The Edge of Love

  

  Saw this gorgeous movie a couple weeks ago. The plot is a bit hard to follow until half way through, but the costumes and scenery are beautiful throughout. Basically, it's about two women semi-competing over the affection of a poet, who end up befriending one another. Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller were magnificent. It completely transported me to a different era (the 1940's), and made me wish I had been alive then!

My Sister's Keeper

  The other day, I went to see My Sister's Keeper with a few friends. I read the Jodi Picoult book it is based upon years ago, and must say that I am not impressed with the movie remake. First of all, the ending was entirely different than the ending in the book. And not only that, but the movie ending was TERRIBLE. It's difficult to explain unless you've read the book, which I encourage that you do - Mrs. Picoult's writing is exceptionally good. 

  One good part of the movie was some of the acting. Cameron Diaz surprised me with how believable she was, as did Thomas Dekker. 

  The only other part I enjoyed was the soundtrack. The most memorably good song on it was Girls Just Want to Have Fun - sung by Greg Laswell. Click, listen, enjoy.

Summer

  You know who I love? I love Zooey Deschanel. She is talented, quirky, and really gorgeous! I sometimes think that if there was one person I could swap exteriors with, it would be her. Some photos that illustrate just how pretty she really is:

Additionally, she will be starring in a movie coming out about a month from now, called 500 Days of Summer. Click for a clip from the movie. I don't know how to get videos directly on here yet... but if anyone would be interested in teaching me, it would be much appreciated!

And it's not only me, right?

Who are your girl-crushes??

Cartier Loving

  I came across a video a while back, and it gives me butterflies every time I watch it... 

It's a short black and white film directed by Olivier Dahan. Click here for the youtube link. There's a less blurry version on love.cartier.com.

  I hope you have someone special in mind when you watch this (I know I do!). Enjoy!

Vicky Christina Barcelona

   Just watched Vicky Christina Barcelona, the first Woody Alan movie I've ever actually enjoyed. Other than the plot being off-beat, and the style being very artsy (what with the camera going out of focus every now and then, and the narrator's voice giving it the feel of a nature documentary), my favorite part was definitely Penelope Cruz. Not only was her acting believable and arresting, but the way she dressed was incredibly inspiring. Of course, looking that gorgeous helps... but even though she has a thing or two in the looks department that I'm missing, I am absolutely planning on emulating her style this summer.

When Harry Met Sally

This past weekend, when I still had time to breathe (unlike now, as school has started up again), I watched When Harry Met Sally. I LOVED it. For ages my father has been telling me that it's one of the best movies out there, and now I agree. In fact, I watched it a second time. STRONG recommendation.
