Movie Trailer on Repeat


It’s no secret that I have a bit of an obsessive disorder. Not obsessive compulsive. I don’t need to turn the light switch on and off ten times to makes sure it’s off and I don’t wash my hands five times in a row to make sure they are clean. I just obsess over things. Like new favorite foods, music, movies. I develop a very fast comfort zone and I very much enjoy my comfort zone.

Over the weekend I saw the trailer for Matt Damon and Emily Blunt’s new film called The Adjustment Bureau. Oh. My. God. I can’t stop watching it. The emotional build up of the music is so intense. And their chemistry….I never pictured them together but now that I see them it makes perfect sense. Check out the trailer here http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/universal/adjustmentbureau/ then we’ll talk about it.

Okay, did you watch it? Because we can’t talk about it if you didn’t watch it. It won’t make sense.

First we need to talk about Emily Blunt. I’ve decided that she’s my new favorite actress of the late 20’s/early 30’s age generation. I first remembered seeing her in The Devil Wears Prada. I just hated her character. Remember, she was Emily…Meryl Streep’s other assistant. God she was great in that movie. We’ve also seen her in Sunshine Cleaning (a fantastic independent film), The Young Victoria (we all know how much I loved this one http://charleewith2es.blogspot.com/2010/04/young-victoria.html ), The Wolfman - saw this one over the weekend and I must say it was far better than I expected. Think old school horror flick kind of feel. So now she’s doing a movie with Matt Damon. It has a Bourne Identity type of feel with the secrecy and all the running/escaping but with more of a romance element to it. I’m loving the comeback of the fedora in this movie. Matt Damon, can you please wear this hat in all your movies?

In every frame of this trailer you can sense the emotions. The desire, the anxiety, the despair, the confusion, the will, the passion and when it all comes down to it, the choice.

Do you remember hearing the line, “All I have are the choices I make and I chose her.” Please…that line is killer. I would love to write a line like that someday.
This is the kind of movie you go to not only expecting to watch it but also expecting it to pull you in and make you feel like you are them. When Matt Damon says “I need you to trust me,” I automatically want to say, “Yes Matt, I trust you”, and then when the other character says “They’re making a run for it,” I half expect to get up and start running.

This movie hits theaters on September 17th. I will be there for sure. I hope the music in the rest of the movie is as good as this trailer music. Here is the link to the song from the trailer: http://youtube.com/watch?v=rGvDvMEX4U0&feature=related it’s called Breath and Life by Audio Machine

Go ahead, watch it again.

Hallelujah Indeed

I have been so out of touch lately. I apologize. I miss my blogging. As you know, one of my favorite things to do is think. Think, think, think. So, while I have been so busy, I have been stockpiling blog posts. I have so many movie reviews to share with you and new artist to pimp out. I’m excited. In the midst of the chaos which sometimes is known as ‘my life’, I take refuge in movies and music. Music helps me think and movies help me forget. I become equally lost in both worlds, a place where the lines of reality and reverie are lost. But for today, we’re starting with this. Thank God, Heaven’s Above, Hallelujah Indeed. Did you watch the 2010 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies on Friday? Here are my top three moments. K.D. Lang, K.D. Lang and K.D. Lang. When the camera focused in on the barefoot songstress dressed in white cocooned by the orange glow of simulated candles (plastic flashlights made to look like candles) held by the audience and the first note broke through the silence,

One Year No Radio

Image
This week I’m celebrating my one year anniversary living without music radio. That’s right…I said celebrating. Don’t get me wrong, I still listen to music, and plenty of it…but since I removed the radio from my daily routine I am no longer bombarded with contests, terribly annoying advertisements, songs on far too high of a rotation or over the top excessive radio personalities. I do listen to the news radio station but only to receive traffic updates and road reports. Other than that…my life has been freed from it. I spend a lot of time in my car. A LOT. This is because I live in the burbs and have no choice but to commute. Honestly, I don’t mind the commute. It’s my ‘me’ time in the day. It’s the time when I do my best thinking. Good thinking requires music. Because music has the ability to make you think deeper. I love deep thinking. It’s cathartic. There was a time when the radio was very much needed. When the internet didn't exist. When the only way you could hear a new song w

Too Desperate?

Image
I have been stewing over this for a few days now…not judging…just making observations and trying to figure it all out and I’ve come to this conclusion. Ashley Greene hooks up with a lot of people and she doesn’t seem to care. In fact, I think she wants the world to see. She wants the reassurance that she’s hot and that other hot people want to be with her. If you don’t know who I’m talking about then next time you are walking by a magazine stand take a look at this month’s Maxim cover…she’s on the front…and posing hard. She’s hungry and she wants the fame bad. But it’s coming off as desperate in all areas. We already have a Megan Fox in this world and she’s doing great on her own. Back in April, Ashley was photographed with Ian Somerhalder..don’t know who he is? He played Boon on Lost and he now plays Damon on the Vampire Diaries. http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/04/15/ashley-greene-ian-somerhalder-couple/ What’s the connection here? Hmmm, let’s see. We both play vampires so let’s ho
