Due to last night's overindulgence of leechee martinis, I decided to stay in this evening and watch a movie.
It's just as well as there were sever thunderstorms in the area and who wants to drive in that?
Tonight's selection: "Catch and Release," a gem of a movie written and directed by Susannah Grant.
Released in 2007, this film tells a story of a man who tragically dies right before he is about to get married. His bride-to-be must pick up the pieces and in the process discovers some unsettling news about her deceased fiance. Get out the Kleenex! Before you lable this a complete chick flick- know that Kevin Smith does a fantastic job of lightening the mood with sharp humor... Yes, he speaks in this film- Silent Bob is long gone!
Was it predictable? A little. Did I care? Not at all.
Also starring:
Timothy Olyphant- Fantastic actor- so under-rated. He always chooses interesting projects. And yes, and he IS easy on the eyes- but that's not why I like him. There's a natural, unforced way of conveying emotions- an unforced way of delivering a scene... he's the bee's knees.
Jennifer Garner: Once again- cast as the "girl next door going through hard times. Truth is, she does it so well and I'm the first to turn on the waterworks whenever she cries in her movies.
Julliette Lewis- so awesome- she steals every scene she's in. To me, Juliette is like a younger Meryl Streep- she can morph into anything.
While watching this film, I snacked on fresh, bittersweet cherries.
