Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day ticketstubOh come on, no one is surprised I went to see this movie. Alone. On Valentine's Day. I consider it one of my responsibilities to meet expectations. Now, back to the review...

Hey look, another romantic comedy featuring a huge ensemble cast of pretty people! How could this possibly go wrong? The thing about these large ensemble cast movies is trying juggle all the various stories and often being left with the feeling that you never really get enough time with any of them. So I was relatively pleased to find myself fairly satisfied by the movie in terms of getting around to everyone. Of course, the deal here is that everyone is connected in some way. They're friends or coworkers or parents or whatever... As the movie progresses you are able to pick out who hasn't had their connections yet and fit them in to the proper slots, so not so much a mystery, but still fun. In the end, the bad people get their due and the good people find happiness and everything is right with world. I'm not complaining. With regard to the movie, anyway.

3/5

@alibakes Haywire is a sparse little covert thriller featuring a smooth jazz score. I can't think of anything else to say about it.

@kumailn Funny, at first I thought you were referring to the now defunct game studio.

@dcorsetto For the record, I'm more grossed out by pooping. And war. War and pooping, mostly.

@wired I only use Gmail to manage my Contacts. Today was the first time I had seen the new interface. I couldn't find the Contacts.

@jessiechar The scary thing is, most hipsters don't know they're hipsters.// How ironic.

Twitter ran out of "who to follow" recommendations for me. I should probably turn the Internet off now.
