NIGHTS IN RODANTHE

MY VIEW: OH MY GOODNESS!!! I say YES to this movie!!

Go see it!! it was very well done, not to mention it was at the beach...one of my favorite places to be!! Richard Gere and Diane Lane were perfectly casted and acted outstandingly!!

Great cinematography...The beach is the place to go for healing in the body and the mind. These two were both there doing just that and ended up healing each other.

Makes you want to go stay at the Inn!

However Richard Gere will not be there, and the Inn really does not exist on the beach, as the person I went to movies with lived there and said there is no such place. This movie gets an A+ from me!!

SYNOPSIS:

In "Nights in Rodanthe," Oscar nominee Diane Lane stars as Adrienne Willis, a woman with her life in chaos, who retreats to the tiny coastal town of Rodanthe, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, to tend to a friend's inn for the weekend. Here she hopes to find the tranquility she so desperately needs to rethink the conflicts surrounding her -- a wayward husband who has asked to come home, and a teenaged daughter who resents her every decision. Almost as soon as Adrienne gets to Rodanthe, a major storm is forecast and a guest named Dr. Paul Flanner (Richard Gere) arrives. The only guest at the inn, Flanner is not on a weekend escape but rather is there to face his own crisis of conscience. Now, with the storm closing in, the two turn to each other for comfort and, in one magical weekend, set in motion a life-changing romance that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives.

MY VIEW:

OKAY....so here's what I thought of the movie...

Yes it was a dark comedy, that was pretty funny in alot of places. I thought Brad Pitt was the funniest and was excellent...and he along with George Clooney Frances McDormand, and Tilda Swinton all did a fantastic job of acting...as usual. I didn't care to much for John Malkovich's character. They felt it neccessary for him to constantly use the "F" word through out the movie...I hated it...not funny!! I also was dumbfounded at the way the movie ended. The ending made me sorry for even seeing the movie at all. Very stupid ending...again....not even funny!! There was absolutely no closer to the movie, it was like someone turning off the TV right before the movie ended and your upset because you didn't get to see HOW it ended...and you just sit there and go "Huh"? What was THAT all about??? Very Bad...very bad!!!

SYNOPSIS:

Osbourne Cox (John Malkovich) is a CIA analyst who quits his job at the agency after being demoted ostensibly because of his drinking problem. He then decides to write a memoir about his life in the CIA. His wife, Katie Cox (Tilda Swinton), wants to divorce Osbourne and, at the counsel of her divorce lawyer, she copies many of his personal and financial files off his computer and onto an optical disc. Katie's lover is Treasury agent Harry Pfarrer (George Clooney). The disc eventually finds its way to Hardbodies, a workout gym. An employee of the gym, Chad Feldheimer (Brad Pitt) obtains the disc from the gym's custodian and ascertains that it contains classified government information. Along with his fellow employee Linda Litzke (Frances McDormand), he intends to use the disk to blackmail Osbourne - Linda needs the money to pay for cosmetic surgery. They call up Cox in the middle of the night, but he is not receptive. When blackmailing him fails, Linda decides to take the information to the Russian embassy. At the embassy, she hands the disk over to the Russians, promising that she will give more information afterwards. Because Linda and Chad don't have any more information, they decide to break into Cox's house.
