Hey Everybod-day! =)

Hey guys, boy did i miss you. Well, I'm back, and I'm sure you can't wait to get rid of me again. Anyway... While having a mini-movie-chill-out-until-i-have-to-actually-do-something-fest on my first day back, i noticed something that could be the most awesome or the most witty thing a food company has ever done. Actually, i believe another company pulled this little thing off not too long ago (i also think i posted something for it) But pretty much Chips AHoy! is now using classic movies for advertising. They actually came out really cute. Don't believe me, follow the link

I'll just leave this here

I was disappointed about this year's movies but now I'm excited. I'll just leave this link here

TOY STORY 3, WHY?!?!


Woody, Buzz, and the rest of their toy-box friends are dumped in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, departs for college.

The Box






A suburban couple, Norma (Cameron Diaz) and Arthur (James Marsden), face a moral dilemma when they receive a gift that bears irrevocable consequences. With the press of a button, their simple wooden box will bestow $1 million. However, at the same time, a stranger somewhere else will die. The box will only be theirs for 24 hours, and as time ticks away, Norma and Arthur confront the depth of their own humanity as they consider their choices
sounds kind of interesting

Family is family. Blood is blood.


I've just finished watching "Cassandra's Dream," a film that I was attracted to not only because it was... well, my dream, but because it was written and directed by Woody Allen.

This film is unnaturally Colin Farrell at his finest! I am always a little turned off by him as an actor, with his tough guy persona and his Irish accent (haha just kidding). But I am glad to say that I have never seen him act so well in any part in any film. And Ewan McGregor played his part just as well (but perhaps not as well as Farrell pulled his off). Within the first five minutes of the film I asked Bella, "Do you think he is good looking?" and she answered "...He just always reminds me of Star Wars." So I went into this film thinking precisely that, but after the next few scenes, I was just completely and totally sucked into both the characters and the plot line.

Okay, now back to Woody. Some (okay, a lot) of people may say that he is dry and predictable and that he is incapable of making a good drama without having the undertone of a comedic New Yorker, but I stand to prove them wrong--I truly do believe that he is a master a what he does. And yes, I guess you can say that Woody Allen is somewhat of an acquired taste, but what isn't now a days?

At his earliest, he was the comedic genius behind films like 1973's "Sleeper," and not to mention classics like "Annie Hall" and "Manhattan." But now he is starting to wander into a new realm of filmmaking, and I am starting to wonder if he should ever come back! His films now are dark, brutal and are always served with a twist... and I just can't get enough of them! After watching "Match Point," a film that New York Times called "black as pitch and very fine," I was convinced that I was hooked on all things Allen! ("Scoop" being the only exception) And now after watching "Cassandra's Dream," I am just completely certain.

Up next, "Vicky Cristina Barcelona"!

Less significant than Best Boy, but still worth sharing.

Another...
