Love Is in the Air (and the Movies!)

So, I moved into a new apartment this morning and found out…it is quite possibly the only one in this century not cable ready!

Of course, the joke is on me for not asking if it was, and now I know for the immediate future, until I actually am wired, I will be going to the movies a lot…good thing the Tribeca Film Festival is upon us!

I feel like a look at the movies being shown is a great indicator of where the universe is on the subject of love. Some examples of the summaries of movie options at your fingertips:

TIMER: It’s a brave new world where a  bio-technological implant called the TiMER counts down to the exact time people meet their soul mates.Love-starved Oona (Emma Caulfield, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is pushing 30, and she’s falling for a guy (John Patrick Amedori, Gossip Girl) who is set to meet his true love in four months. Basically, this movie asks the burning question… would you want to know? I wouldn’t!

The Exploding Girl: Ivy is back home in Brooklyn for spring break with her longtime platonic guy pal Al in tow. As her relationship with her boyfriend slowly disintegrates via cell phone, Al’s friendship is cast in a new light.

Stay Cool: Henry returns home to give the commencement speech at his high school. But even after almost 20 years, it’s as if he never left – he again wants the girl, gets suspended by the principal, and is grounded by his parents.

The Girlfriend Experience:Five days in the life of a $2,000-an-hour Manhattan call girl (adult film star Sasha Grey) who thinks she has her life totally under control. She even has a devoted boyfriend who accepts her lifestyle!

Serious Moonlight: Meg Ryan arrives at her country nest for a little R and R only to discover that her husband has been cheating on her with the hotter and younger Sarah.

My Last Five Girlfriends: A fun romantic comedy explores with delicious wit and whimsy just how modern urban relationships go wrong. Surveying the wreckage of his last five relationships, thirtysomething Duncan (Brendan Patricks) concludes that love is a battleground where only the fittest survive.

Woah: Life IS just like the movies. At the risk of sounding totally cliche…see any good movies lately? Or, more importantly, any that reflect you own crazy dating life?
