2 Days in New York

I can't wait to see this movie. It's the sequel to 2 Days in Paris, a wonderful film from a few years ago. I think Julie Delpy is so talented and gorgeous (girl crush!). I want to be just like her when I grow up.

Your Sister's Sister

Very excited to see this. I love these three actors.

Take This Waltz

 Ayayay! This looks like a thoughtful little film. Great cast too!

Lagoon Living

This is the lagoon villa at the Villa Seminyak in Bali.

And I would like to go to there.

Cinematic Daydreams

Another video post, you say? Yes, although this one is more of an auditory treat than anything. "To Build a Home/That Home" by The Cinematic Orchestra, feat. Patrick Watson. AKA the most perfect dramatic movie trailer music. Case in point, Another Earth, in which it is featured. I soooo want to see it (maybe it's just the song, I don't know). But I'm not sure it will be released in Seattle. It looks so heartbreaking and INTERESTING. I sang it in my head this weekend as I stumbled along a very Northwesty path solo to the beach at Ocean Shores. And maaaybe I pretended I was in a dramatic movie... Who cares how I occupy my mind when I'm alone?

The beach was so different from my California beaches... the tide was out so far, and the seafoam was brown. And there were sand dollars everywhere, and I really wanted to take one, but most of them were still occupied by creatures. So I took a piece of bark inside (roll your eyes, please). And people were clamming. I actually had no idea what they were doing, so I had to ask a mom and her daughter. I felt really curious and outgoing (five points for the self-proclaimed introvert... eh, I took the Meyers Briggs last week, and apparently I'm an extrovert now...)

Yes, so, wonderful weekend at Ocean Shores on the WA coast, specifically Seabrook, which is a new "town" (I don't think it's an actual town yet). It's just a bunch of new super-nice beach houses all scrunched together, and everyone rides free bicycles around, and there's a little pub and a store that sells "sundries." Yes, sundries. It's basically Pleasantville; super weird, but riding beach cruisers around the 'hood was really enjoyable.

Mostly, I just laid in bed with Leslie and Danielle though. We shared a King. Sized bed. And there was a hot tub. And we grilled salmon. And created a lot of inside jokes that I won't bore you with.

Been Rich All My Life

Highly recommend the documentary Been Rich All My Life, which captures the stories of five women whom in their heyday danced on stage at such prestigious places as the Apollo Theater and the Cotton Club in Harlem. And today in their 80s and 90s they are STILL hoofing! They have all led such vibrant lives and are so sassy and love the hell out of dancing. I hope when I'm that age, I'm still able to do what I love.

Broken English

Just watched this film, starring Parker Posey (love love LOVE). And a French actor named Melvil Poupaud. Geez, he's ugly.

This movie is AMAZING. Can't stress that enough.

Watch the trailer:



And my favorite quote from the film:

"It’s not wrong to want someone to love you. Most people are together just so they are not alone. But some people want magic. I think you are one of those people."

Thank you, Drew.

So Sweet

Inkheart

I'm such a sucker for nouveau-fairytale adventure films (think Stardust, The Princess Bride, The Fall) and so I'm very excited about Inkheart.

Sunshine Cleaning

Anything Amy Adams touches is gold. I'm so stoked to see this film.

Rock Me, Sexy Jesus

I am in a thoroughly enjoyable Shakespeare course right now, in which I have discovered that the greatest playwright of all time was secretly a feminist.
But that's a whole other story.
What I really want to say is this: I hate "Hamlet." Maybe I just hate Hamlet the character. He is whiny. He, according to my brilliant professor, Tom Amorose, is an "emo." Hamlet is so boo-hooey over the fact that his dad was secretly killed by Uncle Claudius and that his mom married Uncle Claudius promptly after dad's funeral. Hey, I'd be upset too. But instead of taking my sweet time, contemplating suicide, acting like a crazy person, and getting pissed at my girl Ophelia, I would just be like, "Yo Claudius, I'm gonna pop a cap in thou ass."
"Hamlet" is rotten, but I'm hoping it's long anticipated sequel will be better. Yes, that's right. Despite everyone dying at the end of "Hamlet," a movie is coming out this summer that will miraculously revive the characters. And Jesus is in it too! I might be sent to hell for seeing this movie, but at least I'll have a few laughs. Watch the trailor for HAMLET 2.

The Fall

"The Fall" comes out May 9.
I am counting down the days.
From the trailer, you can see its going to be a captivating story, visually orgasmic (that's right, ORGASMIC) and it stars my new crush, Lee Pace, one of the most attractive men I've ever laid eyes on:
