Crazy, Stupid, Love

Rated PG 13. Comedy/Drama. 118 minutes.

I will start out by saying that I waited FAR TOO LONG to see this movie. Mainly because again, the man sis not want to watch with me. I can't say that I blame him because I cried. Twice. They started talking about how he met his soul mate when he was 15 and thats how old I was when I met Kevin, so sue me if I cried! Another reason it was probably a good idea for us to stay away? Two words. 

RYAN GOSLING.

This man could possibly ruin all other men for me. I dare him to visit my state. I cannot handle how attractive he is. Its unfair really. While I was watching I thought to myself, "Damn! I wish I looked like him!!!" 

Back to the movie. It was super sweet. Totally all about love and how sometimes it works and sometimes, well, it really doesn't. And its hard and it sucks. But it can be the most amazing thing at the same time. Even when you aren't looking for it, love can sweep you off your feet.

I like movies that show things in all different perspectives, young to old. Everyone can relate. You can relate based on your current situation, on previous encounters or see what you have to look forward to. I couldn't relate to all parts of this movie, but it was still real to me. It was funny, it was tender, and it made me cry like a little love sick puppy. I too love love. I love seeing it and being in it. Its the best feeling in the world, but also, more scary than anything you can feel. I wish I hadn't waited so long to see it.

Sherlock Holme:s A Game of Shadows

Rated PG 13. Action. 129 minutes

I am so glad I watched the first Sherlock Holmes movie shortly before I saw the new one. It reminded me of the story, the bad guy is the bad guy behind everything in the first film, and it reminded me of the speed of the movie. This is a great sequel. It was right in step with the first. The dialogue, the story, the way it was filmed, everything was the same as the first. Not to say I felt like I had seen it already. But it stayed so true to what Ritchie had intended with the first movie. Robert Downey is just as adorable and quirky as ever. Jude Law still puts up with his crap,but they have this unbreakable bond. I don't think Holmes got in as much trouble with the law as he did in the first, but he is just as insane!

This movie was a lot of fun, and really perfect if you loved the first film.

Our Idiot Brother

Rated R. 90 min. Comedy/Drama

I. Love. Paul. Rudd.

There. I said it. He is fabulous, I have loved him since Clueless all those years ago. I love every line that he says in every movie that he has ever been in. He's a hottie, hes hilarious, and he can act, what more can you ask from a guy?? Again, this was a movie I REALLY wanted to see in theaters, but was unable to because of the boyfriend. 

'Brother' is about Ned. Ned is the nicest, most trusting and loving guy you've ever met. He wants to make everyone happy and he's honest. A CLOTHED police officer asked him for weed and yes, he bought it and yes, he went to jail. But thats just his nature! Like he says, he thinks people are honestly good and if you give them the chance to prove that to you, hopefully more often than not, they'll impress you. He says whats on his mind. He observes people, he is simple. Unfortunately, his observations and trusting personality get him into trouble. He lets people know things that were told to him in confidence. It all ends well and his family realizes that the reasons he was driving them crazy are the reasons they love him the most. 

It really was a sweet story, and something I needed to see at the time. I too like to think there is good in everyone and that people want to do the right thing. I don't believe in keeping secrets, but being honest. Ned is someone we all can learn from. 

God that sounded like the end of a high school English paper...
