Grads, Greeks and recent sadness.

Now, Post-Grad wasn't on "my list" per-say, but it just came out on payperview. I approached this movie in rather the same way I did about "I Love You, Beth Cooper", just kinda like... mehh. But, since I am usually a fan of Alexis Bledel's work (you can also find her in the tv show "Gilmore Girls", which I LOVE, and "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"), and since I have been feeling irrationally sad about everything lately, and was home alone, looking for something light and easy, I decided to give it a try. The movie is about a recent college graduate who has to move back in with her parents while she decides what to do next, and yadda yadda. In my opinion, it had a pretty cool cast (Michael Keaton, Jane Lynch and Carol Burnett also starred). And lest we forget Ryden (Alexis Bledel)'s best friend Adam, played by Zach Gilford (ADORABLE!), and her hot Brazilian neighbor Rodrigo Santoro.

I wasn't a fan of Ryden and her hot Brazilian neighbor, David's meet cute... well, not the second one at least. I liked the pancakes part, not the cat part. (How about that for a cliffhanger?!) But it did make for entertaining talks with Andrew.

I was emotionally moved from one scene to the next, but let's be honest here.. I'm a sucker for rom-coms!

NEXT.... Get Him to the Greek!

Unfortunately, I don't have a whole lot to share on this movie, because it's still in theaters, and I'm sure a lot of people are planning on going to see it, so I don't want to give anything away....aaaand because I took a nap somewhere in the middle, so I'm missing a rather large and important chunk of the movie. I will say that there were some good one-liners, and some cool editing effects/camera work. It was not the funniest movie of 2010, but if you're looking for something goofy with a positive "universal truth" and guaranteed happy ending, this just might be the movie for you.

Ok, now I hate complaining (unless it's about something funny that I can make jokes about), but I also think it's important to own your feelings, and be honest witcha yo'self. So, I'm doing my best to find the humor in this situation. I mentioned above that everything has been making me irrationally sad, but it's really true. The past couple days I have cried about so many things, it's crazy. Like, even silly things.. and combine that w/ the fact that I haven't been too keen on how things have been going this past week, and it's an ugly combination. It reminds me of when T.O.M was here a while ago and I was so emotional that like, I would cry when I was hungry or something. It was like I digressed back into baby-form and my only form of communication was tears. This time, T.O.M is not a factor, so my only idea as to why I'm bordering on depression (not really), is perhaps because of my surgery? The countdown is at 5 days. The closer we get to that date, the worse I feel. And that, my friends, is why I will be spending the weekend at Disney! What's the best cure for utter sadness? A trip to the happiest place on Earth, of course!

Movies.

I posted a note on my Facebook asking for movie recs. I need to watch more movies, being a film student and all. And since I'm going to have a lot of recovery time on my hands this summer, I feel like now's the perfect time to start. I figured I'll watch as many as I can, and then recap my thoughts here.

#1. Shutter Island.

Going in, I had heard mixed reviews about this movie. It seemed like people either loved it or hated it. My thoughts? I liked it very much. Normally, I'm not for horror/thriller things, but this one didn't give me nightmares. The crazy lady who shh'd us in the trailer and the film, still freaked me out... but other than that and a few small jumps (that, and cuddling Allie, my movie watching buddy and her new puppy under a blanket), I faired pretty well.

Let's talk technical. The lighting in this movie was incredible! I was so inspired. And Leo's performance of course, as always, was amazing! I would definitely recommend this movie to people, even if they already know what happens at the end. I knew the ending coming in (from hearing/seeing people talk about it), and it didn't ruin my watching experience in the slightest.

Let's talk movies... and anything else!

Flo-rida

I'm baaaack!

So far, my visit back to Florida has been mixed with some awesome experiences and some not-so-awesome experiences. I'm trying to clear my mind of the bad ones, and only focus on the good times to come. We'll see how that goes.

Um, what else?

Oh. I really need a job. Really, really need a job. So that I can pay rent this summer. Because I have $0 now. But it has to be a job that's okay with me taking a couple weeks off for my surgery...which by the way, is in 22 days.

Felt like I should check in. It's been a while. My legs are also "heeeella" sunburned.

That's a little San Fran lingo for ya...with an Andrew twist. (Because I'm watching The Office and they keep showing Angela's cats). I miss my SF best friend.
