Pitch Perfect

How in the world did I wait so long to see Pitch Perfect?! I don't understand how it is possible.  It reminds of the a capella scene here at Dartmouth.  I had the pleasure of advising our groups for a few years.  They are so committed to making music and to their group.  This movie made me laugh and had great music.  I can't believe that I have not watched it sooner.  More importantly, I can't believe that my BFF and I have not watched this movie together.  I just sent him a message letting him know that we have been missing out. 

I mean, how can I not love a movie that does a "Riff-Off" and uses the song No Diggity.  No Diggity was a very popular song in 1997, my senior year of high school.  The senior girls did an entire choreography to song at a pep rally - hilarious memories.  

Dracula Opera

"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is an underrated movie.  It is on TV right now and I love it.  One of my favorite scenes is Peter (Jason Segel) singing pieces of hit puppet rock opera about Dracula.

lazy day movies

Today was kind of a lazy day - mostly because it is freezing cold outside.  There were some great movies on today.


Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is one of my fave movies. I love it.  It is all about believing in yourself and the magic of imagination.  The quote of the day is from this movie.  Mr. Magorium tells Molly Mahoney: "Your life is an occasion. Rise to it."

I love that idea.  It is something I need to remember all the time.  This is my life and I need to always treat it as some special and I need to believe in myself. It reminds me of the quote from the movie The Holiday that goes, "You're supposed to be the leading lady of your own life." I love the movie and that quote.   


The other movie I watched today is 500 Days of Summer.  I really enjoy this movie.  It is all about love, fate and the things that we can convince ourselves when we want love and companionship.

I especially enjoy the scene after Joseph Gordon-Levitt's first night with Summer (Zooey Deschanel).  She made his dreams come true....ooh...ooh.  Who hasn't walked around on cloud 9 the day after a great date or a good night.
