"Hello, stranger."

Closer is my favorite movie ever made. It even beats out Eternal Sunshine in my book.





The cast alone is astounding. Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Clive Owen, and Julia Roberts. Need I say more?

The movie is a twisted story of four strangers who somehow become entangled in each other's lives through lies, deceit, infidelity, and ultimately, love.

The emotion of these characters is so captivating that I still get chills every time I watch it. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I've seen this movie countless times. Seriously, countless.

I suggest this movie to every person I've ever met. Not only is the writing genius, but it's one of rare films that challenges your convictions.

Seeing this movie for the first time is thrilling and a bit shocking. Seeing it again will just make you admire and love it.

Truly, there are no words to do this movie justice. JUST WATCH IT.

My favorite scene:


Perfection.

Slumdog Millionaire KILLED at the Oscars!

It won EIGHT out of ten Academy Awards. That is amazing.

"Even artichokes have hearts."

Amélie is one of my favorite foreign films. It is a movie I watch to get myself out of any bad mood. The main character, Amélie, just has a certain charm about her.



Somehow, she consumes you.

Amélie is always inside of her own head, and the movies takes you through her imagination and thoughts. She has a way of showing you that the simple things in life can sometimes be magical, like skipping stones or helping out a stranger. She takes you on an adventure of playing silly games with a man she would fall in love with. All this in the setting of Paris, France. It is a beautiful film that I know I could never forget even if I wanted to.

Wristcutters: A Love Story

Today I watched Wristcutters with Shannyn Sossamon and Patrick Fugit. I loved it. There's nothing too particular and life-shattering about this movie, but it was fun to watch.

I would say this is a "feel good" movie.



Boy gets his heartbroken. Boy slits his wrists and goes to an afterlife for suicides. Boy falls in love with girl he meets in the afterlife. Dark, but somehow very humorous. And best of all, a great love story.

12 more days until OSCARS!

"You're just some guy who made me laugh at a party once."

WOW. That was my reaction to Revolutionary Road.

I knew I had to see Kate Winslet, obviously one of my favorite actresses, and Leonardo DiCaprio together again in theaters. Another movie I was willing to pay the ridiculous price for a movie ticket these days. I just couldn't miss this.

Now, I'm not one of those delusional Titanic fans hoping that this movie would be a delightful remake of a cheesy love story that's loosely based on a tragic truth. If you can't tell, I was never big on Titanic.

As I watched the previews of their new movie, I knew that this one would be different. This would be something I would actually enjoy.

Though sometimes previews can be misleading, I had a strong feeling Revolutionary Road would be feel real. And it did.

This movie is as raw as it is honest.

Revolutionary Road is a story of a young suburban couple in the 1950s finding out what their dreams are, and realizing those dreams could be very unattainable. The entire time, i sat in my chair mesmerized by these characters.

I would give more of a synopsis, but it's something you just have to see for yourself.

And I'll leave you with the official trailer:

I wasn't kidding.

When i said i could watch Eternal Sunshine every day... I was serious.
I started my day with a little Jim and Kate :)

"You know me, I'm implusive."

Today i re-watched one of my all-time favorite movies, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.


This film is one i can watch every day of my life, if i actually had the time. Not only is it beautifully made, but the writing is pure genius.

The cast includes Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Tom Wilkinson, Kirsten Dunst, and more. It's no wonder that it blows me away each time.

After an impulsive decision to erase him from her memory, Clementine (Winslet) provokes her boyfriend Joel (Carrey) to return the favor. The whole movie is one twisted suspense that only makes sense until the end. Michel Gondry, the director, takes you into the mind and field of Joel's memories only to prove that one's memories are actually sacred.

It is a romantic comedy like no other. Although, the humor in it may be a little dry for some tastes. This is Jim Carrey's most dramatic serious role, and one should not expect his acting to reflect anything remotely close to his other work. Carrey is still brilliantly funny, but on a whole different level.

I guess it amazes me that this movie still gives me butterflies, as much as i watch it.

This is my all time favorite scene. That goes for any movie I've seen.


"Watching 'Eternal Sunshine,' you don't just watch a love story- you fall in love with what love really is. A journey into the beauty of connection." -Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

"This is our destiny."

If you haven't gone to see Slumdog Millionaire yet, I suggest you do before it goes out of theaters. It's one of the movies that is most compelling on the big screen.

This movie is easily one of the best I've seen all year. It has already received rave reviews and is expected to be the highlight of the Oscar's this year.

Slumdog is a story based on the novel Q&A by Indian author Vikas Swarup. The film begins with the main character Jamal being accused of cheating his way to winning India's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. The story unfolds as director Danny Boyle takes you on a journey into the life and experiences of this main character and how he came to be on the show. A uncanny love story is woven into the plot and seems to give the entire movie purpose.

I feel as though any synopsis written by me or by anyone for that matter could never do this film justice. It is just that magical.

i'm literally in love with this movie.
