Book v Film: The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

“I know these will all be stories someday. And our pictures will become old photographs. We’ll all become somebody’s mom or dad. But right now these moments are not stories. This is happening, I am here and I am looking at her. And she is so beautiful. I can see it. This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story. You are alive, and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you’re listening to that song and that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment, I swear, we are infinite.”

New ‘This is 40’ Poster Defies Personal Boundaries

(Written for Lost In The Multiplex)

Judd Apatow’s ‘sort of’ sequel to Knocked Up, This Is 40, has a new funny poster this week.

With Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) reprising their roles from the original film to take the leads, the film picks up with the family a few years later when Pete’s music label is struggling and Debbie’s vanity business, a dress shop staffed by Desi (Megan Fox) and Jodi (Charlyne Yi), needs to cover the household budget.

The new poster, which can be seen below, shows how comfortable, not necessarily in a good way, the couple have become with their lives after years of marriage. I can’t wait to see more of the on-screen couple, it certainly looks promising.
