Hey guys I just wanted to make a quick post about this movie I just finished watching to which I also have posted the link above. The movie is "The Lucky One" by Director Scott Hicks and based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. Now, I'm NOT a big romantic -ask any of my friends- and the only reason I watched this movie was because I am a huge Nicholas Sparks fan (guilty pleasure, don't hold it against me). I have read several of his books and have loved all of them, matter of fact, "The Notebook" is my favorite movie and my favorite N.S. book as well. After having said that I guess it's clear why I saw this movie. But if there is one thing I am is honest, and I gotta tell you, I just finished watching it and thought WHAT THE F-CK?! This movie is crap!

So basically the argument is this one guy named Logan (Zac Efron) is a marine who just got back from Iraq and had a bunch of messed up things happen to. According to what I understood he's "the lucky one" and we realize this after seeing how everybody around him seems to keep having all these tragedies happen and he's just mad because he survived? Okay... Then there's this lady, Beth (Taylor Schilling) who just lost her brother, is divorced from a real a-hole, is an orphan and lives with her granny and 8 yr-old son. In a very predictable and Nicholas Sparks-like turn of events these two characters who at first seem to not get along at all start an affair and it's all sex from there... So as Logan keeps "getting lucky" -get it? lol- this lady has yet another tragedy come her way when because of her new boy toy her douchebag ex-husband threatens with taking her son away and ruin her life, yet again. Finally the kid's dad ends up dying while trying to rescue him after he was trying to kidnap him? - major WTF right?!?!- and so Logan and Beth end up getting together... a bunch of other stupid shit happens in between but that pretty much sums it up for you.

So here I am thinking what the hell was Nicholas S. thinking? This so called argument is so crappy it should be a lifetime movie. He's just trying too hard and guess what? IT AIN'T WORKING!! They weren't crazy in love, there was no grand gesture like in most of his books and the ending is just plain stupid. This poor kid ends up losing his dad-which is not really much of a loss- just so a 25-year-old war veteran can bang his mom guilt free. I stand corrected this last sentence pretty much sums up the whole movie. There is no lucky one in this movie!! I certainly do not feel lucky that I watched it or inspired. I just feel like someone should pay me for having watched this.

Now it's possible that I'm being too hard on it. It is after all not supposed to win an academy award -which it certainly won't- it is just suppose to entertain. And let me tell you something Zac Efron is one hot piece of ass! I can see the entertainment there... However, I do wish I'd seen a little more Noah Calhoun and a little less Nate Archibald (that irrelevant pretty boy from Gossip Girl) in his character. This one? a total disappointment. I don't really recommend you see it unless you think you won't miss that hour and forty minutes of your life that I assure you will not get back...like ever.

It's completely up to you, you've been warned.

Musical Fantasies

A couple of days ago I was randomly watching videos on youtube and singing along to my favorite songs (like everybody does all the time even if they say they don't) and I started noticing that the songs I liked the most are the ones that have videos I can either relate to or contain some kind of fantasy of mine. Now, before you pervs out there start imagining some weird fetish, I must make clear that when I say fantasy I mean things that I wish I could do without getting in trouble or having to face any consequences like the people in those videos do. So I came up with a list of videos that I think represent some of my top fantasies.


#1. I've always wanted to thrash someone's house without getting in trouble for doing so. And Kelly I must say really knows how to get away with it!





#2. Another one I remember dearly from my adolescent years is Avril Lavigne's "Complicated" because what teenage kid wouldn't want to run around the mall doing all kinds of stupid things with a group of friends and never getting caught by the dumb security guy... So, to answer Avril's question:  I DO want to "crash the mall"


#3.Now here is one that made wish my boyfriend would cheat on me just so I could key his car, carve my name into his leather seats and pretty much just beat up his car and say "you deserve that for being an ass!" (of course I never want anyone to cheat on me and I would never damage private property, but it's fun to think about doing it)


Before you all start thinking I'm some kind of psycho wanting to thrash someone's house, car or even the mall I give you fantasy number 4: To stand up when someone calls for "the real slim shady" and tell everybody else that they are imitating and they're a bunch of posers... Hell yeah! ( I'm weird and have feelings for Eminem, don't judge)

#5. I've always wanted (much like Olive Penderghast) a really cool musical number for no apparent reason. And I think She and Him do a great job at doing random stuff on campus. So here it is fantasy number 5 "to put up a dance choreography in the school halls for no apparent reason".

And for those of you who thought I was going to say Britney Spears "Baby one more time", give me some credit won't you?!


And there you have it, there are more things in my list of weird fantasies from music videos but I'm not going to go through all of that here because I don't even think anyone made it this far reading and/or watching the videos so this is where I stop.

If you have weird music video fantasies please tell me in the comments and I'll for sure watch the videos!!

PS: I thought of another fantasy that is definitely #1 on my list forever and always but that I didn't think of until now and that is "being Justin Timberlake's video girl and make out with him for hours and hours". In the case I don't make it to Justin's video I'll also be very happy to make out with Adam Levine from Maroon 5!! (just in case anyone wants to grant me a wish)
