decisions.

it usually comes down to this: a decision.
everything in life requires decisions.

so why am i so bad at them?

someday i will have to make a decision.
a very hard one.
we all have to eventually.
and we can't take turns with this one.
it's completely up to that one person.

and talking to my mom about some decisions last night
she was completely honest with me.
they are meant to be hard.

otherwise they would be easy.

and then where would the fun be in life?
{oh i dunno...}

but to tell myself the truth?
i don't want certain decisions to come.

i want to stay awake at night till the sun rises sometimes
i want money and jobs to be more easy to come by
i want to live in a nation that isn't so blind
i want the next two years to completely change me
and yet not change us at all.
oh, and i really want Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit to be PG.

i know. wishful thinking. it got no one anywhere.

only decisions get people moving.

i'm just scared that one day,
i will have to make a decision between my heart
and the world i have always lived in.
and no matter which one i choose, i lose something
a part of who i have become.

decisions.

preparing for rain.

i'm not sure how things will work out.

but i know the Lord wants me to take voice lessons. and i know He wants me to go to school next semester. and i know He wants me to be independent and pay for all of these things and all my other needs on my own.

i don't know how He is going to make this happen, because i know that i can't do it alone. i've never been more afraid of money than right now in my life. but like in Relief Society today, when we're afraid...we can't have faith in our hearts.

and friday night taught me a story about faith. i watched a movie with Seth called Facing the Giants. in the movie an older man tells the main guy, Grant Taylor, a story. in the story he tells of two farmers who prayed to God for rain. but only one of them went out and prepared his fields.

which one am i going to be?

i'm going to prepare for rain.

i'm in love with old films.

i've found myself singing songs from old movies, re-watching scenes via youtube, all that fun stuff and i realized...i really love these kinds of movies. you don't have to worry if there's going to be an innapropriate scene, the acting is just as superb and even though there are no special effects...they used masterful techniques to create realistic scenarios. i've commented before that movies these days have way too many special effects and that the plot lines suffer from it horribly.

as children these movies were the ones that brought those beautiful fantasies into our imaginations. why have we stopped watching them and replaced them with so much listless, action-packed, inappropriate for youth, junk?

let's face it...there is no such thing as the Avengers or Harry Potter or any of those other high quality film characters in real life. but how many times has a love been challenged by disabilities, distance and time?

An Affair to Remember



young girls always dream of those dances, finding that one man who will love and cherish her. it's the classic Cinderella story...with a twist. we all want a twist in our story, at least i know that i've wanted it.

Slipper and the Rose



and a classic, historical romance. there is nothing better than a love created by passion and resolved by love in the face of war and betrayal, blood and pain. have you never wanted to find that the one who rescued you was also the one who you have loved all along?

The Scarlet Pimpernel



these kinds of movies show that mankind has something deeper within themselves, that people can trust one another, love one another, that there are people out there who aren't hopeless. how could a world be hopeless with these kinds of movies available?

i know that i love them, and probably always will...and will have them in my collection of family movies once i am married.

hope you enjoy.

blissfully awkward evenings

let's discuss the first part of the day first. january sixth.
well...i was exhausted but a miracle occurred. my extra credit assignment that i thought was due by the end of the day? not due for another week. good thing i didn't stay up till two am doing that one. but because i found out a little late? i got to spend some time studying with a friend in the library. psh, singers v. library...hands down i know i made the right choice.

so after school i got ready for a friend's reception...and when i use the word friend, know that it is quite the loose term. i had never met the bride or groom in any form...other than the internet. no i am not a stalker. yes, i do have stalker-like tendencies; following meg's blog for example. but who cares, i got the invite and if people aren't serious about inviting you to their wedding, then they wouldn't send invites. who cares. i got a hug. it was sweet.

my mom and i walked in and it was beautiful. it looked at first like there might be the hint of a possible dance floor later? but we didn't stay long enough to find out sadly. there was beautiful colors all over and the bride looked absolutely, classically beautiful. i think it's the new thing: short dresses. personally...i see myself wearing an empire-waisted gown with a lace overly but that's just me.

i recognized at least three or so people there. some more or less pleasant, others cordially avoided. funny how small of a world it can be sometimes. funny how uncomfortable that makes me feel sometimes. i felt slightly out of place, so many cutely fashioned young misses but that's okay. i got a hug from my favorite blogger and she appeared to recognize my name {?} or maybe i'm just...pulling my own leg. ha.

