Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Point blank, I liked this movie. Not luhhvedd. But liked, a lot. The characters were quirky, the jokes were funny, the city was New York, and there was a dash of romance in there (well actually more than a dash) what more could I ask for? Caroline was my favorite character. I like the non-main characters, but still have an impact on the story line, in an amusing way. Oh yes those kinda people are my people. I loved the fact that Nick and Norah were so different, but so similar at the same time. I found it cute that they bonded over music, and their uncommon feelings toward a girl. It was good I'd recommend it. It does have a similar feel to Juno, Micheal Cera aside. But even that's a stretch

The Nanny Diaries

To start off, I just have to say damn you dvd player/dvd/netflix/whatever made this movie's graphics sooo assy. Alright on to the movie. The only reason I kept watching this movie, even though every time the screen itself moved I couldn't tell what the hell was going on (ok done promise) is because I really enjoyed this movie. It was oddly sweet. I was expecting it to be more of a comedy and less of a story with a moral. Although it was pretty funny. I quickly came to love all the quirky characters, especially Annie (maybe that's because I saw a lot of her in me...) Heck I even liked the mom a bit. This is definitely a movie for anyone who has ever had to "deal" with children (ie moms, dads, nannies, babysitters). I will not lie it made me want to see my little goddaughter. I was a little disappointed in the end (*spoiler!!!! I wanted her to see Grover again Ok spoiler done)But other than my trivial complaint this movie was really good and sweet. I think I might even add it to my favorites list *gasp!!* I honestly can't remember a movie that I've seen like it, so I won't compare it to a movie...
