		<description><![CDATA[Country music has been around for ages. Some like it and some don't! I still find myself listening to it from time to time but also can listen to other music as well. One country star that comes to mind has come a long way since he started. Which they all find a way maybe to the top before falling off the band wagon down the road. Jason Aldean is a good country star to look at but has yet to fall off just yet.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jason Aldean a Multi-Platinum country rocker rolls the ( My Kinda Party )tour into 2012. His records have been somewhat some of countries best over the past two years. With songs like The Truth, My Kinda Party, Why, and Dirt Road Anthem. His shows are packed with fans from all over. Jason continues to rock country music to the top in 2012.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Bio:</strong><br />
There’s a lot about the singer that’s become familiar during his five years as a country hitmaker, after all, he has spent more weeks at No. one on the radio charts than any other country artist in the last 12 months. But none of what he does comes out quite like anyone else. The blues-tinged licks at the end of his phrases—there’s a ring of familiarity about them, but you can’t really link them to another artist. The smoky guitar riffs that have become a signature—they’re built on sounds that have come before, but they don’t really belong to anyone else in the country genre, either. The small-town themes that pervade many of his songs—that’s all been done before, but not quite with the unwavering honesty that Aldean applies to the subject. Read More by just clicking on his name after checking out a video of him. <a href="http://www.jasonaldean.com/jasonaldean" title="The Truth:" target="_blank">Jason Aldean</a></p></blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[I do know that most of our visitors don't or should I say wont watch the same thing that I am into on TV. But this show has began to grow big here in the U.S. for those of you who know about it. Swamp People is not for the weak at heart but can be funny for the whole family. So if you don't like gator's do not enter pass this point.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-10489" title="Swamp people" src="http://popcritics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Swamp-people.jpg" alt="" width="259" height="194" /></p>
<p>Yes this show is not for the weak at heart and especially if you do not like alligators. In my terms I will make this as simple as possible for those of you who wish to learn about it. The show is great and for me being a type of person that does not watch to much of the History Channel I have brought myself to watch this one show. Air&#8217;s every Thursday with new episodes on the History Channel so feel free to check it out.</p>
<p>I know this article here  should be put on my web site at <a href="http://hellohunting.com">Hello Hunting</a> but I thought that I would also share it with you the pop cultural world.  As for those of you who do know me you already know that I am the<br />
<strong><br />
<blockquote>&#8221; pop cultural redneck&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p></strong><br />
on here and the whole outdoor thing is my life. Yes I do enjoy the outdoors and will continue to enjoy them. As for the show swamp people all I can say is that it&#8217;s a bad ass show for everyone that wants to learn how to or even learn how bad ass a alligator can be.</p>
<p>With the group of people that are being filmed while chasing and hunting alligators just makes you want to join in on the action. I think this whole alligator hunting thing is an add on to my to do list in life before I die. I will say that it takes a whole lot of  ( Southern Slang &#8211; Gonad&#8217;s ) to chase after or hunt for a 12 to 16 foot alligator. An animal that can chew off two arms and legs at the same time is not one to play pick-a-boo with unless you are the one that is going to hunt him.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be the other where you are the one that is the hunted. Being a true coon ass riding in a small boat like these guys in a Louisiana bayou is most likely not a place that most of us will see ourselves. Being that show is filmed in the middle of a swampy bayou it makes you wonder just how hard even the filming could be. Swamp people is now on their second season on the History Channel. I can&#8217;t wait to try and find the first season on DVD so I will be able to catch up on all the first season action. Let&#8217;s take a look at the Swamp People cinema spot. Hope you enjoy it and check the show out every Thursday night.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-10474" title="CHRISTINA_PERRI_ATL-145_re-300x450" src="http://popcritics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/CHRISTINA_PERRI_ATL-145_re-300x450-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>The song Jar of Hearts has been on the radio for some time now and it has climbed higher and higher. The song will either bring tears to your eyes or make you just dream you were the one for the singer that sings the song. Christina Perri is going to make it big sooner or later. I mean this by say she has the looks that a female pop star should have and has more tattoos than a monkey has hair in July. These are her marks on music that make her who she is today and possibly who she will become as she gets higher up the ladder in the up coming future.</p>
