There are those actors who give the same style performance playing pretty much the same character each time (with a change of accent or costume) and then there are those who really transform for a role and give it everything. Here are five times Johnny Depp has proven he can adapt and deliver the goods with appearance, body language and voice.
5.) SWEENEY TODD

So you have the time and you have the motivation to write but no words are coming out? It’s ok, I’ve been there. A lot. And I really do mean A LOT. It can be frustrating and depressing and it almost always leads to procrastination, abandoned projects and giant headaches. Ugh. What a waste.
The most common (and annoying) advice from writers and bloggers the world over seems to be: Continue reading “Write, Damn You, Write!”
Don’t you hate it when you really enjoy a song only to find out the lyrics you thought made the song unique and funny…. weren’t actually the words at all? *face palm* Yep, we’ve all been there (whether we admit it or not).
Here are five selections of lyrics I’ve been oh so wrong about.
5.) THE HARD-KNOCK LIFE (ANNIE, THE MUSICAL)
I heard: It’s a hard enough life for us.
It’s really: It’s a hard-knock life for us. (I secretly like my version better. Ssshhh don’t tell anyone.)

Everyone has a selection of movies that in one way or another shaped a part of their childhood or at the very least stayed with them well into their adult years. Here are the five movies that have made it to my list. I struggled to narrow it down as I have watched many movies that I have enjoyed or remember well. In the end, I had to go with what had the strongest connection for me.
If you grew up with The Little Mermaid and are quite attached to the movie and the characters there is a chance its sequel The Little Mermaid II Return To The Sea will not make a lasting impression.
Sure, it has the odd catchy song (“Titanic Tip and Daring Dash, adventurers slash explorers” will get stuck in your head on repeat for days) and most of the original character voices but it’s no timeless classic. I loved The Little Mermaid so why don’t I love the sequel just as much? Maybe it’s the little things that bugged me so…

Karise Eden first entered the music scene when she won The Voice back in 2012. After a break from the industry, Karise is back with her album Things I’ve Done, and is on the road again bringing her music and new baby with her.
So let’s talk about the album, Things I’ve Done – Why did you choose that as the title and how did you go about making the new album?
The album is full of songs talking about my life, what I’ve done or experienced. At the same time it’s songs I’ve been working on since my first album (and beforehand)… so it’s me literally saying, ‘here you go, here’s what I’ve been doing since my last album!’ [laughs]. I wrote the album all over the place – London, LA, Melbourne, Sydney and on my farm in Queensland. We recorded most of the album in Sydney and Melbourne with a few really killer producers.
Thoughts on Game of Thrones ‘Mother’s Mercy’ 5×10
Spoilers!
Before watching the episode I was convinced that Jaime was going to die in this episode. My cousin was convinced that Tyrion wasn’t going to survive. I’m not confirming or denying either happen or don’t happen in the finale – as that would be a spoiler. But I thought it was fun fact to mention. I’m glad I managed to avoid all spoilers because now that it’s been over 24 hours since the episode aired, it’s kind of impossible to not be.
