So I've watched a lot of movies lately. In the theater I saw Whit it and Bright Star. Both were really good. Whip it was entertaining, maybe a little sappy. It made me and my friend interested in roller derby. Bright Star was a little long, but visually beautiful. The story was total romance, something I just love. I just completely fall for the romance of period films, "we love each other but can't be together" struggle is really appealing to me for some reason. It is about a love affair thatthe poet John Keats had toward the end of his life. The acting was also really great. It was directed by Jane Campion, which in my opinion is an amazing director, and there should be more women directors.

I've also gotten several movies from the library lately. An unending source of movies for free!
One of them was also directed by Jane Campion, The Piano. I liked the directing, but didn't love the story as much as Bright Star. The sad part is pretty much all the movies I watched just seemed mediocre to me.

Also this weekend I went to 9 Irish Brothers and saw a band named Searson. I've seen them a few times before. It was so much fun, my friends and I even got up and danced!
