Movie Madness

When I moved to Los Angeles, I became friends with a bunch of movie snobs. 
It seemed like all we did was see movies (they call them films).

I have always loved going to the movies, but now I think I appreciate it in a different way.

I've seen a lot of movies lately &
here are a few thoughts..

Muppets is a MUST SEE. 
I didn't know what to expect, but I knew a bunch of my friends whom I trust, loved it.
So with two movie snobs, Greg and Kenny, I went to the Grove to see it.
It did not dissapoint.
Plus, Jeremiah from Rachel Zoe was there 
so that was fun and hes just as darling in real life.

I saw the preview for Like Crazy when Ingrid Michaelson tweeted about her song
being played in it. 
I instantly knew i wanted to see it.
Visually its a beauty, the story is really sweet at times, and i liked it....
but not, LIKE CRAZY.


My friend Peter told me about this movie last January when he saw it at Sundance.
It was one of his faves and I usually agree with him on movies.
I had no idea what this movie was about, just that it was crazy town.
Christine and I saw it, and well...it was INSANE.
Totally disturbing and i left feeling confused and a little bit anxious.


I have loved Michelle Williams since Dawson's Creek.
When i heard she was playing Marilyn Monroe in My Week With Marilyn, I was a little skeptical.
She is a great actress but is she a Marilyn?
Turns out...Yes. Yes she is.
Her romance with a young boy is pretty boring and slow, but shes great.
And the young boy is so darling.
I would give the movie a B-.
It helm my attention but hardly.

Everytime one of these Twilight movies comes out I say I'm not seeing it.
I could care less about this series, but my girlfriends love it.
I went with Chelsie and Legacy to see Breaking Dawn and I laughed the whole time.
Kristen Stewart looks like a meth head and shes a bad actress.

The Descendants was great.
I loved everything about this movie.
George Clooney is such a good, sexy, actor.
The daughters were so believable.
Hawaii is pretty.
The relationships seemed real and human and I would see this again.

And the Muppets.
Defenitely seeing the Muppets again.

Marilyn with a younger guy? Is it better than when Jen
Lindley dated Henry??

I loved Muppets, too. Maybe I'll have to check out a couple of these other ones.

I'm so glad someone else has finally seen Martha Marcy May Marlene. It came out about a month ago out here and my friend Ashley and I saw and both went home totally freaked. Did you see Black Swan? Not at all similar but left me with the same feeling. Totally disturbed but I couldn't stop thinking about it.
PS How gorg is Elizabeth Olsen?
