In all likeliness, The Paperboy is a hot mess of the movie. The buzz is all about Nicole Kidman's golden shower. BUT my favorite part of the review, is the director's quote. (Vulture)

Okay, this doesn't sound real, more like a storyline from Grey's Anatomy. (CafeMom)

I hope Tom Hardy interviews never change. I laughed so hard and so loud. I really like him after this. (Vulture)

I am probably the only one that doesn't find this totally sick but actually pretty funny. (Harvey Nichols Summer Ad via Telegraph)

Which lead me to this hilarious and awesome Christmastime "Walk of Shame" commercial.(Guardian)

I do and do not agree with this woman's 20/20 take on casual sex. I think it comes down to motivation behind a person's action. (CNN)

The trailer for Perks of Being a Wallflower is really cute and captures those moments of high school youth. The sample chapters of the book didn't do it for unfortunately. (IMDB)

These look much cuter on H7. Also, I love what Posh is wearing. (Lainey Gossip)

Pretty Badass

What I Learned Today

Imagine holding hands with someone for 1500 years.

I can't wait to listen to this new single because I LOVE her.

I feel like Miss Piggy is the new Betty White - she's everywhere these days.

I want to buy this but I don't have a Blu-Ray but good info on the Harry Potter studio tours - I want to go!

This does NOT make me happy.

Yes, I can't afford this but I want it. Gorgeous, huh? I love the design and beading by the collarbone. It reminds me of 1920s and it's glamorous.

Movie Wish List: Fall 2011

It's been awhile since I really wanted to go to the movies. The last time was this summer when I saw Bridesmaids with Erica and Horrible Bosses and Crazy, Stupid, Love with Jed. But with awards season coming up around the bend there are a bunch of movies I want to see:

50/50: it stars one of my Freebie Fives: JGL
Moneyball: it's Brad Pitt's Oscar Bid
Drive: it stars another Freebie Five: Ryan Gosling and it's supposed to be really, really good
Ides of March: Clooney's Oscar Bid, great reviews and Ryan Gosling
The Debt: I saw trailers before then something happened and now it's officially in theaters

Your Highness

I stayed up super late last night slaving away on my graphic design 2 (GD2- for us New Schoolers) therefore beat today after class but I decided to enjoy the day and take myself to a movie. I've been wanting to see Limitless and The Adjustment Bureau but wasn't in the mood for a thriller or I might have seen my man Jakey G in Source Code. Instead I saw Your Highness because I needed to laugh.

I wasn't sold at first but my handy Fandango app had reviews that called the movie "like Princess Bride but with a lot of cussing" "beware of multiple of f bombs and sex jokes" "not for everyone - make sure you like crude humor" - you get the picture. It sounded just what the movie doctor order. Those reviewers called it as is. I didn't laugh at some of the more obvious jokes but it delivered. It's goofy, campy, almost annoying but that's because its characters are playing up to their roles. I also got to see all of the movie trailers that are getting me pumped up for upcoming movies.

The trailer for your enjoyment:

Review: Red Riding Hood

I treated myself to Red Riding Hood last night and it was exactly what I wanted and expected.

It was mysterious, sexy, intriguing and slightly suspenseful.

I enjoyed the mystical environment conveyed by the film's cinematography and color palette. It's a beautiful film. The suspense tied in well with the fairytale it's based on. It felt like a re-imagined version as it was supposed to.

I don't want to spoil anything but there was a nice twist and an unexpected but hoped for ending.

If you're looking for a sexy suspense then this is it. 

Movies I'm Excited to See: Red Riding Hood, The Adjustment Bureau and Limitless

I'm on spring break from Parsons and I'm planning on catching up on my movie watching. I want to see Red Riding Hood or The Adjustment Bureau tonight. Not sure which will work out but I wanted to show off the movie trailers:

Apparently I'm really in the mood for thrillers!

Movies Wanted, Movies Watched

As I blogged about here and here, I had been dying to see Easy A and The Switch and since my move I have! When one is unemployed, movie going is a favorite option of mine.

I saw Easy A the day it opened, this last Friday and it was solid. Emma Stone is likable, believable, relatable and really adorable as the lead high school heroine. I'm not a huge Penn Bagley fan but I did like him in this role. Amanda Bynes nails the Jesus freak foil to Emma's Olive. I was pleasantly surprised because it had some unexpected elements and twists. It started out a little differently than I thought but it told the story it promised in its trailer. I would highly recommend it. It's particularly great for high schoolers.  

The Switch was much like I expected from the trailers. J.Anniston didn't annoy as much as usual, the chemistry between J.Bateman and the little boy was absolutely precious - my favorite part, J.Goldblum was hilarious and a great foil for J.Bateman and J.Lewis was hysterical and added some much needed laugh out loud humor. A predictable satisfying romcom.

I've also seen and recommend: The Town, The Romantics and Get Low.

The Finale of the Worldwide Phenomenon! HP Deathly Hallows Trailer

It's finally here and done with major steeze. Chills every time, "because I have something worth living for." CANNOT wait. I think I'll need to see it twice :).

Cute Trailer: The Switch

It's a shock to me that I want to see a Jen Anniston movie because a) she makes some not so great movies as of late b)the not so great movies are not so great romcoms (the worst kind) and c) she plays Rachel Green over and over again.

But it's not a shock to me that I want to see it because a) Jason Bateman is a freebie 5 b) Jeff Goldblum is kind of amazing and his sarcasm in the trailer is outstanding c) the kid is really cute d) Juliette Lewis! (I wonder if her and Anniston ever talked about the Pitt onset) and e) when J.Anniston's on the ball with her comic timing it is really enjoyable to watch. Look more reasons to watch than not!

Check it yourself:



I love the chemistry between J.Bateman and the adorable little boy; it's just too freakin' cute.

Christmas 09 Movie Wish List

I'm really, really excited about some of the movies that are coming out in the next couple of weeks. This is my movie wish list:

Up in the Air (I will always have a soft spot for Mr.Clooney)
Sherlock Holmes (RDJ has recently moved up in my freebie five list to spot #2, Jude Law is looking hot again, and I love me some Rachel McAdams- plus it looks like a kick ass movie. I love the dark gritty version of London Mr.Ritchie )
The Blind Side
The Princess and the Frog (Although I do kind of blame Disney for the fact that most women are waiting and wanting their own prince charming).
It's Complicated (Reminds of how much I loved Something's Gotta Give)

For your pleasure the Sherlock Holmes trailer:
