last kiss

i was cleaning up my hard drive the other day, and i came across this zach braff movie entitled 'last kiss'. the last time i watched it was a year and a half ago, and i was about to delete it since i'm in dire need of space (need to rip my latest cd purchases for my i-photo). but before proceeding, i decided to watch it one last time.

i'm surprised that i still had fun watching it considering it was my third time. i admit that it's not as critically acclaimed as garden state but it is still noteworthy of a buzz. what i really like about it is that the film poses a lot of questions for people who are nearing 30. there are so many issues that are going through our minds, one of which is relationships. we see our friends getting married or having kids and you start to ask yourself questions such as: "should i be getting married too?; should I wait until I am ready and no longer tempted but what if I never feel ready?; if life is short, should I not grab hold of what is in front of me?; could I forgive myself or my significant other if he/she cheated on me?; am I prepared for children and the commitment involved?". these are just some of the questions that troubling our already troubled minds. i know that there are a lot of movies that touch on the subject, but none does so with realism like 'the last kiss'.

also, the soundtrack rocks...
