Like Crazy

Yesterday, every single blog that I read on a daily basis blew up about the release of this film’s trailer. “Like Crazy” won multiple awards at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and is scheduled to hit theaters October 28th. When I first watched the trailer, there wasn’t a lot that I could grasp about the plot other than this was yet another indie romance film. There was no denying that I was going to love it based on that fact alone. So I dug around a little more and read some reviews, etc. at one point stopping myself before I ruined the entire film with spoilers.

Watch the trailer below and let me know what you think.

50/50

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeh5YXotTTM&feature=youtu.be]

While there are a few films I am excited to see this summer (the last Harry Potter, the Art of Getting By, Bad Teacher, Friends With Benefits, and Crazy Stupid Love.) I think that I am most excited for 50/50. Technically the movie comes out September 30th, which is late summer, but still sure to be a hit at the box office.

Directed by Jonathan Levine, the story centers on Adam (Gordon-Levitt), a young man living a great life. He has a job that he’s passionate about, works with his best friend (Rogen) and has a stunningly beautiful girlfriend (Howard). Then he goes to the doctor and finds out that he has a rare for of spinal cancer that has left him with a 50% chance of survival. This world totally rocked by the news, not only does he have to deal with the effects of his disease, but also how it affects everyone in his life.

Summer Movies to Look Forward To

Since there are so many great movies coming out this summer, I thought I would share with you a few that I found interesting. None of the descriptions are written by me because…I don’t write movie descriptions…well. But it’s cool, cause other people have! Check out the trailers. One addresses the Civil Rights Movement – power to Emma Stone. The second is a comedy and the third is an indie flick featuring my always favorite – Emma Roberts – as of course the indie manic pixie dream girl. The last film is kind of like the third.

Tate Taylor directed the film, which stars Emma Stone, Bryce Dallas Howard, Viola Davis, Allison Janney and Sissy Spacek in an empowerment story set during the American Civil Right movement. Stone plays an aspiring journalist who puts herself in the thick of the fight between whites and blacks to try and make a difference. “The Help” will be in theaters on Aug. 12. [Source]

Growing up together, Mitch (Reynolds) and Dave (Bateman) were inseparable best friends, but as the years have passed they’ve slowly drifted apart. While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child who has never met a responsibility he liked. To Mitch, Dave has it all: beautiful wife Jamie (Leslie Mann), kids who adore him and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. To Dave, living Mitch’s stress free life without obligation or consequence would be a dream come true.

Following a drunken night out together, Mitch and Dave’s worlds are turned upside down when they wake up in each other’s bodies and proceed to freak the &*#@ out. [Source]

So funny story… this film is actually called “The Art of Getting By Now.”

Starring Emma Roberts and Freddie Highmore, the film is about George, a young self-described slacker who in his senior year of high school takes up with the equally aloof Sally and together they get their malaise on while going…clubbing? Or something. Naturally, their relationship gets complicated and….sigh, we’re pretty sure we’ve seen this movie about a hundred times before. There are some bright spots though, particularly Michael Angarano, who seems to be playing a mentor-type character with rugged, bearded authority.“The Art of Getting By” opens in limited release on June 17th before going wide in July.

Fifteen-year-old Oliver Tate has two big ambitions: to save his parents’ marriage via carefully plotted intervention and to lose his virginity before his next birthday. Worried that his mom is having an affair with New Age weirdo Graham, Oliver monitors his parents’ sex life by charting the dimmer switch in their bedroom. He also forges suggestive love letters from his mom to dad. Meanwhile, Oliver attempts to woo his classmate, Jordana, a self-professed pyromaniac who supervises his journal writing – especially the bits about her. When necessary, she orders him to cross things out. Based on Joe Dunthorne’s acclaimed novel, Submarine is a captivating coming-of-age story with an offbeat edge. [Source]

Movie Trailers:

The Kids Are Alright

I just adore Mark Ruffalo. Also, the actor from one my favorite movies “Little Manhattan” has grown up and is also starring in this movie.

Nic (Annette Benning) and Juls (Julianne Moore) were incredibly happy together. To complete their family, they decided to conceive by artificial insemination. Joni and Laser are two teenagers living in suburban Los Angeles. After Joni turns 18, the siblings decide to try and contact their biological father. He seems a bit out of place, but both Joni and Laser are just happy to have him back in their lives and hope they can have the father figure they always dreamed of.

Somewhere

Precious, a story based on the novel Push by Sapphire, is about a young girl still in high school who is pregnant with her second child from her own father and also suffers from constant physical and verbal abuse from her mother. It has received a great deal of attention and talk from many film festivals and you can expect some celebrity appearances by Mo’Nique, Mariah Carey, and Lenny Kravitz.

And then we fall in love w/ Joseph Gordon-Levitt all over again! Even after watching that trailer, I still have no idea what the movie is about.

Dear Jack

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1m_7gD90II&feature=player_embedded]

Someone once asked me if I distinguished music from personality within a band or artist. Would I still listen to a band if I knew they were complete assholes or would I listen to music created by musicians who genuinely care about what they do and are both hardworking individuals and also as a group? I never really knew how to answer that question. To me music is music. The music comes first, everything else is secondary. I like some songs, I don’t like others.

Then there are artists like Andrew McMahon of Jack’s Mannequin. There are artists that you will come to admire and respect and for me, Andrew is one of them. Andrew was making great progress w/ Jack’s Mannequin and they were about to take off. Three months before the release of “Everything in Transit,” Andrew was forced to cancel all of his tour dates when he had been feeling ill. He had been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. “Dear Jack” documents Andrew’s journey from the day he was diagnosed “… and continues on through the life-changing and intensely personal events that follow.”

The Dear Jack DVD will be released November 3rd.