we snacked from the chocolate fountain briefly and then smartly disappeared. adventure quest accomplished. too bad brittani and chloe weren't there. they would have made it even more "blissfully awkward". more of the blissful part.

on the drive home i slowly got more and more excited as we got closer home. i was excited to hang out with my friends after the reception is all.

okay maybe that's not all, my best friend was going to be there. no big deal.

so my friend {sweet as he is} picked me up {why are my friends so wonderful? i didn't even have to ask for a ride. really? call me blessed because i am.} and we watched this movie called Oscar. it was an older one and it was Absolutely Hilarious. too bad most of our friends had to leave early but that's okay, one other joined our troops late. better late then never right?

{probably shouldn't have mentioned the french kiss inside joke, a mistake i truly am sorry for. i dislike being a thorn in someone's side. and i know...this will only make sense to one person, but that is fine. that's all it is for.}

it ended on a good note though. i'll just leave it there...except for the one fact...i'm slowly realizing what this song was saying. slowly...because maybe i'm a bit more cautious in love sometimes than i let on.

but every time he walks in a room and i turn and see him, i cannot help but smile. he makes me so blissfully happy. he never pulls me down in any way. he lets me help him too when he's had a rough day. and i love him. always will.



so it was a wonderful night.
and i'm in love with those hugs.
and him.
just sayin'.

{post script} i don't know if they could hear me but while two of my friends were talking outside i was messing around on my other friend's piano. but i couldn't play my most recent song...it was strange.

"you is kind, you is smart, you is impor'ant."

that line is from the movie The Help. i liked it, however i probably won't watch it again because the film had some language issues. other than that though...i really liked it.

it was interesting, i had been talking to my mom previous to watching it about how some people tease me in my friendship with seth. she explained to me that i shouldn't let it bother me, that people don't know any better really and that no matter what i shouldn't change my friendship because of what outside influences think. it should be my decision and my decision only if anything ever changes. and at the rate that we are going...we'll probably be best friends for a very, very long time. in other words...when people tease now, i don't really care.

anyway there was this part in the film where the main girl's mammy, the african-american woman who basically raised her was giving her some advice on how to handle the boys at school teasing her. the woman talking to her is named constantine and the young girl's name is eugenia {or skeeter}.

every day you're not dead in the ground, when you wake up in the morning, you're gonna have to make some decisions. got to ask yourself this question: "am i gonna believe all them bad things them fools say about me today?" you hear me today? "am i gonna believe all them bad things them fools say about me today? you hear me today?" all right? as for your mama, she didn't pick her life. it picked her. But you, you're gonna do something big with yours. you wait and see.

like i said..i like that part.

i reminds me of when an old friend of mine told me that i was completely in control of everything that i felt, all my emotions, all my hurts and loves. everything. we also choose how we react to the people around us. day by day we make decisions, and it is those decisions that form the very life we life, what we do and through that...essentially becomes who we are.

another character in the story named aibileen, who is also an african-american maid has this mantra for the child that she looks after. i quoted it for my title. every day, and every time something bad happens, she makes sure that little Mae Mobley knows that she is kind, smart and important; some of the most important lessons a mother could teach a daughter, and sadly that these southern women have a hard time teaching or even understanding themselves.

and that is one of life's most important lessons...only for me i would say it in another sentence: "you are a child of God. a princess and a diamond." to know your worth and to know who you are and what you are, is one of the truest blessings to have in life. with it you can do so much

and without it you very well could fail.

so always remember:

you is kind. you is smart. and you is impor'ant.

Let Me In

my best friend seth and i love this song. so i thought i'd share it with you. it's from the film Rigoletto, a very beautiful story by the way; seth let me borrow it and i have to say...
i fell in love.



so tell me if you enjoy it...it's a very worthwhile movie to watch. i'll probably post other songs from it sooner than later...because i'm so in love with it right now.

enjoy (:

I See the Light

i never told you about friday night...and my date. hm. oh well.

but.

here's this song. i thought of it afterward but haven't listened to it until now. i'm not sure why i waited because it's so beautifully connected. you wouldn't understand not knowing the story, but it was beautiful.

another one of the Lovely Things in life...


i was where i was meant to be on that friday night.

stardust

if i could quote a movie to him...this i think would be the one i would choose. and by "him" i don't mean anyone that you are thinking about. by "him" i mean, my best friend...the one i haven't met and the one who one day will be that faithful man that i love and spend the rest of eternity with. this post is dedicated to him.

