Lessons We Learned from Donnie Darko
Richard Kelly's movie Donnie Darko left me bedazzled (but slightly confused) as a kid, and it does the same to me now. In celebration for the movie's 14th 'birthday' on October 26th, I re-watched the whole film twice - including the director's cuts.
