Welcome to People

Songs TBA

Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

    Pfeiffer kinda surprised me because she played her role more through her facial expessions than actual dialogue. I felt her pain with her troubled relationships. It felt real. I wish they showed a bit more, but it was centered more on her "son's" story. The whole film was really good. I'd see it again in hopes that they didn't edit it too much. Can't say too much more without giving too much away. But Pfeiffer fan or not, please Just. See. It.

    I'm not sure. They played plenty of good songs. I hated not having my phone cuz now i have no details to go by. All i know is that it enhanced the film a lot. Sorry i couldn't be of much help. I promise to get some stuff up as soon as i see it again tho i'm pretty sure you'd see it by then!

    Pfeiffer was good but unfortunately, i don't think it's award-good. If she had more screen time... maybe. She did play distressed very well & the scene w/her talkin to her son on couch towards the end nearly made me cry! She said somethin along the lines as, "I didn't want you to love someone so much& have that not be enough."

    I'm a huge Chris Pine fan so could you tell me how his performance was? Thank you.

    Sorry for the delay... Pine did a good job playing the hot shot salesman& then transitioning to a man w/a troubled past. I don't think it would've worked w/any other actor. Pine was not as known to play a "hero" so u couldn't predict what will happen. U wanna root for him but@ the same time u wanna strangle him
    He pulled these contradicting emotions outta u which made it good.

    How were the "kids" in the movie? My nephew plays one of the bullies :-)

    The main kid owned it. By far the greatest character played by a pretty realistic young talent. So, the bullies had it coming ;-).

    That's good to know that it played well. My nephew is the African American kid with braids. He said he had a ball filming the movie. Can't wait to see it. Hopefully they didn't edit him out too much :-)

    Rahman saab's music would be really soulful always, expecting to hear his beautiful orchestrations for the tracks and if any collaboration too..

    It's been a while and I'm still waiting. If any of you have any insight to this soundtrack, please fill me in. I think I got in trouble for mentioning as little as I did about this movie, hence why the details are scarce. I figured once it's released, it's fair game but wow what a wait indeed.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...
