It's no secret that I have a weakness for rom-coms, so it should come as no surprise that I liked Valentine's Day a little more than I should have. A film so sugary sweet that you're bound to get a toothache before the credits roll. A film that the New York Post called "less funny or romantic than your average colonoscopy" and a "cringe-inducing bore".
It's full of beautiful people, highly unlikely situations and a nauseatingly cute kid whose way too mature for his age- one of my pet peeves. That being said, there were also a few surprises that I didn't see coming. This is one of those films where I was completely entertained despite it having zero staying power (I will have forgotten this film by next week).
I guess it's appropriate that its called Valentine's Day because similar to those little candy hearts it's a temporary sugar treat that's essentially unfulfilling empty calories. Indulge in moderation or else it could be bad for you.

First Impression Music Review
Suzanna Vega - Close Up Vol 1, Love Songs B-
On this Barnes & Nobles exclusive CD, Suzanne Vega dips into her extensive catalog and shares an intimate acoustic collection of love songs. The highlights here include: "Marlene on the Wall", "(I'll Never Be) Your Maggie May", "If You Were In My Movie" and the undeniably beautiful "Bound" from 2007's Beauty & Crime album. An album that I was terribly disappointed in but probably should give another chance.
