This morning I awoke to a bit of a head cold that was barely noticeable around my burning throat. When my dear friend Lauren called I sadly had to back out of the plans that we made (like saving her from shopping...) and decided to laze around the house all day instead. I cleaned and read and ate. Oh, and I set up our brand new and BEAUTIFUL computer.
Then Matt asked if I wanted to see a movie called The Runaways with Kirsten Stewart and Dakota Fanning playing two of those lovely ladies. Well turns out it's a limited release, meaning little ole Spokompton won't show it unless it breaks the box office. Anyways, that's not the point, instead he pointed out a different movie. Remember Me.
Now, now. Hang on. Yeah Robert Pattinson (what's with the Twilight stars Emma?) is the lead and the previews make it out to be another cheesy romance drama where everything ends up all cheeky and fine in the end. But the reviews were intriguing---
So I figured, "Hey, why not? At least I will be able to back up my dislike of Robert Pattinson..."
I get off my butt, shower, get dressed. Y’know- I don't try too hard because, well, I'm just lazy.
Little did I know that I was in store for a life-changing movie. Sure the plot isn't too original, but the acting and cinematography more than make up for it. This isn't just an Indy type love story, like Garden State (which I actually really like). It's more than that.
The characters are like real people. The lines are delivered like normal conversation and you really fall for them.
But that's not it either. No
There are these details. Little, tiny things that you don't even think about until the end. And it is the end that changes everything. This movie does not end like any other I have ever seen.
You can't deny yourself that one thing that you wanted most, if only for the off chance that you won't make it through dinner to that yummy desert because of a meteorite. Or a bomb. Or a gunshot.
I only have one thing to say to one person- But that will have to wait.
