To Be Determined

I have been accused of deciding whether or not I like a movie before I see it. I respectfully disagree.

I thought that I was going to love Crash; however, it only let me down. Granted, I have very much matured as a moviegoer since then, but I stand by my convictions at the time.

Valentine’s Day. I was expecting that movie to be phenomenal…it only let me down. With such an all-star cast, how was it not as good as He’s Just Not That Into You? Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy Valentine’s Day, but I was let down by it.

Just because I know what sorts of things I like does not mean that I decide whether I like it or not prior to seeing it.

Up in the Air did, however, meet all my expectations and more. It was captivating, witty, and the acting and directing were divine. I could watch it again and again, and still enjoy the nuances of the story.

I have been waiting months to see it, so yes I was looking forward to finally being able to see it, but no I did not already decide that I liked it. Don’t let my sister try tell you otherwise.
I have just one finial thought…watch out Kristen Stewart, there is someone on the Twilight set who is actually a good actor. Actually, that’s a lie. Anna Kendrick is a great actress.
