Stop and Hear the Music!: August Rush (2007)

     Upon seeing my post for The Art of Getting By, my friend suggested that I watch August Rush which also featured Freddie Highmore in it. And I’m glad she did! All throughout the movie, I was tense to see if it will resolve in a happy ending. Did it? Well, you have to see to find out. Stop and hear the music!

My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002)

The Greek Wedding

  

   I’m still making the most of my break right now and I got insight on the loud and colorful culture of Greece as I watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The plot is set in Chicago: Toula Portakalos (Nia Vardalos), a 30-year old Greek woman who feels like the disappointment of her family because she find anyone Greek to marry. She meets Ian Miller (John Corbett), who is not Greek. This poses as a problem since according to tradition Greeks only marry Greeks and have Greek babies. My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a romance-comedy that can teach you a lot about family and the Greek etymology of words.
