Zoo-ey Deschanel and A Post Correction

Movies out Friday:

Land of the Lost - I'm not going to lie. I love Will Ferrell. This movie looks hilarious and, even though I've never seen the original TV show, I'm going to see this movie and like it!

The Hangover - Bradley Cooper and Justin Bartha!! This movie reeks of Dude, Where's My Car?, but looks even funnier with hotter dudes! That's a winner in my book.

My Life in Ruins - I wouldn't mind seeing this, but it's not one that I'm going to rush out for. It looks cute and I love Greece (in theory because I've never been there...yet) and I'm all for "discovering yourself" movies. It just doesn't ring of "must see."

Away We Go - John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph are preggo and going around the country trying to find a good place to raise their baby. Along the way they run into big-name stars who are their crazy family members and such. It's an Indie so it'll only be up in Scottsdale again, but I will go by myself if I have to!

My First of Many Post Corrections: Twilight.

Alright, so I saw this movie again and I wasn't in a sleep-deprived state and I have to admit that it's a pretty good movie (for what it is: a tweener movie. Don't expect any Academy Awards). And, amazingly enough, that is not the only thing that I am recanting.

Robert Pattinson wasn't that bad. There I said it. I honestly think that most of his faces were way ridiculous and almost all of his lines were over-dramatized, but, on second inspection, he wasn't as bad as I remembered.

In fact, I have decided to switch completely and state blatently that Kristin Stewart is actually a terrible actress! She always speaks in monotone and makes these little breathy noises before and after each line. It was like watching a train wreck. I just felt so bad for her. But thinking back on every other movie I've seen her in, she does these things all the time so what can you do? If Nicolas Cage (and his inability to show emotion) had a baby with Hilary Duff (and her little breathy noises) then that baby would be Kristen Stewart.

So, I am admitting that in my sleep-deprived state I prematurely decided that Twilight was a bad movie. And, because of this, I refused to see it again and that was the wrong move. In conclusion, I hope you're happy Janette and Kristina. I was wrong :)
(But I still don't care for Robert Pattinson, I still think he was a terrible choice for Edward, and I will never admit to this again so you might as well print it out and scrapbook it! Haha)

Some Amazing and Awkward Goodies.

Underrated movie of the post:

Failure to Launch. This movie didn't get the credit it deserved and that is because the main stars were Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew McConaughey. But if you think about how funny/awesome all the secondary characters were then you'll agree with me when I saw it was good. If only they could have just cut out those other two parts then they would have had a spectacular film.

Movies to see:

Land of the Lost, The Hangover, My Life in Ruins, Away We Go, and Failure to Launch.

Trailer of the post:
