TED TALK CHALLENGE!!!!

This challenge starts November 1st until November 30th.

What is TED Talk? It's many videos and talks that spread ideas globally. They all are different and talk about different ideas.

While this challenge only works if I can get random videos so I've signed up to get recommends and even daily videos... I will share the video via the site or YouTube... which ever works better for you all... I'm hoping these videos would all be available on YouTube so that I can share it there.

Now the next question... Why is it relevant to Pop Culture? Simple... you'll be surprise what you might find on the world wide web... or Internet to those who want to know. Some of the videos are people who are into Pop Culture so that is why....

I will not only be sharing the videos here but on my personal blog, A Faerie Journey as well as on my personal FB page and on my twitter.

I want people to join in with this challenge because you never know what you might find.

For now... I'll see you during the challenge...

My Review on Horror Movie Challenge

This one was interesting to see... only one movie was able to scare me a bit... but barely.

Horror movies are wide and far... can be funny or scary as heck. It just depends on what you might watch.

Sadly, this challenge was only for a Halloween special which will end today as I post this.

Next year, it will be all about horror TV shows... so keep an eye out on that next year.

This challenge was fun to do but I don't dare to do this often xD However, when there's a challenge where it comes to random movies, it will be different.

Who knows... maybe you all enjoyed the Halloween of horrors too...

So for now... Happy Halloween everybody!

See you all on another challenge starting November 1st.

Eight Mexican directors unite to bring tales of the most brutally terrifying Mexican traditions and legends to vividly shocking life. MEXICO BARBARO presents haunting stories that have been woven into the fabric of a nation s culture, some passed down through the centuries and some new, but all equally frightening. Stories of boogeymen, trolls, ghosts, monsters, Aztec sacrifices, and of course the Day of the Dead all come together in urban and rural settings to create an anthology that is as original as it is familiar and as important as it is horrifying.

Did It Scared Me?

Well, not scary. But interesting.

 Not really but it was interestingly creepy.

What I Thought of It? 

It starts out with a little boy finding something in the ocean then things kind of went weirder from that. It's not much a horror but it did seemed a bit creepy. Just watch the movie yourself to figure out what in the world is going on.

Did It Scared Me?

WTF WAS THAT? XD Almost scared me xD

What I Thought of It? 

It's not apparent until the end what is going on with this movie. I know it starts out with a guy trying to make show about surviving but something else happens. You just have to watch it to figure out. This... this did a thing to me almost xD

What I Thought of It?

A Reminder

I don't usually post this on this blog but there are things that I need to say... if you are a reader... why are you reading and commenting things about God when in fact, all I am doing is watching movies that aren't even real.

I don't know about you all... but I would love to keep this blog religious free. Thank you. Only time that it would is if I am watching something or listening to something that is religious.

If you felt the need to tell me something about God... please refrain from this. That's not hard to do.

Sadly, I am deeply agnostic. Meaning... Yes, I believe there is something unknown with the higher power but no, I don't believe there's just that one God. So... you can see why I would love it very much if you would stop commenting about God on things that is harmless.

Thank you.

The Owner.

Horror Movie Day 11: Hush

About:

Did It Scared Me?

It didn't scared me but it was a good movie.

What I Thought of It? 

 Who wouldn't want to be alone with a serial killer on the lose? Not me. It's a good movie but just didn't had that scared factor nor the creepy factor like most horror movies have been giving me. All in all, I do love how the ending turns out. Just watch it and you figure out what I mean by that. 

Horror Movie Day 10: Demonic

About:

A police officer and a psychologist investigate the deaths of five people who were killed while trying to summon ghosts.

Did It Scared Me?

Not really but I don't really like demonic type of movies... seriously though...

What I Thought Of It?

It started out with news of a crime that happened years ago... and then it shows a new crime that happened almost like the other crime... but the ending... well, you just have to see it yourself to figure out what happened at the end. It was a good movie but I just don't like movies about summoning the demon and stuff...    

Horror Movie Day 9: Raw

Did It Scared Me?

No but it sure was... gross. Makes me think twice about raw meat...

What I Thought of It? 

 The movie started out normal... but then it gets more gross through out the whole entire movie. I find it... repulsive because it had scenes where people ate nothing but... raw meat... and it just gets worse from there which I will not reveal at all yet.

Horror Movie Day 8: I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House

About:

A young nurse takes care of elderly author who lives in a haunted house.

What I Thought Of It? 

This movie is the type that you really have to watch it to the end. It ended really good in a creepy way. I think this is one of the most brilliant creepy movie that I ever seen in my life. I do suggest people to watch this movie if you want something that might be creepy and scary.

What I Thought of It?

What I Thought Of It? 

This movie shows that you can't mess with the unknown. It was creepy af and I will not be watching this again. I think it shows that you have to tell the truth without realizing it.  I'm glad for the ending but seriously... not gonna watch it again xD 

Horror Movie Day 5: Hypersomnia

About:

A young actress rehearsing for a play about human trafficking begins to relive terrifying scenes that may be dreams -- or an alternate reality.

Did It Scared Me?

Just wanted to say... this movie did creep me out... Dang those bugs... always the bugs. 

What I Thought of It? 

The concept of this movie was actually interesting to watch. It seems that the main character finds something very interesting in the end and it's just a good movie to watch. Even though it was made from Argentina, it's the understand with subtitles. 

Horror Movie Day 4: Lechmi

About:

Did It Scared Me?

Not scary at all. In fact, I don't understand how this is a horror movie xD

What I Thought Of It? 

India has very interesting movies and this is one of them. It's interesting to watch but it's definitely not a horror movie. I'm glad to watch something different and stuff... but I just kind of wish it was a horror... enough to scare me. Ah, well... We'll see as I continue to watch more movies for this month.

Did It Scared Me?

Asian movies are often scary as heck but this one wasn't that scary enough to even scare me xD

What I Thought Of It? 

It's a movie about a ghost who was wronged. All in all, the ending really surprised me a whole lot on this movie. I think this is a good movie to watch even though it's from Asia. In fact, Asian movies can be really scary so I hope this challenge brings me more scary movies to watch.

Horror Movie Day 1: Visions

About: After moving to a vineyard with her family, a pregnant woman experiences horrifying visions.

Did It Scared Me?

Nope. Didn't even scared me at all xD Mostly intense type of movie.

How Real It Seemed? 

It's actually a real thing... there are reports of what happened in the movie. Not the visions... just watch the whole entire movie to see. I think it's an alright movie but it was intense and not that scary at all xD