You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.

if dreams come true...and i could choose which one, i would choose this one. this dream in my heart of you...you wanting me, and only me. forever. best friends and as always, the one who together, we can strive to be the best we can become.

love you,

kaylla.

What Will I Choose...?

I've been wondering recently about a certain change I have the opportunity to make in my life. My choice in media, filmwise. It's a daunting decision, one that if I make it - I'll be determined to keep it for the rest of my life. What is this choice you may ask? Changing my personal screening habits to not viewing PG-13 and higher rated movies.

What brought on this thought processing...? My friend, the one I can't seem to talk enough to - and not because of any silly ideas you may be getting as a nosy what-is-kaylla-doing-with-her-romantic-life kind of person...but because I can talk to him about most anything and get a completely unbiased opinion, an honest one and one that is completely based on common sense- whoa long tangent - anyway, he has this rule with himself. To this day because he's kept it he no longer even desires to watch movies from which he can't feel the spirit.

I've been so desensitized. But I'm scared to give up all those things that have entertained me previously. Seriously, my self-deemed favorite movie is PG-13...and Lord of the Rings as well. How do I draw the line?

Or maybe the question is should I draw the line?

Here's some thoughts I've had: I don't want to be desensitized {good job Kaylla...} but are the messages of some movies worth the rating? Like Lord of the Rings for instance? Classic movies too, not all are PG. I looked up a movie that I destroyed in Mr. Carman's Media Burning Project and it was only PG. So are some PG-13 movies worth the rating? And are some PG movies not worth the rating? How do I determine between the two. How do I stay strong to myself unless I have a strict guide of yes and no to certain ratings?

I'm not really sure what I will do.

Side thoughts too: Mr. Carman, I don't want to repeat that experience in any way...but there was always some truth in the things that he taught us, in fact a lot of truth. But how do I make this not...another experience like that? If I do this for someone else, like my friend...if we ever are not friends any more, will I break my commitment?

So if I do this, it has to be completely me.

I haven't decided. Maybe it will be something that takes me a while to decide...I won't rush into this. But it's something I've pondered this weekend, since my conversation with Seth in front of the library. I was even thinking about it while with my friends Kaytlyn and Kelsey watching our favorite TV show, Haven, because I don't think that show would pass a PG rating. I'm confused on what to do. But I'm thinking...thinking lots and lots...

love you,

Kaylla.

{the adjustment bureau}


"all i have are the choices i make, and i choose her, come what may."

i gotta say, this is probably my new favorite movie. it's got a ton of elements, thematic and artistic that i really admire and it just really kind of speaks to me. i'm kind of one of those suckers that believes in fate and destiny, but also choice and will...and this movie shouts out to both. it's about chance and desire, free will overcoming "the plan".

we make so many plans for ourselves too; at least that's what we think. i mean seriously - what if there are people out there making these choices ultimately for us? honestly that sucks. no offense, but i want to live my own life - not someone else's plan for me. even if it means the world ends...life was meant for choice.

{spoiler alert}

i loved how to film ended though - the ultimate message, that we have to fight for that will, the power to live our lives the way we want to - no matter how it ends up; we only deserve that power if we have the gut to fight for it.

it reminded me partly of something that my friend bro. haymond said {and i'm paraphrasing} that with excess liberty comes excess slavery. liberty, choice, decisions - they should all be ours, but given out freely like candy at a parade, we will never respect what we have. we will never fight, reach for more, become better. we will never rise above "the plan". instead we will simply accept what is good enough.

so it kind of makes me wonder, what kinds of plans does God make for all of us? do we follow strict plans and can we actually stray from those plans {personally i think...that God knows every exactly who we are and knows the true feeling of love, thus this story may or may not be possible in His sense}. but it's still an interesting thought process.

oh and i loved the hats idea, very clever indeed. haha

i admire the strength of the character david norris. first he sacrificed his own happiness of being with her for her supposed career, but then he reaches out - with help of course - and strikes out, making his own fate. i admire that.

anyway - it's late...yah...technically it's friday but it'll post as saturday, seeing as it is now 12:01. but yah - pretty sure this is my new favorite movie. i want it for christmas {okay mom?} haha just kidding.

