<br />
i like most flicks that <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1706767/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">jonah hill</span></a><span style="color: lime;"> </span>has been in (superbad, knocked up, and moneyball), but i'm not so sure about this remake of one of my fave ya tv shows. <br />
<br />
what made jumpstreet so good (yes, totally shallow reasons) was the hotties: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092312/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">depp,greico,</span></a><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span>you get it. <br />
<br />
i can't even go as far as to say that hill is the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0217938/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">deluise</span></a> of the show, because even peter was a cutie. and is it terrible to say, i almost prefer jonah when he's on the heavy side? now, don't get me wrong, girls... <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1475594/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #93c47d;">tatum's</span></a> a hottie, but i 'm more excited about his abs than his acting chops. <br />
<span style="color: #93c47d;"></span><br />
likely will wait until this one hits redbox. sorry fellas.angela robbinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07114119913653244467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666242984870815045.post-77784147178870119482012-01-20T09:07:00.000-08:002012-01-23T10:13:10.983-08:00easy aso you know i have uber-love for john hughes... <br />
i also adore emma stone. simple conclusion: i looooove <a href="http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/easya/" target="_blank">easy a</a>.<br />
<br />
i know this isn't a new film and it's been on dvd for-evs. but that's too bad, cuz i just love this dang flick. i have it on my dvr and watch it repeatedly. (like just this weekend). funny thing...my step-son almost launched WW III, because he deleted it from the dvr the first time i recorded it. (don't worry, we signed a peace treaty when i found it on dish and recorded it again; a declaration of, 'thou shall not mess with my easy a' was unmistakably understood this go around.)<br />
<br />
it never gets old. this is the kind of script or book that i would die to write. it pays wonderful homage to all the john hughes teen flicks, which enamored me when i was an impressionable young chick and that i worship still today.<br />
<br />
emma stone is so adorably sardonic and easy on the eyes. her comedic timing is spot on. and i gotta love me some woodchuck/lobster todd--<a href="http://pennbadgleyweb.com/" target="_blank">penn badgley</a>--right girls? i was totally screaming at violet, 'uh--hello!--lobster todd is so into you; wake up,girl!'<br />
<br />
this movie definitely gets an easy a from me. and who wouldn't have killed to have totally hip, awesome parents like stanley tucci and partricia clarkson.angela robbinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07114119913653244467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666242984870815045.post-13258417296584434002012-01-19T15:05:00.001-08:002012-01-19T15:05:37.379-08:00let me hear ya holla!i may have some exciting news to broadcast in the very near future, if i am allowed.<br />

with the holidays, performance planning at work, the hubby starting a new business, and all the stuff with the kids school, etc... i'm just a mom more than a writer right now, so please forgive me...angela robbinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07114119913653244467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666242984870815045.post-15945985820253033082010-12-30T11:26:00.000-08:002010-12-30T11:26:05.026-08:00gimme gimme a man after midnight...can't wait until jan 2011 for more damon!!!!!<br />
also, i hope that new vamp chick who's been his friend with benefits dies, because i don't like her. i want more delena tension and less stefelena kissy kissy love love. not that i mind the stefelena, i mean stefan is so hot, but damon is so much hotter. though i suppose if i got what i wanted, i wouldn't be interested in it anymore. the tension is probably better than the real thing, huh?angela robbinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07114119913653244467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666242984870815045.post-54886309330969704912010-12-30T11:07:00.000-08:002010-12-30T11:09:13.084-08:00teddy went that way?i so thought the guy who plays <em><a href="http://insidetv.ew.com/2010/08/20/90210-teddy-gay-trevor-donovan/">teddy on 90210</a> </em>was so totally adorable, but obviously 30something. i was able to suspend my disbelief on his real age to appreciate that bod, and then he went a way i so totally didn't expect, which just goes to prove: all the good ones are either married, taken, or in his case gay. waaaaah!angela robbinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07114119913653244467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666242984870815045.post-82713514760928122772010-12-30T11:04:00.001-08:002010-12-30T11:04:18.559-08:00why nothing's been done in centuries...haven't written a darn thing in a month or so. <br />
but was excited to beta read <em>saw it coming</em> by becky wallace, a ya mystery romance that was a fun read. so totally love sam and his sexy 'intuition.'<br />
also was excited to have becky beta my <em>beast, </em>which she brought up the beloved things i figured she would but have been too miserable to change.<br />
can't wait to beta some more of g's things, if he gets the fingers flowing again.<br />
