How to lose a guy in 10 days
 |
Matthew McConaughey is playing: Benjamin "Ben" Berry.
It was released in 2003. It is based on a short cartoon book of the same name by Michelle Alexander and Jeannie Long.When the logo “Paramount” is shown is some music over it which is very unusual, but here it tells us that it’s a comedy or at least not a horror movie because of the happy pop music. In the beginning when the titles are coming its coming through a mix of magazines we don’t know yet that those magazines are important, but we kinda get the feeling that they are.
The first one we see is Andie: she is blond, but she is different from the stereotypes of a blond girl. She works at a fashion magazine as a journalist where she is writing about fashion, make up, what guys like in a women etc. but she would rather like to write about politics, the environment etc.
The titles fade out/ slash in; the surnames are bigger than the first name. In both entries of the characters are there songs playing. When we see Andie the first time is a very girly pop song playing at the same time. We kinda get the feeling of that she has a very bubbly personality just because of the song. When we see Ben the first time is he wearing a leather jacket, riding a motorbike and the music is this time more pop rock, which gives us the impression that he is a little bad boy or a bachelor. He’s the kinda guy their flirts his way out of everything. Every thing is in New York city.
So under 5 minutes have two songs already been playing.
Andie finds herself writing an article called "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days". Andie tells her boss that, to write more freely and creatively, she will date a man and do all the wrong things women tend to do in relationships, and record her experiences for the article. At the same time, avertising executive Ben tells his boss that he can make any woman fall in love with him in just ten days. To prove it, he will find a woman and bring her to the upcoming company ball as his date. If he succeeds, he gets to be in charge of the advertising for the new diamond company account otherwise headed by his boss.

Just like heaven
Mark Ruffalo is playing: David Abbott.
Just like heaven is Distributed by "DreamWorks". It was released in 2005. It is based on the novel "If only it were true" by Marc Levy.
The titles are drifting/flowing in, it’s very bright colours and a famous girly pop song is playing as the introduction music to the film. After the logo for DreamWorks is the camera flowing down like it came from heaven into a garden full with flowers in the colours pink, red, yellow and orange. In the garden is there a woman, Elizabeth, she is surrounded by the flowers with close eyes, which give us the feeling like she is dreaming.
The first titles name we see is Reese Witherspoon which tells us that she is more important than the male actor (Mark Ruffalo) or more famous than him. When Elizabeth finally wakes up from her dream she’s at a hospital, because she is a doctor (opposite as what the blond stereotypes are). She kinda become an inspiration for people not only in the film but for everyone because she is intelligent and has a good job.
We quickly find out that she is not in a relationship, have no friends, no family (children or a husband) the only thing she does have is work. Her sister is the exact opposite of Elizabeth she have two kids, married, have a house and is cooking for her family dinner. The sister is also looking out for Elizabeth and found her a date, while they are talking together over the phone is Elizabeth in a car accident. (This just tells us not to talk in the phone while driving a car).
Three months later, David, a landscape architect recovering from the death of his wife, moves into Elizabeth's old apartment. Elizabeth begins to appear to David at the apartment. However with ghostly properties and abilities it is clear something is not normal: She can suddenly appear and disappear, move through walls, and once takes over his actions. When they meet, they are both surprised, as Elizabeth is not aware yet of her condition. For the most part, David is the only one who can see Elizabeth, leading others to believe that he is hallucinating and talking to himself. It is later revealed that one of Elizabeth's young nieces can also sense her presence although she cannot see her.
The movie is in San Francisco.
