Film

Katy and I have been slacking lately. I think spring can do that to you. Spring makes everything come to life in a way that makes the cold winter seem almost romantic. I am taking two film classes this semester and I won't go as far as to say it has made me a fine critic or reviewer, but it has made me appreciate cinema like never before. If you get the chance, I highly recommend you take a film course in college. I use to hate on film for being the slacker version of literature but I was so wrong. Film appeals to the visual sense that is only captured by the great authors. Anyway I wanted to take a moment to bring attention to some upcoming movies that I am so excited about. These premiers are a much needed breath of fresh air.

Water for Elephants
Let's start with the deepest guilty pleasure: Robert Pattinson. Say what you will about Edward Cullen but leave Pattinson's acting skills alone - he is definitely going to mature into complex character roles. All of this is bogus, by the way, because all I care about is that this boy is FINE. Add Reese Witherspoon, elephants, circus, and a time piece and I am sold.



Midnight in Paris
Let's just quit pretending we don't all love romcoms. Owen Wilson. Rachel McAdams. Paris. Need I say more? Didn't think so. But just in case I did...Woody Allen wrote and directs it. Don't worry, I didn't know Woody Allen was such a baller until my film classes.


Tree of Life
I have a feeling the trailer doesn't do this movie justice and the trailer is beautiful. Brad Pitt is beautiful. Family is beautiful. Brad Pitt is beautiful. Nature is beautiful. Brad Pitt is beautiful. Time pieces are beautiful. Brad Pitt is beautiful. This film is going to be all things beautiful.
