Because I fucked over my Wednesday post, I’m making up for it in this double-post (see, I’m trying…). My mind’s been stretched tracing-paper-thin lately, so please mind my lapses in consciousness, >.O…
This week’s movie is:
Away We Go was a movie I wanted to see from the moment I heard about it–mainly because of *AHEM…* John Krasinski, XD. I had heard it got a lot of mixed reviews, but when I watched it online (SHH), I really thought this was a very wholesome movie. Albeit, I admit–I was kinda skeptical when I heard the plot. Unmarried couple having a baby–sounds all too familiar. But in watching the previews and such, and later the movie itself, I found myself seeing something very unique about it, and I truly admired that. It’s a very artistic movie–which is something you rarely see anymore. Too many things pegging to be Summer blockbusters–nothing that’s really made to BE made for the sake of art. I feel that this movie is one of those few. It gives that sense of, “Wow, that’s really fucked up” at the same time you’re thinking, “I totally know what they’re going through”–it’s very true to real life, in the sense that, well… life is STRANGE, hahaha.
It was very refreshing to see Maya Rudolph in an overtly dramatic role–and she did a beautiful job. John Krasinski, always a joy to see on the big screen–I love when he plays the “overall good guys.” Like he said, it’s not a bad thing to be typecasted as, ;P. Away We Go is a very heartfelt, charming, and surprisingly hysterical movie.
(I mean, come on–with an opening five minutes like that movie has–how can it NOT be hysterical? XP.)
Away We Go comes out on DVD and BluRay September 29th–yes, that’s my plug. Go buy the damn movie. (Even little Miss Torrent-Downloader-Me is going to BUY this movie. That’s saying something!)
And FINALLY–this week’s YouTube Vid of the Week is:
I know, I know… last week I posted Susan’s audition performance from Britain’s Got Talent. Well, after seeing her perform live on America’s Got Talent, I was blown away yet again. And she warrants this spot in my blog. I never really cared for this song before–seriously. I couldn’t stand it. And when I heard she was performing it that night, I almost–ALMOST!–went back to my iTunes playlist. BUT she proved me wrong again. TWICE. First with Les Miserables, now with “Wild Horses.” I love ya, Susan Boyle. This is her beautiful rendition of the popular ‘Stones hit.
And on this note (haha, music term), I must get along with my homework. I’ll be back Wednesday (I hope!), 
.
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away…
