How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS. PLEASE. I love this movie. I have seen it once before but I wasn't feeling well this past weekend and it seemed like the film to solve whatever was happening. Kate Hudson is just so beautiful, and Matthew McConaughey also is a good co-star for the attractive, rom com lead. 



Premiering in 2003, Kate Hudson as Andie is a New York journalist writing for “Composure” as the “How to” girl, advising women how to do certain things in the modern age. Andie gets fed up with the boring writing, but needs to prove she can write well plotting the “How to date a guy in 10 days” dating Ben, Matthew McConaughey. Ben has his own agenda with a bet if he makes a girl fall in love with him in ten days to secure a spot for a diamond account in “Composure.” 

There are so many romcom movies that I love, and they all have similar stories, but Kate and Matthew have such good chemistry throughout it gives me so many butterflies watching it. Throughout the scenes it has the early 2000s flare of the outfits, the quotes, the lingo and the late grain I love. 

The whole point of this post however, is the yellow. Dress. 


YELLOW??? This is a color I have NEVER seen in early 2000s movies. Baby blue, pink, and light neutrals are all colors that are commonly seen but yellow is such a statement and such a golden look into her. When reading in class about the male gaze over the past couple of weeks, they give such a bright light on Andie making her look so beautiful I think for a feminine gaze. The dress is so simple but elegant, and has a subtle low back, slip dress style with golden tones against her blonde hair.


I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes a classic romcom, but one that makes you fall in love with both characters. 10/10 fabulous.

Devil in Ohio

  Devil in Ohio Devil in Ohio premiered on Netflix earlier this month based on the novel and creator, Daria Polatin. Starring Emily Deshenael, playing the character of Mae Dodd, she escaped from a cult leaving her in the hands of a psychiatrist at a nearby hospital.  Watching the trailer got me so excited because I am a huge sucker for cult and crime documentaries. The acting in this show is… bad. However, even though it is not a documentary and more of a mystery drama, it does a good job with the suspense of the wonder of the cult. If you are interested in watching this series, I would not recommend reading as it will be filled with spoilers…Here we go! Episode one is insane. Opening scene is Mae running through a corn field covered in blood, holding a knife as she runs to find someone who can help her. As she approaches a car, she throws away the knife to stop a truck to pick her up and help. Following, we get introduced to Dr. Mathis, a psychiatrist who works with Mae the ...

Psycho!

  “The Shower Scene '' from the film Psycho premiered in 1960 starring Janet Leigh as Marion Crane and Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates. This particular scene is one of the most famous scenes in cinema history. Filled with jump cuts, this black and white film has the most intense point of view, and pretty bad acting but is curated super artistically. To start, the shot opens up with the toilet flushing and Marion has her back to the door while the camera moves with her to close it. She takes off her robe and walks into the shower as this is the first jump cut. She closes the shower curtain with just her silhouette showing as a foreshadowing for later in the scene. The next shot is a connecting jump cut that starts on one end and ends with her standing up to turn the shower head on. Continuing the rest of the scene is a long montage of different angles with the music intensive for when she gets stabbed. The rhythmic flow of the video has a light feeling without any suspicion unti...

Falling for Christmas- Lindsey Lohan

Lindsey miss Lohan. Falling for Christmas has premiered on Netflix this past week starring Lindsey Lohan and Chord Overstreet. Already, this film has received an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 5.5/10 on IMBD. Lindsey Lohan has been on a hiatus for almost 10 years now making this her debut back to the big screen and I am SO excited to her in more things. Falling for Christmas is about a newly engaged heiress who gets in a horrible ski accident and develops amnesia. She ends up in a secluded lodge where she meets the new love interest. Horrible plot, but its Lindsey!!!!! The acting is bad, the graphics and movie is not great, but it is a great, classic Hallmark film to watch on a snowy day.  I remember being little and obsessed with Lindsey Lohan and everything sh was in so this is such a huge moment for me to see her again on my TV, even with her lip injections. Netflix has continued to premier endless Christmas movies every year with their collection getting bigger each season of rea...
