Vicky Christina Barcelona is a romance drama movie written and directed by Woody Allen in 2008; this is perhaps the best Woody Allen film after Manhattan.
The first entertaining thing about this movie is the soundtrack which transports us directly in Barcelona at the same time the main characters, Vicky and Cristina, arrive to the airport, and which gives the tone of the movie from the beginning.
After Match Point, Woody Allen comes back to an atmosphere more representative of his former work and which recalls his first movies: between legerity and seriousness, he decorticates human relationships and feelings such as love, jealousy, friendship.
This movie is an amazing tribute to Barcelona. We make the trip with the two characters : we discover Barcelona through their eyes, first by discovering the most beautiful places and the particular architecture of the city, then by adopting the “Bohemian” way of life there (Spanish cooking and wine, guitar music, sculpture, paint, photography).
Art occupies a fundamental place in this movie: all the characters appreciate art or are themselves artists. This wonderful tribute to art is accentuated by warm colors such as red, yellow, green, which are predominant in the film frames.
Twilight
I have to admit, as an adult woman, I read the entire "Twilight" series. I am not obsessed by it -- but it was a fun, escapist read, even though I still have some reservations about the obsessive nature of love as depicted in these books.
"New Moon" was better, production-wise, than "Twilight" (I know, damned by faint praise.) But does Kristin Stewart have more than two expressions? She alternates between a vacant stare that is meant to denote intensity, and a stare with a tiny frown between her eyes that denotes distress. She speaks in a monotone and slouches around when she's not curled up in a fetal position, leaving one to

wonder -- what exactly does Edward see in this girl, anyway? And Robert Pattinson -- He reminds me of "The Look" that Ben Stiller "perfected" in "Zoolander" -- i.e., a dozen looks, and they all look precisely alike. He can, at least, scowl nicely -- and as a result, tends to overuse it. Basically, though -- he can't act. This is a man who is meant to be burning with passion, and the only thing I can focus on is "what god-awful shade of lipstick did they put on that boy?" The rest of the Cullens got short shrift in this movie, with only token appearances. Jacob's transformations were never fully explained in the movie -- unless you have read the book, you have NO idea what in the heck he's talking about, much less why. I have to wonder how often he practiced whipping off his shirt to help Bella when she hits her head - it was pretty practiced, and obviously self-conscious, as if he could just hear the squeals of the teenagers in the theatre as he did it. But at least Taylor Lautner was allowed to show a certain engaging charm. Dakota Fanning as Jane looked good in amber contacts, but her role was extremely brief, and basically consisted of staring and marching around in odd Mary Jane-style shoes. Michael Sheen was rather intriguing as Aro, and actually came closest to my mental image of the characters.
Towards the end of the movie, the editing got pretty sloppy. The transitions were abrupt and, again, if you hadn't read the book, you'd be wondering where in the hell the yellow Porsche came from. The transition from Italy to Forks was possibly the most abrupt, and failed to re-establish the connection between Bella and Edward.
The book has enough faults of its own in character development -- I guess it's too much to hope that a movie would be able to correct those faults.
Two completely opposite bussiness owners fall in love through internet chatting.
The movie "You've Got Mail" is not only a witty, heartwarming peice but also one of great character and morals. Meg Ryan portrays a somewhat insecure but very headstrong bookstore owner; she gives the movie a sweet, easy-going effect. While Ryan exhumes the "Girl Next Door" quality her co-star Tome Hanks makes the diction comical and keeps the plot rolling. Overall, the story is endearing and cheerful. I believe even those who avoid romantic comedies show rent "You've Got Mail" because the aspect of love in not overbearing, and so the joyful plot could be enjoyed by all.
A young man falls in love with the new girl in his office only to discover that she's not exactly what he's been hoping for.
500 days of Summer is a beautifully optimistic and well thought out romantic comedy, something that doesn't often occur in a genre which is plagued by cheesy confessions of undying love and unrealistic relationships. It involves two main characters Tom, a disgruntled greetings card writer who somehow got lost trying to become an architect and the beautiful Summer, full of life and a view to always chase her dreams. Tom falls in love with her while Summer - well she doesn't fall in love with him.
The twist in this romantic comedy is acted out superbly by the talented cast who portray perfectly the pitfalls which occur in all relationships, only reversing the gender order. Joseph Gordon Levitt (Tom) gives a stunning performance as a man smitten with a girl who shows him the good side of life, something his pessimistic character appears to have forgotten and as the man crushed by said girl.
One technique employed in the film to great effect is the flashbacks to the 500 days of their relationship. The tone changes with each of these portrayals which are not always given in numerical order, however the impressive soundtrack and acting performances given make this film entertaining and hilarious - filled with jokes about sex, relationships and how to get over somebody who broke your heart.
