disclaimer: i don't have anything to say about the actual content of this trailer, i just had to post it because it contains a bunch of look-alike child actors.
in the beginning of the trailer, i thought the movie was going to be one of those where these two people knew eachother when they were little, but they're seperated by an unusual event, then they grow up, and then the fall in love or something....
i could have read the synopsis to find out this will not be one of "those" movies, but i like to be suprised
anyway, my reasoning behind all that was because the little girl looks just like christina ricci did when she was younger, and then the boy looks like he could be justin long.
if that wasn't enough, at the end the kid who has the telephone in his head looks just like the kid from jumanji (the one who gets turned into a monkey). i acutally thought for a moment it was that kid, until i realized he should be older than me right now.
so, movie execs if you're reading, if there WERE to be a movie that needs child actors who grow up later in the film, and you happen to cast justin long and christina ricci, get the kids from shorts to play the younger versions. totally.
anyway, if i was 10...i probably would still not see shorts.

foodstuffs
today's theme: FOOD
no further explanation needed.

last year, i accidentally bought the omnivore's dilemma at the university bookstore. after realizing it was for a different class that i wasn't enrolled, i did not return the book, instead i read it. hands-down the best mistake i have ever made. the movie food, inc, seems to be a sort-of adaptation of that book (considering author michael pollan makes an appearance). this movie will discuss the problems with the industrial food production system and the expanding monoculture in the world. considering the economic crisi, it is difficult to buy ethically-produced vs cheaply-produced, but hopefully through this movie (and books, don't forget about books...i beg of you, read, read, read) people will begin to understand the true costs of a 99 cent burger. i will most definitely see this movie, and i will continue to change my lifestyle to bring its message to life.

changing gears, the trailer for extract reeks of predictability. jason bateman is a middle-aged guy working at some boring factory, and his wife has stopped putting out. OH NOES! BUT THEN, a hot, younger girl gets a temp job at said boring factory. hmmmm, i wonder what will happen? putting the mid-life crisis plot aside, the one thing that intrigues me about this trailer is ben affleck as the hippie bartender/best friend. my friend benny hasn't been making the hits lately, but i know there is a comedic gold mine inside. he will either be the best or wost thing about this movie. mila kunis has been labeled as one to watch as she transitions from the small to big screen (formerly known as kelso's girl in that 70s show), but going by the trailer, her role isn't much bigger than being eye-candy. this is probably a movie i will rent, not see in theatres.
