Amost Famous was Almost Interesting

I'm not really sure why I started watching this movie.  It popped up on my Netflix account and I figured why not.  I had seen it at Wal-Mart more times than I care to remember.  So, I picked it up and decided to give it a try.

It's kind of interesting.  I mean, I like music well enough, but I've never been to a concert, much less met any band or singer or anything.  I have a friend who's been to more concerts than I could attend in a life time, even if I wanted to.  She knows tons of bands too.  I feel like she might enjoy this movie more than I am.

My other friend might also enjoy it more than me.  She's a journalist.  I never got into journalism... I just talk about movies.

I love Zooey Deschanel.  She looks so young.  I wish she was in the movie more... oh well.

Speaking of people who look super young - Anna Paquin.  I loved her as in Fly Away Home and Rogue in the X-Men movies.  I honestly haven't kept up with her lately; I'm just not into vampires or porn - so yeah.  I liked her in her past work.

Kate Hudson looks young too, but not near as young as anyone else.  I guess she just hasn't changed as much as everyone else.  Her coat, however, does need to change.  It's awful

It really is an okay movie, I'm just not into it.  I'll finish it.

Review to Letters to Juliet

Can I just say that I love Amanda Seyfried?  She's fantastic all around.  I've loved her since Mean Girls and have continued to stalk her through her films ever since.  I wish I had eyes like her ... anyhow, moving on to the film...





I love the concept.  Okay, it is based on something that happens daily, though I'm not sure what groping Juliet's statue has to do with it, but it's nice that people still believe true love exists.  I'm just glad that this story isn't completely based on a falsehood.  At the same time, however, I don't get why Romeo and Juliet is supposed to be the greatest love story ever - they die and don't get to share that love.  What kind of love story is that?

Side Note: Gnomeo and Juliet ... not a fan.  In fact, I'm offended.

Moving on.  I hate this romantic movie slum we're stuck in.  We aren't watchign two single people fall in love anymore.  We're watching girls who are previosly engaged to some jerk only to fall in love with the right guy within a week.  That's terrible.  What kind of comment is that on society: please girls, get engaged, but remember that you're true love is still out there, so keep looking.  AWFUL.

I really did enjoy this movie though.  True love is still true love.  And as idealist as I'd like to be, I am forced to stay realistic.  True love is a rare thing and these romantic movies and books are setting us up to fall on our faces and increase the divorce rate exponentially.  Settle for mediocrity people because the likelyhood of you probably arne't going to find true love.

Still liked the movie though.
