Gilmore Girls
Hello guys! Recently, on Netflix, I started a show that was on the air a few years ago. This is, “Gilmore Girls.” I am currently obsessed with this show because it is such a genuine show that previews all of the crazy things that go on in an average person’s daily life. This show is all about a 32 year-old mom named, Lorelai Gilmore, who got pregnant at 16 with her daughter, Rory. Rory is now 16 and they live alone together in the very small town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. They have such an amazing relationship and Lorelai acts like she is the same age as Rory at times. They both have their ups and down’s whether it be private school drama, boy troubles, for both Rory and Lorelai, or when the father of Rory pays an unexpected visit. What I enjoy is that their family is not perfect but they make each and every go by helping each other out for the better. I also personally love the romance in this because it sure does get juicy! This show first aired its pilot on October 5, 2000 and ended on May 15, 2007. Lorelai is played by Lauren Graham and Rory is played by Alexis Bledel, who also was in the “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” which is one of my all-time favorite movies. Furthermore, this show received four out of five stars on IMDB and a four and a half on TV.com. I recommend this show for so many reasons, a few being the humor and the messages it sends. There is always something going on from the uprising of different conflicts and the highly adored relationship between Rory and her boyfriend Dean who is GOREGOUS!!! I think that you should go one Netflix and watch this because you definitely won't regret it.

Fuller House!
Hi and welcome back to my blog! Today’s blog will be about “Full House.” Most of you probably know about this show because it’s been around for a long time now. For those of you who don't, this show is about a father raising his three girls, after his wife dies, with the help of his brother-in-law and his best friend. Different characters come along as the show progresses and in each episode there is a lesson learned. It is such a cheesy show with the most predictable outcomes that everyone seems to love. Honestly the cheesier the show is the better it gets! Following this show, there is a new show coming around in the Netflix town. Recently, it has been confirmed that, in 2016, there will be a thirteen episode sitcom of “Fuller House.” This show will basically be a spinoff of the original show. It will be about the oldest daughter, DJ, played by Candace Cameron, living alone with her kids after her husband dies. This is ironic considering the plot of the original show. Then, to help out DJ, Jodie Sweeten, or Stephanie comes. All of the other characters like Uncle Jessie, Joey and the father will be coming back as well. The only characters not making a comeback to the show are Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen who both played Michelle, the youngest daughter on the show. Hopefully this spinoff will live up to the original. Many spinoffs have not lived up the the original so "Fuller House" has to do its best to prove all of the others wrong. Many people grew up with this show, considering the fact it was from the 90's, and have a specific memory of it that they may believe can't be changed. I would be just a little scared if I was producing "Fuller House." All in all, despite all of the worry, I bet we are all excited for this. As we wait, go watch "Full House" because it is actually life. Bye everyone, see you next time:)

Gabby Douglas wins a gold metal in my heart.
Hello everybody and welcome back to my blog! Today I'm going to be talking about a documentary I watched a few months ago. This movie is called, "The Gabby Douglas Story." If you didn't already know, Gabby Douglas is the first African American woman in Olympic history to become the individual all-around champion, and the first American gymnast to win gold in both the individual all-around and team competitions at the same Olympics as well as being the only American all-around champion to win multiple gold medals. At the time, Douglas was only 15. I'm almost 15 and the greatest thing I've done was pass Middle School. That says a lot! After all of this success, film creators wanted to make a documentary of her life. Douglas didn't grow up in great fortune. On the contrary, she grew up in poverty. Nothing was ever good for her, but somehow she kept following her dream, since she was young, to become a professional gymnast. This film follows, with actors, the childhood that Douglas had. After her mother and her father got evicted from their house because the father got laid off from his job, they had to live in a trailer for a while. The father then left the mother alone with five kids to raise. The mother moved in with her mother and tried to get back on her feet. Meanwhile, the directors show Gabby Douglas always doing flips and rolls on the front lawn or at a recreation center. As a teen, Gabby has to make big choices that will effect her life greatly that will help her reach her goal. No matter how cliche it sounds, this movie shows viewers how important it is to follow your dreams and that if you do follow your dream and work hard for it, you will succeed. I couldn't recommend this film enough. I had some doubts that it would be boring, however, I was definitely wrong. I watched this film on Netflix; no surprise there. This movie received a four out of five stars on Rotten Tomatoes and was directed by Gregg Champion. By the way, when I first watched this movie, I started to freak out because the girl that plays Gabby Douglas, Imani Hakim, is the daughter from the show, "Everybody Hates Chris." She's all grown up now! All in all, you should seriously go watch it... now...go.
