whoops...

My plans to see Where the Wild Things Are today with my friends Erin and Domenico didn't pan out. This secretly tore me apart, because being the anxious six-year-old I truly am, I can't possibly wait another week for a movie I desperately want to see. I mean, can you imagine waiting more than a day to see the newest Harry Potter? It felt pretty close to that. So when my grandma and I found the antique store already closed, we headed straight for a Harkins.

And then I fell in love. It made me so happy. (And yes, I will definately see it again next weekend.)

The music!
The colors! (I am a sucker for a stellar color scheme in films--I finally watched the second half of The Darjeeling Limited yesterday and the colors pretty much blew my mind.)
The cinematography!
The sets!
The Wild Things!

And for the record, Max Records is cooler than I will ever be.

welcome to our fort

I love forts!

Shucks. I missed the cut off for a Where the Wild Things Are fort-making contest. Bummer. You don't mind if I make one still, do you? I didn't think so.

Well, I'm off to construct my own! Have a lovely Wednesday.

Whip It

It would be close to impossible to hate a movie featuring Ellen Page and roller derby, directed by Drew Barrymore. I mean, really? No dice. Whip It was the quirky coming-of-age film you would anticipate from the like. The soundtrack was enviable, and while some might have been irked by the production's evident indie intentions, I didn't mind; I dig it. It was definately a fun movie with heart and giggles.

guess what comes out tomorrow!

As if I needed another reason to love Drew Barrymore...