10 things I hate about YOU

I saw this movie recently . . . not the best (in my opinion rated PG-17) which means maybe I shouldn't have seen it but there was a lot of really good plot. I liked it. :) So anyway - in the movie the girl writes a poem for class and the boy it's about is in her class (played by Heath Ledger!) so anyway - enjoy the video and I included the words of the poem.






I hate the way you talk to me,
And the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick,
It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right,
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh,
Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around,
And the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you,
Not even close
Not even a little bit
Not even at all.

-~-

So that's that - mostly I like the first part - until she starts crying . . . haha

So yeah - done!

More Music

So I watched Miss Congeniality recently and although I can't say it's my favorite movie it was entertaining and funny if somewhat crude, but anyway - this song is played during the swimsuits runway scene, And taken out of context it's a nice song and I like it a lot :)

I guess I could say that I have a pretty diverse love of music . . . :) anyway enjoy!






Well I hope you enjoyed it. Love Ya!

Letters to Juliet

A great movie :) I took my friend Brittani to go see it today and I just remembered how much I loved it the first time I saw it. SIGH.

In my professional opinion (I love saying and thinking I'm somewhat of a pro when I'm not) it was pretty well made. I might have chosen someone else to play Charlie but in the end you really do like the characters. I think Claire and Lorenzo's story is absolutely amazing and in my vendetta against the stupidity of boys that story gives me a ray of hope. :) I think the cinematography is beautiful, and it made me want to go to Italy really bad, the script and characters are well rounded and it's pretty clean. Sophie's wardrobe is a little bit low-necked but other than that it's a great movie. I think the relationship between Sophie and her fiance Victor is kind of humorous - he's so NOT in true love and she really wants something to happen . . . they're so wrong for each other and then Charlie comes and she hates him . . . it's all just humorous.

The first time I saw it I think I even cried, but I can't remember. My favorite part though is when he climbs up the vine to tell her he loves her - makes a fool of himself but the very moment he tells her how much he loves her . . . it's so beautiful.

I also really like the part where they're quoting something and it ends in "but never doubt my love" or something like that . . . I'm gonna look up that quote . . .

Aha! Shakespeare - here:

“Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.”
‘Hamlet’ by William Shakespeare


So beautiful. The magic of the movie fits the feeling of romance I'm sure is in Italy. So I highly recommend this movie as well. I probably don't have as much to say about this movie compared to The Last Song only because there was so little to critique about it, if anything. Of course I'm ignorant and slightly biased ;)

Kaylla

PS - interesting fact: the actor and actress that place Lorenzo and Claire are married in real life! :)

The Last Song


So I just watched that movie, the Last Song starring Miley Cyrus. Personally I hate anything Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus/Stewart related but I really liked this movie. I would have loved it if she hadn't been the main character but oh well. :) She did an awesome job at being a half-gothic troubled teen, surprised? (Not really) haha

So I think my favorite part was the cinematography. I love that word ;) - and the beaches and stuff like that. And I LOVED the sea turtle eggs. That was a nice side story.

It did seem to me that there were a lot of . . . climaxes. Y'know? Everybody knows the part in the movie where "the big thing" happens - occasionally there can be two maybe three and it can still be a good movie but it seemed to me that this movie had at least six . . . am I the only one who noticed that?

Another thing, I think was that there was a lot of almost un-needed emotions. Talk about very emotional. Haha but I did like the PMS part - "pissed at men syndrome" although I usually wouldn't agree with the p-word usage. It was pretty funny.

And I just really don't like Miley as an actress - for older movies. Maybe kids movies sure . . . but . . . yeah it's gonna take me a while to get used to her in the real film world ;)

So that's my review!!! Hope it was sarcastically enjoyable ;)

Marcus Gilbert


A long time ago someone asked me who my favorite actor was and me being the anti anything normal and girly thoughts said the old guy Mickey Rooney was my favorite actor but not so anymore: Marcus Gilbert is an amazing actor and my current favorite of all time. Ever seen the movie Legacy - the church movie? That's my favorite movie that he's in and then A Hazard of Hearts. He's just amazing; he acts the part of gentleman easily and so well . . . it makes me wish he had been born 40 years later.

