i just watched amelie and i thought it was ok. the movie started out with great potential and a lot of quirkiness, but it just didn’t grab my attention. i did like the little plots and schemes, but i think at the end of the day, the kind of love story that i like revolves around either an unrequited love or the relentless pursuit of a loved one.

the movie that really surprised me was love and sex starring famke janssen and jon favreau. i thought it was going to be some kind of trashy B movie, but i really liked the plot. maybe because it did hit close to home with the on again, off again relationship. it wasn’t so much that the movie gave hope to me about love as much as it was nice to see the good guy win one in the end. as impossible as it may seem, the couple was able to overcome such odds and prosper. it definitely gave me the warm fuzzies and i recommend the movie. it is not your typical love story.
