Movie Review- Love Happens

Right off I have to say that this movie was advertised wrong. When you look at the poster you think it's a typical romantic comedy, even though it has funny parts, it is not a romantic comedy. In fact the love story was the weakest part of the movie and it's the part that was advertised. The movie is about a man named Burke Ryan (Aaron Eckhart) and he loses his wife in a car accident. After his tramatic event he writes a book about getting over the loss of your loved one. (Even though he himself has not gotten over his loss) Meanwhile he falls in love with Eloise Chandler (Jennifer Aniston) she is a florist with her own flower shop. In the end Burke reveals a large part of his story that he never shared with anyone. I felt that the ending to this movie was very powerful and moving. Aaron Eckhart did a incredible job with that ending scene, I almost had tears in my eyes. I think what they meant by the title was even though death and sorrow is all around you love still happens and that it comes when you least expect it. Overall this movie was touching and it really made you feel for the main character. And to speak in technical terms, the cinematography was beautiful. It was filmmed in Seattle and shows off the skyline in one particular scene. It had cute parts, funny parts, sad parts and touching parts so it caters to different people, but it is not really a "guy" movie.

Doubt Vs. Julie and Julia

I have seen both Doubt and Julie and Julia. They both use the incredible pair of the legend Meryl Streep and the lovely Amy Adams, but which one do you like better? Do like the two as fear-less cooks or nuns? I personally liked both movies and thought the acting was superb either way. Tell me what you think.

Movie Review- Julie and Julia

Ok, so I have to admit that I created this blog after watching Julie and Julia. I thought the film was a feel-good movie. It was one you would watch during a girl's night out. I thought that both Meryl Streep and Amy Adams did a wonderful job with their characters. While watching this film I felt that Meryl Streep WAS Julia Child. She did such a good job of acting just like the real Julia Child. I hope that she wins an oscar for her performance because her acting was spot-on. Amy Adam's character was lovable, fun and heartfelt. She is a cubicle worker by day and cook by night. I loved how in the beginning she had this feeling of insignificance, like she was doing nothing with her life, and then in the end people realized her true potential. Even her own mother said she could never finish anything she starts. So anyway what Amy Adam's character(Julie Powell) decided to do was cook her way through the Julia Child cook book. She had one year (365 days) to complete 524 recipes. I don't want to reveal too much though because it is worth seeing. Just seeing Meryl Streep's performance alone is a memorable experience. My favorite scene was when Julie had to boil lobsters and when she tried to put them all in the pot the lobsters knocked the lid off the pot trying to get out. All around it was a wonderful movie that left you happy but a little hungry because of all the cooking. I recommend this movie and give it a thumbs up. :)
