Safety Not Guaranteed is one of those films where you think about in the back of your mind long after you've finished seeing it. I went and saw this film during a dark time in my life... and I can easily say that it played a huge role in saving me that night. 3 months later, I stumbled across it again while renting movies with my boyfriend. Assuming that I was biased in rating it a 9, I convinced my boyfriend to watch it with me. Nothing changed. I was still entranced. It still left me with this indescribable warmth and melancholy. I've never been unable to emote how I felt about a certain film before, Safety Not Guaranteed would be a first for me. Everything about it worked. Great independent film.

Not to mention my "strictly crude comedy or action based film only" boyfriend loved the movie as well. As he was beginning to tell me how he liked the film and why, his eyes welled up! And that made me cry ever more so.

How anyone can call this show boring and complete garbage is mind boggling for me. What hurts even more? Some of them claiming to be Joss Whedon's "fan" had actually said he lost his potential.

For one, Joss Whedon can never lose... anything. His mind is constantly working to create diverse, intelligent, cult-driven shows that will take us on an emotional high every time we watch it.

Dollhouse is perfect, even with its flaws (because honestly, nothing is "perfect" or else our world wouldn't be what it is). Joss is able to create villains that aren't villains. There aren't any demons or vampires or the supernatural here, and I think that's what makes some viewers dislike the show so much. They can't watch it and distance themselves from it by saying, "Oh he's a vampire so therefore blah blah... etc." In Dollhouse it's all about human nature and where we've taken ourselves. And that no matter how advanced our technology may be, we are all the same... always. You can never take someones soul away.

I refuse to watch anything belonging to Fox ever again (unless Joss somehow signs with them yet AGAIN for some Goshforsaken reason). I don't know how much more grief I can take when they go off and cancel it. Ugh. W-ankers!

I'm a sucker for romantic comedies. And I'm a bigger fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar/Prinze so maybe I'm a little biased when it comes to this movie.

Okay, so there are some pretty big flaws. But compared to most "chick flick" romantic comedies released these past couple years, Simply Irresistible is just simply much more enjoyable. The plot is simple, (wow, I need to use a thesaurus) but somehow it brings out the more romantic part in me. We've got these two beautiful actors, a magic crab, and voilà! They fall in love. Not all movies have to be complex and "deep" in order to be enjoyable and this movie proves just that. Light, fun, fairytale romance. What girl wouldn't say "awwwweh" to that?
