Review:
When David moves to his new apartment, after his wife death, the last thing he want to found there is company, but surprinsingly Elizabeth shows up with the idea that the apartment was hers...until she disappears right in front his eyes. He is convinced she is a spirit, on the other hand she is convinced she is still alive.
After a long time trayin to understand things, David agrees to figure out who Elizabeth really is. While they are trying to find some clues together, their reationship changed from resentment to love.
Unfortunately things take a turn for the worse when the hospital and Elizabeth's sister follow her wishes to not artificially prolong life and take her off life support.

Mark Ruffalo’s performances is amazingly perfect, he surprised as every time with his unexpectedly actions, but at the end, he undoubtly touched our hearts with the most unexpectedly, beautiful and romantc love action of all times.

This film change the wrong thought that love depends on destiny and teachs us that, on the contrary, DESTINY depends on LOVE, specially if you love with every peace of your heart.

The Reader

Film: "The Reader"
Genre: Drama, Romance
Director: Stephen Daldry
Actors: David Kross, Kate Winslet and Ralph Finnes

Review:

“The Reader” starts when teenager Michael Berg becomes ill and is helped by Hanna Schmitz, a stranger who twice his age. When Michael recovers from the illness he decided to go to Hanna’s apartment to thanks her. The two quickly fall into a passionate and secretive affair which is a short step from pedophilia. Apart from the sex they create a reader-listener relationship when Michael discovers that Hanna loves being read to (origin of the movie’s name) and Hanna is surprised as how Michael reads to her. Despite their intense relationship, Hanna mysteriously disappears one day and Michael is left confused and heartbroken.
Eight years later, while Michael is a law student, he is astonished to find Hanna back in his life but this time as a defendant in the courtroom. As Hanna's past is revealed, Michael uncovers a deep secret that will save her from being unfairly accused.

As we are accustomed, the performance of Kate Winslet is exactly what the film needs.
What is really remarkable is David Kross acting. He incredibly impressed me with his catching personality and his ability to register multiple emotions and thoughts which are complicated, especially during the trial scenes. He is, without a doubt my favorite character.

In my view “The reader” is a haunting story about truth and reconciliation, which offer a different love story as the ones that we are accustomed to watch.

Review:

Get Into the real drama of brothers and sisters

Dave annabel, Calista Flockhart, Balthazar Getty, Rachel Griffiths and Sally Fields made one of the best soap opera ever.

Nora Walker is a liberal woman married to a conservative Republican man, William Walker, who is the owner of an important company.
After William death, in a family reunion, Nora and her children discovered that he had had an affair with another woman, Holly Harper. To make matters worse, both of them had had a daugther together, Rebecca Harper.
Now the Walker family have to live and accept their new sister.

B&S offers every week a new problem. Real life problems that make me feel identified, that's what makes me keep on waching it again and again.
So if you like real drama I strongly recommend you to see Brothers & Sisters.

Director: Nick Cassavetes
Starring: Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, Gena Rowlands, James Garner
Review:

With every great love comes a great story

Some people claim that “The Notebook” is a silly love story between two, but in my opinion is more than just that. Is a romantic and full of passion story, which show us that real love can cross all obstacles.

Allie and Noah had oposite thoughts, she was a girl from the high society and he was a mill worker, but since the first time he saw her, he knew that they were meant to be together. Along the story their love came every day bigger and bigger but suddenly Allie had to move away for school.
A few years later Allie met Noah one more time to discover what they both felt. Now Allie had to decide between her real love or her new fiance.

Not only the spectacular chemistry between Allie and Noah catch our atenttion but also the amazing sceneries and the romantic dialog. Dialog full of truth that in some point makes you feel identified.

The Notebook is one of those movies that will make you feel both happy and sad, yet still smiling. So if you like what you read, you will love waching it.
