Summer Movie List!

So I'm working like crazy to save up for school this summer, and during my downtime, I love watching movies so I've created a list of movies that I haven't seen that are film staples in contemporary and classic cinema. Check them out!

Reign Over Me

The whole thing is on youtube so this will probably be knocked out first on the list!

Candy

Need to have a Heath day. Might watch 10 Things I hate About You as well.

Before Sunset

Up in the air

That time when I saw Jason Wrightman and I didn't know it was him. 

Here are some more that I'm gonna watch but I'm too lazy to put the trailer up. 

Slumdog Millionaire 

Little Children

Jane Eyre

The Painted Veil 

Dear Frankie

Albert

The Cider House Rules

Walk the Line

Crazy Heart

Dazed and Confused

Rewatch list for the summer: 

• Camille
• Blue Valentine
• Legally Blonde

Partners: I can't WAIT!

I tweeted about this show a while back and I'm seriously freaking out. It's like Will and Grace all over again except better because it's going to be centered around the relationship equivalent between Jack and Will. A straight guy and a gay guy as best friends.

Watch the fall preview below and have an excited meltdown like I did. 

I love Sofia Bush, I've been waiting to see what Ugly Betty scene stealer Michael Urie would be up to and I'm sure this will be the break through part for David Krumholtz. Plus, Brandon Routh is hot.

Anna Karenina: Trailer

The trailer is finally here!

Jude Law is stripped of his handsome glory in being the dashing super-mega-hot-dude and is instead a balding husband pushed aside by his young wife for Aaron Johnson aka Count Vronsky. So exciting and quite scandalous. 

Directed by one of my favourites Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement) and of course starring his muse Keira Knightley. I'm sure Wright will do Tolstoy good and bring colour, grande architecture and amazing wide shots to this film....like he does for every book-made-into-film. I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

This is 40: I can't wait.

I was internet stalking Jude Apatow and saw that his new movie This is 40 is going to be released this year.

In Knocked Up  that  bickering couple played by Paul Rudd and Judd Apatow's wife Leslie Mann stole  every scene they were in, whether together or apart. 

Now they get their own sequel...complete with Apatow's daughters all grown up.

It's going to be released at the end of the year in December and I'm so impatient.

(Almost) On The Screen: Moonrise Kingdom

A must see film this season.

 Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola have teamed up to create what I think will be the movie of the season aside from that alien flick. It received favourable reviews at Cannes and the trailer reveals the classic Anderson wide   tableau-esque shots. 

Focus Features have purchased the rights, so this is turning into a widely and heavily promoted film. I was particularly surprised to see Edward Norton in this film and I'm excited to see what he'll bring to the scout leader when all I can think about is him curb stomping someone. 


PS Read MTV Fora's How to be Suzy Bishop article while waiting for this film to come out. Read more!

Girls: A non-recap

A non-recap of this buzz worthy show 

The launch timing this post-series is horrible. I've stopped watching 2 Broke Girls and the first season of New Girl is over and episode 8 of Girls (the only show I'm watching right now) has been re-capped everywhere.

Solution: here's the preview of Episode 9:

#1 Michael Imperioli as Hannah's new love interest. Wait...does that mean she and Adam aren't meant to be? Guess he won't be peeing on her again.

#2 Whew! We're going to see Shoshanna again? I thought I would find her incessantly annoying but I actually consider her a breath of fresh air from her three selfish, hipster sub-culture-cultural counterparts. Especially when she smokes crack.

Until next week. Or whenever.

*Note: My co-workers and I were discussing whether or not Girls is likable. I said that the first few episodes were a shock tease and now the character development has begun. If you survive through the first three, you'll be hooked even though the next three still require some determination. Read more!

Rufus Wainwright >>>

My major fandom stems from hearing Wainwright's voice croon out tunes in films I watched as a teen. I freaked out when I received the press alert that he would be doing a Q&A at the TIFF Bell Lightbox after the screening of Sing Me the Songs that Say I Love you. I was sitting at my work desk ready to flip a table. I emailed immediately and reserved my ticket. 

I'm soooo going to cry. 

There are no words for how prepared I am. 

PS salivate over Rufus' beau, Jorn, after the break.