<p>After her song Jar of Hearts made its debut in July of 2010 it was placed in the iTunes and rose to the top 20 in one week. For some songs it takes even months for them to get to that point. I wish her good luck in the future and hope her next songs are as good as this one. She is not only the singer but the writer also for her song Jar of Hearts. Now I will leave you with your thoughts and your opinion after you watch the video.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If love was a fairytale,  I would hope that it would go something like the story behind, "Letters to Juliet". ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://popcritics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/images.jpg" alt="Actor and actress from letters to juliet laying on the ground" title="Letters to juliet" width="280" height="180" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10383" /></p>
<p><em>Fairytales are Fake, but it&#8217;s Fun to Imagine</em></p>
<p>Letters to Juliet was absolutely adorable.  When I first thought about renting it I figured it would be another boring love story like most romantic movies these days; however, I was certainly surprised; although I was able to predict the ending!</p>
<p>The movie portrays the idea that “love” is never “lost”, and it is never too late to fix your prior mistakes.  Now, we are all aware that this is not exactly the case in reality but that is why things such as these, only happen in the movies.  </p>
<p>Amanda Seyfield travels to Italy, and captures the true story behind the wall of the letters to Juliet; where she soon meets the secretaries of Juliet whom write each person a letter back, encouraging them through their tough times.  </p>
<p>During her journey with the secretaries of Juliet she discovers a “lost” letter written to Juliet 50 years prior, and decides to write Rose a letter back.  She had no intentions of the letter actually making it to Rose, but to her surprise it did.  She then sets out on a journey she never imagined becoming a part of. </p>
<p>She ends up spending her entire honeymoon traveling through Europe searching for Alonzo with Rose and her stubborn grandson Charlie.  The ending is bitter sweet; as if a fairytale had been shared through the movie.  </p>
<p>It isn’t the greatest movie but it is worth watching at least once.  </p>
<p>The movie offers a great deal of hope, especially to those who are older and have already lived life to the fullest.  It is a story about second chances, and taking a leap of faith.    </p>

		<description><![CDATA[We all know Robert Pattinson from the "Twilight" series, but his acting skills shine superbly in "Remember Me".]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://popcritics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Remember-me.bmp" alt="Robert Pattinson" title="Remember me" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10349" /></p>
<p><em>Remember Me</em> tells the story of a young man who has difficulty coping with the loss of his brother.  He seeks attention by getting into numerous situations that lead him to be frowned upon by his father, whom he has lost all faith for. </p>
<p>He desires to know the answers to life’s hard questions, which are simply, unanswerable.  After back talking a police officer he gets a few bad bruises and a night in jail; in which his roommate experienced with him.</p>
<p>Determined to get revenge over the police officer, his friend sets him up with the officer’s daughter, in an attempt to use her and lose her; however, he quickly finds himself falling in love with her.  </p>
<p>He discovers later that her life has been filled with the same struggles as his own.  He starts seeing a different perspective on life, and begins to see the good in everyone; including his own father.</p>
<p>The movie was simply stunning!  I thought it had just enough happiness to balance the sadness, and I enjoyed every minute of it!  The ending was shocking and twisted!  It made me realize how fragile life is, and what Ghandi meant when he stated, <em>&#8220;Whatever you do in life will be insignificant. But it&#8217;s very important that you do it.&#8221;</em>  </p>

		<description><![CDATA[Normally the medieval era does not interest me; however, after seeing Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood" I have certainly gained a broader respect for the time.  ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://popcritics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/picture.bmp" alt="Robin Hood" title="Robin Hood" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10342" /></p>
<p><em>Behind the Legend is a Legend</em></p>
<p>We have all heard the tales of the famous Robin Hood but we have not always been informed completely of how Robin Hood earned his worldwide name.  The movie tells the story before the legend and that is what intrigued me the most&#8211; well that and the leading star, Russell Crowe, and his rock hard bod!</p>
<p>While fighting under King Richard, Robin comes across a noble Englishman who has been wounded during battle, and is near his death. Sir Loxley hands Robin his sword and pleads him to take it to his father as his will.  </p>
<p>Robin feels a strong connection to the words labeled on the handle of the sword &#8220;Rise and Rise again, till lambs become Lions&#8221;, and decides to take the sword back to the brave Englishman&#8217;s father.</p>
<p> When he arrives at the home he becomes attached by accepting a simple agreement from Sir Walter, which leads him to follow what might have been the dead Englishman&#8217;s life, if he had not passed. Robin becomes the son of Sir Walter, and the wife of Marion Loxley (Cate Blanchett); </p>
<p>Now with the former King Richard dead; his brother John becomes King of England. The story portrays all emotions: anger, fear, love, hate, jealousy, pity, courage, etc&#8230; It places emphasis on relationships; such as, friendships, romance, and family.  Although, Robin encourages King John to fight for his country; the ending takes a severely twisted turn that leads to the late tales of Robin Hood.  </p>
