Eat.Pray.Love....Eat Some More!!!

So today I saw the movie Eat.Pray.Love with my nana, papa, and dad. So maybe the title doesn't have eat some more but hey why not! Well I kind of have mixed feelings about the movie. I felt that is was way longer than it needed to be (almost 2 1/2 hours) and I couldn't really decide how I felt about the main character Liz. On the one hand I felt she was a silly girl who ran around the world trying to fix her problems when she could have stayed home and done that...it's called life! BUT on the other hand it is the perfect girl movie. A girl who isn't sure about where she is who takes off to see the world, make new friends, and rediscover herself seems so enticing. So maybe not the movie you go to see at the theater but rent with your girlfriends and watch on a girls night.

Zach and I watched Shutter Island last night and I also had mixed feelings about this one. Overall it's a good movie but not what I expected. First I pictured scary, then after talking to others who had seen it thriller, but after watching it myself I would say mystery. I think the expectations I had prior to watching it made more of a letdown. Zach and I decided it was a good but not great movie and not exactly what we were expecting.
