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

Titanic 3D
by James Maynard April 17th, 2012 | Drama, Movie Reviews
Unfortunately, even in 3-D, Leonardo Di Caprio's performance in Titanic was still one-dimensional. The 1997 film was the most expensive movie made up until that time. It also became the most successful. Titanic has just been re-released to theaters in 3D form in time for the 100th anniversary of the actual sinking of the luxury liner, which passed this week.
For those who have not seen it anytime since its 1997 release, the story revolves around the true story of the HMS Titanic, which sank on April 15th, 1912. The film stars Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet as a

This film is quite good. I've seen other reviews whose writers would disagree, but the real review is right here. Kate Mathieson (Halle Berry) is a professional diver who specializes in diving with sharks. It's been her lifelong passion to swim the dark blue waters off the coast of South Africa. She becomes unique among all divers worldwide because of her willingness and bravery in choosing to swim with the sharks sans cage -- every time.
She experiences a loss that affects her career and personal life. One of the crew on her boat is her husband Jeff (Olivier Martinez). They suffer

Detachment

Henry Barthes (Adrien Brody) is a substitute teacher in a troubled district. He's a substitute by choice, and does not seem to mind that there is no permanence in the job.
The movie begins with interesting anecdotes by real teachers, and evolves into an entire movie with occasional reflections of the story's main character, Henry. Henry meets and befriends a troubled, prostituted teenager, Erica (Sami Gayle). The chemistry between the two actors is incredible. This story within the story is well worth the watch. These two become inseparable, even if only for a little while, with Henry being the father

Like Crazy

This is a very tea and crumpets type of movie. Why the reference? The lead, Anna, played by Felicity Jones, is British. She falls in love with Jacob, played by Anton Yelchin.
Tea and crumpets, tasty, but plain, are not earth-shatteringly delicious together. The movie is similar if you can translate taste into feelings. It’s nice if you need a couple hours off to watch a love story.
Anna falls in love with Jacob while the two are studying at a university in Los Angeles. She is so in love, she decides to overstay her visa. She chooses to spend the
