If you've never watched this movie before, you're missing out. Not only are the main three actresses great (Emma Roberts, JoJo Levesque, and Sara Paxton), but this movie is full of laugh-out-loud moments and great lines. Like:

Hailey: We begin where every girl starts with her first crush - we call him.
Aquamarine: Call him? What? What?. No, I can't. What am I supposed to say to him?
Hailey: Nothing. We just call and hang up. We do it all the time.
Aquamarine: Why?
Hailey: I don't know. It's just what you do.

and

Claire: [about why they can't get Ray's attention] Well, all these articles say we've been way too available. We need to be more coy.
Hailey: We are so coy, he barely knows we exist.

Ha ha. Yep, they're coy, all right. Poor dears.

Oh, and did I mention Weezer's Island in the Sun is also on here? (I mean... WEEZER! AND... MERMAIDS!)

As always, I have to share the trailer, so here it is:


I mean... are you excited? I am so excited!!!!

Waiting on Wednesday -- Deep Blue

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine.  

  This week's can't-wait-to-read pre-publication book is Deep Blue. 

Deep Blue

by Jennifer Donnelly
Publication date: May 6th, 2014

From Goodreads:

The first in a series of four epic tales set in the depths of the ocean, where six mermaids seek to protect and save their hidden world.

Deep in the ocean, in a world not so different from our own, live the merpeople. Their communities are spread throughout the oceans, seas, and freshwaters all over the globe.

When Serafina, a mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea, awakens on the morning of her betrothal, her biggest worry should be winning the love of handsome Prince Mahdi. And yet Sera finds herself haunted by strange dreams that foretell the return of an ancient evil. Her dark premonitions are confirmed when an assassin's arrow poisons Sera's mother. Now, Serafina must embark on a quest to find the assassin's master and prevent a war between the Mer nations. Led only by her shadowy dreams, Sera searches for five other mermaid heroines who are scattered across the six seas. Together, they will form an unbreakable bond of sisterhood and uncover a conspiracy that threatens their world's very existence.
