Movie - Little Black Book

Despite what the critics say about this movie, Little Black Book is very good. You have a girl who spends a little too much time thinking about things and trying to make the perfect decision with no doubts. At the end of the movie, she realizes that she should just live and not think about it so much. There was a comment made in the movie by her where she said she spent a lifetime of planning preparing for a lifetime of living.

The movie has some good laughs, a great point, and is a enjoyable romantic comedy. A great date movie!

Movie Recommendation - Adaptation

This movie is greatness. I really enjoy deep movies -- ones that make you take a step back and really think. If you like the Eternal Sunshine, Vanilla Sky, or Lost in Translation type of movie, this one is for you.

I like searching for the point in movies and this one had quite a few. I think the following quote illustrates one of the points very well:

"There are too many ideas and too many people. And too many directions to go. I was starting to believe that the reason it matters to care passionately about something, is that is whittles the world down to a more manageable size."

Movie Recommendation - The Notebook

I watched The Notebook a few weeks ago and I highly recommend this movie. I think it is one of the best pictures of love I have ever seen -- I dare say it is better than Forrest Gump in that respect. You will walk out of this movie sad, but at the same time, very touched.

A quote that illustrates its beauty:

I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.
