Plot: Basically this woman Elizabeth gets involved sexually with a man she just met. Yeah...

Thoughts: So this was based on a book... so basically this was a premise for 50 shades, cuz this was practically the same things. Never read a book, not I intent to, cuz it's just plain dull. Poor woman just gets sucked into this relationship (can I even call it like that??), it's totally female-shaming. Do this do that, put on a blindfold, take of your clothes, crawl. I mean... that is just disgusting. Also, fun fact - there is a sequel, called "Another nine 1/2 weeks" and this time Rourke's character has a last name - John Gray. Rings a bell??  

Actors: Hmmm... Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke. She was just as black as Dakota Johnson in 50 Shades Of Grey. Honestly. Mickey had this creepy smile on his face like the whole movie! They had zero chemistry together. And he looked like young Bruce Willis, 

What I liked: Umm.. I liked Kim hairstyle here. Really looked nice... 

What I didn't like: Um. Like that fact that he used her like a toy. Like a pet. Bought her stuff. Like super expensive scarf. And call me suspicious, but I know for a fact that you can never give watches as gift for someone. Never. It means, that "I am counting our time together". And eventually the time will run  out. Needless to say they broke up. 

IMDB rating - 5.9, but man... This is probably the first movie on this blog that I hated so much. Don't watch it. 

Plot: Sutter Keely lives for a moment. He does not think of future, college or family or whatever. He's vitty, charming, well-meaning guy. He meet Aimee after one black out drunk episode, quickly befriends her, eventually she becomes something more. 

Thoughts: Ok, at first I thoughts it's going to be another heartwarming love story, but it was actually very real and down to earth story about, you know, everyday flawed people. Too depressing at time, if you ask me, but very... human. It deals heavily with Sutter's character being an alcoholic, constantly drinking, slowly turning Aimee to an alcoholic as well. I felt really bad for her, for being so naive and trustfull, like, girl, he's sooo wrong for you. 

Actors: I've read somewhere, that actors like Shailene Woodley just sort of comes out of nowhere and we are sort of pushed to like them?? I do't know.. I don't find her or even Miles Teller that special. She's cute and sweet and all, but I think it is a very odd choice to make Miles a love interest. I was happy to see the beautiful Mary Elizabeth Winstead. 

What I liked: The unexpected tone, that the story was told, like they totally fooled me, by presenting this story as happy and care free. I mean loo at that poster! Doesn't it look nice? 

I loved the ambiguous ending, it really could end in every possible way, so that's nice. It can end happily, if you want to.

I loved that the movie proposed some great philosophical thoughts about "living now". Is it really a good thing? Really great coming of age movie. Really captures the teenagers nowadays. 

What I didn't like: At parts this movie was really sad and dark, and I don't think I can justify or even explain the actions that some characters did. Some plot points were kind of shaky (that car accident really took me unguarded). So yeah, not that much bad things, huh? 

IMDB was very generous this time - 7.2! I'd say I agree, it's like a 7 for me as well.
