Adventureland.

I'm a very big fan of this movie. It's beautifully choreographed, it's sweet, sentimental, the main character could almost be my clone, and the performances are awesome.

Carnivals are some of the best places to photograph ever because you have multiple light sources and so much to do with wide angle lenses to achieve the movie soft lighting effect with blurred out lights.

With James and Em, you feel this performance. Kristen Stewart is a good actress given the right role, and this is her right role, among one of many should she choose wisely in the future.

Heady nuances in the movment of her hands, a distinctly jewish aspect to various elemnts of her character. Jesse eisenberg mixes it up too as someone who is simultaneously very intellectual and nerdy but comfortable in his own skin, a degree of jockish cocky bravado in his physical perforamnce. James is smart, but he's nowhere near as unrelastically cartoonishly awkward as is Michael Cera's usual demeanor which at this point has become almost unbearable to watch. Think of Michael Cera's character, except done well.

This is a movie about people who kow their lots in life, who act like adults and individuals who make decisions based on their personalities and not genre conventions or anything else. The performances by Eisenberg and Stewart in particular are so absorbing they might as well be a stylized documentary. Stewart's lines falter at times, but a compelling performance makes this as good as any movie ofits ilk can ever be.

It shares the spirits and hopes and dreams and demeanor of its main character, soft, sweet, intelligently crafted, and fableistic, but only in the best way possible.

This is the cheap and tawdry world of our memory, but how we rememeber it, how it was beautiful to us.

So yes, I'll have no shame in pulling up this movie to watch James and Em falling in love time and time over again. It might be wish fulfillment, but. I don't feel like i need to make an apology for that.
