The Notebook (Wide Screen)

Advantages: Cute, nice outfits
Disadvantages: a bit too much sappiness for my liking.

...long suspected this to be the case but there's now irrefutable proof. I didn't cry in "The Notebook" and I didn't love the movie. I mean I didn't hate it, but glancing through other reviews there seems to be nothing but glowing reports of heart wrenching, soul touching weeping over this movie. It's my flatmates favourite movie and that's why we watched it, she had been raving about it for months. Ill confess to being not much of a crier in general, ...
...it. Though I watched the movie of A Walk to Remember and wasn't that impressed despite a secret and till now unconfessed admiration for Mandy Moore that even forgives her singing the lines "Your love is as sweet as candy, Ill be forever yours, Love always, Mandy". Any girl that got to date the lovely Zach Braff wins my vote. She gets a bigger vote for breaking up with him and leaving my path clear. I would say something here like anyway, I digress ...

Advantages: lovely engaging film
Disadvantages: none

...for this review is actually the same as the tagline for this lovely engaging film - 'The Notebook' and that'sexactly what it is - a great love story! Through reading quite a few reviews about various DVDs on Ciao! and Dooyoo, I've been building up a small collection of ones to watch. Last night it was the turn of 'The Notebook' after having read a few favourable reviews about it. I spent a couple of very enjoyable hours watching it, albeit on my ...
...else instead. It was probably the right choice for him as I do think this is a typical 'girlie' film! There actually seem to be two parallel stories in the film. It starts in the present with a couple of old people in a nursing home. The old man (James Garner) is reading a story from a note book to the old lady (Gena Rowlands) who is listening intently. Throughout the film we keep coming back to these two and their comments on the story. However ... Read review

Advantages: Beautifully shot and strong performances from the leads!!
Disadvantages: A bit predictable....

...romance written and directed in the old-style. If you don't like 'chick flicks', 'weepies' or any film that involves hankies then don't watch this. This movie is, as are all good movies based on a novel. The novel also called 'The Notebook' was written by a guy named Nicholas Spark's. He managed to write this passionate tale of romance in about six months, it was published in 1996 and was on the bestsellers list for almost two years. Similar to ...
...straight for the heart, making it a perfect romantic novel for movie makers. The story begins with an elderly man (James Garner - Space Cowboys) called Duke reading a story which he has read many times before. This time he is reading it to an elderly lady (Gene Rowlands - The Skeleton Key) is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The story Duke is telling is about two young people (17 years of age to be exact) called Noah Calhoun and Allie Hamilton. ... Read review

Advantages: Romantic
Disadvantages: predictable

...South Africa, but one of the girls had been raving about it, said it reduced her to tears, so I thought I'd give it a go. Now I hardly ever cry at films (Land Before Time, being the only one I can remember), even Gladiator, which is increadibly sad at the end only had me choked, but this.....left me with tears streaming down my face. At first I thought it was due to the fact that I might have been missing a certain someone, but no it would appear ...
...up in exactly the same state!! Apparently 'the most romantic movie since Titanic' The Notebook is a typical romantic film in so many ways, which of course, is bound to make it slightly predictable, but I don't see the harm in that every now and again. I think it also makes it very easy to watch, unlike if, for example, you were watching The Matrix for the first time and you have to pay attention to every little detail. The film starts with 'Duke' ... Read review
