Hannah Montana Turns 11: Where Is The Cast Now?
Okay, okay I'll admit I watched Hanna Montana at one point in my life. It was one of those shows that got so much hype before it's release and just the sole fact that I enjoyed Billy Ray Cyrus' music. I gave it a shot, and the rest is history. As much as it pains me to admit, I actually enjoyed the silliness of the show and the characters were entertaining.

Finding My Life With A Train Song
Music is such a deeply ingrained part of our #culture. Honestly, it's such a major part of creation itself. How many times have you heard of an animal singing to another, whether it's as a mating call or just a way for connection - there's just something about music that simply put, is the purest form of beauty imaginable.

How A Movie About A Music Teacher Gave Me My Dreams Back
I'll tell you this first, because I need to go on record with it - very few movies can make me cry. I'm pretty sure that I can list the number of films that induce tears on two hands: Dead Poet's Society, Good Will Hunting, Schindler's List & Mr. Holland's Opus are the first that come to my mind, and one film changed the course of my life quite dramatically.

If you're new to this whole #StarWars thing, then I feel sorry for you, because the entire Star Wars universe has been one of the most influential franchises to my upbringing as a child of the science fiction genre. Racing into the stars was something that I wished I could do growing up; being an astronaut would have been the most amazing experience if it weren't for my fear of heights and possibly exploding from a spark in the rocket fuel strapped to my seat.

We're Finally Returning To The Deserts In 'Dune:' Who Could We See In The Pivotal Roles?
Dune is one of the most iconic and pivotal novels in all of science fiction, and there have been countless attempts to bring Frank Herbert's seminal novel to the screen in a way that both fans and Herbert could approve of. Dune was first written over 50 years ago, and it wasn't until the early 70s that filmmakers first attempted to adapt the novel; each time failing to match the emotion of the original novel. It wasn't until 1984 when David Lynch first attempted to bring Dune to the big screen starring Kyle MacLachlan, Patrick Stewart and Virginia Madsen yet it is often seen a huge bomb with mid-range reviews. The film adaptation, although it was seen as a failure, proved that the story is primed for making the big screen.
