The Island 2005 film directed by Michael bay is about a conspiracy regarding clones living in their carefully controlled "natural habitiat". Two clones discover that all they know is a lie and expose the secret behind the multibillion dollar illegal run corporation.

A critics review from a staff writer at About.com this critic grades The Island as a C+. The writer declares that, "If you’re looking for a Michael Bay movie with a purpose, this isn’t it. If you can set aside the story and just watch “The Island” for what it is - a big summer popcorn flick - then it won’t disappoint."

Synthesizing
I chose James Blunt "You're Beautiful"
and Damien Rice "The Blower's Daughter"


My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. (I can't take my eyes off of you)
You're beautiful. (I can't take my eyes off of you)
You're beautiful, it's true.

I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

(I can't take my eyes off of you)

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. (I can't take my eyes off of you)
You're beautiful. (I can't take my eyes off of you)
You're beautiful, it's true.

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time

(You're beautiful)

And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you (You're beautiful)
I can't take my eyes off you (You're beautiful)
I can't take my eyes off of you (You're beautiful)
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

I saw you face in a crowded place,
(And so it is)
And I don't know what to do,
(Just like you said it should be)
'Cause I'll never be with you.
(I can't take my mind off of you)

You're beautiful. (I can't take my mind off you)
You're beautiful. (I can't take my mind off of you)
You're beautiful, it's true.

There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...
My mind...
'Til I find somebody new

So ok music... For some reason I have a very hard time determining which band or type is my absolute favorite. I have a lot of favorites and I listen to a wide variety of music pertaining to which ever mood I am in. The majority of the time however, I listen to rock. Not too heavy, not too cheesy, just rock. A couple of examples would include: Breaking Benjamin, Staind, Trapt, Collective Soul, , Sublime and Iincubus. Trapt rocks for long car rides on a summer day. There is fo sho nothin like crowd surfin, or moshin to you fav rock band!! Sublime, OAR, Oasis and Collective Soul for in the boat on a Lake with a bunch of friends. This type of music is perfect for me. It's embodies the type of person that I am chill, and easy going - especially in the summer--Life is good. Utter Euphoria. Sublime is so versatile. It's perfect for people to enjoy together in lots of occasions: parties, at the bar, chillin, summer, snowboarding, and etc... I really like artists that have unusual voices. It doesn't really matter their range, I don't need a Christina Agulara. Just something different, refreshing. I don't like artist's who become a product.

I really enjoy the sound of the band Incubus. They are a rock band that is kind of alternative they use acoustic guitar and are extremely musically talented. This review rated Incubus five stars which is kick ass. I really like the title the critic chose and that is For Once Music that has Meaning... There music conveys how people are so robotic and its clique to say but they 'don't take time to smell the roses'. Also Incubus is known to take a few stabs at society, I like that not being a conformist, that rocks, literally.The lyrics are meaningful and not just a bunch of bull shit jubberish talkin about gettin ass, makin money, and smokin weed. They are simplistic but musically complex. I like the way that Brandon Boyd uses his voice as a musical instrument. I saw Incubus last year in concert and they were the absolute hands down best damn band I have ever seen live. I couldn't believe how amazingly talented they are.
Ok, now don't get me wrong I like some Rap. Rap is defiantly a mood setter for example its perfect for dance parties and goin out to a club, or just getting hyped up about something. I can't stand the type of Rap that spits lyrics pertaining only the above listed. Come on now, how superficial and lame can we be? My favorite Rapper is Kanye West. Although he is probably the cockiest mother F***** I have ever seen.

What am I passionate about, good question. There are many different things that I am passionate about a few are: making a difference, and traveling. I know that this sounds really cheesy but I want to make a difference in peoples lives. I want to accomplish this by being a compassionate and knowledgeable nurse. Maybe by traveling and helping people in different areas in the world. Giving of myself to help better the lives of others.
I am also very passionate about traveling. Since a young age I have had the opportunity to travel. It's kind of an addiction for me. There are so many places that I want to see and experience on my own. I often think about where I want to go next. A good friend of mine studied abroad last year in Italy and plans on getting married in Florence, Italy this summer. I will be attending the wedding and then staying two more weeks and touring Greece and Ireland with my boyfriend. I can't wait. So I have been saving for extra traveling and spending bling.
