Movie Reviews; Adam and Paper Heart

"They didn't really belong there, but there they were." This is todays quote. It's from "Adam." I like the quote because for me it says even if you feel out of place, you're still there. Also, the quote comes from my favorite scene of the movie in which Beth and Adam are sitting in central park late at night, watching a family of raccoons. Beth asks Adam what the raccoons are doing in central park and he says "well, they don't really belong here, but there they are." I think he's sort of referring to himself and his own condition. Like, the world he lives in wasn't made for someone like him, but there he is.

The movie "Adam" was wonderful to say the least. It was heart-warming with a touch of humor and a lot of humanity. Hugh Dancy plays Adam and he does an amazing job. There was nothing that bothered me about this movie or left me expecting/wanting more. It ended the way it needed to end, and it wasn't even a fairy-tale ending. I really loved this movie, it was just so sweet. You almost get lost in Adams innocence and fragility. I highly recommend seeing this.

"Paper Heart" on the other-hand wasn't worth the money I spent to see it. While Michael Cera is as cute as ever in the film, it just wasn't good enough. It didn't make the cut for me. My friend and I were the only people in the theatre, which was fun, but the fun sort of ended there. The movie had good intentions but bad follow-through. I think it had to do with the main character. She was sweet but seemed so much younger than she actually is and was also slightly annoying.

Anyway, that's really all I have for today. I still have lots of packing to do and tomorrow is my day with my Mom.

So farewell until tomorrow night,

Sleep well and sweet dreams.

Yours truly,
