National Parent’s Day: Movies Celebrating Parents

 

Today is National Parent’s Day, and although this day does not get as much recognition as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, this day celebrates both! Having both parents is a blessing in itself and if you are fortunate enough to have both of your parents in your life, today is the perfect day to pay some love and respect to them. Parents and family are huge topic in many films made today, such as the film Ways to Live Forever (2010) and the film Amy (1997). The movie Ways to Live Forever focuses on a young boy with leukemia and how he and his family cope with the illness. The parents, played by Ben Chaplin and Emilia Fox, both take care of their son, played by Robbie Kay. The film displays support from family since the parents do everything they can to ensure that their son can stay alive. They fight alongside him to battle the illness. The film Amy also about a young child fighting a health issue, featuring a girl who suffers from hysterical deafness and only responds to song. Her mother, played by actress Rachel Griffiths, searches for answers to find out how her daughter can eventually hear again. Both films demonstrate how strong parents love is no matter the situation.

Celebrate and Watch Gorgeous Celebrity Grandmas, including Jessica Lange, Susan Lucci, Sally Field, Phyllida Law and Gladys Knight

 

Happy Gorgeous Grandmother Day! Over the last couple of decades, older celebrities have retained their beauty well into their golden years. Older celebrities like actress and singer Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow look better in their 40’s than they did in their 20’s. New diets, pharmaceuticals, and exercise routines have given women the ability to stay gorgeous well into old age. Being 40 years old is no longer the career killer it might have been, the stigma of being a grandmother is still being challenged. Notably gorgeous grandmothers include; Jessica Lange, Priscilla Presley, Susan Lucci, Sally Field, Phyllida Law and Gladys Knight. All these women are over 60 years old and have adorable grandkids. Jessica Lange at 66, looks incredible every week on American Horror Story. She became a grandmother about 30 years after making it big in King Kong. Priscilla Presley is aged to a perfect 70 years and has three grandchildren. In 2008, her daughter Lisa Marie Presley had twin boys, apparently twins run in the Presley family.  Susan Lucci, from All my Children, became a gorgeous grandma in 2006, with the birth of Liza Huber’s first child named Royce Alexander, who was born on Grandma’s birthday. Sally Field is a 68 year old and is a devoted mother to her 3 children and multitude of grandchildren. She is most known for her role on Brothers & Sisters.  Some of these women have used plastic surgery to retain their looks, while others age with grace, for example Phyllida Law is one of the oldest gorgeous grandma, mentioned here, at 83 years old. She is the mother of Emma Thompson and grandmother of her 2 children.Her classic, if lines, features and her silver hair give her a beautiful natural look, we can only hope to age so well. She played a grandmother in Ways to Live Forever, distributed by World Wide Motion Pictures. Gladys Knight is 71 years old and her beautiful skin still glows with a youthful glint and her voice hasn’t aged a day. She has ten grandchildren, more than all the other women mentioned here. All grandmothers are gorgeous in their own way and today take the time to tell yours how amazing she looks, because soon enough we’ll all be as old as they are (fingers crossed).

Greetings Earthlings! July 20th is Space Exploration Day

 

Have you ever wanted to witness an alien encounter? Or maybe see an asteroid explode into another comet? Today we wonder about the vast complexities of outerspace, and continue to search for various other life forms similar to our own. Space Exploration Day is the day we decide to build our own rocketship and see the stars for ourselves. Millions of different photographs NASA releases for us to gaze at will never recreate the sensation of floating aimlessly in a space shuttle with no gravity to hold anything back.

It seems that the more information our civilization finds out about space, the less we seemingly know about. Will we ever find out how green are the alien life form’s skin compared to what we had first thought, if they even have skin at all? Will we ever find the beginning, middle, or the end of the universe? Is our physical existence expanding, or contracting? So many questions are left to be answered, which makes space exploration more exciting than ever.

Robbie Kay’s character in the film “Ways to Live Forever” had a fascination with traveling to outer space. Everyone has thought about it at least once in their lives. This could be the day you actually sneak onto a NASA space shuttle and explore the next frontier for yourself!

National Tattoo Day

 

July 17th is a day that more people in America have been celebrating in recent years: National Tattoo Day! If you have ever contemplated marking yourself, today would be the opportune time. Tattoos can have deep philosophical meaning to those who decide to brand themselves, and tattoos can also be horrible reminders of a youthful decision.  Whether you have both of your sleeves covered, or a tiny Hello Kitty creeping up your ankle, you can never have too many or too little of tattoos.

Tattoos are considered more socially acceptable in America than ever before. It is no longer a dealer closer once your employer finds out about that sail boat tattoo on your chest or bicep. The placement of tattoos have seemed to crawl up on to people’s faces more than ever as well, which is totally a great thing for social acceptance and tolerance activists. Whether it is right or wrong to have a symbol embedded onto yourself, body art continues to be one of the most polarizing discussions we have in society. It is such a subjective topic that even our world’s religious practices have different opinions on how tattoos should be used and treated.

Be sure to catch the television series “Skin Deep”, which is currently being distributed by World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation. The series gives the audience an inside view on the life of these talented individuals who pursue body art as a profession and a lifestyle. Even if you don’t have a tattoo, they can still be very interesting to look at if you give them a chance.

NBC has picked up 13 episodes and fans are flocking to what could be the hit show of the fall.

Some original cast members will guest star, but only one will be a series regular which is Jack Coleman’s Noah Bennet. Zachary Quinto’s Sylar character will not be returning to many fan’s dismay. However, there is still much speculation about who is returning including Hayden Panettiere. NBC has been very careful on what details are released for the show.
