Safe Haven Blu-ray Review

Sunday, May 12th, 2013

I have to say that Nicholas Sparks is a very important person in our house.  My wife is an avid reader of his books and, when available, there is an autographed copy of his latest under the Christmas tree each year.  That being said, I haven’t seen many of the films made from those books, [...]

Julianne Hough, Josh Duhamel and Cobie Smulders appear in new images from Safe Haven

Wednesday, November 28th, 2012

Another Nicholas Sparks adaptation is upon us and just in time for Valentine’s Day. The upcoming film SAFE HAVEN is based on the novel and follows a young woman named Katie (Julianne Hough) who is trying to flee from her past and finds herself in Southport, North Carolina. While in NC she meets a widow [...]

Julianne Hough is running from something in the new Safe Haven trailer

Wednesday, October 24th, 2012

Another Nicholas Sparks adapted tear-jerker is coming to theaters this February, and this time Julianne Hough is the distressed female lead who must take comfort in the arms of her co-star Josh Duhamel. The first trailer for SAFE HAVEN has been released, and if these kinds of romantic dramas are your cup of tea then [...]

Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel fall for each other in new photos from Safe Haven

Monday, October 22nd, 2012

A new romantic thriller in the vein of THE NOTEBOOK and DEAR JOHN from author Nicholas Sparks,  is coming out and it stars Julianne Hough (ROCK OF AGES) and Josh Duhamel (LIFE AS WE KNOW IT). This film, entitled SAFE HAVEN,  has a very predictable story about a young woman (Julianne Hough) who moves to [...]

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen Blu-ray Review

Friday, July 20th, 2012

Every once in a while a movie just flat out surprises you. It may be one that you heard about in passing, or something that you just checked out because of the star… With the number of films released each year growing, you would hope that the chance to find these gems would increase. Sadly, [...]

Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel set to star in the Nicholas Sparks adaptation Safe Haven

Wednesday, May 30th, 2012

It’s rare that I would write a story about Julianne Hough and not take some shots at her overall lack of appeal, but she outsmarted me on this one.  She decided to star in movie that features an even more bland co-star and an even more disappointing director.  What happened to Lasse Hallstrom?  I loved [...]

The Cider House Rules (Blu-ray)

Monday, October 24th, 2011

THE CIDER HOUSE RULES is a beautifully shot coming of age story about an orphan boy growing into a man and experiencing life beyond the protected walls of the orphanage for the first time in his life.  Dr. Wilbur Larch (Michael Caine) runs a somewhat…unique…hospital that caters to both women who want to deliver their [...]

Chocolat (Blu-ray)

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

A woman and her six-year old daughter wander into a small and absolutely adorable French village to open a chocolatria – an amazing little shop that specializes in making the most beautiful and delicious chocolates.  However, Vianne (Juliette Binoche) and her daughter Anouk (Victoire Thivisol) and are quickly unwelcomed as the mayor, Comte de Reynaud [...]

Rachel Weisz joins The Danish Girl with Nicole Kidman

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Way back in 2009 we reported that Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman were teaming up to star in THE DANISH GIRL, which at the time had director Thomas Alfredson (LET THE RIGHT ONE IN) attached. The film has resurfaced, but Paltrow has been replaced by Rachel Weisz (much better in this [...]

Lasse Hallström to direct Tom’s Dad with Patrick Dempsey

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Posted by: Nathan Swank TOM’S DAD, starring Patrick Dempsey, gets Lasse Hallström as a director. The film is about a famous actor and a comedy vaudevillian nightclub performer whose work and personal life is beginning to struggle during the 1960’s. One is due to the progressive changing comedy styles and the other is due to [...]

Dear John (Blu-Ray)

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

“The best romantic couple since THE NOTEBOOK” this is a terribly misrepresented quote plastered on the DEAR JOHN Blu-ray case.  It is true that Nicholas Sparks is the author of both books but it is definitely false that these characters have anywhere near the romantic depth and love compared to Noah and Allie. Special Forces [...]

Dear John with Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried coming to Blu-ray

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant The sappiness continues with yet another Nicholas Sparks’ novel hitting the big screen, this time in the form of DEAR JOHN with Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried.  As you can tell by our movie review, the film didn’t appeal to our reviewer as much as it did to many audience members, [...]

Real life couple Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis to star in My American Dream

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Apparently, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis didn’t learn anything from Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger (THE GETAWAY) or Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman (EYES WIDE SHUT) about starring in a movie with your significant other.  The duo are set to star in the Lasse Hallstrom film MY AMERICAN DREAM.  In it, [...]

Dear John

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Nicholas Sparks’ novels adapted for the screen make for good romantic fare with no shortage of tear-jerking situations, the jerkiest of which being 2004’s THE NOTEBOOK. His latest, directed by Lasse Hallstrom, is DEAR JOHN with Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried playing the young lovers attempting to overcome the obstacles of the plot. Obstacles in [...]
