I love writing. If you want to know anything else just ask me or else read up! I have two blogs ("A Pen Itching To Bleed Onto Paper" and "The Rebirth of J"). One of my blogs (A Pen...) is updated more frequently than the other. "The Rebirth” is more of a story I am writing with my life whereas "A Pen" would be my random thoughts past, present, and future in this unfolding journey I call life. If this is your first time reading my blog, please visit Post #2 for the month of April 2008 in my "A Pen" blog archives... Thanks!

Review: Definitely Maybe

*****

So Last night I watched one of the best movies I've seen in a while. (Well actually, the best movie I saw before that was the Bucket List...What is it with great movies coming out lately?)

Definitely Maybe, starring The witty Ryan Reynolds and the quirky yet adorable Isla Fishers, Is a story about a 30-something year old dad that decides to share the path down his love story with his daughter. Reminiscing about a few past love interests, he and his daughter come to the conclusion that even after all this time, he had yet to find his one true love.

Reynolds plays a convincing role as a campaign worker turned businessman who hates his job and finds consolation only in seeing his daughter two days out of the week. Reynolds is confused about his past love life and doesn't see the clues that his past loves drop on him (as many guys can relate) and often has his young daughter reveal small details and clues to him.
My personal favorite parts of the movie include the acting skills of Reynolds and Fisher Themselves who did a phenomenal job on this movie, the music of Nirvana and Sinatra during their "early 90's" scenes, and the story line revolving around the '92 Bill Clinton Campaign. These were small things I liked about the movie aside from the storyline itself, which was exceptional.
