Looking forward to...

-The Muppets movie (and this nail polish collection) I just watched the preview and yes, it looks cheesy, but I still want to see it. I want to get some of that nail polish too.

-Crossed by Ally Condie In fact, just thinking about Crossed makes me want to reread Matched!

-Ides of March Politics, George Clooney and Ryan Gosling? I am so in.



-Up All Night I love Will Arnett and Maya Rudolph. I have high hopes for this show even though he hasn't really had a successful show since Arrested Development. And Arrested Development achieved most of it's success after it went off the air.

-Bradley Cooper playing Lucifer Hollywood is making a film adaptation of Paradise Lost. This could go very wrong, but I do like the idea of Bradley Cooper playing Lucifer. He seems like a very smooth, sneaky guy.

-The Iron Lady Meryl Streep can do no wrong.

-J. Edgar (directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Leonardo DiCaprio) J. Edgar Hoover is one of those historical figures I didn't learn much about in school history classes. I remember learning about McCarthy, but not Hoover and it seems like Hoover was just as bad. I know this shows how much of a nerd I am, but I cannot wait to see this.

-The Great Gatsby film (also with Leonardo DiCaprio) Leo as Jay Gatsby? Swoon. You have to understand that I was at a very impressionable age when Leo played the characters of Romeo and Jack (Titanic). I've had a bit of a crush on him ever since.

-Prized by Caragh M. O'Brien A dystopian novel involving reproductive choices- you know that's one I'll be reading.

UM. I've never heard of several of these things and now I'm excited too!

That nail polish looks so fun, and makes me want to actually use it. (I think I've painted my nails twice in the last five years.)

I saw previews for The Ides of March and Up All Night, and I am intrigued. I'd never seen Maya Rudolph until I watched Bridesmaids, but it was hilarious and I love her now. And I like Christina Applegate more now after I've been watching Samantha Who?

And I'm so excited about all four of those other movies! Moreso Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep than Bradley Cooper, because I don't care much for him. But I adore Meryl Streep, and I am a huge fan of Leo's grownup stuff. (I have to admit, I had the Titanic crush too, but after that I actually went the other way and decided I didn't like him. He's such a good actor now, though, and all his movies are really great.)

Yay! Thanks for posting this, I like having movies to look forward to. I usually don't see much I like out there.

I'm excited to "Up All Night" as well. Looks super funny and definitely something I can relate to :)
