Adam Lambert:  For Your Entertainment
For Your Entertainment is the first album by American Idol winner Adam Lambert.  On the album Lambert experiments with variations of rock and pop sounds.  The title track off of the album has been received pretty well by most critics.  The album has a song for everyone everywhere and is a fun experiment on Lambert’s end.

***

Rihanna: Rated R
The first singles from Rihanna’s junior effort were lackluster in sales and sound.  However, after repetitive listening of the singles there is a catchy element to them all.  The album is full of catchy tunes and R&B/Pop/Rock elements.  Be aware that the album is called “Rated R” for a reason and doesn’t portray Rihanna as the “Little Miss Sunshine” Jay-Z named her to be.

***

Lady GaGa: The Fame Monster
This album is calling to be considered Lady GaGa’s sophomore effort and it well deserves it.  The new album comes with Lady GaGa’s debut album The Fame and a separate disc containing all-new music representing her sophomore effort Monster as well as all new cover art work.  A classic, creative, and awe-inspiring performer, this album supplies us with more amazing GaGa material.  It is GaGa’s signature Pop genre with a dark and creative twist.

****

Beyoncé: I Am…Yours
This is a three disc boxed set including two live-music discs and one DVD video of Beyoncé’s I Am…Sasha Fierce Concert recorded in Las Vegas.  The song selections are more intimate and the concert is a lot more intimate than her other tour dates around the world.  This is definitely a Beyoncé fan must have and everyone else’s must see.

***

Jay Sean: All or Nothing
A fresh sound in the R&B world has come into play.  Jay Sean has already made noise around the world with his single Down and now Do You Remember.  The album in its entirety sounds like an R&B record that is bound for the repeat button.

****

Shakira: She Wolf
Shakira successfully crossed over into English music with her album Laundry Service.  She has now gone from Oral Fixation to the new album She Wolf.  She Wolf is Shakira at her best with experimentation on the Hip-Hop and Pop turf.  She embraces the original she is and brings new hits song after song.

***

Angie Stone: Unexpected
Having shied away from the spotlight time and again, Angie Stone has always produced good soul music.  On this album Angie Stone takes a different turn continuing to be reminiscent of her soul sound but including variations of R&B and Pop throughout her album.  This album has select songs that will rock your soul and some that are lackluster and dismissive.

**

Boyz II Men: Love
It’s as though they never left.  Boyz II Men release Love in hopes that their old fan base rises from the ashes again while aspiring to gain more fans.  Though it is a great effort, unless you followed Boyz II Men from the rise of their career this album will affect you little to none.

**

Beyoncé: I Am…Sasha Fierce [Deluxe Edition] (Re-release)
Beyoncé re-releases I Am…Sasha Fierce with two bonus songs not present on the previous Deluxe Edition.  Though the album was a hit amongst many of her fans, the re-release strikes no new cord and is an unnecessary replica.  If you haven’t purchased the album at all or heard any of her songs, which I highly doubt, the money is well worth it.  All in all, look for the two new songs Poison and the Video Phone Remix featuring Lady GaGa on iTunes, Amazon, and Rhapsody sold separately. There’s no need for a whole other set of the same album.

Coming to Theaters…

2012

If you’ve ever thought the world was coming to an end anytime soon, this would definitely be the movie for you.  The movie is a spectacle of special effects, impossible situations, and an aftermath of chronic depression.  If you want to cry or question all of the choices you have made thus far in life, simply make a trip to your nearest theatre for an epic dose of depressing visuals.  The action in this movie is non stop and embedded within a simplistic storyline.  From the director of The Day after Tomorrow comes another preposterously slightly entertaining epic.

***

Precious

A gritty story based on a novel is delivered with Oscar-worthy performances.  Much of the cast are unexpected breakout hits with the audiences almost instantly.  During this film, the audience cannot help but to connect with the characters in one or another and become emotionally enthralled.  However, Precious touches on sensitive topics of abuse, rape, and much more so it is recommended for mature audiences seeking an unforgettable experience.  This is a movie that supplies trending conversation and intense visuals; be prepared for a story that literally jumps out of the pages.

****

Where the Wild Things Are

Where the Wild Things Are is a gripping bedtime storybook, but once transferred to film it became an emotionally gripping tale on personality and compatibility.  The film takes you on a journey and exploration of complex personality and undeniable entertainment.  Within the tale there are an abundant amount of laughs for children’s enjoyment as well as adults.  This is a film for everyone that is worthy of DVD and Blu-Ray purchase once available; you’ll want to see the movie again and again for the compelling lessons and characters.

****

COMING TO DVD… November, 24 2009

Angels & Demons

Serving as the prequel to 2006’s The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons serves up much of the same antics represented in The Da Vinci Code.  If you are a follower of Dan Brown’s books and movies then this is a must own DVD.  However, if the first movie was the first time you had ever seen Dan Brown’s name, then you’d probably just be better off renting this movie too.

***

Funny People

One of the longest dragged out story lines in history is not worth the wait or money.  Funny People delivered minimal laughs and loads of cramps in the movie theatre seats.  If you are desperate for Adam Sandler or Eric Bana, your best bet would be your nearest rental kiosk.

*

Shorts

Seeing as to how children between the ages of 2-6 can be entertained by basically any special effect in movies nowadays, this is a must own movie for parents.  If kids are not an element of your household, please stay far away from this movie.  Anyone with common sense would feel insulted by this film.

**

Santa Buddies

If you are a fan of dogs in clothes, dogs in animation, and dogs in film the DVD is coming to a store near you.  Santa Buddies is the next installment in the Buddy straight to DVD franchise.  Though the films have proven successful for straight to DVD releases, this is one DVD that only dog lovers should own.  It serves as an excellent Christmas treat for the kids and family pets.

