A Walk To Remember (DVD)

A Walk to Remember A typical chick-flick style film that most blokes will not agree to watching, don't read this review if you want to be suprised by it as it pretty much gives away the whole storyline! **THE PLOT** The film starts with a group of a few high school students at a lake which is private property. The group are getting another student to take an initiation test to let him join their group. The initiation is to climb up to an extreme ...
...be jumped into from such a height. Just as Landon reaches the bottom of the ladder, the sound of police sirens emerges and the rest of the group quickly jump into their cars and drive off. Landon however cannot leave the boy in the middle of the lake like that - he wades in and pulls him to the side of the lake before jumping into his car and trying to escape. Landon gets caught by the police and is given community service as a punishment (he was ...

Review of A Walk To Remember (DVD)

...every time. I am not a weepy person, i don't cry easily at films but i think even if you are the toughest person who never cry's at films, you will be emotional once you have have seen this. Its a extremely moving film and very thought provoking too it really does get you thinking about life and sends a overwhelming message in my opinion it says there is no guarantees. If you watch this and have been having one of those days, you know when you think ...
...are here on earth is a gift and it also reminds you not to take those close to you for granted because life's short and they might not always be there. .At first i had no idea what it was going to be like. I just assumed it would be another typical teen movie and was preparing to see basically the same predictable ideas repeated from previous films before. I didn't expect to be impressed by this and i certainly didn't expect to be mesmerized. The ...

Review of A Walk To Remember (DVD)

...I think it had been a year, well I can’t really remember. What am I talking about then? Well ever since I saw a trailer for the movie a walk to remember I’d wanted to see it. I’d almost purchased it on DVD but decided to wait a few more weeks to see it on the big screen. Anyway my mate (who would like to remain anonymous) we’ll call her Dorothy, had just seen it the first day it came out and she thoroughly enjoyed it and recommended ...
...ruined it for me in a matter of seconds, what is wrong with you Dorothy?! Anyway the novelty wore off so I decided to wait a while before seeing it in the cinema, but last night I finally went to see it and all I can say is “aaaww”. From the trailer it looks like a soppy, romance movie but that’s not all it is. It deals with serious issues teenagers have to deal with in life. I liked everything about it. I mean from the outside ...

Inevitably, he gets hurt when the water isn't deep enough and the police turn up. One of the group spends a few minutes trying to help the injured boy, and gets caught by the police.

For the first time we get to hear her sensational singing voice, and it is this that catches Langdon's eye. We quickly learn that Jamie is not part of the 'in crowd'; Langdon puts it that she is 'not exactly a reject, but defiantly in self exile territory'. As punishment for being the one caught, and in a bid to make him 'experience other types of ...

However as a result of a punishment after an incident involving Landon, him and Jamie are forced to spend time togeter and feelings soon change, along with their lives in a way you could never imagine. I ...
...well as being a teen film it illustrates real issues of loss and love. The actors. I thought that the actors chosen for this film were perfect. Shane West is truly the epitomy of a super cool high school guy, with his good looks and attitude. He played the part of Landon, in a way that made him real and relatable. Mandy moore was also fantastic in this film, she has a truly beautiful voice, and this is shown in the film. Her ability to bring a character ...

...has been turned more into a teen movie but this doesn't mean it is cheesy in any way, it is very mature and the book couldn't have been brought to life any better. The reason many critics were unsure of what to expect from this film is because this is Mandy Moore's firsty try at acting. After the other failures from Britney Spears and Beyonce Knowles, Mandy shows she can be brilliant at acting and singing. Mandy does not look glamorous in this film ...
...with Sean Connery. This is a different part for him even though it is a teen movie. He plays the nice guy and shows how brilliant he can be. Peter Coyote and Daryl Hannah also do a great job as being parents of both teenagers. With a great cast does the film live up to what you would expect? Yes it is a brilliant and lovely teen romance with a lot of feeling and emotion. The film doesn't start off brilliantly but there is a reason why the beginning ...

