In honor of Valentine's Day (a day late, we know), Mocha and Latte have compiled a list of some of our favorite movie scenes and love songs we think have stood the test of time.
Billy Shakespeare would approve.
See the list and videos under the cut!

So No One Told You Life Was Gonna Be This Way?
Do you routinely watch the following video and think "Yes, these lyrics ARE MY LIFE"?
Well, maybe you should think about that a little more before bemoaning the state of your existence--behold three cultural zeitgeists of our era that tell it like it is:
What It's Like To Be A Twentysomething, As Told By “Mean Girls,” “Bridesmaids,” And “Girls”
Don't tell us it doesn't resonate. Because if you think it doesn't, you don't even go here.

'Skyfall' is now out on DVD!
To celebrate the release of the most successful Bond film of all time, here is the long awaited Honest Trailer from Screen Junkies:
We're just excited to get Daniel Craig's fine ass that beautiful cinematography in HD.

The Soundtrack to 'Warm Bodies' Makes Us All Warm and Fuzzy
We just went to see the clever, funny, and incredibly charming 'Warm Bodies' this weekend (review forthcoming), but a post about the soundtrack just couldn't wait. Throughout the film we just kept turning to each other with variations on "this soundtrack is kind of AMAZING."
Even though some of the tracks seem like the contents of any self-respecting (or is that self-disrespecting?) hipster's iPod-- Bon Iver, M83, Feist, The National-- the difference lies in that it all feels amazingly genuine. (And yes, even with the use of Dylan and Springsteen, which is quite the feat.) This isn't as painfully self-aware as the 'Garden State' soundtrack, for example, but seems to have more of a Sofia Coppola kind of thoughtful sincerity to it (Also, sorry. Our biases are showing.)
An official soundtrack for "Warm Bodies" hasn't been released, but The Playlist has helpfully compiled all the songs in one place for your listening pleasure right here.
Bottom line? The music enhances the film, and the film enhances the music. A pretty great blend, if you ask us.

How is This Even a Question?
We love Celebitchy. It's hard hitting journalism at its best, asking the difficult questions other established news forums shy away from. Ok, just kidding. It's a brilliant celebrity gossip website that's fun to peruse in your downtime.
One of Celebitchy's recent queries involved the "tapability", or "tap quotient", of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who recently starred in 'Mama' and plays the most decidedly messed up Jaime Lannister on HBO's 'Game of Thrones'. He was even Paul Bettany's BFF in 'Wimbledon'-- for realsies.
All we can say to Celebitchy's query is... you're kidding, right? (I mean, a good portion of our own review of 'Mama' was about how hot he is.) The answer is most definitely in the affirmative.
David Beckham is a Flawless Human Being
This applies to all aspects of the word.
1. Flawless Sportsman: His last game for the LA Galaxy ended with a second consecutive MLS Cup win for the club.
2. Flawless Philanthropist: He's now with Paris St-Germain for 5 months. And he's donating his entire salary to a children's charity.
4. Flawless Physical Specimen: He just made a new commercial with Guy Richie for his bodywear line at H&M. We don't care if he had a "butt double" or not. JUST WATCH THIS:
Our conclusion?
LITERALLY FLAWLESS.

Best of 'The Walking Dead' Memes
The second half of the third season of "The Walking Dead" begins tomorrow, amid news showrunner Glen Mazzara is getting the hell out of Dodge and ditching the series due to "creative differences" with producer Robert Kirkman (ugh). This isn't the first time a showrunner's left the show--series creator Frank Darabont left after the first season. His exit was soon followed by actors James DeMunn (Dale) and Jon Bernthal (RIP Team Shane!). While TWD has never shied away from killing off main characters, the constant drama behind the scenes has led to wildly inconsistent seasons, with some major highs (the first half of season three) and some big lows (the first half of season two).
What has been consistent are the amazing memes generated after each episode. Fans of TWD are passionate and not afraid to call out some of its questionable choices, such as the apparent unwritten rule that there can only be one major black male character at a time, and the writing/casting of Carl. These memes sum up the best and worst of the TWD. In honor of its imminent return to your Sunday nights, we present our Top 10:
1. The Evolution of Sheriff Rick
3. Sounds about right.
5. It's all in the details.
