If my life was a movie, this would be my soundtrack...

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE???

Here's how to play the game...

1. Open your music library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For the first "life moment," type the song that is playing
5. When you go to a new "life moment," press the next button TWICE


Opening Credits: "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani

First Day at School: "White Christmas" sung by Bing Crosby (this reminds me of all those harsh winters waiting for the school bus or the 10 minute walk from the parking lot behind the football field....)

Falling in Love: "Let's Get Ready to Rumble!!!!!!!"

Losing Virginity: "This is All Very New to Me" sung by Elaine Stritch (this is the perfect match!)

Fight Song: "Say Liza" (aka "Liza with a Z!")

Breaking Up: "You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two" from Oliver!

Flashback: "Children of the Revolution" by U2 (from Moulin Rouge)

Getting Back Together: "Bend and Snap" from Legally Blonde: The Musical

Wedding: "I'm So Ronery" from Team America: World Police (I guess this means I'll never see gay marriage in my lifetime...)

Birth of Child: "You Are the Music In Me" (the Sharpay version) from High School Musical 2

Final Battle: "There Will Come a Day" by Melinda Doolittle (another perfect pairing...)

Death Scene: "Santa Clause is Comin' to Town" sung by Frank Sinatra (this makes me smile...)

Funeral Song: "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" from Annie

Ghost Town

Ok, I love Ricky Gervais, but for some reason, the trailer made this movie look soooooo cheesy, but it was adorable! Teo Leoni is also a personal favorite of mine, as well as Greg Kennear. So I don't know how I thought this was going to be a bad film, lol.

But I particularly loved the message attached to this piece. Of course, Ricky Gervais' character gets roped into helping the dead (or ghosts, in this case) with their unfinished business. And let me tell you, I bawled. I had a best friend who committed suicide during my senior year of college about 3 years back, and I can only wish he would send me some sort of sign to explain as to why he did it. Part of me also wishes I could be like Ricky Gervais in this film and help those in reality cope with death and the loss of their loved ones. I feel that when my friend died, he taught me that death is just another part of life, and this film sort of hit that same feeling for me... :)

Also, big shout out to Kristen Wiig! I LOVE THAT WOMAN!!!! :)

I give this movie only HALF a REDBULL

(meaning I would only need half a Redbull to watch it all over again, lol)

Congrats to putting together a great film, cast and crew of Ghost Town! You truly touched home for me... :)