Review of A Walk To Remember (DVD)

...A Walk to Remember remains my all time favorite movie. Sure the plot holds a common thematic element to many other movies- the perfect couple who gets separated by death. Sure it is a typical cliché in many love stories: The cool guy and the nerdish girl start going out. But what, according to me really really differentiates this movie from any other movie is the pure undiluted charm and chemistry between the actors. Portrayed by Shane West and Mandy ...
...Ladnon’s detention lands him in a school play and he asks Jamie for help. My completely favorite line in the movie is when Jamie tells Landon that she will help him- IF he promises not to fall in love with her. The true irony of the story is that Landon does fall in love with her. I was particularly touched by the idea of true love changing someone for the better: Landon changed from bad boy to a compassionate, sensitive person and Jamie started ...

Review of A Walk To Remember (DVD)

...Bouncy, Mandy is actually not a bad little actress. And "A Walk to Remember", similarly, is not a bad little film. The story at first focuses on the two leads Jamie (Moore) and Landon (Shane West) and the vast differences between them. Jamie is the minister's daughter, an excellent student, and one of those "well-rounded" individuals who throws herself into extra-curricular activities. Landon is bright enough, but he's in with a "bad" crowd who ...
...After an "initiation" of a friend into their select little gang goes wrong, Landon finds himself forced to take part in all the extra-curricular activities he's strived to avoid. Tutoring, the school play . . .all things that JAMIE does voluntarily, purely because that's the type of girl she is! She makes the effort to get to know Landon but he isn't interested in grasping her extended hand of friendship. Not that Jamie lets that bother her - she's ...

A Walk t Remember 2002, Rating PG, Run Time 101 mins. As you would know if you have read any of my other film reviews, I am the queen of chick flicks! A Walk To Remember is yet another one I can now say I have seen. I have been wanting to watch it for ages but I have to say I was disappointed. This film is based on a novel by Nicolas Sparks, having already seen The Note Book and Message in Bottle two films also based on his work I had high expectations. ...

...in modern day society, in a small town. Landon Carter is the scool badboy and Jamie Sullivan a ministers daughter and all round good person. When Landon gets into trouble at school, all of his punishments seem to get him put with Jamie. Jamie has such a positive influence on Landons life and the film shows his change from a reckless boy who does not care for anyone into a brave, caring young man, breaking your heart in the process. It is a tale of ...

I am not usually a hopeless romantic, but I think that this film will get anyone walking the path. The story starts out with a group of the in crowd initiating one of the potentials by getting him to dive from a tower into a lake to prove that he is worthy to be one of them. Things go terribly wrong though as the boy is badly injured and get worse as the police start to arrive on the scene. In the attempt to get away unnoticed, Landon - Played by ...
...Although the plot isn't really a new one, I have to admit that I didn’t see what was going to happen, until I was so enamoured with Jamie that I was starting to hate the writer for the twist. I think pretty much all of the characters were well chosen, and the casting couch deserves some real credit for that. I had never seen Mandy More in any performances before this, but I can't wait for the next instalment that she has to offer. I would recommend ...

A Walk To Remember is based on the best selling novel by Nicholas Sparks. This movie will capture your heart for aslong as you can remember. Landon Carter is the typical popular school boy. He had the world at his feet.... girls, cars, money, friends and the list just goes on! He fit in with the crowd perfectly so of course he had to keep up his "image" which was to make fun out of everyone except himself and his friends. The opening scene is of ...
...there is what looks like a huge diving board (it isn't but I don't know what it is!) and he has provoked another guy to jump in to the water which is really irresponsible but this boy is willing to do anything Landon says just to fit in! Landon pretends he is going to jump too and he counts down to the moment they both jump..... 3......2......1..... and Landon hasn't jumped but the other guy has and what Landon and his friends didn't know is the ...
