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.