One of my favorite quotes from A Hazard of Hearts was when he talks to young Serena and asks her whether she loves her cousin Nicholas and would rather marry him, she responds and tells Lord Vulcan (Gilbert) that he is in love with another lady. Then Vulcan asks if she has anyone and she responds "I am in love with no one my lord." Then with an almost coy look on his face he asks her "Shall I make you fall in love with me?" She looks at him with a mixture of surprise and fear on her face and then runs off into her room where she closes the door but peaks through a crack later to watch him walk away. Such a splendid film.

Then another favorite part of mine is where she overhears Lord Wrotham and Lady Vulcan (Justin - Gilbert)'s mother talking and plotting how to get rid of her but to gain her dowry and she runs off and runs into Justin and surprises both of them but seeing that it's him (Gilbert) she clings to him hugging him, as he is her only friend in that hostile house while he asks her what's the matter. It's just so romantic. I love it.

And then the scene where he finds out that she knows all their secrets and she offers her hand as agreement that she wont tell anyone and he examines her hands . . . tender

And then another time when . . . well haha might as well just watch it right? Right. But here's my favorite fanmade music video - love the song and love the movie so it's great -





And then if you want to watch the actual film - it's also on youtube in parts (that's how I watched it . . . couldn't find it at the library) Anyway - it was great. :)



Last words: I love Marcus Gilbert ;)

Doctor What?

Okay . . . so many people I know don't know what this is about but a LOT do. So there's this British TV series called Doctor Who. I often like it though not always love it but my sister and our friend are both avid followers ;) haha sorry you two - I'm teasing you, take it with sugar though - I love you both.

Okay so I just BARELY got done seeing the episode in the third series titled Blink. Wow. My last favorite when watching the first series was . . . I can't even remember but that one was my new favorite. Exciting, heart pumping and even though it doesn't include the Doctor as much he's a big part. But what I'm going to say is going to concern the two episodes before Blink titled Human Nature and The Family of Blood. Interesting titles I know. So . . . [spoiler alert] the Doctor turns himself human with no knowledge of his TimeLord existence and Martha is left alone to basically care for a weakling (sorry John Smith) but the Doctor/John falls in love with another human! So when the time comes for his human self to "die" and the Doctor to be brought back to save the day, he wimps out momentarily because of love, life and a beautifully normal human life. Which brought me to say something I thought very clever and which is what this post I think is really about. Here - I'm quoting myself ;)

"There is safety in normalcy and yet . . . there's power in living forever."

He can never know a normal life - living forever he will never live his life with only one true love, he's constantly switching forms and companions . . . and he's lonely. I find it so sad. Yes, it's a life of adventure . . . but never-ending? But then he's changing lives, he's rescuing universes constantly in need of his "protection". How do you choose? He can't choose. But in the episode The Family of Blood in a sense he did have a choice; not really (it was either a normal human life or the destruction of the world . . . not to mention Martha would never be able to go home and the glitches go on . . .) anyway, it's very similar to the Tuck Everlasting story. They chose eternal existence by accident and then asked Winnie to choose it by knowledgeable choice . . . and didn't choose it. And what about Eternity for us? I believe in an afterlife; so when we die . . . will we have something to do or suspended in eternal happiness? I dunno what the answers are to those questions. I just thought that I'd throw them out there. :)

But I also wanted to write this post because I wanted to make at least observations about Doctor Who.

1.) Ever time he meets his new companion and she realizes that it's bigger on the inside than on the outside . . . first she steps out . . . then back in . . . then looks around it . . . then back it. It's hilarious! Apparently the doctor notices too because when Martha first says "It's bigger on the inside" he mouths her words just as she says them. It's quite funny :D

2.) Also . . . when the mothers of the current companion first meet the Doctor and what he's all about . . . they slap him. That's it . . . just kind of funny is all :)

3.) So the title of the show is Doctor Who right? Right. Well . . . my sister told me that was because the people when they ask him his name he says "I'm the Doctor" but . . . I've never heard anyone say "Doctor who?" it's always been "Doctor what?" . . . what's with that? :D

I'm just being critical because I love it. I criticize things I love. So yeah - good show, I recommend it :)

Lots of Love!

KAYLLA

PS - wanted to use all my favorite pictures that I found but I'm only going to pick my favorites . . . depressing but after the last post I'm not ready to go all out again for a while. :)

PPS - [spoiler alert] the darker skinned girl is Martha Jones and the blond is Rose Tyler - the original of the newer series's companion. Rose is in love with the Doctor and he with her. Martha loves the Doctor as well but . . . he misses Rose. But she finds her own love - and requited love as well. :) so it all ends happy. (yay)

so yeh . . .

bye!

and for the second time - my name ;)

Lookalike?

