This Year In Movies: July

In July I did pretty good, not like I did before I had a job but better than most of the rest of this year and I think it's due to the fact I'm working on some I Dare You Challenges! I watched 12 movies and 1 tv show on dvd.

The IT Crowd Season 2- It was as hilarious as the first season, I already bought it and am looking forward to Season 3!

Two Lovers
- Definitely interesting. I was hoping for a somewhat shocking ending, not sure why, and sadly it didn't have one. I liked it though!

The Reader- Yeah this was as awesome as people say it is. I loved it and I'm pretty sure I teared up a few times! Loved it!

Brokedown Palace- This was pretty much exactly what I thought it would be like. Interesting but I wanted more from the ending and actually hounded a few people on twitter for some insight! I watched this for Rebecca's I Dare You Challenge!

The Ramen Girl- I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. This isn't the kind of movie you'd expect to see Brittany Murphy in and I liked that. The ending was definitely something you would expect to see her in though. I want to go eat some Ramen now! I watched this for Rebecca's I Dare You Challenge!

Hera Pheri- This was uh ok. I guess it was supposed to be a comedy but it was kind of sad at some points and I like more of the female-centric bollywood plotlines. So it's one of my least favorite of this genre. :/ Sorry Mitali! I watched this for Mitali's I Dare You Challenge!

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince- I can't believe how much I had forgotten from the book! I was still questioning who the Half Blood Prince was til the end! Ahh! It was definitely good and I loved seeing more of the romantic aspects of the books come to life!

Jaane Tu Ya Janne Na
- Ok this is much more my type of Bollywood. I've seen more of the classically set stories so I'm excited to be watching these modern day stories. This was a great one and I definitely squeeeed a few times!

Before Sunrise- Reminded me a lot of Waking Life (same director) but less awesome stuff to look at during the discussions. I liked it fine but I liked it a bit more after seeing Before Sunset. I watched this for Tiff's I Dare You Challenge!

Before Sunset- I liked this one a bit more than the first movie, I think because the characters had already met and had that foundation. I watched this for Tiff's I Dare You Challenge!

500 Days of Summer
- If you haven't heard me rave about this enough check back Sunday for a review! And I'm totally listening to the soundtrack while typing this!

The Women (original)- I liked this more than I thought I would! I liked having seen the remake already it kind of made it easier to follow for me and more exciting to see what was different and what was still the same when they remade it. I watched this for Sharon's I Dare You Challenge!

Jab We Met- Another good Bollywood from Mitali! This was a lot of fun too and I'm glad there were a few more dance numbers even though it was a contemporary Bollywood! Cute! I watched this for Mitali's I Dare You Challenge!

One of My Many Quirks or Why TV on DVD makes me giddy!

So ever since tv shows have been released on dvd, every summer I get insanely excited when all the tv shows start popping up in dvd form for pre-order on Amazon. There is something about seeing the image and design that they pick for the dvd, to represent a whole tv show and a whole season that gets me really excited. I also love to see how they change from season to season, what remains the same, what changes. The same could be said for the advertising campaigns for Fall Primetime and tv show season premieres in general! I really can't explain this weird obsession so it probably makes no sense...

This is totally my inner design nerd coming out once again. And what's weird is, yeah it's exciting for tv shows I love (shown below) but also for tv shows I don't even really care for, or ones I've never heard of. I just loooove seeing what they decide to do with the covers. So just a few days ago I was poking around on Amazon and found a whole bunch of these new tv on dvd covers for seasons releasing in the Fall. Oh boy did I go NUTS! Squealing and clapping, yes I'm that easily pleased. So I thought I would share what I am currently in love with and will eventually buy when these all go into my chosen price range of under $25! And these are only the ones I plan to buy so far and a few of them I haven't even seen but I just know they are going to be good!!

Gossip Girl Season 2 (August 18th)
I missed most of the season, was busy watching TBBT and HIMYM, but I really liked the first season so this I will buy!

Flight of the Concords Season 2 (August 4th)
The first season was hilarious, so there is no reason this one shouldn't be either!

The Big Bang Theory Season 2 (September 15th)
If you aren't watching The Big Bang Theory I'm not sure if we can be friends! :P

Pushing Daisies Season 2 (July 21st)
I'm so so angry this got cancelled, SO ANGRY!

Ugly Betty Season 3 (September 22nd)
This reminds me, I still need to see the last few episodes of this season!

The IT Crowd Season 3 (September 15th)
The first two seasons had me in tears from laughing so much!

Mad Men Season 2
This is already out but I'm listing it anyways!

90210 Season 1 (August 11th)
I want to make a bet right now, next year they won't be in a pool, but what will they be doing?

I could go on and on but you get the idea! I'm nuts!
