Cinematic Acheivement

Go see Little Miss Sunshine. Right. Now.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, and at the ending especially- you'll laugh until you cry.

Seriously, I know the movies are ridiculously expensive, but it will be worth every cent of your $9.50.

“Chick lit’s formula numbs our senses. Literature, by contrast, grants us access to countless new cultures, places, and inner lives. Where chick lit reduces the complexity of the human experience, literature increases our awareness of other perspectives and paths. Literature employs carefully crafted language to expand our reality, instead of beating us over the head with clichés that promote a narrow worldview. Chick lit shuts down our consciousness. Literature expands our imaginations.”
