Runaway Bride (1999)

Rated PG; 116 minutes

IMDB rating: 5.4

My rating: 7.8

Without wasting time, this movie explains to the viewer in the first 15 minutes the plot of the movie, and even before that your attention is grabbed in the opening credits, and excitement heightens when the bride from Maryland that leaves her expectant husband alone in front of his friends and family is exposed.

Maggie Carpenter, played by Julia Roberts, is an average woman in a small Maryland town, except for the fact that she has left three fiancés at the alter and has made such a habit of this a reporter, Richard Gere, takes a special interest in this tale and visits the town to write a story on the woman that is the runaway bride.

I just can’t get enough of Julia Roberts playing the part of the romantic interest that’s always a little damaged on the inside and gets rescued by some amazing guy. Also, I love the Roberts/Gere reunion that takes place in this movie. There is such chemistry between the two that is further developed and exposed in this movie, and I found myself forgetting I was watching a movie and hoping I would find my savior one day too.

Every girl can sympathize with this story as it goes through all the stages of a relationship, including the self-worthless-grovel-for-him-back phase that we all try to deny happens. Along with each phase, Roberts character displays some key qualities most women carry out in relationships. For example, it will forever occur that women will lie about interests and hobbies to try to bond and connect with an attractive man, but this story really takes it to an extreme.

Some may think my rating high, but I love chick flicks and this is truly a classic. It has the perfect blend of silly and witty comedy, family drama, fear, joy, jealousy, relationships- good and bad- and others doubting you. Everyone can relate to a relationship where one of the parties hasn’t been able to fully commit, in some way to the shared union, and this movie exposes that reality in an extreme way, allowing for a much-needed comedic touch.

Exposing truths is one of this movies strongest qualities. Such as the reality that if you are attractive, most women will get certain special treatment from guys, but on the other hand, this same quality will cause tension among friends, boyfriends, and family. And everyone has a friend like Maggie Carpenter, and myself, that has to discover the hard way about friendship, flirting, and relationships.

Overall, it’s a good movie to lift up your spirits if your down and looking for a relaxing 90’s classic to give you hope for your romantic future.

The Whale (2011)

Rated G; 85 minutes

IMDB rating: 7.8

My rating: 8.8

I want to start off by saying that I love this documentary so much that I went through the trouble of learning how to put the trailer up for you guys, which was actually a challenge for me because I am technologically challenged. Also, this movie is currently on Netflix, so every single one of you should, after reading and reblogging this to get me more followers, pull up your Netflix accounts and watch this documentary. If you have a heart, you will love it. Cutest thing I've ever seen.

This documentary follows the story of a young orca whale, Luna, who loses his pod and takes refugee in the west coast of Vancouver Island. At first, the whale is a surprise to the people, but they soon welcome him with open hearts. Luna, as well as all orca whales, needs socialization, just like a human, and because he couldn’t socialize with others of his species, he decided to socialize with people.

Most people took the opportunity to play with the little whale that visited their boats and harbors, given this once in a lifetime occasion. Soon enough Luna became a part of the community. But not all people welcomed the stray whale, and soon official reprimands came into place forbidding any socialization with the lonely whale.

The first 45 minutes of this movie is filled with cute videos and accounts of people’s experiences with Luna. I spent the entire time giggling on the sofa and pointing at the screen shouting things like, “Look at him! Oh my God! I want him! I want to play with the orca!”. Soon enough, the documentary turns political, as they all do. But this is one of those documentaries that is pretty unclear about which side they want you to take. The documentary wants you to explain to the viewers what is best for little Luna, but making this decision is the controversy one small town faced.

On one hand, Luna could get easily hurt or killed by a boat or person if he stays near people and continues to socialize and play with them. But, and this is my opinion on the matter, the approach taken of ignoring Luna and refusing to socialize him didn’t keep him safe and was detestable and unnecessary.

The people of the island thought that if they stopped all socialization with Luna, he wouldn’t bother the people and he would stray away and find other orcas. In fact, he craved attention and social connection so badly that he never stopped approaching people, boats, and even planes. What I believe is that it was cruel to stop entertaining Luna, just as it is a merciless punishment to put people in solitary confinement. It is known that orcas require socialization as much as humans, and psychological damage can be done if it is not attained. And when they stopped spending time with Luna, he never left, but he did put himself in greater danger trying to reach out to anyone he could, even those that would cause him harm.

This movie is extremely informative about orca whales and gives insight into the way that government will go about solving a problem. In the case of Luna, it was having a plan to capture him and put him in captivity, the cruelest of punishments for an orca.

This movie will infuriate you, tickle you, and inspire you as it did the people of Vancouver, and hopefully you’ll learn something about these magical, calm creatures that share many human qualities.
