Up for a good movie? Definitely go see Adventureland! Every preview I saw for it left me feeling hopeful about the outcome, and for good reason. Think of Juno-esque humor and cinematography set in the 80's at a theme park. Obviously no one is pregnant, but it's the same sort of style. Throw in Bill Hader and Jesse Eisenberg, a Michael Cera type of character, and you have a great movie. It certainly portrays youth well, and in some ways it covers some deeper issues in a light-hearted type of way. Not to mention you can never beat some romance! I know it's hard to think of Kristen Stewart outside of Twilight, but I thought she did well in this movie. One of my favorite characters was Frigo played by an actor called Matt Bush. Talk about hilarious. All in all it was money well-spent. I thoroughly enjoyed Superbad, and Adventureland was directed by Greg Mottola, the same guy.
On another note, Jesse Eisenberg was in this terrible movie called The Squid and the Whale. Try it out and see if you like it, but it's certainly depressing and the ending is pretty anti-climactic. I'm glad he was good in this movie though! :]
Along with seeing the movie, I also hung out with Kat! She finally got to watch Shaun of the Dead, a must-see for those who love British people. She had to leave at 4 for work though. :[ Later on Richie came over and we met up with Emily and Ben Turner at Frank's! We had a battle of the sexes car race to Wal*Mart, but sadly Emily and I lost. :[ Upon entering Wal*Mart, it made us realize how much we miss being kids. We played with bicycles and Nerf guns and relived the good days.
