So Sunday I took a little me time away from school work and went to a movie with my sister and brother. I decided to rock my new Carlo’s Bakery t-shirt and beanie hat that I got from his An evening with the boss tour. I figure perfect movie outfit. very comfy.

There was a Johnny Depp movie out so of course we had to go see that. I completely love Johnny Depp. I go see every movie he comes out with. I cannot believe took me this long to go see it; the movie has been out a WEEK! I am currently working on my collection of his movies, I even own the 21 Jump street Series. I am missing about 10 of his movies so I am almost there.

About the Movie But any way today is about his new movie The Rum Diary. I will try and not reveal to much for those who haven’t seen it. This movie is based on the novel of the same name by legendary author Hunter S. Thompson. It starts Johnny Depp, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Rispoli, Giovanni Ribisi and Amber Heard. So basically Johnny Depp plays a journalist, Paul who grows tired of New York and America so he decides to travel San Juan Puerto Rico (my favorite place btw) and works for The San Juan Star, a failing newspaper in the 1950′s .As soon as he arrives he befriends Rispoli’s character Bob and gets involved with shady expatriates one of which is named Sanderson, Eckhart’s character.He is a struggling novelist trying to find his voice in his writing while at the same time struggles with the expatriates from America who are living there and destroying the island and its people. His character has habit of drinking way to much rum (hence the title) and becomes obsessed with a woman Chenault; Heard’s character. The movie chronicles the humorous situations Depp finds himself in while drinking way to much rum.

I absolutely loved the movie. Now like I said I love Johnny Depp so I am biased but i really did enjoy it. I am a fan of Hunter S. Thompson’s work so I knew I would enjoy this. I have read reviews that many find the movie is fun but lacks focus and is a lot of rambling. I could see how some might think that. I think people who say that miss the point of the movie. It is supposed to lack focus. You are supposed to feel as you are thrown into this drunken adventure and are taking this ride with them. Also the drinking is not the focus of the film so for those who could not get passed it then they completely missed the point. The main point was the decline in the American Dream and what people are willing to do to try and get it. Its about politics, greed and the bad side of human nature. All in all this movie is a lot of fun to watch, it had me laughing many times and is destined to become a cult film classic. If you like Hunter S. Thompson then I recommend seeing it. In my opinion it is one of the better films I’ve seen this year.

Then I cam home and finished my day off with a lovely Happy Herbivore Pumpkin Pie Smoothie. Delicious Pumpkin Pie Smoothie topped with nutmeg and cinnamon

Ending with this picture because I love it.
