Another Selena Gomez Fansite

Honestly, I can’t remember if I’ve ever read any of Beverly Cleary’s Ramona stories. Ever since Selena first announced her connection to this project over a year ago, I’ve been trying to figure out if I had or not and I’m still not sure.

So for all intents and purposes I went into the movie not really knowing the characters beforehand. That said, this was very much a character driven story. The financial difficulties of Dad losing his job shaped the primary conflict of the film, but the story was really about how the various family members, and especially Ramona, reacted to it.

Of course, the only reason why I bothered running out to see it was because of Selena. And there was way too much Ramona and not enough Beezus. Yes, Ramona is the main character and the story is through her eyes (as I quickly noticed the low camera angles) but I still would have likes to see more Selena. Of course, there was that great scene of Selena and Ramona in bed. And I did see Selena’s mole a couple times.

One of the complaints I saw from the “professional” reviewers was that the CGI effects in Ramona’s fantasies where a little over the top and I have to agree. There probably wasn’t a better way to express Ramona’s imagination on screen, but it hurt the overall flow of the movie.

I liked Ramona’s plans to save the house. It was a feeling I could relate to, unfortunately. The lemonade scene was quite well done, but the Car wash idea was even better. Although I have to say, and I admit I don’t know what kind of paint it was, but if the jeep was already wet when the paint was dumped on it, I would think it would be fairly easy to wash it off before it set.

And Ramona sure had some bad luck. The egg thing in particular. I was like, “Wait No!” seconds before she cracked it on her head. Although I must admit she made a lot of her own problems. I mean, if you’re gonna hide your report card, you should hide your sister’s too.

“Who could ever love a girl named Beezus?”

If she looked like Selena? I don’t care what her name is! Despite being the one “everyone loves” Beezus had a rough time in this movie! She didn’t even get the new room! The oldest should always get first pic. And when Ramona almost set the house on fire, I know I was supposed to think Beezus was overreacting but I was more like It’s about time!

And then the cat died. That one really got to me. Picky Picky was a very pretty cat, and was almost as much of a character as the kids. Heck, the cat had as many lines as the baby.

Finally, a few thoughts on the cool Aunt Bea. Ginnifer Goodwin was brilliant casting. She looks just like I imagine Selena will look like when we’re married she’s older. And a wedding! What a classic but not very often used way to end a movie. That plot really pulled the whole film together.

And I didn’t even realize that Hutch Dano of “Zeke and Luther” and “Den Brother” played Henry until the very end. That lucky bastard.

Finally, I found the songs they used in the film to be rather interesting. “Walking on sunshine” by Aly and AJ seemed like a strange choice. It’s a classic, but why Aly & AJ’s version? Skye Sweetnam’s “Let’s Get Movin’ Into Action” was quite unexpected! I love Skye, but I’m surprised the producers even knew that song existed! Taylor Swift got a song too. I don’t recall the title but I recognized her voice. And I liked the usage of “Eternal Flame,” a really good song.

On the whole, a good movie. Not a blockbuster by any means, but a good family film with a good cast. Honestly, I think it’s something the adults will like and relate to more than the kids. 4/5

3… 2… 1…

Can you believe it? Selena Gomez is finally an adult and her new movie Ramona and Beezus opens tomorrow! Again, Happy Birthday Selena!

I found these pics the other day and keep forgetting to post them.

Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens both posed for Vanity Fair fairly recently, although I don’t know exactly how old these are anymore.

What I do know is that both girls look great in these, so I figured they where worth posting after all.

And am I the only one that’s noticed that Vanessa can, at least at times, be as cute as Selena?

Well, it was nice while it lasted.

For the fourth time, the DC Fans gallery has been shut down by my host. Each time it has happened before it’s been for a different reason, and on each reboot I’ve had to make changes to avoid the problem that took it down last time.

But this time, I didn’t even get a reason and my emails to the old host go unanswered. So I’ve decided to begin on the the 5th reincarnation on the gallery with yet another host. Time will tell if this is the one that lasts.

It was just a couple days ago that I had announced the restoration of the Disney Channel Games Screencaps to the site. Those caps, along with the remaining TSL caps where the last of the original caps I was trying to restore. Well, now I have to start over again!

With any luck, I’ll have everything added back to the new host in about two months. It’s been less than 14 weeks since I had the full gallery online, and this is only my third attempt.

But hey, at least I made sure to get those new Demi & Selena bikini pictures back up fast.

So anyone that knows me should already know that I loved the DC Games, and miss them terribly.

I do have some good news though, as I can now announce that I’ve restored the DC Games screencaps to the site!

Who can forget such great moments as Miley’s performance?

Or Selena’s fan favorite award?

And Demi totally stole the show the fourth week.

Anyway, they’re all back  up now. Click any pic to see the full gallery

Ask and ye shall receive! LOL

It was just last week that we got all those fabulous new Demi Lovato bikini pics, and I actually yelled at several people for using the opportunity to demand new Selena Gomez bikini pics.

Well, I would like to formally apologize, ’cause as these new pics show, we really did need new some new Selena bikini pics! The purple bikini was great, but she really has developed since then.

I mean, seriously, when did she get such an awesome rack? I knew she was cute, but damn.

And am I the only one that thinks her blue bikini top looks a lot more like a than swimwear? Not that there’s much difference.

These are apparently from the set of her new movie, Monte Carlo. Which I can only assume means that we’ll get to see her in a bikini in the movie! I’ll pay for my ticket right now!

It must be weird being half naked surrounded by the entire movie crew.

Anyway, you have to click on any pic above to see the full set.

Selena did an amazing job on this song!

And the video was amazing! <3

Selena looked so sexy. And while I do think she’s gorgeous, it’s rare that I think of her as sexy.

I think she did great job with the whole “spy” theme of the video.

It’s a great way to take advantage of being in Budapest to film Monte Carlo

Anyway, I would give this video a perfect score of 5/5.

Well done Selena. click any cap to see the rest of the set.

The screencap restoration is coming along faster than I expected!
