What I've Been Watching: Movies

Usually I watch way too many tv shows throughout the day/before bed. Kind of like background noise while I play with the baby or before I go to sleep. This past week or so I've been more into watching movies, which is a little unusual for me, but I've been enjoying it. Here's what I've seen so far:

Dear John

Girl and guy meet, guy is in the army so he's leaving in two weeks and she's going back to college. Of course they fall in love, write letters, he ends up having to stay long than expected. It puts a strain on things. 

Wow, finally a Nicholas Sparks movie that wasn't completely predictable and didn't really depress me. I knew I'd enjoy the movie, I just figured it would end with me being sad. 
8/10

Remember Me

Guy has a bad experience with a cop, finds out he has a daughter and his friend convinces him to meet the daughter. I forget what their original intentions with her were, probably to get back at the cop, but either way they date, of course. She lost her mother, he lost his brother so they bond over that. 

Definitely not an ending I was expecting. It's a really easy movie to get into, and is really good once, but I'm not sure I'd watch it a second time. 
7/10

The Other Woman

I like Natalie Portman. In this one, she steals another woman's husband, they get married, have a baby, lose the baby. She's all depressed after losing the baby (of course) but takes it out on everyone, including the man's son from his former marriage. 

This movie was pretty sad. Only because I have a baby girl of my own so all kinds of sad thoughts were running through my head as I watched it. I liked the ending. Not the fairytale ending, but still kind of perfect. 
7/10

13 Going on 30

This movie I think is aimed at a slightly younger crowd than me, but it's just my type. 13 year old girl wishes she was 30, so boom she wakes up and she's 30. She finds her former best friend from when she was 13, but he's about to marry someone else. She finds out how horrible of a person she's been since she was 13. 

It's a cute, feel-good movie. The thriller dance-off is my favorite. I live for those super unrealistic dancing movie scenes. 
8/10
