You must think I've been living under the rock. It was only last night that I got to see 500 Days of Summer and I fell in love with it. The scenes are artistic and the interiors in this film just took my breath away.
Arbitrage is a suspense thriller directed by Nicholas Jarecki, about a billionaire and hedge fund tycoon, Robert Miller played by Richard Gere who tries to sell a large portion of his firm to cover crooked accounting, as a result of bad deals. The movie is narrated through Robert Miller's point of view as he struggles with a shaky merger relying heavily on the reputation of his family run business with implications on his wife, Ellen (Susan Sarandon) and daughter, Brooke (Brit Marling) as his chief financial officer. Miller's sheer confidence, calm and collected persona conceals the desperation underneath, as he arrogantly gains control over unforeseen events that would explode into a catastrophic loss of everything he has extremely worked hard to build. The story challenges one's moral grounds and how love, loyalty and family are outweighed by one's priorities.
"You know, the smallest thing can change a life. In the blink of an eye, something happens by chance - and when you least expect it - since we're on a course that you could have never planned, into a future you never imagined. Where will it take you? That's the journey of our lives: our search for the light. But sometimes, finding the light means you must past through the deepest darkness. At least, that's how it was for me." - The Lucky One
A film released in April of this year based on the book of Nicholas Sparks. Logan (Zac Efron), a U.S. marine finds a photograph of a young woman with ''keep safe'' written behind it during his third tour of duty in Iraq. Since then keeping the photo in his pocket, he had been saved from near death encounters a couple of times, crediting it with his good luck. When he comes back home, He couldn't get her out of his mind . He sets out to find her. The search leads him to the doorstep of a divorced young woman with a son and an unexpected job in a kennel.
You might have probably read the book or have seen the movie already. I was struck by the passage above during the first scene. I thoroughly liked the whole premise behind change and how events unfold for a specific purpose.
I will be leaving tonight to the land of wine and cheese. I may be on and off in the blogosphere for a while. I will visit your blogs whenever I can and if given the opportunity, will do blog posts from there.
Have a great Thursday!
XOXO,

A romantic comedy about a road less traveled. I just finished watching this film. An illegal taxi cab driver in New York, Thom is hired by a heartbroken woman named Claire to drive all the way to California, in order to see her estranged father who had suffered a heart attack.
The scenery and images you will see in this film are breathtaking. Watch it for yourself. Quirky and snappy dialogue with a good soundtrack.
Sometimes, when we least expect it, love and adventure find us.
Happy Wednesday!
XOXO,
Arni
