Distractions and Fulfillment

I have a horrible habit of turning movies on as "background noise" while I write papers. Not a good idea. I end up sitting there completely engrossed by the television, laptop perched on my lap with the cursor blinking angrily at me trying to get my attention. Some movies make it easier for me to pry my eyes from the T.V. and direct them back to my laptop, "Meet Joe Black" is not one of them.


Everything about this movie is perfect, absolutely perfect. The dialogue, the music, the acting, the pregnant pauses and the content all come together to create an impeccable film. Beyond all that it is a great reminder of what is most important in life- love. To really live, you have to have a life full of love. Whether that love is romantic, familial, or the love of friends, love is what makes life fulfilling and worth all the bumps in the road. So embrace your loved ones and enjoy life.

"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. I say, fall head over heels. Find someone you can love like crazy and who will love you the same way back... the truth is there's no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love, well, you haven't lived a life at all. But you have to try, cause if you haven't tried, you haven't lived." -Meet Joe Black

*I realize the last several posts have all been film related. I can't help it. I'll try to branch out.

And the Doubt Creeps In...

Strike 1 against "The Hunger Games"- Taylor Swift is going to be on the soundtrack. I am seriously starting to doubt this film...please just don't have anything as putrid as Taylor in the actual film. I am begging you.

2012.

It's a new year! Rather than bore you with my New Years Resolutions, lets just take a look at a few of things I am looking forward to this year...

1. " The Dark Knight Rises"July. This final installment from Christopher Nolan promises to be epic. I could watch this trailer over and over and my excitement would not wane. I simply cannot wait.

2. "The Hobbit" December. My favorite out of all of the Lord of the Rings books. Just watch the trailer and get ecstatic. 

3."The Hunger Games" March. I wasn't super excited about the movie, but after just rereading Hunger Games and Mockingjay I am beyond excited. Please don't let me down...

4. "The Woman in Black" February. I love a good suspense movie and this just looks creepy. Plus it will be interesting to see Daniel Radcliffe in some other role besides Harry Potter. 

Yes, my list of highly anticipated events for the year are all movies. What can I say my life is exciting. I will do my best to track down some exciting adventures to share. 2012 will not be a bust, I promise.
