I saw the movie Ten Years last week, for the sole reason that I have a girl crush on Kate Mara. It also stars Channing Tatum, Chris Pratt, Justin Long, and Rosario Dawson, so what the hell, seems like it won’t hurt. It was an okay movie about high school reunions – less crazy than Romy and Michele‘s but it makes you think about how things will seem at your own ten-year high school reunion. Mine doesn’t happen til 2015 but it does make me wonder how nerve wrecking that would be – trying to impress people you’ve tried to impress before with what you’ve done with your life so far.
10 Years had two tracks in its soundtrack that I fell in love with. My first love was Passion Pit’s cover of Smashing Pumpkins’ “Tonight Tonight” but as the days went on I had Oscar Isaac’s “Never Had” on loop. It works on the standard formula of guys with their guitars singing a song about a girl. It always works.
Well it at least worked for Oscar’s character on the movie:
