Juno Thunder cats are go!

There are very few teenagers in real life who can match Juno MacGuff in her assortment of quips for any situation. For Juno, it all started with a chair. True, Paulie Bleeker and his tangy orange Tic-Tacs play a big part in her story, but without the chair there would be no story.

Whether you identify as a Treblemaker or a Bella, Pitch Perfect is full of hilarious sayings that range from quick quips to absolutely bizarre banters.

Nacho Libre Nachoooo!

Only one thing can be said about Nacho Libre: Its thee best! Jack Black stars in this strange tale of an orphan who dreams of becoming a Mexican wrestler, despite his upbringing in a monastery. Coincidentally, Nacho also falls in love at the same time, but will he be able to win the heart of his true love and become a great luchero?

The Emperors New Groove

Emperor Kuzco, a spoiled and selfish young ruler, wants to tear down Pachas village to make room for his new vacation home. But before construction begins, Kuzco is transformed into a llama, and the only person who can help him is Pacha. Through his example of truthfulness and doing what is right, even when it is difficult, Pacha teaches Kuzco how to care about others and become a better person and emperor.

Kuzco can definitely use some lessons in kindness and tact, but his blunt and tact-less conversations make for some truly entertaining material for any comedic occasion.

Ice Age

Manny the mammoth, Sid the sloth and Diego the saber-toothed tiger are the most unlikely group of prehistoric creatures anyone can possibly imagine. But desperate times call for desperate measures. A furious frost is on its way to begin the Ice Age, so the trio must work together to take care of a small human baby.

With such diverse and dynamic personalities all in one herd, its easy to see why Ice Age has so many memorable lines you and your kids will laugh at over and over.

THE BIG EASY — Yeah, yeah, we all know that New Orleans is stuffed to the gills will incredible musicians.

But knowing that fact and then hearing that fact are two different things. You can step into any number of jazz clubs on any given night on Bourbon Street, and you’ll probably be impressed with virtually every act. Or you can sit at home on your comfy couch and watch this featured video.

In the video, you’ll see a woman who is in the groove. She is swinging hard, and wailing on her clarinet with a practiced expertise that makes it sounds so easy.

From note one you’ll be drawn in; your appreciation will grow with every second, and then your face will melt off when you realize how incredible she really is.

If you’ve never played a woodwind or a brass, you may not know everything that comes with a performance like this. Lung capacity and breath control are huge factors in keeping your notes clear and loud, and hitting those high notes is especially difficult.

So when this woman hits that high note and holds it for several seconds, you know you’re dealing with an exceptional musician. It means she has worked hard for years to develop skill on top of her natural talent, and we get to benefit.

It kinda makes you wonder how we let people get away with mumble rap and autotune when talent like this exists in the world.

I wish this video were longer, and I wish I had more information about this woman, but as it is, we’ll just have to appreciate the little flavor of New Orleans jazz posted by the Facebook group Clarinet Life.