<p>I find the movie to be amazing! One of my favorites this year, and not just because of Russell Crowe! </p>
<p>I was a little upset about the fight between Godfrey (Oscar Isaac), and Robin at the end of the movie, but I will let you decide when you watch it.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Jodi Picoult's novel is stunningly well-written, giving the reader amazing insight that keep them on their toes.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://popcritics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/my-sisters-keeper-lg1-192x300.jpg" alt="Two sister&#039;s sitting back to back" title="My sister&#039;s keeper" width="192" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10315" /></p>
<p><em>My Sister’s Keeper</em>, portrays the love of a mother for her children, and the struggle to help them survive. A love of a mother never seems too strong; however, when one of the girls is dying from leukemia she insists that her sister keeps Kate alive by undergoing another surgery.  </p>
<p>This is a typical process for Anna because she has consistently gone through one surgery after another her whole life; due to the fact that her parents conceived her by preimplantation genetic diagnosis in order to be a match for Kate.  </p>
<p>Since Kate now needs another surgery Anna is the only option; however, she shocks the family with her decision not to help Kate any longer.  She goes to the extreme of hiring a lawyer to fight her mother on behalf of her decision.  </p>
<p>She desires the right to make her own decisions on what she chooses to do with her body, although her parents argue that she is not old enough to make her own decisions.</p>
<p> Although it was recently turned into a film; the novel is completely different.  The ending is twisted and tear-jerking, and the debates leading to the final outcome keep the reader eager to turn the page. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[Another must see summer movie with Adam Sandler is going big in theaters now. Funny and crazy all in the same roll. Sandler has step up a notch compared to his older movies.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10205" title="Basic CMYK" src="http://popcritics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/grown-ups-202x300.jpg" alt="" width="202" height="320" /></p>
<p>I had the pleasure of watching Grownups this past weekend and I will say that it could fall as one of my funniest movies I have seen this summer. If family humor and comedy is your treat in a movie this movie will keep you laughing the whole way through.</p>
<p>The good thing is about this show it has been in theaters a while now and most of us may have already seen it. With stars like Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, and David Spade, you can&#8217;t go wrong in a hit smash summer comedy.</p>
<p>It all starts with 5 kids learning from their favorite coach in basketball and leading into their today style lives. They take their families to the coaches funeral and then head out to the lake for the fourth of July where they then spread their great coaches ashes on a stranded island.</p>
<p>Bring the five guys together brings back some memories for them. Some turn off rich and some turn out broke. One married 3 or 4 times and ends up with a woman twice his age. he would be the one that turns out to have the most beautiful daughters in the world. But also he would be the one to have one single daughter that turns out to be not so beautiful as well.</p>
<p>Changing their lives in many ways has taught them how they use to be when they were kids growing up and being the only team that their dead coach had won a basketball championship with. I have to say that I never was like them when I was growing up.</p>
<p>This movie want bring any tears to your eyes unless you start crying due to the laughing and giggling. I rate it a 5 star movie as one of the best Adam Sandler movies made today. I will not lead you into anymore sides of this movie but will leave you with the fact that you may want to see it for yourself. Just watch the trailer and judge it for your own thoughts of mind.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Zach Galifianakis is side-splitting in “The Hangover”, a movie that made my day!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://popcritics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/the-hangover.jpg" alt="3 men and a baby from the hangover" title="The hangover" width="92" height="142" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10196" /></p>
<p>With all the hype about “The Hangover” I finally decided to watch it, and the movie is hysterical!  The title pretty much sums up the movie to the core.  We all know the feeling of a head splitting hangover; therefore it is easy to relate to the drama the friends face. </p>
<p>Attempting to take their best friend to Vegas for his bachelor party three men run into a more eventful night than they had ever planned for!  They spend the following day searching for their best friend that they somehow “lost” during the drunken night, while trying to convince his finance’ of a somewhat different story.</p>
<p>They have unexpected visits from Mike Tyson,  a baby, the police, and one mad Chinaman as they begin their search for Doug. With each event they grow closer to finding their good friend Doug, and capturing all the action from the somehow forgotten night that lead to his disappearance.  </p>
<p>The movie is uproariously funny, definitely one to buy and watch when you need a good laugh! </p>
