Hugh Grant is in top form as a screenwriter who is demoted to a teaching position in a small town. It’s the kind of movie we never get any more but it’s really well executed. The Rewrite was one of my favorite movies from 2014 and everyone I have shown it to has also liked it. The chemistry between Watts and Keith is so strong. She has a personality and makes interesting choices. I particularly like Lea Thompson’s Amanda who should be the cliched judgy popular girl but she’s not. It is fairly predictable story but underneath that plot are 3 very well written and acted characters. I admit this one is a bit of a cheat as a lot of people like this movie but I feel like it is constantly overshadowed by Breakfast Club and 16 Candles and I like this better than both those films. She is stunning and they have great chemistry. It’s cheesy but I love Gabrielle Anwar and Michael Schoeffling. This is a very sugary romance from 90s about a blind girl who becomes a horse diver despite the odds. I admit there may be a bit of nostalgia in this pick. He is perfect in this role and Kate Bosworth and Josh Duhamel are great too. I will put up with so many contrivances if a romance can give me that. Is this movie loaded with contrivances? Sure but at its heart are 3 good people who I want to see happy. I love all the other performances including Aitana Sanchez-Gijonb and Giancarlo Giannini as Reeves’ pretend wife and her strict father. Directed by Alfonso Arau this movie looks gorgeous with vineyard cinematography and intimate camera work. Like Ashton Kutcher, Keanu Reeves is also not the greatest actor in the world especially when he is trying to be sincere However, there is so much else going for A Walk in the Clouds that I can deal with his performance. This is a fairly strong R rating but I like it. It’s no secret that Ashton Kutcher is not the greatest actor but I honestly think he is fine in this and Natalie Portman has never looked sexier in a film. My favorite parts are when Adam is trying to impress Emma and he makes her a period cd full of songs like Bleeding Love. I find myself laughing out loud throughout the film. This is directed by Ivan Reitman and it has his charm and engaging scripts. In 2011 two films came out that dealt with casual relationships. Most importantly Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio have fantastic chemsitry and the supporting cast including Brian Dennehy and John Leguizamo are great. ![]() The production design is great and the Shakespeare manages to feel natural. He obviously gives it is his own flair but the core story remains in tact. I enjoy Baz Luhrmann’s creative take on Shakespeare. I honestly might like this film even better than Moulin Rouge. LL Cool J plays her co-worker who is impressed with both versions of Georgia and they have terrific chemistry. ![]() This includes staying at a fancy hotel in Europe, eating good food instead of Lean Cuisine and buying the prettiest party dress. Queen Latifah is warm and lovely as a woman named Georgia who finds out she has a month to live, so she decides to start living her dreams. It’s a new channel so if you are interested we could use new subscribers! Anyway in honor of the podcast I thought I would share with you some romantic films that I enjoy, which are often hated on (hate may be too strong of a word but you get the idea).Įveryone knows I especially love a good romantic Christmas movie and Last Holiday definitely fits the bill. I even recently started a new podcast with my friend Amber where we review the Hallmark Movies which are pretty much all romances (we are having an absolute blast by the way). As a serious devotee of cinema one of the things I get a bit of clack for is my love for romantic movies- particularly romcoms.
