Movie Review of 50/50

As I live alone and don't have cable right now I am living for the twice weekly Netflix DVDs that show up at my house. I have become just a little obsessed about what movie is coming next and trying to plan for whatever mood may or may not strike me at the moment. So a few weeks ago I moved the Seth Rogan and Joseph Gordon-Levitt movie 50/50 to the top of the queue. I will admit that I was somewhat aprehensive about the movie after my cervical cancer adventure, however the movie was listed as a comedy so I gave it a go.

Lily and I laid on the couch by the christmas tree and popped the DVD into the computer... I so need to get a TV for the living room but one thing at a time right. As we watched the movie there were definite funny moments but I found myself being very glad that I did not have all of these adventures. I was not ready for this to hit me in such a way... I could definitely relate to the main characters struggles with being normal when your life is falling apart. I am not sure that I was the best patient but in the end we all have to face our mortality. I will always be eternally grateful that cervical cancer is relatively easy to cure... cut it out and move on. I do know that should it ever come back there will be consequences that I am not quite ready to face but then again I don't have to face them right now.

I would definitely recommend this movie to everyone, it was a wonderful story. I won't tell you about the ending but it was GOOD. Also I would like to tell Joseph Gordon-Levitt, if you are looking for a date to something I am totally it... we would be a great match... maybe.



Also I would like to take this moment to share my condolences for the city of Newtown, I know that you are feeling a great hurt in this moment and I know my heart is broken for your loss. I wish that we could somehow take this pain away but know that the Lord is ready and willing to carry you through this time. I will be praying for you and your families... may the Lord hold you in his arms when you need it most.
