A sassy foreign film.
Initially a series of true stories posted on the internet, “My Sassy Girl” was later adapted into a best-selling book and finally into a movie which follows the book closely. Running slightly over two hours, it’s a charmingly quirky love story with emotional ups and downs that will completely immerse you. You’ll find yourself interpreting the story to yourself as it unfolds.
Discovering Nemo.
I just watched “Finding Nemo” for my very first time. I am very pleased with this film.
It was incredibly cute (yes, I’m secure enough to use that adjective) from beginning to end. Although, the shark at the beginning with was freaking me out a bit, but I guess there wasn’t a way around that to set up the story. I found the characters most endearing. The “under the sea” world was exceptionally creative as it was beautifully colorful. Certain scenes laughed me to tears. Other scenes moved me to tears. The story was truly heartwarming in all sincerity.
I’m “just not that into” bullshit.
One day (what seemed like years ago and probably was), I was visiting Ms. Lindsay Lee at her Vista del Campo residence. In her room, a most peculiar book caught my eye: “He’s Just Not That into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys,” written by a man, Greg Behrendt, and a woman, Liz Tuccillo. (I’m assuming more Greg than Liz). I flipped through, read a couple pages, and then promptly threw it against the wall and then into the wastebasket. (Then Lindsay came back from the bathroom, so I quickly placed the book back on her desk before she noticed any damages.) Simply put, it is a book with dating advice for women, conveying the simple message of “Hey, sometimes the guy just isn’t very much into you ladies.” I didn’t like what I had read, to say the least.
