New York, I Love You: A Jigsaw Puzzle That Doesn't Quite Fit
As a city with so much personality and penchant for possibility, it's no surprise that the follow-up to Paris, Je t'aime heads to New York. New York, I Love You is a tale of the connections and personal missteps that occur every single day in the city that never sleeps. It plays out like a movie version of a song mash-up: some story lines are linear and independent of the rest while other characters wander in and out of each other's lives.

The Hottest State: Unoriginal, But Not Too Bad
I should admit that I assumed The Hottest State, a movie based on Ethan Hawke's first semi-autobiographical novel, would be pretentious. Thus, keeping that in mind, I found the movie to be better than expected. I daresay I almost enjoyed it.
Movie Preview: The Hottest State

What to Netflix: Valentine's Day Edition, Newfound Love
The theme for today's Valentine's Day Playlist is "newfound love," which got me thinking about movies that truly capture that mushy, fluttery feeling of brand-new love. In my opinion, no movie addresses this theme better than Before Sunrise.
Ethan Hawke plays Jesse, an American backpacker traveling in Europe.