Optimistic, offbeat and hilariously true to life, 500 days of summer is definitely worth the money and brings about hope that no matter how much you think that person might have been for you, there is always somebody else around the corner.

After being separated for seven years after a summer of romance, Noah and Allie are reunited and Allie must choose between her new fiance and her first love.
It’s the year 1940 in Seabrook Island, South Carolina, and the local country boy, Noah Calhoun, is clinging to a bar at the top of the Ferris wheel at a local carnival. His intentions? To gain the affections of seventeen year-old heiress Allie Hamilton, whom he has just met. Noah speaks to Allie as he dangles at an alarming distance from the safe ground, and in her desperation, she agrees to go on a date with him. Despite her promise, Allie proves to be stubborn, and Noah’s continued efforts result in rejection. One magical night, however, Allie’s stubbornness inevitably fades.
The Notebook received several awards following its release in 2004, including the MTV Movie Award and the Golden Satellite Award. Its total box office earnings were over $115 million worldwide. The film, which is directed by Nick Cassavetes, is based on the best-selling novel by Nicholas Sparks, whose timeless love stories warm the hearts of teenagers and adults alike.
The story is being told by the aged Noah, who is reading from a notebook to a sufferer of Alzheimer’s disease in a present-day nursing home. As he reads, the viewers are taken back in time and experience Noah and Allie’s heart wrenching tale from the lovers’ perspective. Their love appears at first to be flawless and indestructible, but trouble soon intervenes with their otherwise perfect summer. Allie’s parents disapprove of Noah because of his low income and social status, and eventually insist that Allie not see him anymore. When Allie returns to her hometown at the end of the summer, Noah is left desperate and alone. Allie is heartbroken when she receives no letters from Noah, and believes that he has moved on.
Seven years later, Allie becomes engaged to a handsome young soldier named Lon, whom her parents enthusiastically approve of. As her excessively publicized wedding day approaches, she decides to return to Seabrook to “take care of some things,” and visits Noah for the first time since they were separated against their will. She finds more than a casual friendship with Noah, and now she must make the decision: will she be faithful to her fiancé, or will she be courted once again by her first love?
There were several elements that made this film so successful, including its powerful characters and well-drawn plot. Each actor and actress stayed true to their character, embodying them to the fullest extent. They made the film believable, and they carried the emotions of each situation down to the last line effortlessly. Their movement and dialogue were both perfectly maneuvered together to create awe-inspired responses.
After observing the outstanding performance presented by this cast and crew, viewers will be forced to think about the choices they make, and whether or not to follow their heart. The Notebook is essentially about Allie and Noah creating a destiny for themselves, but it moreover narrates the human story of what we long for, what we settle for, and who we're meant for.
a love story with a twist of rodeo
You get a “wow” and amazement as you watch the breath-taking scenes in the movie “Love Me Again (land down under)” starred by the country’s sexiest actress Angel Locsin and hottest actor Piolo Pascual. The story follows the quest for love by Migo (Piolo Pascual) and Arah (Angel Locsin).
After working in Manila, Migo finally found his heart at the pastures and highlands of Bukidnon. Aside from reclaiming the family’s ranch in there, which was lost after his father’s death, Migo also plan to win back his first love and sweetheart, Arah, a beautiful and a fearless rodeo queen of Bukidnon.
Migo and Arah were getting fond with each other when Arah’s father got a cardiac illness.
During those times, an Australian rancher came to the town and looked for skilled cowboys to work in his ranch in Australia. Coming from a poor family, Arah decided to go for the job and left for Australia even when this also meant leaving Migo behind.
The two became even more separated as Migo, saddened by Arah’s departure became engrossed with building up the ranch again which was near to bankruptcy. Working so hard in Australia, the Australian rancher got attracted to Arah and offered her engagement.
Now, will the two ever meet again? Will love truly conquer all?
Directed by Rory Quintos, the on-screen chemistry between Angel Locsin and Piolo Pascual was impressive and intense. The film’s actors also did a great job in portraying the lifestyle of a cowboy and the culture of rodeo. The actors captured well how cowboys and cowgirls showcase their skills in cattle tipping and bronco riding. They acted as if they were professionals enough to join the rodeo. It showed a unique romantic side of love.
Just as good as the actors were those working behind the scenes. The cinematography was incredible. The way the green rolling hills of Bukidnon was captured was totally awesome. Anyone who’s watching the movie would feel that he is also on top of the hill. There were also clear shots of the huge and thriving mountains of the settings. It’s like really bringing the mountains right in front of you.
This story is great for anyone who wants a unique love story away from the conventional city life to wildlife. It’s a definitely must see for romantics and nature lovers.
