Alice in Wonderland

Tim Burton is not my favorite director (the only thing I've really loved that he's done is Edward Scissorhands) so when I heard Alice in Wonderland was basically like Narnia, my expectations for it were low. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. I ended up actually really liking the film, but mainly because I loved Alice's character. She was witty, strong, and lovely.

500 Days of Summer

I saw this film last weekend and approve for the following reasons:

1. The Smiths are their first encounter. Sufjan Stevens was Andrew's and my first encounter.

2. The art direction is excellent.

3. It's the least cheesy romantic movie I've ever seen besides Amelie.

4. I've crushed on Joseph Gordon-Levitt ever since I saw 10 Things I Hate About You.

5. In real life Zooey Deschanel is marrying Ben Gibbard. Please make darling and talented babies soon.

10 things I hate about you

Watched it for the first time today since like 8th grade. So good. Can't believe I forgot how good it is.
