Was in a mood in the past week so I watched these 5 movies again for the umpteenth time. They’re all pretty short, simple and sweet. If you need a short movie to get away from life and are into romantic storylines, these are great!
10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
This is probably my third or fourth time watching 10 Things I Hate About You.
It’s typical, it’s funny, I like that Kat Stratford has an attitude and she behaves just like herself without caring what other people think of her. Her comebacks are great, too!
Basically, Patrick Verona was on a mission to win Kat’s heart, not because he likes her but because of money. And as the story goes on, he slowly falls in love with her.
Overall, this is your typical high school teen movie with lots of heart-melting moments. I’m a sucker for these movies.
Apart from Kat Stratford and Patrick Verona, I felt like I wasn’t so into the other characters.
Heath. Heath Ledger. This is probably the only movie of him I have watched and I don’t think I want to venture to the dark side. I’ll never be ready to see him as The Joker.
Freaky Friday (2003)
“YEAH! YEAH!”
I tell you, every time I see the sight of the Freaky Friday movie or think about it, I hear the song, “Take Me Away” going on in my head! But, it’s a good reminder.
I love how cool Lindsay Lohan is in here, and my, so hot! Love love love.
A high school teenager who loves her music (and looks so cool playing it), at the same time loves her family. This show talks about communication between a mother and her teenager, which is a common issue in many real-life parent-teen relationships out there.
Only through a soul switch that they start to understand what it’s like being one another.
It made me laugh and smile throughout. I will never get bored of watching this over and over again.
A Walk To Remember (2002)
THIS. THIS is my seventh or eighth time watching it since 10 years ago.
It didn’t hit me as hard this time now, thank goodness.
Landon Carter is a bad boy whose life took a turn when he met plain Jane and religious Jamie Sullivan. Jamie is another character whom I like because she sticks to her own beliefs, her own life, without behaving in a way just so that she fits into a certain category in society. Her replies and comebacks to Landon are kick-ass too!
Jamie turns out to be sick and does not have a long time to live, so you’ll see how Landon treasures every second of it with Jamie and does everything he can for her.
A sad one, this one.
Mean Girls (2004)
“On Wednesdays we wear pink.”
A classic line in Mean Girls.
Cady Heron joins high school for the first time after being home-schooled for years and she learns how to navigate her way in there. Originally a plan to get close to the most popular girls in school called “The Plastics”, Cady ends up being one of them. See how she realises what is truly important to her at the end of the day.
It’s still a good movie to watch but I think I’m getting bored because of the comedy that was a little too much but not funny enough.
Pretty In Pink (1986)
“Hey, it’s the girl from The Breakfast Club!” was my first thought.
I’ve never watched this before, and after reading the synopsis I gave it a try.
Well, can’t say I love it, it’s just OK for me. Not sure it’s because it’s too old or the storyline didn’t attract me that much. Great performances from the casts though.
It’s basically a love triangle between Andie Walsh, her best friend, Duckie and one of the rich and popular kids in school, Blane McDonough. See how the story blossoms when these two try to make it work due to the difference in their social and economic backgrounds.
This has been my mood last week. I get sudden urges to watch certain kind of movies depending on how I feel, so we’ll see what I feel like next.
Toodles!
