Each week, I choose my favorite newly released film and review it based upon the preview. Here is this weeks pick:
Up
I am quite excited for this film and I am not entirely sure why. I guess the central image of a house floating underneath a huge bunch of balloons is pretty enticing. It seems like Pixar can do no wrong so I am confident that this movie will be thoroughly enjoyable. The premise of the film is that an old man/balloon salesmen takes off on an around-the-world adventure, only to find out an annoying little kid is stowed away on his front porch. I’m assuming what follows is a bunch of funny/exciting twists and turns that the whole family will enjoy. And because it’s Pixar it’s bound to beautifully animated and have some sort of secret message about diversity/acceptance. Delightful!

Dear Diary,
I find auto shows really exciting. Mainly because there are all sorts of futuristic new cars that look like they belong on ‘The Jetsons.’ I was especially excited about the new tiny car at this years New York Auto Show that was designed by Scion that looks just like a smartcar. It would be so much easier to park if everyone’s cars were only 4 feet long. YAY!

Dear Valentino,
I love the movie about you that I saw recently at Laemmle Sunset 5. I hope everyone else goes to see it too. It’s all about how you’re the last true couturier and how you and your boyfriend licenced your name and made millions in the 80z so you could buy huge houses where you throw glamourous parties. YAY! The film is totally gorgeous and well made and shockingly entertaining.
Love,

Dear Craigslist Missed Connection Lovers,
I love Missed Connections because it’s totally romantic while also being totally sketchy and gross. Yesterday, Missed Connections provided a much needed humorous gift in the form of a snappy comeback:

Crunch Lobby - m4m - 26 (Sunset)
I was waiting for my friend to come out of the locker room and you asked me what kind of watch I had…I said it was a Rolex and you asked if it was real (it really IS by the way). You seem like you might be straight, but people usually think I am too, so I thought I’d give it a shot. You are really hot…tell me what other stuff we talked about so I know it’s you.

Oh yes, label queens are always perceived as straight. Gimme a break!
