TWILIGHT


SYNOPSIS:
Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a bit different, never caring about or fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother Renee (Sarah Clarke) remarries and decides to move with her new husband to Florida, and Bella decides to go live with her father, Charlie (Billy Burke), in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Intelligent and witty, his piercing eyes see straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than any cheetah, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Most importantly, he's a vampire. Like all vampires, he's immortal. He doesn't drink human blood (they're vampire "vegetarians"), which is rare among the vampire population. Instead, they go on regular "hiking" trips, where they feed on prey such as grizzly bears and mountain lions. For Edward, Bella is the thing he has waited ninety years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. And what will they do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi), and Victoria (Rachel Lefevre) come into town and James sets his sights on Bella? Will true love prevail when Edward is forced to save her life and conquer his thirst? The true question is, When you can live forever, what do you live for?
MY VIEW: OH WOW!! I'm hooked on Twilight Series. I loved the books and I loved this movie. It was so well done!! Directed to the youth, but loved by big girls too. I liked that the movie was morally clean however it kept my intest with just enough romance and seductiveness. I say Yes to this one! Also the guy who plays Edward (Rob Pattinson) was born on my birthday, May 13th! (well he was born in 1986) He is a very good pianist and wrote a song and played it on the piano in the movie.

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.
