Fight For Your Dream
Fighting For My Family- tells the story about WWE superstar Paige and her up rising to the WWE. Its a entertaining, dramatic, comedy film. You will have laughs, the push to push your self to the ultimate limit without losing it, without giving up your dreams.

The plot: Born into a tight-knit wrestling family, Paige and her brother Zak are ecstatic when they get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to try out for the WWE. But when only Paige earns a spot in the competitive training program, she must leave her loved ones behind and face this new cutthroat world alone.

Stephen Merchant does a excellent job with his second film that he directed.

Its a excellent film and a must watch if you like the WWE.

End Me a Tenor (Glee Club, #2)

Paige is thrilled when she lands the job of soprano soloist in a production of The Messiah along side world famous tenor David Richard. But at their first rehearsal together, he takes a sip of his water and dies. Meanwhile, she has to get her high school show choir into shape, including a new song, in just a few days or lose her day job.

There's lots going on here, and I did feel the mystery suffered a bit as a result. On the other hand, Paige is such a great character I couldn't help but root for her even when the show choir sub-plot was taking center stage.

I have to admit, I was felt some trepidation going into this book. Not because I didn't like Ms. Armstrong's earlier books, I did, but for other reasons. First off, the feel of the first two books was serious and melancholy, and I wanted something lighter. Secondly, I didn't care for Paige in the last book. And lastly, I haven't been able to read a book for over a year now, with brief spurts and I was afraid I'd be the same way. Luckily, all my fears proved to be futile. The book was lighter, Paige was very relatable and likable, and I was able to read all through. The storyline kept my interest, the characters were interesting, and I look forward to the next book. :D All in all, I think I like it better than the previous two, especially after my initial excitement died down.

Movie Favorite

"Rewatching this film on the other side of my twenties, the overwhelming fact of everyone’s youth really hit me. They’re just eighteen! And suddenly, the whole movie is Degrassi. Suzanne is Paige, Guillaume is Spinner, Bertrand is Jimmy. And Spinner and Jimmy think it’s really funny to take Paige out on dates and make her pay the bills. Then Spinner takes the joke way too far and Jimmy’s caught in the middle, wanting more than anything to seem cool. The final scene at the pool, the bathing suit competition so to speak—everything about it is casually devastating: the rhythm of the cuts, the lighting, the suntan lotion choreography. Bertrand (Jimmy) realizes he and Sophie (Ashley) aren’t superior to Suzanne, they’re just skinny. Man, that scene hits hard. Like Degrassi, Rohmer knows that the most interesting thing about teens is that they’re works in progress. Like, sometimes they actually learn a lesson."

The 8th anthology contains plenty more laughs with the Fox clan. Covering Fall of 1999 to Summer of 2001, we get such great moments as Jason looking forward to the Lord of the Rings, Paige making high school flashcards, and Peter trying to get through Hamlet. This family always makes me laugh, and this book is no exception.

It's coming back!
This used to be one of my favorite shows in the 2000s and completely launched DIY Network and the home-improvement TV show boom which happened afterwards.

It's a simple premise, but really great TV entertainment. Some of the designer egos seemed a bit much, but host Paige Davis always kept everything rolling with her spunky energy and never-ending smile.


Can't wait to see the new episodes!!

I didn't really know what to expect when I decided to watch this movie. I followed wrestling quite extensively when I was a kid and I had sort of dabbled in fandom ever since. I have a reasonable amount of knowledge as far as who the stars are and what's going on in the wrestling world.

When I heard that this was being made I was intrigued to say the least. A bio pic about the early career of superstar Paige. With Nick Frost in support? YES, PLEASE.

While the movie did take some liberties, as all biopics do, the fundamental story was solid. It made me genuinely feel heartache at times and I actually found myself rooting for Paige along the way. I became officially invested, which isn't always easy to do with this kind of movie.

Even if you are a glancing fan of wrestling, or ever have been, this is worth a watch. Some slight insight into the behind the scenes stuff that you don't see during the telecasts.
