A Walk To Remember

So it's winter vacation... and I'm sick. That provides for the perfect movie watching environment!! So last night, I foolishly watched A Walk to Remember. Wait though, not because it was baad. But because I was amazingly congested, and you shouldn't be if you are crying. Definitely watch this movie when you are healthy enough to cry without getting snot all over yourself. I thought it was a good movie, not a GREAT movie, but just sappy enough without being predictable. No, definitely not predictable. When you watch so many romance movies you can almost predict the plot line of the story without being 5 minutes into the movie, but A Walk To Remember did a good job of putting a little (well actually a big, sad) twist in there. I found the twist kind of sudden though. It's like whoa! At least give me a warning that my heart is going to fall out of my chest here? But yeah, over all a pretty good movie. The lead characters did a fantastic job in their roles. Not to mention I have a new crush on Mr. Shane West. If you're looking for a good movie to bawl your eyes out too, this would be a good choice. 

I am Legend

I couldn't finish this movie. I'm just not into the whole sci-fy fantasy everybody gets a disease and dies except one person who saves the world deal. That shit really freaks me out. Also those diseased people were really, really freaky looking. I thought it was really over-rated. I know I heard a lot of people liked it but I didn't at all. It was too serious, and intense. I know that's some peoples thing, but its defiantly not mine. So I couldn't really give it a fair review, but I didn't like it. At.all. 

It's a Wonderful Life

You're not going to believe this, but before yesterday I had never seen Its a Wonderful Life. And let me tell you I was missing out. It's now one of my favorite Christmas movies. This movie's very Christmas Carol-esque. But I love the Christmas Carol too, so I guess I'm a little biased. But I loved the character of George Bailey, like I wanted to be Mary loved him. From an early point in the movie you got the point that he was a great guy, and he would never do anything to hurt anyone. In fact he would go to great lengths to make sure that nobody was suffering, even if it mean that he had to give a little (or a lot). George was determined to get out of town, but so many things kept him from getting away from Bedford Falls. First his father dies, and he has to take over the business so the rotten Potter didn't get control of the city. But that's only for four years, until his brother gets back from college then he's getting the hell out of dodge. But then more complications get in the way. He re-meets Mary. And after he sees her and talks to her again he knows that he couldn't leave her. So they stay in Bedford Falls. Have kids ect. Life goes on. George isn't getting out of Bedford Falls we know it. So he's convinced he hasn't done anything life changing. Hasn't effected anyone. So then he's pretty much at the end of his rope anyway, but then his uncle looses the money that they need to keep them from going bankrupt. (well he doesn't loose it but Potter has it and of course won't give it back). Then George decides that he's worth more dead than alive, so he plans to kill himself so that his company can get money. But not so fast his guardian angel comes along and makes it so that he's never been born. So they see what's happened to Bedford Falls (or Pottersville now) and basically without George the place had turned into a dump. Stripper joints everywhere. Ya know. Almost every one's in a worse place. So George realizes that he is worth something he has done something important even if he hasn't left Bedford Falls. The town raises the 8,000 dollars for him, no questions asked, Just George is in trouble. Everybody lives happily ever after. If that's not a feel good movie I don't know what is. I will admit I got some tears when they brought in the money at the end. It really makes you value your life a little bit more. It's a great message. Everything you do effects someone else's life path.

Simply having a wonderful christmas time.

I will write about movies/tv/books that I see/read/watch and tell you what I think about them, duh. And maybe music occasionally, depending if they're amazing or horrible. But anyway. I don't know how valuable my opinion will be to you, because some would say I have the taste of a 12 year old boy in movies. And some would say that I have the taste of a 30 year old single woman with absolutely no life. And some would say, well actually I think my tv taste is fine. But yeah those people have just been hit over the head with the better-taste-than-you stick. Yes there is one, you'll just have to trust me on that one. Anyway, I don't want to review anything right now, because I think reviews are better when you have just experienced whatever you're reviewing and the passion is fresh in your veins! *chuckles* Ok I must go watch The Dark Night again, and see how it is the second time. Just for the record I enjoyed it way too much the first time, just ask all of my friends. Jeesh I'm such a nerd. I'll tell you how it is don't worry. Oh and Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time is a genius Christmas song. Just thought I'd add that.
