SAG Awards

I really enjoyed the SAG Awards tonight. I liked the pro-union messages, the charitable work showcased and all the pretty people!

I was super impressed with Jennifer Lawrence's win and Anne Hathaway and Claire Danes....

Downton Abbby cast looked so shocked "Shut the french windows" ha ha

Argo win was good, Ben Affleck is amazing though I still have not seen the movie yet... I have heard great things! I also loved Ben's speech - I have loved his wife, Jennifer Garner since Alias.... which Bradley Cooper was also in by the way (his movie was nominated too and I was rooting for it, Silver linings playbook, for my own bias reasons....

I love jessica chastain, so it was nice to see her present and look back at those we lost this year.

I loved the intros "I am an actor" especially Sophia V from Modern Family... "thanks to these I always look like a hooker" ha ha

What were your fave moments from the SAG awards?

My Review on One Day

Let me start by saying, for once, I did not read the novel first.

I wish I had.

My preception of what this story was about - were all wrong, or perhaps the movie got the novel all wrong? But either way, I am not a huge fan of this movie and I will tell you why... but in doing so there may be spoilers so read on only if you are ok with spoilers.... You have been warned.

More...

So, the movie jumps to July 15 every year over the course of several years to show the relationship between Emma and Dex (Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess)

I liked the actors and characters. I thought Anne's accent was fine, and the friend I was with is FROM London and made no comments on it, though I didn't ask her either.

The idea is good, and I hope to read the novel as I hear it portrays the story much better.... but the two meet at the end of university and almost hook-up.... but become life-long friends anyways.

We jump through the years, via text on the screen informing us of the year, and learn of how they have grown, changed, and so on. Emma has some odd jobs and struggles to discover who she wants to be, eventually becoming a teacher and children's writer. Dex does some cheap tv party show (think MTV TRL or worse) and then gets lost in drugs and alcohol. Both go through moments of wanting each other, then not, as well as entertaining other relationships, all which are unsuccessful to varying degrees.

They share some special moments and are clearly connected and destined to be together, despite the twists and turns life throws at them.

Here is the big spoiler....

They finally get together, and are happy... except can't seem to have a baby..... then she goes swimming and while riding her bike home

BAM

Gets killed.

So here I am in the theatre, waiting for a make-up session and discovery they CAN have babies or adopt but instead I get her dying!

Traumatized.Bawling.Horrific.

But it doesn't end!

Dex goes on to fight and ruin his life further and it all ends unresolved.

There is a flashback to what we missed in the early years, which makes me sadder.

I hate this movie.

I am still bawling as the credits role and I have no clue what to make of this whole thing.



I wish I read the book first.

I wish I knew what to expect.

Maybe, though not likely because I heard it's a poor adaptation of the novel, I may have enjoyed it more.... meh!

Anne Hathaway saves Jake Gyllenhaal from Taylor Swift Question

I can't believe they are together, it somehow seems - - - wrong - - - I still think of lil Taylor Swift as - - - well - - - 12teen... despite her dating Taylor Lautner, who is younger than her but seemingly "old enough for me" bahahaha - - - moving on....

Here's what went down (PS Anne Hathaway rules!)

Anne Hathaway helped co-star Jake Gyllenhaal dodge an awkward question about his alleged romance with Taylor Swift at a weekend press conference in New York.

Hathaway and Gyllenhaal, who previously played husband and wife in the 2005 drama "Brokeback Mountain," were talking to reporters Saturday about their new film "Love and Other Drugs" when a journalist inquired about reports claiming Gyllenhaal had recently begun courting country music superstar Swift.

"Hang on, hang on. I have to say something. I have been Jake's on-screen love interest for years," Hathaway jokingly answered for Gyllenhaal, who was sitting beside her at the press conference. "You keep the conversation to me and only me or otherwise I'm going to get nasty! Thank you."

"Don't get 'Ella Enchanted' pissed off," Gyllenhaal added, referring to one of Hathaway's iconic good-girl roles.

"Don't get 'Ella Enchanted' pissed off, and I'm not obedient," the actress echoed.

Awwwn....

Valentine's Day Review - No Spoilers

I went to see Valentine's Day Tonight and here is my SPOILER FREE Review.

With so many top names such as Ashton Kutcher, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jamie Foxx, Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift, Bradley Cooper, Patrick Dempsey, Topher Grace, Kathy Bates, George Lopez, Eric Dane, Queen Latifa, Shirley MacLaine and Hector Elizondo, there is no doubt the movie has talented actors, so let's look at the story itself.

The movie is about several characters lives one Valentine's Day. It can [and will] be comapred to Love Actually in that it has multiple stories that bubble over into each other.

There is a bit of everything within the characters, from a florist who is newly engaged, to a pessimistic single football player's publicist, to a teen couple preparing for their "first time," to a teacher in a new relationship, to a seemingly happily married couple of grandparents.... the movie follows various stories that often criss-cross and overlap, though not obviously or annoyingly so.

At first, I thought the movie started off a little slow and was honestly expecting to be disappointed. Luckily that changed.

The stories and the characters were not difficult to connect to and with so many different relationships, there was something for everyone to relate too. One of the cutest stories was puppy love from a 5th grader played by Bryce Robinson, who is a fantastic young actor. His entire story melted my heart.

There were corny moments or over done parts, but as a whole it worked well.

With so many big names, there was a lot to live up to and I thought the movie did a good job of giving each actor a good story for their character and where the characters lives crossed and intertwined was amusing and sometimes shocking but not overly forced.

There were definately some laughs, some tears and some gasps of surprise and excitement.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie and think it will be a great V-Day hit.
