Thanksgiving

       

             As we enter the Christmas season I decided that the perfect show to discuss would be the hit series soulfood it aired in 2000 and had a tremendous four year run.Some of the characters in the was Venessa A.Williams who played Maxine Chadway ,Melissa Williams who played Bird in the movie and the oldest sister was played by Nicole Ari Parker who played Teri Joseph.The show was bascially centered around the sisters and there strong bond they had would eachother and the many thanks givings they would spend in there late mother house .Who would often at times appear to be giving the sisters advice when they were in great depth of misery in the her after life state.There mother would appear as a ghost.The entire moral of this show to me is about having good family values and staying together no matter what and helping each other in times of need its also shows that a good family lunch together makes that tight knit stay even closer.Hence the reason for thanksgiving its all about family coming together and celebrating in each others presence.

It's The Power of Three!!!

A couple of weeks ago, it was halloween throughout the world; however, here in Trinidad and Tobago we don't go trick or tricking. It's mostly those scary, witchy shows we see,then we realize it's halloween. The first show that popped into my head (which was one of my favorites a couple years back) was Charmed. Yes, guys remember those sisters, or as they were known "the charmed ones".

Charmed made its debut in October 7th 1998 until May 21st 2006. The show was based on three sisters, who are known as the most powerful witches; their destiny  were to protect innocent lives from evil. The characters of the show were Alyssa Milano as Phoebe Halliwell, Holly Marie Combs as   Piper Halliwell, Shannen Doherty as Prue halliwell and Rose McGowan as Paige Matthews.

Prue Halliwell, who was the eldest sister had the power to move objects with her mind. However, as the series progressed her powers matured where she was able to operate her powers through her hands. Prue being the older sister, was given the task to take care of her younger siblings; in modern times, this occurs alot. Later on, she was killed by a powerful demon.

Piper Halliwell, the second eldest had the power to freeze the environment in which she presided. Similarly, as the show got deeper her power also grew, where she was able to do much stronger things with her powers.

Phoebe Halliwell, the third sister who had  the power of premonition, which she had the ability to see in someone's past. At the beginning of the series she was the most rebellious sister; however, as the show progressed she began to change for the better.

Paige Mattews, the youngest half-sister who has the power which was similar to Prue's, which was to move object with her mind.

It's amazing how a show or movie has the power to remind us of an event or holiday. Has it ever happen to you? It surely did with me, a few weeks ago when I saw an episode of Charmed.
