The Daily Something

Yesterday I had a very lighthearted review of the fun movie Always Be My Maybe... this review is a lot different. This is a very dark book... possibly one of the most disturbing books I've ever read. First off... this book is written in the second person... meaning that Joe Goldberg the narrator is talking to "You." Who is you? Guinevere Beck- an aspiring writer who is currently attending Brown University who wonders into the book store Joe works at an instantly becomes obsessed with her. This book is very voyeuristic because basically you are following Beck through Joe's eyes. If he's watching her in her apartment- so are you... and you only really see Beck from Joe who is kind of an unreliable narrator because really he doesn't know much about her other than the person he thinks she is by watching her. He doesn't know how she thinks about him or how she feels at any point in the book really. This book also had some dark humor in it. Compared to som...

This was a movie I was really looking forward to seeing... but I knew I probably wouldn't see it in theaters. I don't see a lot of movies- no one I really know likes Thrillers or Horror Movies... so I knew I had to see this eventually and when I got it on Blu Ray... I watched it right away! And it did not disappoint. I felt like I would be a little bit spoiled by this movie because the trailer did reveal kind of a lot about the plot of the film... and that it would be a little bit predictable... but honestly I was pretty surprised and there were some twists and turns that I thought were really good. It was the perfect thriller movie in my opinion and it might be one of the best movies I've ever seen... it was really, really good. It was really a well-paced movie. It definitely eases you into a lot of the themes. At first when Rose and Chris are together it just seems really cute and innocent... and then you get to the house- and it's a little bit weird but... it did...
