I just died.

Not only is The Great Gatsby being directed by one of my favorite directors, Baz Luhrmann (he also directed Moulin Rouge) but the score will also be co-written by my favorite rapper, Jay-Z. I am officially in heaven.

This is just... Jeez, why?

Marvel Entertainment is going in a new direction with the beloved superhero, originally created by Steve Ditko and Stan Lee. Dan Slott, who's been writing the comics for about 100 issues said it was time to "shake up the mix."

Awkward: Watching a sex scene with your parents

Remember how I was talking about quality family time? I kind of want to die when a sex scene comes on while I'm sitting next to my parents, especially my dad. Something tells me they feel the same way.

No place like home

After about three months away at University in England, I'm finally home for Christmas. I feel like The Wizard of Oz's Dorothy when she wakes up back in Kansas. You're all here! And I'm never leaving home ever, ever again! 

If marriage is dead, why is everyone getting married?

Last year I attended an engagement party. I was a freshman in college and a friend of a friend was getting married. On a whirlwind trip to Barcelona, her boyfriend of four years popped the question. Keep in mind she was my age, 19 years old.

My first question was whether the bride-to-be was pregnant. 

I have a bad taste in women

I remember being starstruck in London. Twice, actually. The first time was when my dad and I went to see The Misanthrope in the West End, starring my favorite actress, Keira Knightley. I think we were in the third row. I was so in awe. Someone whose face I had seen on big screens and TVs, not to mention buses was now standing a few feet in front of me. I wondered if anyone else was fangirling as hard as I was that night.

Excuse me while I go kill myself.

This is one of many casting decisions that have frustrated me over the past year. These include Lindsay Lohan's turn as Elizabeth Taylor in Liz and Dick. However the difference between these two situations is that Lindsay can act.

Can men and women be "just friends"?

"Men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way."

This is the famous line said by Billy Crystal's titular character in When Harry Met Sally. His wry explanation always gets a lot of laughs thanks to the late screenwriter, Nora Ephron but the question remains: Can men and women have a platonic relationship?

How to Rot Your Brain

Have you ever watched a movie that's so bad that it's good? I was fortunate enough to have this experience while watching Abduction. Let's be real: It doesn't matter how many push ups this kid does, Taylor Lautner cannot act. However, try telling this to someone wearing a Team Jacob shirt.

Top 5 Underrated Movies

I'm a movie freak. I probably get this from my parents, who have bookshelves filled to the brim with movies. Most of our collection comprises of comedies (my dad is a dedicated Jim Carrey fan), action and horror (my mom's tastes range to the Japanese variety). Also like my parents, my sister can start to quote a movie and I'll finish the rest for her, and vice versa.

As someone who spends a lot of free time at Blockbuster, I can tell you there are a lot of hidden gems that more people need to see. I've compiled a list of my favorites, but feel free to write any I've missed in the comments.

Fifty Shades *update*

 CHRISTIAN GREY HAS BEEN CHOSEN. Nah, just kidding. But I have a feeling the studio might disappoint me. Because judging by the actors rumored to be in the running to play the infamous sex ninja, I might be forced to watch a pretty boy spank Ana Steele's brains out.

She doesn't even go here!

My family keeps hoping I'll lose my accent. Ever since I moved to England, my mom keeps gushing about how awesome it would be if I came home talking more like a Brit. My grandma keeps saying the same thing, too.

Who would do that?!

Crazy people. And Madonna.
