I worked at a Blockbuster so I had the opportunity to watch movies that I normally wouldn't watch due to not wanting to waste money. When I started watching Moonlight Mile I was already hooked on Jake Gyllenhaul and this movie just added to my admiration of his acting ability along with his amazing sex appeal. I am sure everyone knows about him now because of all the movies he has been in since. I just hope everyone takes the time to watch this one as well. One of my favorite romantic scenes ever(!) is when Jack and Ellen Pompeo are in the bar by the jukebox. OH MY GOSH! (Speaking of Ellen Pompeo, I will brag again to tell you that now most people know her from Gray's Anatomy but I was such a fan after watching this movie. Check it out!

I was blown away by this movie's in-depth concept of coming to terms with one's self through a relationship with another, with the incredible notion that you don't have to lose yourself within that relationship to be happy. The acting was PERFECT, from the two awesome main characters, all the way down to the "poindexter kid" in the classroom. And the story line was simple yet poignant and deep when it had to be. This movie will leave you feeling like you could be the girl and could find someone like Virgil...and that isn't a small feat! As far as tattoos are concerned, I have a whole new appreciation considering some of it as art and for the reasons behind it being such a popular trend.

This movie is the quintessential movie for all of us hopeless romantics out there, who believe that the feeling you get when you are with someone is more important than anything else in the whole world, at the time. This movie proves that in all it's wonderful simplicity with conversation being the focal point of two young people who have a connection from the get-go. I cannot WAIT to see Before Sunset when the two hook up again in 7 years. (It comes out on DVD in November...I just missed it in the theaters). I'll let you guys know what I think of that one too as this prequel left me hanging in what I guess I would call, a curious, wonderful sort of way.