Okay. Take a look at these pictures; the one on the left is Harry Lloyd in the bbc tv series Robin Hood and the one on the right is Matthew Goode from movies like . . . Leap Year and Chasing Liberty and probably some other cheapy movie ;)SO! My sister and I are always placing characters/actors from movies that we recognize, so like if we see a new movie and there is a familiar actor or actress then one of us has to name a movie or their name and a movie their in, whichever comes first really - mostly the movie part though. So . . . when I first saw Leap Year I was like "hey that's Harry Lloyd - from Robin Hood! It's Will Scarlet!" and I was so excited . . . until it wasn't. So I don't know about you but I don't really like lookalikes. They mess with my mind. Here's another one.

Okay so I know that in these pictures they don't look as much alike but in filming - I find it hard to tell the difference. You may recognize Camilla Belle (bottom left) from 10,000 B.C and When A Stranger Calls then Amelia Warner (upper right) from Lorna Doone and The Seeker or even Push. And no I haven't seen all those movies but I do know them by title ;) but I have seen most. OH and another good one that you would never guess. Ever taken a look at Keira Knightley or Natalie Portman bald? well if you do and put into perspective that Natalie's older then guess what!? You can barely tell them apart. Did you know that Keira Knightley was in Star Wars: Phantom Menace? I thought not! Apparently she was the decoy. Here - I really hate working with pictures and there are plenty of others . . . so I'm only gonna do like three more, okey? okay. Oh and Winona Ryder is claimed to look like Keira and Natalie but not . . . as much as they are to each other.

so Keira Knightly and Natalie. Both pretty good actresses - and both famous - and both in naughty films as well. So personally I don't like Orlando but I LOVE Rupert Friend. He plays Wickham in Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley and he also plays Prince Edward in The Young Victoria. Brilliant actor. Also British ;)
Do I need to tell anyone who these guys are? So the one on the left is Jude Law and one on the right is Ewan McGregor. Both very handsome . . . sometimes Ewan gets on my nerves.I'm not a friendly person - said that one before, I know a LOT of people like BOTH of these girls but personally . . . they BOTH get on my nerves. Nicole Kidman is not very pretty, sorry. and Amy Adams is a silly airhead. :) But . . . I'll give them the credit of maybe the benefit of the doubt. Sorry if I offend anyone. John Cusack and Matthew Macfadyen. Both very handsome, both tall, dark and handsome. Anyone ever seen Serendipity? Good film - John was amazingly brilliant as the lost lover with cold feet. And Matthew? His depth-felt depiction of Mr. Darcy (in my opinion) is right up there with the very best; namely Collin Firth. :) Both very good actors. Gotta love them ;)So Gwyneth Paltrow and the new Alice, Mia Wasikowska. Mia was AMAZING as Alice in Tim Burton's rendition. Oh man that movie was MAGICAL. I went and saw it for my birthday and I was just blown away by the collection of wonderful actors and actresses and they CUNNING skill (Mia definitely one of them), the effects, the well-written script (something hard to find), and the beautiful plot and story. BUT back to lookalikes - I like these two, both very moving actresses. I saw a trailer with Gwyneth in it recently - can't remember the title but she appeared to be playing the part just as heartfelt as she always is, just like in Emma. That was a beautiful film even if it wasn't my favorite Emma version to date. :) But that was NOT her fault, probably more the artistic aspect of it. Good cinematography but not my taste . . .
Has anyone NOT seen Batman? okay I'm one of the FEW FEW FEW who didn't know that that was where Christian Bale REALLY got famous. I always said "hey yeah the guy from Newsies" but no. It's Batman. The man who faced his fears. Okay so he's on the right and the guy on the left I didn't recognize but maybe you will, he's Peter Facinelli. So I can't comment on him because I just don't know who he is but he does look kind of cute. I dunno though - I don't like beards or goatee's and etc. :)

SO that's it with my commentary. I'm done now. I have a LOT more saved on my computer but these were the ones I really thought most people would know who they are. So yeah, if you end up wanting more of my lame humor and sarcastic remarks maybe tell me and I will think about posting the rest of my lookalike collection. Also . . . I should do a post on my favorite actor of all time: Mickey Rooney. sigh.

Okay so . . . I'm done now!
bye!
