Adam

Yesterday I watched Adam with Hugh Dancy and Rose Byrne. It's a bitter-sweet little movie that I'd been wanting to see for a while now and did not disappoint. I really liked it. I suppose it doesn't hurt that I love Hugh Dancy. I wish he'd get more roles! I got to meet him once at a Jane Austen Book Club promotional screening in West Hollywood a while back. He's a very thin man, not terribly tall if I remember correctly but really good looking!
 I did that horrible, star struck thing where I shook his hand and smiled stupidly coming up with absolutely nothing to say and then proceeded to stare at him as he talked to people all around the room. And I do mean stare- while still smiling, no less. I am surprised (and relieved) he didn't have me kicked out! But I digress...What I also loved about this movie was the music.

I am hypersensitive when it comes to music. I am always aware of it no matter where I am. I will stand in a store longer than necessary just to finish listening to a song I like. Movies are especially bad because I'll stop paying attention to the dialogue in a scene if I hear a song I like or know. I also get super excited in movie theaters when I hear a song I love being played in a trailer. It's kind of sad, I know. Anyway, I've found quite a few new artists through movies and soundtracks so I don't see an end to this anytime soon.

Anyway, there were three songs in particular I loved in this movie: Someone Else's Life by Joshua Radin, When You Find Me, also by Radin and Can't Go Back Now by The Weepies, which I'm posting a video of. Beautiful songs, all of them!
