Midnight in Paris

I finally saw Midnight in Paris and I don't want to give away too much, but i'd say it's definitely worth seeing.  Before I saw it, I had pretty low expectations.  I wanted to see the movie that everyone was talking about, but also was prepared to be sorely disappointed if it turned out to be a predictable rom-com with some pretty scenery and cliched vignettes of the City of Lights.  However, it's a rare treat to leave a movie feeling inspired and thoughtful, and Midnight in Paris achieves just that.  I must also confess that  I'm a sucker for the "lost generation" with Matisse being one of my favorite artists and Fitzgerald my favorite author...so take that for what you will.  What do you think...did you see it and love it or are you going to skip this recent Woody Allen flick?

Plus, see what fall movies Jo from a Cup of Jo is looking forward to this fall.

long distance

Although I am typically not a sucker for romantic comedies, I could definitely be suckered into seeing Going the Distance with Drew Barrymore and Justin Long.


I know all too well the struggles of a long distance relationship...but if you find the right person, it is definitely worth it.  My bf was here for the whole past week!  It has been the most time we have spent together since college, and now that he leaves on Sunday, I can't imagine how we are going to go back to skype dates and g chats.  Oh well, what can ya do?  We did have a marvelous week of camping, concerts, dinner parties, nights out and dinners in.
