Take Me Home Tonight with a little The Town

So the choice was to stream a movie the other night, and I decided on Take Me Home Tonight. It wasn't a movie that I would have ever paid to watch in a theatre no way, but it wasn't terrible seeing as I saw it the whole way through. There have been movies where I have been like no way in hell am I wasting any more of my life on this movie. Take Me Home Tonight was not one of them, however I did multi-task during the movie, I was not able to just sit and watch it. I believe my laptop was in fact in my lap, and I was browsing facebook and probably my email too.

I think we have all had that moment when we ran into someone from high school, who was either a crush or a bully, and felt that what we have become wasn't good enough. And if you tell me that this has never happened to you, you are either a hermit who doesn't leave your basement, don't live where you went to school and never go back, or you were a popular kid or a bully. I have had that moment, even with people I would have called a friend in high school. I have skipped weddings I was invited to because I was not secure in what I had done with my life. Sad I know, but the truth.

We all have those moments where we want to be the best self we can be, and in a split second we feel it is not enough. I went through 14 months out of work in my field, and had to move home during that time. While I was home, I duck out of places if I saw someone I knew. Even now when I am less than six months outside of having my Master's, I have moments that I feel I haven't done enough with my life, because I am not married and have no kids. My peers from high school are married, and some have kids. I believe it is a constant thing that is just part of life.

This movie was basically just one of the run ins that spirals out of control. And parts of it were hilarious because I was putting myself in Matt's shoes and seeing how it would play out. I really thought that Wendy would get into Cambridge. Barry was funny, but I felt like he was the ultimate cliche of someone who is a loser after high school, I mean come on, he was a car salesman.

Overall it wasn't horrible, but I doubt that I will view it again. Unlike the other movie I just watched which was The Town, which hands down is one of my favorite movies. This was not on Netflix, but damn I had to mention it. I have seen that movie probably a dozen times and will continue to watch it at that pace. I absolutely love it, in fact I wanted to become a bank robber after I saw it in the theatre. (disclaimer, not really)

That movie is so bad ass. Ben Affleck is bad ass in it. I am not one to like action movies much, but damn this turned me on to them. I just watched the extended cut now, and there are some uber gory scenes, holy hell. And some shit made more sense after seeing the extended cut. Especially my favorite scene where Doug says to Jem, "I need you help. I can't tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we're gonna hurt some people." And Jem's response, "Who's car we gonna take?" I LOVE THAT SCENE! And then the after added in a lot of ah ha moments.

Now I am using my HuluPlus subscription instead of Netflix, I am soooo far behind in some of my shows. Maybe if I catch up I can keep up with one of my other blogs attached to this account. I attempt so much, and I am determined to actually make them succeed these days. Well until I Netflix again, I bid you adieu.
