It’s a Boy Girl Thing

boygirlthingYes, sadly, the TPL doesn’t have everything. On a quest for a different movie, I found myself in Blockbuster. They are selling everything old. Hence, I tried something new. Cute, predictable movie, but it had some good qualities and morals and wasn’t over the top on trashy humor. Loved most of the soundtrack, but can’t find it.

Idlewood

idlewild-antwan-andre-big-boi-dvd-cover-artTPL DVD: A very slow moving gangster movie. I usually really like Terrance Howard, but this was just too empty. I enjoyed all the dancing and the little bits of animation, like Rooster’s flask and the stick men musical notes. The music wasn’t that great either.

Do people really die so quickly in real life? Are they there one minute and gone the next? And how can a single person touch us with so much impact that we cease to function, to live without them? Maybe Percival will understand his father more now that he lost his love.

“Where’s your pride? Your pride is in your work.”

Eclipse

eclipseby Stephanie Meyer

I don’t know exactly what everyone’s ideal is, but Edward definitely isn’t it for me. It’s like he took his 100+ years to learn what everyone wanted and then molded himself into this “perfect” being. And Bella is kind of annoying with all her noble thoughts and self-hate. It just feels like such a show. But I love Jacob’s character. He’s true and honest and isn’t too concerned with being perfect.

I like the part where Jacob says that he would have been a lot healthier for Bella than Edward is. It’s true, I think these books are so out there, it’s kind of scary to think that an entire generation of people will have this fantasy about needing to be with their love 24/7. And I hate how Meyer has made Bella to be this little bunny, something that needs to be constantly protected, from others and herself. Come up, we’re in the 21st century.
