The Host is a sad movie whose trailer betrays the total sum of action in the entire movie. Is it an action movie? Nope. Is it a "save the human race" movie? Nope. Is it even a decent alien movie? Nope. The whole movie can be summed up as a romance movie. Yes, you read that right. It is a movie about romantic entanglements between four people. If you are expecting so much more from the trailer, you are bound to be extremely disappointed.
So, an alien species has taken over earth. They are all about peace, politeness, and the
Safe Haven
by T Akery March 15th, 2013 | Movie Reviews, Romance
Safe Haven is about a woman escaping trouble. She winds up in the small town of Safe Haven. After awhile, the town becomes home. She falls in love with a storekeeper who has two children. She finds a friend named Jo. For awhile, the town is safe. That is, until danger arrives.
The beginning starts out interesting enough with a lot of suspenseful moments. I did like the intro. The arrival in town is quiet and the momentum stays pretty slow until the climax.
The kids are cute actors. They also have way more emotional play than the two adults in

by R. Carnavale December 7th, 2012 | Movie Reviews, Romance
Right off the bat, let me just say that I loved this romantic comedy and recommend that anyone who has ever lost someone they loved see Silver Linings Playbook.

Pat’s father, played by Robert De Niro, is an avid Philadelphia
Rock of Ages
by Ronald A. Rowe June 21st, 2012 | Comedy, Movie Reviews, Romance
Rock of Ages is to the 1980s what Grease is to the 1950s in the sense that it is a musical comedy love story that captures the zeitgeist of the times through the music of the day. Unlike Grease, which featured all original music, Rock of Ages covers some of the most popular Glam Rock songs from the 1980s.
The Good: The music steals the show. If you grew up in the 1980s you will love the Rock of Ages versions of such hits as Paradise City, I Wanna Rock, and Don't Stop Believin'. Even better are the medleys that

The Lucky One
by R. Carnavale May 2nd, 2012 | Drama, Movie Reviews, Romance
The Lucky One, a romantic drama based on Nicholas Sparks' bestselling book, , is a fantastic and riveting movie about fate, love, and luck. As the film begins, the audience is treated to a spectacular aerial view of Louisiana’s bayou country and some poignant words that define this film: “You know, the smallest thing can change your life, and to find the light, you must pass through the deepest darkness."
Zac Efron plays U.S. Marine Logan Thibault, who has managed to survive three tours of duty in Iraq. The last tour is a bit dicey, with Efron and his fellow marines
