THIS IS A LONG ONE Y'ALL

In the past week or so I've seen 3 good movies, one of which I wasn't so sure about, but it turned out to be a lot better than I had anticipated. These 3 movies were: The Romantics, The Social Network, and Country Strong, respectively. (Country Strong being the one I "wasn't so sure about")
The Romantics is a Plum Pictures indie film (which I love), but more importantly, it had Adam Brody in it. What I really love about Adam Brody (besides his undeniable beauty) is the fictional (but hopefully somewhere out there) character he played on "The O.C.," Seth Cohen. My one love in life... well who am I kidding, I fall in love everyday.

WHAT... a lovely creation...





Unfortunately, the drawbacks of indie films is that they're so... "indie"... In case you're not catching my drift, this implies that even I, with my authoritative research skills (which is really just my relentless curiosity, persistence, and ample amount of time on the computer), can't find ANYTHING of value regarding the movie's components, including the impeccable soundtrack and quality script filled with innumerable eloquent (I like that word) quotations. So, I GUESS I'm going to have to buy it when it comes out and watch the movie over and over again until I've gotten all the information I need. NEXT.

          The Social Network, I'll admit, looked pretty stupid to me when I first saw the previews, probably because I was watching a parody of the actual preview.

"If every website got a melodramatic adaption"

Anyway, needless to say, it released and was sensational, "the first truly great... movie of the 21st century." HOLY COW. That's a great movie.
But in all seriousness, it was genius; and I mean that quite literally. This guy (and everyone else in the movie) is a GENIUS. It's hard to call a guy an a-hole when everything he says is technically true even though it's completely repugnant. This movie made me want to attend Harvard and outwit everyone into thinking I'm blameless even if that's not at all the case. His weapon literally is his mind. Ok so also two of my other favorite actors (or eye candy, whichever you prefer) were in this movie, and NO, I'm actually NOT including Justin Timberlake. This time it's the British beauties Max Minghella and Andrew Garfield. Max Minghella first won my heart with his portrayal in Elvis and Anabelle, also an indie film THREE YEARS for because I'm not a freaking Sundance or SBSW employee, and apparently they think it's funny to tease someone with an incredibly intriguing trailer three years before they actually decide to release the movie.

 I threw some Andrew Garfield in there too... speaking of which, that girl in that picture with him (top right) is kind of in my way... how rude. There is a lot of the "smolder" look in this collage.. but what can I say.. it works for them.




Anyway, back to the SN, it also had a good soundtrack, but one of my favorites that wasn't included in the soundtrack was the remake of Radiohead's "Creep" (one of my all time favorites) for the preview; it was remade by an all girls choir called Scala & Kolacny Brothers. NEXT.

       Ok last one, and it's short because I don't have much to say about Country Strong, which for the life of me I can't say right ( I keep saying Country Song). Granted, it was better than I thought it would be, and there were a lot of cliche, yet undeniably good quotations about "love" and other junk, and there was this one song that resembles a stalker's creepy manifesto, but if you hear it with the song then it's all good... So here are some of the notable lines from the movie:
      
-"Don't be afraid to fall in love. It's the only thing that matters in life. Fall in love with as many things as possible" - ( and God knows I do that.)

-"I'm gonna wear you down, I'm gonna make you see, I'm gonna get to you, you're gonna give into me. I'm gonna start a fire, you're gonna feel the heat, I'm gonna burn for you, you're gonna melt for me... My heart is set on you, I don't want no one else, and if you don't want me, I guess I'll be all by myself. Come on, give into me..."
                             -In case you couldn't tell... that's the slightly psychotic one.. BUT HEY, who of us isn't slightly psychotic sometimes? Technically, you could say that all of those feelings are completely normal and not deranged at all... or maybe just leaning toward a tendency for mild obsession. BUT ISN'T THAT WHAT LOVE IS ALL ABOUT?..... hahaha I'm kidding folks.. don't get your knickers in a twist.
