Amazing!

Hi friends,

I don't have much to write about today, except I would feel like I am withholding something from you if I didn't talk about an amazing movie I rented and watched today. "Garden State" starring Natalie Portman and Zach Braff (he's the dude from Scrubs). He wrote and produced it, too. First off, Zach Braff is extremely attractive (although I'm sure none of my close friends will agree with me on that one!). Secondly, Natalie Portman is great in this movie (sometimes I think she's annoying... like in the Walmart baby movie, which I have shamefully seen many many times). Third, the script is unbelievable. With the exception of the quasi-over-used F-Bomb, it's amazing. Very real, and connectable... which, I think, is what makes or breaks a movie like this one. I don't really want to talk about the plot or the story or anything that will ruin the movie for other people, so I'll leave all that out. However, I do want to share some of the more memorable lines from the movie. Like I said, the script was amazing.

"We may not always be as happy as you always dreamed we'd be, but for once, let's just allow ourselves to be whatever it is we are."

"This is your one opportunity to do something that no one has ever done before and no one will copy throughout human existence. And if nothing else you'll be remembered as the one guy who ever did this.. this one thing"

"You've changed my life. You've changed my life and I've known you for four days."

"How you feeling?"
"Safe... with you, I feel safe...like I'm home."

"If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like."

"You gotta hear this song. It will change your life, I promise you."


Anyway... rent the movie. It's a good one!

Love,
