Day 7: 10 Things I Hate About You
Directed By: Gil Junger
Starring: Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, Larisa Oleynik, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Released: 1999
Genre: Teen Comedy
I have a confession: I didn't watch this movie on Netflix, as was my promise for all the movies I review this Mayterm. I watched it with my best friend Gretchen, in her room, in a comfy chair. I know, I know, I'm a cheater.
BUT: I'm invoking a very sneaky rule here to justify my actions: The Joseph Gordon-Levitt exception.

As you can see, there's a spike in Levitt's career in 2009--he acted in 6 movies that year. It's safe to say that's when his popularity came to its current level...10 years after 10 Things I Hate About You. Coincidence? I think not.
So, by watching this Levitt movie off-Netflix and pledging to watch another online, my conscience is clear.
With that out of the way...
