My heart goes out to the people of Japan. It deeply saddens me to see the destruction caused by the earthquake and tsunami. But I know that actions speak louder than words so I’m going to make a donation to the American Red Cross<\/a> to aid in the relief efforts and I hope you’ll consider doing the same (if not to the Red Cross, maybe to the humanitarian organization of your choice).<\/p>\n

So Rob and I watched a matinee showing of The Adjustment Bureau<\/i> today (thanks for the gift card Jason! :))…<\/p>\n

I’d say it’s a solid movie. A little light in terms of the story but saved by the tremendous acting. Matt Damon<\/a> and Emily Blunt<\/a> are so charming and radiant together that you can’t help but root for them to be together. John Slattery<\/a> and Anthony Mackie<\/a> round out an amazing cast.<\/p>\n

ALSO. Very important. This movie is essentially a romance<\/i>. It’s being marketed as an action thriller but it’s not. It’s definitely a love story — just with action elements.<\/p>\n

The story revolves around the ideas of free will versus destiny. These central concepts ground the movie but there’s not enough detail to make it substantial. Even the ending came together too easily. Fortunately, the actors do such a fantastic job at selling the story that the happy ending feels satisfying nonetheless.<\/p>\n