**

Imagine That

Imagine That is a nice winter family film.  It serves up many of your typical childhood morals and adult realizations.  If you’re absolutely sure you’ll have family time to enjoy this film it is worth the purchase.  Once the family watches the film, it will become a household favorite amongst parents and kids alike.

***

Four Christmases

Fans of Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn have an ideal film waiting for them on November 24th.  The film is typical Reese and Vince comedy recipes combined into one.  Unless you’re a strict fan of Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn, you can experience the movie through Netflix or any other form of rental service.  Believe me, once will be enough for this movie.

I’m sure this is a question pertinent in the mind of every college student within the United States, because college is about experiencing and learning, and we are constantly learning how people vary in personalities, traits and behavior.  Throughout your stay at college you meet new people every year.  It can be anyone from your roommate to the person next door and outside.  When we go out to parties, eat breakfast, lunch or dinner, we as people do not like traveling alone.  From the start we surround ourselves with brand new and compatible people to hang out with.  When making new acquaintances we analyze people and try our best to make sure they won’t be “getting on our nerves” anytime soon, or go behind our back and take a belonging or girlfriend or boyfriend.  The initial analysis we make of a person is the foundation to building a friendship.  If the analysis comes out positive, we embrace this person and let them into our room, house and lives in some way.  If you have embraced someone this year and let them know who you are as a person, there is definitely an element of trust there.

However, if you find that you simply drink, go out and scarcely see the people that you’ve met this year, unless it’s for public socialization; chances are that trust should not be handed to them that easily.  Someone who knows little about who you are but knows your favorite alcoholic beverage of choice is not a friend and only friends should be trusted.  This doesn’t in any way mean that we should stop socializing with those people and going out on the weekends with that group, it simply means that we need to be attentive of their actions and intentions when they are around us.  Not everyone you meet can become your friend or trusted colleague, but this certainly doesn’t mean that the conversation should end there.  Then again, who knows whether or not it can expand into something better later on down the line?  Some friendships take longer to form than others and trust is not a complimentary gift, and some acquaintances are meant to be just that.  Know where you stand with anyone in your circle and take it for what it is and nothing more.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the “Right World View’s” new outlook on theatrical releases.  This begins a new issue by issue perspective and review on movies released to theatres and upcoming DVDs.  If you were second guessing it, these reviews will help you decide.

SAW IV

It isn’t what he’s done up until now, it’s what he can do from beyond the grave.  SAW VI proves to be a horror franchise of the 21st century that can stand on its own.  If you thought you knew it all, you thought wrong.  The sixth movie in the SAW series proves that not everything is exactly as it seems.  Though at times it can feel like it’s a lot of cheap thrills and minimal scares, it is definitely suspense like no other.  The movie sticks to what it does best and is a good piece to the puzzle, missing nothing but audience members who want to play a game.
***

MICHAEL JACKSON’S THIS IS IT

This is a concert experience like no other.  Michael’s last days in rehearsal were put together to form a movie to remember.  Whether you barely knew him, doubted him, or idolized him, this film opens you up to an entirely different side of the “King of Pop” that you have never seen before.  Both a documentary and a concert, this film delivers for fans and music lovers alike.  This a movie that entertains and intrigues the whole way through with dancing, singing, and innovative concert ideas that never had the chance to be showcased in front of the large audiences intended.

Up is a new Disney classic.  Filled with tear jerking moments and traditional Disney comedy, Up is a movie for adults and children.  You can watch this movie over and over and appreciate it every time.  A successful hit in the box office, Up should be a hit amongst all households.

****

November 10, 2009

A summer comedy hit, The Ugly Truth is full of rude, crude and true laughs.  It is definitely something that you have seen before but with a different twist.  This is the best mediocre comedy since The Break Up.  Not necessarily something you should own, simply something you should borrow and watch from a rental store around the corner.

Males are easily perceived as dismissive to many things in the forefront of women’s minds.  The question I present to you is: What do you think would make us not dismiss college drama?  Ladies and gentlemen, the simple truth is that drama is inevitable in an environment where there are variations of different personalities.  In a college setting with people from all over the grid, drama can become an even messier situation.  However, college drama is always something that an individual can control.  When it comes to guys, we refuse to pay mind to unnecessary chaos; in this situation, rumors or stories presented by third parties.  It becomes a choice of whether or not you, as the individual, would like to parlay and engage in gossip from a second hand source, when you could use that time to be productive.  You have to stop, think, and dissect the situation at hand.  What else could you be doing with your time?  Chances are that if we simply kept our negative opinions to ourselves, there would be an abundant amount of time in the day left for other activities.  It is possible that instead of spending time playing a game of “He Said-She Said”, we could join a club for a better cause and find out what is being said across the world about situations of greater importance.

If there is a problem within your relationship, friendship, business partnership, or anything else that involves two people understanding each other for progression towards something better, then address the person at that moment and do it face to face.  You would be amazed at the minimal amount of time it would take to solve a problem the second that it occurs.  Once all of the drama is cleared out of the air, everyone has more time to enjoy one another: boyfriend and girlfriend, roommate one and roommate two through four, five, six and seven.  College is about having an experience to go down in the books and memories of life.  It is not about creating situations that hinder your ability to “experience.”  From our perspective, drama is created and the fumes of the flames can be fanned by any one person, so why not simply avoid a problem and address it with the source when it initially comes up and not after hearing it from a third party.  We are all human, and we all make mistakes, but irreversible errors occur when the people involved in the mistake remain silent and avoid finding a solution.
