For the past couple of months, I have been trying to broaden the types of movies I have been watching. I have seen old Hollywood classics, which I have grown to love very much. I have seen movies from the 60s that everyone tells you to watch. I have seen stupid movies that I just wanted to see and I have seen movies that seemed cheesy enough to be amazing. But there is something I have realized. I hate movies that give their viewers a false premise. Actually, sometimes I love them, but that's beside the point. They give me emotions that I really don't want the world to see. It's one thing to watch a movie by myself, where I can react any way I want and not have a single soul to watch me. But when a movie makes you want to just break down and cry your heart out (not that I would ever do such a thing) and you are watching it with someone else, you have to keep it inside, which is really really hard to do. That's what happened when I watched Steel Magnolias with my little sister. It gives this impression that it is another cheese romantic comedy with actresses like Dolly Parton, Julia Roberts, and Sally Field, but what it fails to tell you is, the ending is horrifically sad. I need to warn people about this for future movie watching endeavors.
Another movie that is equally sad, which I had the fortune to watch by myself, is A Good Year (or is it The Good Year, I have no idea). It has mostly happy points, but there are flash backs frequently that occur, which are always sad no matter what.
Tomorrow I will not be able to post a blog, as I am going to be spending the night with my friend Carrie. But, I will be back Sunday. :)
