Before We go


PReview
This movie was chosen for the reason non other than Captain America is in it. Alice Eve is also familiar but cant remember from where. Lets have a dose of romance for a change. As you can see, Chris Evans is again bearded in this one. He's following Keanu Reeves and they both acted together before in 1 movie i am trying to recall. Lets hope this does not disappoint.

REVIEW
Deciding to watch this movie is deciding to spend some time in something romantic, which i did. At the start of the the film indications were everywhere that this is a low budget film with unknown who cares director. The attraction to sit down to watch are the 2 lead actors. C Evans is of course our Captain America and Alice Eve (The brit chick) was in "Dirty Weekend" as the lesbian brunnete (i remember). But here she was still a brit but a blonde and slim down a bit.
Wont touch on how the story went but what I can say it is an impressive romantic story with 2 believable and possibly existant characters in real life. This could be a shoe string budget film. But one thing that draw my intention is how come Chris Evan's physique is so ordinary ? He did CA2 in 2014. But he definitely did not seem so here.
The plot is not your ordinary boy meets girl and fall in love and the end. Even the ending left too many questions as there could be a sequel to this one to come. But both Brooke and Nick love stories seem to be at the extreme (but could happen). Boy splitted with his ex GF for 6 years already but feeling is still there while Girl is not happily married and still love her jilted husband and wanted to give another chance.
And the most touching part is at the end at the pay phone where Nick confessed that he need Brooke more than she need him. How they parted at Grand Central Station was also not seem cheesy at all.
BTW one of the writer did won an oscar for Rain Man. But guess who was the director - non other than Captain America himself !
One of the best romantic movie i have seen.

Some kind of beautiful 2014


REVIEW
Got to watch this movie even with its low ratings in imdb 5.7 (?). I think its the first time Jessica Alba's root is shown as Hispanic. Salma Hayek was used to be typcast as Hispanic, perhaps due to her strong spanish ascents ?
Now what can I say about the film. It is an above average romantic comedy. What can you say for a man to leave everything he has in England to follow his GF to live in LA and ended up in a crummy institution. Thats where his weakness (or rather strength) to take responsible for his child. But then again how come Kate (JA) left him for this guy who play Comm. Gordon in Gotham, Ben Mackenzie. Cant figure out how she can fell for a comical character and leave Richard (PB). The storyline is rather logical as it can happen in real life. Not those romantic movie with superficial love and love story.

Bridal Wave


Saw this movie because it was still the HDD not deleted yet, short at 1.5hr and need a dose of comedy. Thou it was not mentioned, this is a TV movie. It does give you the feel good feeling when it ends everything seem to have its closure nicely. On checking IMDB it is a hallmark romance one and at 6.6. Morale of the story is when you are with someone at work for a long time and real close, you may confuse that is love rather than merely depending. The failure to lunch is logic enough. But the concierge not knowing who is the groom and assuming someone else to be one may be beyond protocol. Yes Georgie looks familiar but unknown. She is Dwayne J gf in ballers.
