(500) days of Summer
Two movies that I did not see when they first were released, “(500) days of Summer” and “Rachel Getting Married“,
Rachel Getting Married
I got to see them this past week. I can remember there being a buzz about both movies and I had no expectations. I enjoyed both because of how they were written. One a melodrama and the other a romantic comedy and both were mysteries.
Some movies are predictable, following a story template and depending on high production value to entertain us (How many cars are blown up). Both of these movie where story driven, well acted and lightly produced. I got the sense that this is were everyone, the actors, writers, producer and director wanted to end up. I am just a sap for stories.
