You can get an eternal love in “Celeste and Jesse Forever”

Celeste (Jones) and Jesse (Samberg) met in high school, married young and are growing apart.  Now thirty, they decide to get divorced and attempt to stay best friends while pursuing other relationships.  This plan is not as simple as they had imagined.

Celeste—imperious, successful and driven– is convinced that divorcing the boyish Jesse is the right thing to do.   Jesse passively accepts this transition into friendship, even though he still is in love with her. As the reality of their separation sets in, Celeste slowly and painfully realizes she has been cavalier about their relationship. But her timing with Jesse is less than fortuitous.

The film is a humorous and honest examination of a broken heart and the long, hard road it takes to heal it. When the film gets weaker, it’s because it has moved away from the funny-because-it’s-true aesthetic toward one that’s more broad and contrived: Celeste falling out of a garbage can she was snooping in just as Jesse arrives; a series of bad first dates that become exaggeratedly awful. Even though the storyline grows conventional, these two’s inherent sweetness gives the movie its heart – even if their characters may not end up together.

Finally, this movie is a reliable commercial genre and a decent supporting cast, and the main character faults herself for presuming she’s more intelligent than others, and so does the entire production. However, relationships are in that way, lots of laughs, and lots of heart.

The neighborhood watch volunteer who killed Trayvon Martin can be released from jail on $1 million bond while he awaits trial on a second-degree murder charge, a judge ruled Thursday. That is more typical of his 2nd Degree Murder charge so the question is Why does GZ get the kid gloves treatment from the judicial system?

Prosecutors said a website Zimmerman created for his legal defense had raised $135,000 at the time of his first bond hearing. Zimmerman and his wife did not mention the money then, and Shellie Zimmerman even said the couple had limited resources because she was a student and he wasn’t working.

When a person is caught cheating, is it possible to bury the hatchet? It is possible if both parties are willing to analyze the causes. However, we can never forget infidelity because our brain is incomparable to CPU in the computer as we do not have the “delete” button in our brain. Can infidelity be avoided? What about financial issues when there is crisis in your marriage? According to the American Psychological Association, 83 percent of women are stressed about money, compared with 78 percent of men. For Tiger Woods this lesson was difficult to learn it and after he, ranked fourth in the world, has won three of his past seven starts, most recently this past July 1^st at the AT&T National.

Why marriage is so hard especially with some celebrities?

Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise are a clear example of some differences in many aspects

It is hard because it represents an unwanted/unexpected change. And change for many is scary. In any marriage one becomes secure and complacent with the other. The two of you get to know each other’s life so well you become one united together in the eyes of God. You become too comfortable in knowing the other will always be there and there for you. You figure this is supposed to be this way for life. Then out of the blue, things become too comfortable, taken for granted, and the marriage is too predictable and stale so one wants out and disrupts the whole family picture. In Cruise’s marriage, both were often affectionate with each other in public. After five years of marriage, one of Hollywood’s most celebrated couples, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, are calling it quits. Some fans said that Katie is protecting her daughter but some others said that scientology (Tom’s Religion). For some couples tend to lose focus on the bad things like divorce and death, and is why time heal especially when there are two other kids – did they suffer anything being raised by Tom? Hopefully both find someone worthy to comfort each other and their kids don’t suffer, Holmes had initiated divorced proceedings in New York and the question is what would happen if Suri, 6 who is the best interest of both, how can they solve this personal issue without affecting her?

Martin lives in Paris with Claire, although the passion has gone out of their relationship.  When he learns of the death of his mother, Martin returns to his home town in California to take care of the legal formalities.  Shortly after his arrival, he meets up with Linda, an old family friend who takes him to his mother’s apartment in an area he got to know well when he was living with her.  Immediately, he experiences a resurgence of childhood memories.  The ensuing emotional crisis drives him to Tijuana, where he hopes to find Lola, a young Mexican woman he once knew and who occupied an important part in his mother’s life.   He finds her at the Americano, a nightclub where she dances every evening.

Martin brings a heart touching when he receives news that his mother has died in the United States despite of he hasn’t felt a connection to his mother in years many  memories and how he might be able to recreate his mother and the impression comes back again.

All the main actors were: Mathieu Demy, Salma Hayek, Geraldine Chaplin and more. The plot is somewhat predictable, but is deeply moving drama especially in some interesting aspects and many subjects are involved in this movie such as prostitution, emotional journeys, sadness, robbery, death, depression and so on. Hayek’s role is another stripper character with no changes to her previous roles. Martin’s shows a deep voyage between past and present (something that anyone’s can suffer in anytime of life).
