Remember Me

Remember Me is a movie that doesn't have a genre. It has romance, but it's not a romance movie, it's gritty, but not an action movie. There isn't a "good guy" or a "bad guy". It's a real life kind of story with real life kind of characters. Flawed people that are trying to figure out how to live when life has handed them lemons.

Tyler Hawkins is a twenty-two year old college student that is a little lost in his life. He deals with the loss of his older brother, a father who doesn't spend much time with his family, and trying to figure out what he really wants in his life.

I won't give much away because there is a lot to this story and I don't want to spoil it for anyone wanting to see the movie. But I will say that the acting is phenomenal! Robert Pattinson (Twilight), Emilie de Ravin (Lost), Pierce Brosnan, and Chris Cooper, along with many others that are well chosen for their parts. Every actor was completely believable as their character and really made the movie seem real.

I will say that this movie is not a movie you will be on the fence about. You will either love it or hate it. It's a movie that is a roller coaster of emotion. You will laugh and you will cry. But it will make you think, and I personally love stories that make me really think. In my opinion I would give this movie an -A. But like I said you will have to decide for yourself.

Valentine's Day Movie

Valentine's Day is the celebrity packed flick that you have probably seen advertised. I was a bit hesitant to see this one, simply because I was afraid it would have a poor story line and a lot of crude jokes. But I went anyway with the thought that I may leave early.

Yet I was pleasantly surprised. Several of the storylines were quite sweet and actually left me dabbing my eyes. I developed a little crush on Ashton Kutcher and was of coarse delighted by Jennifer Garner. Anne Hathaway's storyline was a little questionable, and could have been left out in my opinion. But several of the other storylines were also kind of sweet. Taylor squared were definatley your typical high school couple and brought out the "cheese factor" that is so commonly found in high school. But over all I would say it was a fun movie to go see if you just want a little bit of lite humor and little depth.

Dear John Movie

So for all you Nicholas Sparks fans out there here is a new movie to add to your collection. Dear John is based off the novel and it's about John Tyree who is in the army. During his two weeks on leave he meets Savannah Curtis a college student on her spring break. The two fall in love and decide to keep in touch through letters once he goes back to his station in Germany. But after the 9/11 attacks he decides to re-up. The time spent apart takes it's toll on their relationship. Also part of this lovely story is the relationship between John and his autistic father who has a love of coin collecting.

For fans of the book expect a little bit of dissapointment as the movie changed on some major details in the book. But don't let that stop you from going to see this movie. Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried are a stunning couple and have very sweet chemistry. However the relationship between Tatum's character and Richard Jensen's character who plays John's father is even better.

You probably won't cry the way you did in the Notebook, but don't forget tissues, because this story will not leave you dry eyed either.
