Taking the rest of the afternoon work off, I relaxed and treated my SELF to 2 seemingly girl flicks currently out in movie houses. Here's what I got to say to the two best-selling novels-turned-movies "He's Just Not That Into You" and "Confessions of A Shopaholic".
He's Just Not That Into You showcases a set of intertwined stories of girls who love and fail in it (because, well obviously the guys they like are not into them.
Starring a handful of great actors: Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Connelly, Bradley Cooper, Scarlett Johansson, Kevin Connolly, Ginnifer Goodwin and Justin Long, they make up the perfect characters to portray 4 highlighted situations:
1) ...If he's not calling you
2) ...If he's not marrying you (I just had to get so teary-eyed in this story!)
3) ...If he's sleeping with someone else
4) ...If he's breaking up with you
...It all means H'e-s-NOT-interested! Either stalk the guy, learn from it or move on. Those are some of the true-to-life lessons the movie gives and truly gives a lot of interesting insights and tips (or signs as you could call it) on how to understand the opposite sex better.
Although this movie might seem to be a girl flick to some, I find it gender neutral to watch because guys would get to see from a girl's perspective the things the guys do (and do not) that eventually hurts US girls, and hopefully they would also lessen (if not stay away from) their so-called "male-ego".
"He's not that into You" is a movie for the singles, those in a long relationship, or you could watch alone (even if you're not single or not) and clear your head on some of the questions we've been so eager to get answered!

Movie Rating: 9/10
Based on the novel by Sophie Kinsella, Confessions of A Shopaholic is the story about Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) who is a shopaholic for expensive clothing lines but barely makes enough money out of her crappy job to pay for her (12?) credit card debts.
Hoping to work for a famous fashion magazine in Manhattan called Alette, she ends up instead on a financial magazine called Successful Saving with the irony of writing about thriftiness or saving up and naming her column under "The Girl with the Green Scarf" (as debt collectors are already hunting her).
As her column gets attention and praises, it becomes hard for the shopaholic to keep on pretending she'd rather save up for a rainy day than buy designer clothes. She tried cutting back (without trying to sell her expensive clothes) but more disaster happens!
'Confessions of A Shopaholic' is a comedy with an unlikely love story that is a 100% girl flick and warning to never get too many credit cards. (Or you could just tell yourself to "buy only the things you need" before the mannequins start to come alive and tempt you of that new cashmere top only to realize it's only %95 polyester! :p)
