Letters to Juliet

We saw another movie because we went to the drive inn,and it was Letters to Juliet. It was one of the sweetest,charming,romance movies i have seen,and i have seen a lot.
This young couple goes to Italy for vacation,the girl (Sophie) goes to this wall where ladies write to Juliet there problems with the heart. She sits and she sees this woman take the notes down off the wall,so she follows her and finds out that there is a group of women that actually write back to the women. So she helps them and she finds a old letter in a brick thats 50 years old,so she writes her and the letter actually gets to her,so the ladies grandson and her come out to Italy to find the long lost love,and Sophie goes with them and its just sweet and funny. There was nothing bad in the movie it was just the type of movie i wish that hollywood would make more of,you dont need the crudeness,the political crap,you just need good clean entertainment,and no matter what you think, people want more of that. They think that people love the profane crude movies because thats all to see. So if you want to go to a movie thats all you get. So I am thankful for Gary Winick who directs the movie and Amanda Seyfreid for being in it. If you like sweet romance movies,skip the renting and just go straight to buying it!!

twilight movie series *spoiler alert *

ok so lets start with the books. they are AWESOME! With the exception of Breaking Dawn. In my opinion she should have left well enough alone,expanded a little on eclipse and forget the crappy last book. I mean Breaking Dawn had potential to be the best book in the series and she BLEW IT! So with that said in my mind Eclipse is the last movie and the last book and i make up my own mind what really happens :) So lets get on with the movie review.
So the first movie Twilight was kind of annoying to me,it was good but so much was left out of the movie it was sad,New Moon was much much much better,it had the right parts in the book that should have been there and the acting (muscles) by Taylor Lautner (Jacob) was FANTABULOUS!!!!!! In case you don't know i have a major thing for muscles!!! I watch wrestling just for that reason (John Cena makes me drool!)and yep hubby gets a kick out of it,so that's all good. Anyway back to the review.
Eclipse was by far the BEST of the movies!!! It was great to watch that movie and recognize the parts in the books,and there was a lot of them in this one.
My fave part in the book is when Edward and Bella go up this mountain to hide fromn the vampires who are trying to kill her,and Jacob (aka muscles)comes to help keep watch because he is a wolf. So its freezeing and Bella is shivering horribly but Edward can't help cuz he is a cold blood sucker(Jacobs words)so Jacob comes in and warms her and in the book you just get this image of his smirks and gloating because he is laying in the bag with her and only he can warm her up its just classic,but Edward and Jacob have this great conversation together,its just great imagery. It is absolutely perfect in the movie!! i was so happy!!
The other great part in the book and is in the movie is when Bella punches Jacob because he kisses her and breaks her hand,the anger in Edwards face,you actually gasp out loud,even though you know he doesnt kill Jacob,is great. I have to say that Rob Pattinson is becoming a great actor. He was so good that i actually understood why you would be on team Edward. But I am still loyal to my team. We also get to see the backgrounds of Jasper and Rosalie. i was worried about how they were going to show what happened to Rosalie,because her background is the most tragic and violent,they did it very tastefully. If you never read the book(shame on you!)you can still get the idea about what happened to her. Jaspers was sad,because he is just this sweet army man in the civil war trying to help some woman out and gets turned to make a newborn army to take over the world,he eventually got smart and killed the girl.
The interaction between Alice and Jasper was really sweet too. The fights were absolutely awesome!! And loved seeing more of the dads in the movie too,Carlisle is my fave out of the Cullens, I am sure i am forgetting some parts,its been a long week,have any questions feel free to ask.
TEAM JACOB!!!!!! TEAM CARLISLE!!!!!
