Chocolate Kisses

A car accident puts Paige (McAdams) in a coma, and when she wakes up with severe memory loss, her husband Leo (Tatum) works to win her heart again.

It’s been a while since I written a movie review. Here is my latest review:

So I decided that I wasn’t going to spend my Valentine’s day at home by myself. I was going to make the most of it and go do something that I enjoy doing. So I decided to go to the movies and see the sappiest movie that was out, which was “The Vow” with Rachel McAdams (one of my favs) and Channing Tatum (good eye candy).

I love, love, love Rachel McAdams. Ever since The Notebook and Mean girls, I’ve been a fan. And not to mention, she also dated the sexsi, cool guy Ryan Gosling. So that means she has good taste in men in my book. To me, Rachel McAdams is an underated actress. I think she could possibly be one of the best actresses in Hollywood right now. However, you would know that by some of the movies she has played in. Unfortnately, Hollywood has typecasted her into these rom-com/love storie movies. Which is fine. But it doesn’t do her justice. I think that if she were given a serious role, she would kill it. Hopefully Hollywood would give her that chance. Only time will tell. Channing Tatum on the other hand, not the best actor but definitely easy on the eyes.

So after work, I treated myself to dinner ($5 footlong at Subway!) and headed over to the theatre. Now for some reason, I guess it didn’t click for me at the time that I was planning the night, but I did not think that there would be that many people at the movie theatre on Valentine’s day. Why I thought that I have no idea. But it quickly became apparent that maybe going to the movies to see a love story on Valentine’s Day by myself was probably not the brightest idea. I literally had a ”blonde” moment. As I sat in the theatre with the lights slightly dimmed, I got the opportunity to see all of the lovey dovey couple walk in arm in arm with flowers or balloons. Smiling like that had just won something. I got to watch the young couples take self portraits of themselves that they would soon post the to their Facebook Walls with a caption that read “Date night with my Love <3” or something of that nature. To say that seeing this was quickly making me bitter about the VDay was an understatement. I kept searching for validition that it was ok to be ther by yourself by looking around the theatre to see if I could see anyone else who was there by themself.  Nope. Just me.

As for the movie itself, it was all that I expected it to be. CHEESEY. But also fairly decent. Would I watch it again? Quite possibly. Would I buy the DVD? No. The movie was not the classic love story. It still followed the boy meets girl and they fall in love formula. But it also took a bit of a different route that I hadn’t expected. I must point out that this movie is based on true events and they did show a picutre of the couple at the end of the movie. So knowing that added little more to the whole movie expierence. Now the The Vow is no Notebook. It couldn’t even touch it with a stick. However, it was surprisingly decent and I would probably recommend it to others but as a rental.

So I give this movie 3 hearts!

I like drinking coffee alone, and reading alone.

I like riding the bus alone, and walking home alone.

It gives me time to think, and set my mind free.

I like eating alone, and listening to music alone.

But when I see a mother with her child;

A girl with her lover;

Or a friend laughing with their best friend;

I realize that even though I like being alone

I don’t fancy being lonely.

Why do I feel like I just birthed Blue Ivy myself? I feel a sense of excitement. Like WOW, a new baby. I felt like I was there in the room giving Beyonce push instructions, helping her with her breath count, crying tears of joy when I heard the baby’s first cry, giving out hugs to all of the friends and family members like I was one of them. As much as I like to imagine what it was like, the REALITY of it all was that at the time Blue Ivy was making her debut, I was at home sitting behind my computer searching the internet to see how many sites had announced the birth of Blue Ivy Saturday night….totally LAME lol

SN: Blue Ivy….really though? I know there is some crazy explanation for this name and I’m dying to find out what it is.
