Hi Guys!

So I just wanna get to the point here: I, the "aspiring actress" and movie fanatic; have finally started a blog! Yay! 
This page will include movie and maybe music reviews, as well as my thoughts, hopes and dreams about acting! If I ever make it out there, then let this sight be a helpful guideline for all those after me.


Now... Where should I start? 
Maybe you should know a few things about me: 
- I live in Switzerland, so far away from all auditions and castings; which makes me a little nervous...
- I've loved to act since I can remember and have been told I'm good at it since I've started ;)
- I love, love, love "The Dark Knight" and hope to somehow audition for it's sequel "The Dark Knight Rises"
- If acting doesn't work out for me I'd love to study psychology or movie directing
That's all I've got for the moment...


Anyway, on my way back from Las Vegas last Monday;  I attended a funeral there :( ; I watched this awesome movie: "Inception". 
This movie combines one of my favorite directors (Christopher Nolan) and one of my favorite actors (Leonardo DiCaprio) and seemed very promising! So I switched it on and fell in love with it! It's gotta' be one of my favorite movies now! (I noticed I've been using the word "favorite" a lot lately; but that just shows you how good it is!) 
Anyway; the plot is: A skilled thief, specialized in extracting information from the mind, through dreams, named Dominic (Dom) Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) along with point man Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), get hired by a powerful japanese businessman, Saito (Ken Watanabe) to perform an inception (= plant an idea into someone's mind). They're supposed to plant it in the son of Saito's dying corporate rival, Robert Fischer (Cilian Murphy), but a lot goes wrong...
Here's the trailer in case you wanted to watch it:





Even though I initially watched this movie for Leo DiCaprio, I liked Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character, Arthur, even more. I have to say, Joseph is a very talented actor and he's easy on the eyes too...
Also I liked Ellen Page as Ariadne, a student who designs the dream worlds. She was really cool, telling Leo to cut the crap and except, that he didn't get over his wife's death. (Don't worry, you find that out early in the movie).
Otherwise I also thought Tom Hardy was good as Eames, the forger who can turn into another person in a dream; "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger darling."
All in all the whole idea of dreams inside dreams and being able to extract information and plant an idea in a person's subconscious is original and really interesting. 
That's all I can say without giving away the whole plot. 


And otherwise I guess I can do a music review too this week, since this is my first blog entry.
What's been on the top charts lately is Willow Smith's "Whip my Hair" .  
The song's pretty catchy and Willow can sing really well, so the song itself is good. Actually I have to say that she's pretty cool, though I feel bad, 'cause when she's older she might turn into a Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears person...
The music video's okay; it features Willow walking into a white room with people eating in white suits, she then sticks the tip of her hair in paint and whips it around turning all of the suits and the walls colorful... 
Willow wears really stylish clothes and her hair is awesome! (except for in the beginning when it's shaped as a heart...)
Judge for yourself:




See what I mean?


That's all for now,
Elle


FWI: Pink isn't my favorite color; I'm just happy today :)
