Well hello again... on my last post I promised two reviews and after seeing another heart moving girly movie I think its time to make amends... so here we go...
Down to you
This movie came out in 2000 but to me it was sooooo 90's, haha had to say it... Freddie Prince Jr. stars in it along with Julia Stiles, the movie basically takes you on the evolution of a relationship... the honeymoon period and so on... if you ever had a long term relationship there are things that you will feel moved by... i recomend this... it is full of cliches... but all in all... i think its good...
Sweet November
Well I'm amazed... just found out this is a remake... 1968 remake... hmmm... interesting... haha moving on... Neo... *cough* I mean Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron star in this one... I must confess that at first I couldn't stand the main characters... they were sooooo exagerated... but I still gave the movie a chance and well... I ended up almost crying with it... the plot goes around this big time advertising guy who ends up meeting this crazy hippish girl that turns his life upside down... it's not your tipical boy meets girl and the world is upside down type movie... trust me on this one... it has a special spin to it... that's all I'll say... or I'll end up spoiling and we dont want that... now do we?
Autumn in New York
Ahhhh Richard Gere... I don't care if that guy is old I think he is truly a handsome actor (bet you were expecting a comment like, ahhh I dont care if he's old I think he's hot... hahahaha! well no :P beat you to it)... and Winona Ryder... this movie almost made me cry as well... I think I'm really a sucker for chic flicks haha... anywho... the story follows two characters who fall in love... a rich ladies man, a simple yet enchanting young girl and how the phrase "All I'm able to offer you is this, nothing more until it ends" can have different meanings... I know I know... it dosen't sound unique... but... hey! trust me on this one... would I risk mentioning it on my previous post if it wasn't worth it? curious? go for it ;)
Well this is the end of the post... I hope you enjoy the movies as much as I did... I hope I didnt spoil any of them and got you curious into seeing at least one...
au revoir! ;)
something to think... something to feel...

Has a movie ever made you cry?
Not because of how sad it made you feel... but more like it moved you... made you feel a tad envious of what the character feels or how he or she shows his or her feelings...
and yes... I'm speaking of love...
call me a romantic... call me naive... or whatever you want... but you have to admit... being in love and loved for is something that we all long for... and the people who have had that or have it right now... know... that there is nothing like the feeling of being loved and accepted for who you are... not the way you look or the way people see you... but for you...
and are there for you... as you are there for them...
right now I finished seeing two movies... autumn in new york and sweet november... I will give the review one day... but for now... I had the urge to say it...
to be in love is the best thing in the world... to be able to smile and share your time and afection... to look forward to seeing that person... even if you saw him or her a few minutes ago... to dream of a future... it can be something simple... like going to eat... movies... on a trip... it dosent matter... as long as you are with that person...
to have your heart race when you think of something you shared... a joke... a smile... a hug... words... whatever you want....
i dare say that the beatles we right... you can have all the posesions in the world and still feel empty... and you can be poor but feel like the richest person in the world... in the end... all you need is love...

Movies movies movies...

Well these past few days I've spent watching movies... so here are a few recommendations if you are completely bored...
first... the girly ones ha ha... sorry but I've been in a romantic comedy mood...
How to lose a guy in 10 days...
This one takes me back... it came out in 2003... starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey... directed by Donald Petrie...
It pretty much goes around on how bad a date can go and how much can one be patient... it get's mushy... buuuuuuuuuuut I know guys who lived through it... so it's not all lost ;P ha ha... I give it a good ol' 7 out of 10... it's a nice movie you probably won't remember when you think of your top 10 movies of all time... but I guarantee it will make you smile at least once... you choose if you give it a chance or not ;)
The Holiday
I was curious about this one since the first time I saw the trailer... it came out in 2006... starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black. Directed by Nancy Meyers (just found out she made What Women Want, also very recomendable).
Now I know, the combination of actors is kind of weird... but I gave it a chance today... and it almost made me cry... it's a really touching movie... especially if you have ever been in the "unrequited love" category... it makes you laugh... it almost made me cry... it lifts your spirits and makes you feel better (even if your heart isn't aching)... I loved Kate Winslet's character, the way she expresses herself... I dare say... that this is one new addition to my top 10 chick flicks :) most definetly... I give it a 8.5 out of 10 (its was a 9 but Cameron Diaz isn't an actress I'm very fond of... so it took some points away ha ha)... conclusion if you have the time and in the mood to watch a chick flick... I hope you enjoy it as much as I did...
Definetly, Maybe
This is a recent one... came out this year (2008)... starring Ryan Reynolds (I remember this guy from that old TV show Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place daaaaamn loooong time ago... can't believe it's been 10 years of that... too long)... also Abigail Breslin (the girl from Little Miss Sunshine), Elizabeth Banks (well I really didn't know who she was till I saw this movie, sorry), Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers) and Rachel Weisz (The Mummy)... directed by Adam Brooks (he wrote French Kiss (another cute chick flick I recommend) and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (hey! dont judge me <_< !)) Ok ok after a loooong actor and director section... we get to this... I'm sorry but it ain't a reaaaaaally great movie... It's entertaining and it has a new spin on how the story is told and evolves... but... well... I give it a 5.5 out of 10... the audience can get caught inside the movie... but it's pretty easy to get distracted... the main character is a guy... so we are seeing things from the guy's point of view... if you have no other thing to do... and already saw the holiday (ha ha) you could check this one out... Ok... we are done with the chick flicks... one more movie review and I'm heading to bed... Meet the Robinsons...
This movie was made by the Walt Disney Animation Studios (Pixar wasn't involved)... when I first heard about this movie... I was totally indifferent... felt like it was another Disney movie that wasn't going to make it... It didn't catch my eye... as hard as it tried... nope... wasn't interested... at all... buuuut... Sefe told me that he liked it... now curiosity was a good reason to watch it and suprisingly... its really good... maybe it was because I started watching it with 0 expectations (the speed racer effect I call it)... but I found it funny and really enjoyable... the villan is so great and the family is just crazy... I give it a 8... I would definetly watch it again... and if this review convinced you and you are considering seeing it... keep you're eyes open and you'll find hidden mickeys and cool stuff around ;) thats all I have to say about that...
Now before I go... animation wise... I think they started (the new name and image of the studio) with the right foot as they're first movie (they have to work really hard to stand out of Pixar's shadow in the 3D animation area... eventhough it's said that 2D is still going to be worked there)
Ok... that's enough for today... it's late and I'm sleepy...
I hope you enjoyed this and find at least one movie interesting... enjoy!
