 I need a hero- Shrek 2   The song I need a hero is originally from Bonnie Tyler and released in 1984. The song I need a hero was made famous in the movie Shrek 2. When the princess Fiona is in a dangerous situation and Shrek and his friends  trying to rescue her.  The lyrics of the song express the need for a hero to come and rescue someone in trouble. In the movie Shrek becomes that hero who with the help of his friends Puss in Boots, Donkey, Jengi (the Gingerbread Man) and a giant cookie come to save Princess Fiona from the Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming. The song in the film is used humorous way and adds a touch of emotion and comedy to the moment when Shrek and his friends rush to reach the castle and rescue Fiona.   I really like the Shrek movies.  I think they are one of my favorites, I like this scene better in the Latin Spanish dubbing because it gives it more emotion than what is in English. Watch the shrek movies, you won't get bored!...

 Remember the Time- Michael Jackson       I have always been a fan of Michael Jackson, I really like his songs. I think he is the king of pop. This song was released in 1991.    I really like the Egyptian clothes they wear in the video and how they give an introduction to what the Egyptian pharaohs were like and how they brought people to entertain them, and if they couldn't entertain them, they would kill them   I also really like how they dance, and the rhythm of the song is catchy. This song is about love, memories and special moments that lovers experienced.   Talks about the moment they fell in love for the first time, and the time they got to spend together and remembering the beautiful moments they shared.   Also, like everything has its beginning and end, whatever happens, take it as something positive and never forget that.                     

Dancing bears       It's a video of about five bears dancing on top of a purple floor, and with background music called " You reposted in the wrong neighborhood"   This video reminds me of when I was younger, because together with my sister Luciana.  We were looking for funny videos called "Si te ries pierdes, nivel dios" and in all the videos it appeared as a small introduction, so that later the laughing videos would appear, but always we ended up losing with this video we both ended up laughing, I really miss those times .            

 Criminal Minds This is one of my favorite series, it premiered on September 22 of 2005. It is a group of people from the FBI who investigate cases of people with twisted minds and try to capture them before they commit a crime. When I was younger, I really love watching this series with my mom. And my dad hardly likes those types of programs, he says they are boring and he better watches action movies.  My favorite characters are: Spencer Reid, I always liked his personality and his way of thinking when solving cases. Derek Morgan, I like that he is the same, he is very supportive and gets along very well with Penelope.  And Penelope García, she is very happy, she is always in charge of contacting us by phone or computer, basically she is like a hacker. Sometimes I feel like it's not the same anymore, because there aren't the same actors as before.
