I recently helped contribute to a really fun article for The Nest, "9 Celeb Match-Ups We Wish Were Real" by Kristin Koch.
Samantha's Movie Pick: Silver Linings Playbook
 |
| Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper star. |
While Silver Linings Playbook may be a romantic comedy, it is anything but typical of the genre. Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, and Robert De Niro, it is easily one of the best and most enjoyable films of the year. The movie deals with serious themes: Cooper suffers from a bipolar disorder and has a difficult time dealing with his wife's infidelity, and Lawrence is a recovering sex-addict. Despite their issues (and their age difference), Cooper and Lawrence have a definite spark. The evolution of their relationship will warm your heart, and will also have you laughing out loud. De Niro is also absolutely hilarious is Cooper's father, who is an obsessive-compulsive fan of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Silver Linings is already getting Oscar buzz; be sure to check it out soon.
Here's what I know...People make "time" for those they are "into"
Right about now, people are revisiting the notion of what "he's just not that into you" means. because the movie is hitting the theatres this week.So here's what I know...
(1)People make time for those they like, but time can come in many different forms.
(2)Before you write-off a guy or a girl because you are not getting the traditional "face to face, uninterrupted, I love you, kiss, kiss, kiss" time you want, take a real look at the time you are getting and try appreciating that time.
(3)Time might mean taking the time to write a sweet email as opposed to a one word "grunt" answer.
(4)Time might mean taking the time to explain why one needs to go MIA or why one isn't going to be available for the next several days, a week.
(5)Time might mean remembering something silly you said once in passing and then referencing it on the phone or in an email.
(6)Time might mean answering your call for 30 seconds during a business function.
(7)Time might mean remembering to make a Valentine's reservation in the midst of working 16 hour days because one is in the middle of losing one's biggest client or trying to avoid being one of the 10,000 people one's company is laying off.
Remember.... Whether or not "he's just not that into you" is never black and white!
