The Chick Flick

I saw 27 Dresses last Saturday with my mom. It's not for you movie snobs out there, but I thought it was really cute; chick flicks can be good, too!! It is funny, and it has a good message. It stars Katherine Heigl, James Marsden (who is adorable, by the way), and Edward Burns. I wanted to see it because I loved Katherine Heigl in Knocked Up, although I am not a Grey's Anatomy fan. Plus, I was with my mom, so obviously we weren't going to see I Am Legend or Meet the Spartans or anything like that. Not that I want to see those movies. I heard I Am Legend is pretty good, but I don't watch zombie movies (or anything that resembles zombie movies). And Meet the Spartans just looks stupid. Anyway, 27 Dresses is worth seeing if you like movies like that. By the way, there is a classic "changing outfits" montage as seen in just about every girly movie. But, I really I liked it; I think I may have even shed a tear or two.

My Favorite Movie

"Scaling the Cliffs of Insanity, Battling Rodents of Unusual Size, Facing torture in the Pit of Despair. - True love has never been a snap."
The Princess Bride has been my favorite movie since I can remember. This film has it all: comedy, action, romance and more. It stars Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Christopher Guest, Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant, and Billy Crystal, among others and is directed by Rob Reiner. One of my favorite scenes is the sword fight between Westley (Elwes) and Inigo Montoya (Patinkin). It fills me with excitment and at the same time has me cracking up. The movie was released in 1987 (I was planning on only writing about new movies, but I couldn't neglect this classic.) If you have never seen this movie please go rent it tonight. I promise you will fall in love with it.

My First Blog

I've decided that in my blog I will discuss interesting movies. I will write about movies that I have seen and think others should see, as well. Don't worry, I will never ruin any endings.

"A comedy about growing up... and the bumps along the way." I recently saw the movie Juno, starring Ellen Page, Michael Cera, and Jason Bateman. I was surprised to see Jennifer Garner in the movie, as well, and was very impressed with her performance. (If you like The Office, there is a cameo appearance by Rainn Wilson!) This movie looked especially interesting to me because I am a big fan of Arrested Development, which also stars Jason Bateman and Michael Cera. Juno is nominated for three Golden Globes including Best Motion Picture. It deserves the awards; I loved this movie. It is hilarious but also incredbly sweet and charming. It was cast perfectly; the acting could not be better. Juno is playing everywhere now so go check it out!
