Cool Music Video for '(500) Days of Summer'

It's been in theaters for a couple months already, but there's still time to see (500) Days of Summer, and still plenty of reasons to. It's the best example of what we would call a romantic comedy in 2009, even though that's not really a fair description of Marc Webb's film. It's one of the six or seven best movies of the summer, and while that might not sound like tremendous praise, think of what that list includes - Up, Star Trek, Inglourious Basterds, The Hangover, The Hurt Locker, District 9 - and on its own terms, (500) Days stands up to any of them. It stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel in what I believe are their best performances yet. Perhaps that's because the relationship at the heart of the film doesn't feel phony and contrived to fit around a pre-conceived notion of what audiences expect in movies about love. To help push one of the year's best films, Webb, Deschanel, and Gordon-Levitt have put together a great musical sequence completely independent of the story in the movie. It's a bank heist, back when bank robberies were fun and splashy. It also features one of Zooey's tunes from her band She & Him, "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" So check it out. And then go see the movie in a theater near you. Incidentally, here's our review, if you missed it earlier this summer.
