Movie Review- Angel Eyes (2001)

GOOD

An unkempt man who wonders the city alone suddenly finds an attraction to a young police woman. He enjoyed just staring at her from afar. But when he saved her from getting killed, they grew closer. The role of the policewoman, Sharon is played by Jennifer Lopez, and Catch, the loner is played by Jim Caviezel. In a way, both Sharon and Catch are lost souls who craze loving, but have found a way to mask it. Sharon masks her emotional side by being a very aggressive cop, and Catch buries his emotions by being a loner and limiting his interaction with people.

Movie Review: Girl With a Pearl Earring (2003)

Girl With a Pearl Earring is a fictional tale of a real life painting of the same title, by the 17th century Dutch painter, Johannes Vermeer. The character of the maid in the painting, Griet, is played by the beautiful Scarlett Johansson, and the painter is played by Colin Firth. The romance drama is about how a reclusive painter took a liking in his new maid, and got inspired to paint her for his sole client, a rich aristocrat in his town.  It is slow paced, and shows how the painter developed some level of affection for the maid, and how she grew fond of her master too, but they never got intimate. She was more like his muse for the masterpiece he went on to create when he decided to paint her.

Movie Review: Dirty Deeds (2005)

Dirty Deeds is a 2005 High School Romance Comedy. It is all about a high school senior trying to impress a girl by doing the dirty deeds, which the girl's brother was set up to do, so as to save the kid, and get the girl to like him. The deeds are 10 dares, like a challenge with ten almost impossible task you have to do on a particular day on homecoming weekend. Although very challenging, he ended up impresses in the girl at the end of the day.








This movie is a fun movie, not so romantic per se. There are so many different characters...numerous funny characters, all revolving around the the main guy and girl. It also has very nice, and well timed cameos by big shots like Zoe Saldana, and Mark Derwen. If you want to kick back and just watch something light, you can get this. I would give this movie a 6.5 out of 10 in rating. Oh, and there are a lot of boobies all over the place...Be warned. lol!

Movie Review: Two Night Stand (2014)

Two Night Stand is a romance comedy about two people, Megan (Analeigh Tipton) and Alec (Miles Teller) who get trapped together because of a New York snow storm, after a one night stand. It was just meant to be a one night stand which was orchestrated online, till the blizzard, which made it a Two Night Stand. lol! So, this movie has a small cast, and there is about 80% screen-time focused on the two main characters.
