..::Pop Culture::..

Another not so exciting week for pop culture in my life.
With exams and homework, I do not get very much time to lounge around and watch a movie, read a magazine, or catch all of my favorite show's season premieres. I wasn't a total nerd all week though, I did just get done watching the season premiere of Grey's Anatomy. This week I also watched the movie Click.

I get so excited to watch Grey's Anatomy every week, and i've been waiting anxiously for it to come back all summer. Finally, it's back! So much drama and excitment! The premiere was almost as wild as the finale, which is saying a lot.
I love "Greys" because every character always has some crazy problem that they have to fix/deal with throughout the hour-long show. Oh, and the best part is that it is set in Seattle...

The movie Click was portrayed in advertisements as a another funny Adam Sandler film. So, that was what i was anticipating as I sat down to watch it. The movie begins with some humor, but quickly turns into a movie that really makes you think about how you're going to live your life. It becomes a very deep and sad movie that might just make you shed a tear. This goes for both guys and girls. I know this because I watched the movie in a fraternity, and the guys were getting a little teary-eyed toward the end of the movie with me. Definitely recommend this movie to everyone!

Next week there should be more to write about because I have no exams or papers!

Nothing too exciting

Lately I've been very busy with homework and studying, but I still managed to go to the movies once and watch some in my rec room with some of my friends. Nothing too terribly exciting, just movies to pass the time and relax in between exams, quizzes, and homework/studying.

A couple of weeks ago I did go see "3:10 to Yuma" with some friends. Going into the movie I figured I would hate it because westerns really aren't my cup of tea. Strangely enough I completely enjoyed it and would recommend it. It had a really odd, but hilarious kind of humor to it. It was a great story, had a lot of action, blood, and the typical "bad guys".

For some reason, the girls in my sorority chose to watch the dumbest chick flicks in our rec room. Last week we watched "Moulin Rouge"and "Coyote Ugly". "Moulin Rouge" is such an artist, but VERY weird movie. The characters and setting are very creepy at times and the story is a little too much to handle. Being a musical person, i love the fact that the characters break into song a lot. "Coyote Ugly" is a very provacative movie with bad actors. The main character is such a terrible actress! She makes the entire movie incredibly difficult to watch. The story is fun and interesting, not so sure if it's all that realistic. That could just be me being a tough critic though. Both, in my mind, are terrible movies.

Very boring week when it comes to popular culture.
