A few days ago I had the chance to watch Mona Lisa Smile. First off, let me say I was surprised at the number of celebrities in this movie. To name a few, (all the ones I know) Maggie Gyllenhaal, Julia Roberts, Julia Stiles, Kirstin Dunst, Topher Grace and Ginnifer Goodwin (who can be seen in ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’)  First off, I’d like to say that I throughly enjoyed this movie. Set back in the days of the 50′s I think, Julia Roberts plays a teacher at…a university I cannot recall the name of. Anyway, the mindset at this institution is that a woman’s role in life is to become a wife. Roberts’ character has a much different view of things compared to these women and her teaching methods display this.

My main reason for this entry, is the surprising similarities I saw between this and Gossip Girl. The girls who attend this university are quite snobby and extremely stuck up. The main similarities I saw were between Kirstin Dunst’s character and Blair Waldorf. She feels that she is in control of the class and is able to boss around the teacher and tell her ‘how things are done around here’ This is an identical incident that occurs with Blair and Ms. Carr. My other similarity is between the mothers in the movie and Cici? or Sisi…Serena’s grandmother. They feel that they know what is best for their daughters and that everything in their lives is essentially laid out for them by the older women.

Not much else, definitely a good movie, didn’t know many movies with J. Roberts until now and I quite enjoy them. Also, I didn’t realize how attractive Maggie Gyllenhaal is, especially in Stranger Than Fiction. (Minus the recent paparazzi shots of her breastfeeding in public, kinda not my thing)

Weather’s look nice. Rain coming tomorrow.

My recent obsession with Gossip Girl has led to my interest in Ed Westwick/Chuck Bass‘ fashion sense as well as Leighton Meester‘s singing ability.

To make sure she was more than a one-song girl, this video seals the deal.

I am thoroughly impressed.

PS. She plays a wicked Blair Waldorf.
