first epic post.

Jakob has big ambitions and I don't think I could watch anywhere near as many movies as hes planning. I am pretty sure I can match him in the book catagory though so I am going to start out with 150 movies/30 books. So I guess I will start off with a movie I watched again last night. So here goes...

Pumpkin(2002)Anthony Abrams and Anthony Larson Broder

Perky, perfect Carolyn(Ricci) and her Alpha Omega Pi sisters plan to win Sorority of the Year by impressing the Greek Council with a killer charity: coaching mentally challenged athletes for the regional Challenged Games. When Carolyn's assigned to coach Pumpkin she's terrified at first, but soon sees in him something she's never seen before: a gentle humanity and honest clarity that touches her soul. To the horror of her friends and Pumpkin's overprotective mother, Carolyn falls in love, becoming an outcast in the process. As Carolyn's "perfect life" falls apart, Pumpkin teaches her that perfect isn't always perfect after all.

4/5
I hadn't seen this movie in a long while, and quickly remembered it's one of Christina Ricci's best movies. I really like how the directors were very detailed in this movie making sure everything looked absolutely perfect. A very interesting love story I think. I am very glad I watched IFC last night.
