Since August is my favorite month of the year (summer vacation + my birthday = fabulousness), I fully intend to update this blog WAAAAAAY more often this month. For real.
To ring in my favorite month, I took my little sister to see (500) Days of Summer. Now, as it turns out, this movie is not about summer at all. It's about Summer, a woman who works as an assistant at a greeting card company, and her relationship with Tom, a greeting card writer who dreams of being an architect. The story is told in a series of vignettes from the days of their relationship, starting with their breakup, and moving on to their childhoods, eventual relationship, and their inevitable reunions in a shuffled but not confusing account of love.
I have always really enjoyed watching both Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and they were fabulous in this movie. The actors and actresses who played the minor characters were perfectly selected for their roles, and the filmography was extraordinary. Overall, I felt that the movie was probably the best one I've seen so far this summer (yes, I went to see Harry Potter and all I can say is "ugh").
And I can't wait for Whip It.
