Day 26 & 27: White Birds In a World & Liberal Arts

Over the last 2 days I have walked 264 minutes and 14.7 miles. My weight went back up to 300 so I am a little determined to get it back down.  Although my eating has still not gone down to where it should be.

During the 2 days I watched three very different movies.  It started with White Bird in a Blizzard with Young Adult fiction queen Shailene Woodley.  While her performance was good, the movie was full of people that were just unlikable.  The movie is a mystery of sorts and has a nice little twist but it wasn't very enjoyable to watch.  It is hard to watch movies where there are no likable people.  Some movies and some TV shows can get away with this, White Bird was not one.

The second movie was In a World with the imeasurably likable Lake Bell.  And if you want more than that, the movie has Nick Offerman, Demetri Martin and Tig Notaro.  I will watch pretty much anything with those three names attached.  Demetri actually does a pretty good job in the movie.

The third movie was Liberal Arts with two amazingly likable people Josh Radnor (Ted from How I met Your Mother) and Elizabeth Olson.  The music in this movie alone makes it worthwhile.  From the obscure indie music to the classical tracks this movie had me wishing that I had some quality headphones instead of the cheap white apple things I had in my ears.  Not to get to spoilery but there is a series of scenes with a classical backing track that is just amazing in this movie.  I was planning on walking for an hour tonight, but I had to up that to finish this movie.  It was really great.

Whie Bird gets 150 out of 300.
In a World gets 250 out of 299.
Liberal Arts gets 260 out of 299.
