Waiting For Forever



Oh how wonderful it is when a respectable red-headed brotha can find a chick-flick that satisfies all my expectations (and MORE!), even though it wasn't a largely produced or advertised film.  By far the most stalker friendly Romantic Comedy since "Bed of Roses", this film proves to be unbearably creepy at times (or desired, depends on which side of the coin you've chosen).  It follows the story of Will Donner and his quest to win the heart from his childhood sweety. The only problem he has is... EVERYTHING!  She is the smoken (but modestly) hot girl from the Crappy "O.C." show, and he's a bum who wears PJ's all day every day.  Unlike the main character's PJ's, the movie itself is not ugly, boring, and full of pee-stains, this movie oddly succeeds in being light-hearted and fun; it made me want to  open one of those bags of "fun-dips" candies (don't ask).  There are two things you can get from this movie.
1. A huge smile on your face if you had a bad day, or are about to have one, and
2. If you're a stalker, then this movie gives you free advice on how to be more efficient at your profession.

The Conspirator


Funny thing about Robert Redford is that he may be a good looking man (for his age), and he may give off that charming demeanor, but i'm pretty sure he's as boring as a senile old man doing stand-up comedy... wait that actually sounds amazing... I digress.  I was worried because Redford's movies have a tendency to be like him, dashingly well put together but as boring as a slow BM.  ALAS this movie does not fall into the rest of his pile of droppings.  It was surprisingly not that bad, and it actually reminded me of the Clint Eastwood film "Changeling" with all of courtroom scenes.
It drives me so crazy when I see movies like this and "The Majestic" where a bunch of old piggish men wearing fancy suits, and they give a person a chance to trial only so the person can have no chance of winning and eventually be executed.  I'm sure the entire time the trials in "The Conspirator" were going on, Abe was looking down (honestly) from heaven thinking to himself "what a bunch of idiots! you guys are acting like a bunch of Elementary kids arguing over toys in the sandbox!" Then shortly after saying that he got ready for his famous Geico Commercial.
