Love my Life

Love my Life  is a movie based on a manga about two lesbians.  It probably makes a cool comic, but the episodic nature of the story meant that the film didn't have any real focus or conflict.  There were a lot of scenes of happy lovers...not a good movie to watch when you're lonely :'(

The soundtrack by noodles is really great.

The movie ends in an epic lesbian makeout scene.

Jane Eyre (2011)

 Social engagements, a bad SVU  watching habit and a self-mandated "read every day" rule have made it so I  am watching fewer movies than usual :'(  I did make it out to see Jane Eyre today, though.  I really need to read the novel.  I enjoyed the film a lot...I felt there was a femininity in how it was filmed that I really liked...the camera gaze would shift to blooming flowers in the trees, to something else, to the couple.  It was pretty.  It may have just been me, or the theater I was in, but some of the scenes filmed in the dark were really grainy?

the poster is cool

The Philadelphia Story

Call me a player hater but, uh, The Philadelphia Story is a story that need not be told.  Dumb, capricious rich girl receives a bunch of unwarranted praise from a bunch of dudes who she all plays for fools.  Also, lol at how she straight up drove drunk in this.

The Bridges of Madison County

The Bridges of Madison County is like a romance story that is only interesting to the two people falling in love. And the woman's grown children, apparently.  Basically a snoozefest.  I had a concept of this movie being "really old" and yet...Clint Eastwood still looks pretty old in it.  What gives? Has he just been old for like, ever?  Also, I like Meryl Streep but wow what a terrible accent.
