I just saw License to Wed today.  It’s about as typical a “romantic-comedy” you get.  Couple who begin the movie in a dreamland of “love” and are perfect for each other, throw in the antagonist, who happens to be Robin Williams the wedding counselor/priest/friend of the family for over 20 years, plus “shit-we’ve-never-fought-til-now-our-relationship-is-doomed,” yadda yadda yadda, also add into the mix a kid here and there for comic relief although kids never act the way they do in movies and you have a happy ending.  Don’t we all feel great?

Actually, if you can stomach a very predictable storyline, it’s not so bad.  There’s truth in the story too, marriage isn’t easy.  Anyway, the only reason Caitlin and I went to see it is because of John Krasinsky.  We all know him as “Jim” from the Office.  He pretty much played Jim is this movie, although it was with Mandy Moore as “Pam” and that was disappointing as I’m sure you all could guess.  There were other Office people in it briefly too.  Kevin, Angela, and Kelly all had a few lines and were quite funny.  Worth it for me.  I love the Office.

The other day we saw Once at the independent film theater in downtown Colorado Springs.  Very good film.  The ending wasn’t what I would’ve guessed, and I was glad.  Anyway.  It’s pretty much a musical, but in a very non-”this movie’s a musical” way.  Two songwriters chance to meet, hang out for a week, record some songs, and begin to pick up their before they met messed up lives.  Very good.  The music is incredible too.  I do highly suggest all my friends see it.  Especially is you like “O” by Damien Rice.  Very Rice-esque, though more visceral.

That’s it till later.
