It's An Obsession...
Hey Everyone,
It is about time that I share an obsession of mine with all of you. Are you ready? This will absolutely shock you!!! Okay... I am obsessed with the media. I know, how shocking especially for a PR student and all. To be even more specific I love the entertainment industry, for me it's overwhelmingly addictive. Not a day goes by where I do not check Perez Hilton, Yahoo!, TMZ or Just Jared to name a few of my favorite gossip sites. Although having an obsession with the entertainment industry is anything but healthy. I do like to pride myself on the fact that I could care less about how Kayne and Kim are having a baby and am more interested in let's say this years Oscar nominations. To bring this obsession full circle, I particularly love the film industry more then any other entertainment industry out there. And with the Oscars approaching I have been trying to brush up on this years Oscar nominations. Out of all the movies and performances that I have had the pleasure of viewing I cannot get over Silver Lining Playbook. Even more so then Les Mis, which is a huge deal for me considering how much I love musicals and how badly I struggled to suppress my emotions and the urge to sing during the movie. I got VERY into it...
I think the reason I enjoyed Silver Lining Playbook so much is because I love nothing more then movies that tell of inspirational stories and give viewers hope. Especially when these inspirational and hopeful movies have a little bit of romance mixed in there... In all seriousness Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence have amazing chemistry despite the age difference. I would actually care if they decided to have a baby, even if it was Kim and Kayne style. Although I find it highly unlikely that this movie will win all that much at the Oscars this year considering the abundance of amazing films that have come out over the past year. I will still watch in hopes to see this amazing film win something, anything or maybe catch a look of longing between Jennifer and Bradley...
Anyways, I decided upon writing this post because I want to share with you some of my all time favorite movies and actors. My taste may not be extraordinary in what I consider an amazing actor or film and yes perhaps I did cry at the end of the Twilight saga. But these are all simply individuals and films that make me happy and where I can always turn for inspiration to brighten up my day. Check it all out below!
