Like I always say to people that I only want watch the movies that got ratings more than or equal to 7,0. So this week my choice fell on Oz The Great & Powerful.

As I ever know that the movie is tries to make references to The Wizard of Oz, a classic movie that released on 1939. I've never seen the movie but at least I know the movie outline.

The film focuses its attention on Oz, short for Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a circus magician from Kansas who ends up being blown away by a tornado to the wonderful land of Oz. Once he arrives at Oz, he meets a beautiful witch named Theodora (Mila Kunis) who explains how they have been waiting for him because a prophecy claims that a wizard would arrive at Oz and defeat the evil witch who poisoned her own father, the king of Emerald City. The long awaited wizard could become King if he is able to defeat the witch and protect the land. Oz, who isn't a very moral fellow, is interested in becoming great so he accepts as long as he can keep all the gold. He ignores telling her that he isn't actually a real wizard. What Theodora and Oz don't know is that her sister, Evanora (Rachel Weisz), has lied to everyone in Emerald City about the evil witch Glinda (Michelle Williams). Evanora is actually the evil witch who is trying to get rid of Glinda and take over Oz. During his mission Oz runs into some unlikely allies like Finley (Zach Braff) a winged monkey and a porcelain doll named China Girl (Joey King) before discovering the truth about Glinda and Evanora. This is the story of Oz and how he came to this land and made a name for himself.

Things start well enough with the eye-catching opening credits and a classic, black-and- white look as we're introduced to James Franco's Oz. While it isn't entirely clear at first, his Oz is actually a tough character to get behind. The problem isn't that he's a liar, but that he often times basks in his own ego, exudes a sort of snobbiness and a general lack of concern.

Of course Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz were amazing in their roles, unfortunately, one of the other primary casting choices was disastrous. Mila Kunis didn't work at all for me as the Wicked Witch of the West; I just didn't get it. Her transformation to this evil creature was underdeveloped, though this was primarily due to problems with the script, which shortchanged both the set-up and payoff. But I didn't find her voice, or physical appearance, or general demeanor convincing in the least. And this is such an iconic character, that the weak link is problematic for the film overall.

The story was predictable and underwhelming for the most part, but the ending made some sense.

While I don't think Oz the Great and Powerful is by any means an instant classic, it will delight it's targeted fanbase, which is children. The movie, while too simple for an adult like me looking for a little more character and grandeur to the tale, is very funny, and its heart is always in the right place, teaching that one can make themselves whatever they wish to be. However, I do strongly advise parents seeing this movie first without their kids and then deciding whether or not their kid is old enough for it.

After the incident, Bieber tweeted "worst birthday," and retreated to his hotel room. A spokesman for the club said the incident was actually over some members of Bieber's crew being under age. "Justin Bieber visits Cirque Du Soir regularly, and he and his friends are always welcome, as long the members of the group are legally old enough to enter the club. This was simply a matter of regulation that we must adhere to," the spokesman added.

Speaking to the media in the UK, Chris stated that Riri really love him, and he was very sorry for the harsh treatment he had done against Riri in the year 2009.

The indie-pop artist — real name Elizabeth Grant — maintains the 1960s American girl persona she created on Born to Die. I first discovered Lana when I downloaded Summertime Sadness to my iPod for the only reason being that I was dying to get new songs on it. It instantly attracted me to this never-heard-before singer and her gorgeous way of expressing heartbreak. Her way of using words was not only poetic but also deeply touching, and Summertime Sadness my most liked song of hers.

As divided as the public may seem about her, I must confess, I am a fan of the Del Rey. Her music, her style, and her pageant-queen-meets-girl-next-door beauty. The genuine article or not, her music does it for me, it fills that guilty-pleasure pop-music. Not to mention I think that whole self "gangster-Nancy Sinatra" look she has going on is killer. I feel the sheer amount backlash she's been getting since "Video Games" is unjustified, some of the reviews are just downright nasty. Whether or not she is an entirely self-made character or not doesn't affect my enjoyment of her music and her style. It is pop music after all. If she is just playing a character, then so be it, I like the character she plays :)
I also adore the styling in her videos. they're great, and she looks so fab in them!

The biggest problem with Lana Del Rey has nothing to do with the singer herself. The debate has been furious and SNL only poured more gasoline on the fire, but while others talk about authenticity, plastic surgery, and talent (all valid conversations) the real problem in my mind is clear and simple...yet, it's never part of the discussion.

Examples negative comments about her :
- She seems so fake.
- She sounds really really depressed and/or bored.
- She sings like she is drunk.
- Her singing is not my cup of tea, a little too monotone and boring, doesn’t want to make me listen to the lyrics.
- The girl’s got something of a voice to her, and if you can get past all of the weird plastic surgery, there’s potential.
- She's not Tori Amos.
(These are small part what I found on internet)

Okay it's about difference taste of music but not sure how anyone can claim that this woman is untalented. It would be nice if people would listen to the music and make up their own minds rather than bash her based on what people on the internets say.

Everyone has their opinions on the real world views, such as you all, and guess what, people? The American Dream is where you have freedom of speech, where you can promote your music and style any way you want. She's rich and famous, you're not, what is there to hate? I love her music, I love her style. Maybe there's another message being put out there by Lana Del Rey? This is MY opinion and they have THEIR own opinions. Ignorance put aside, Lana Del Rey is talented, she has a good voice and she writes her own lyrics, not to mention she has wrote other peoples lyrics as well.

Lana Del Rey has received more coverage from independent music websites than any other artist in recent memory, all before even releasing an album. This is not a think-piece – we've all done them. This is a simple matter of statistics.

Yes, Lana Del Rey has a team behind her, had plastic surgery to improve her looks, and her ability as a live talent is questionable. Those have all been debated to death. The real question is why did these "independent" music websites dedicate almost double the coverage to Lana Del Rey than they did for the artists that created their favorite albums of the year?

I think we underestimate how crucial image is for an artist. A female artist more importantly. Lana Del Rey had the strongest image in music. Strong images make great memes, memes generate hits...

I find it more damaging to females than anything. She herself changed her looks and met success. I can see how thousands of women will look now for extreme plastic surgery before attempting a music career. Fact. No guys have to go through so much focus on their looks. When she was just cute, nothing, once she became flawless, everything. It's hard to escape that reality. I used to think "indie" meant something, after the whole blog embrace thing I think women are just as fucked in indie as elsewhere. As in looks do most of the talking.
