The reason I saw The Notebook was because I really liked Rachel McAdams in Wedding Crashers. She is a doll, isn't she? Rachel was so good in Wedding Crashers so I wanted to see her in another movie.
To tell you the truth I'm not quite sure about this one. The Notebook is definitely not a great movie that's for sure. I haven't read the book but I got the feeling that the director was picking from different passages of the book in order to give us maximum information in a very limited time. I am referring to the second act with all the many short stories the war, house, new boyfriend and girlfriend, and so on and so on. The acting was also not that good. Rachel in a way was OK but Ryan Gosling acted too boyish for this role. There wasn't a good chemistry between the 2 leads. The whole cast with the exception of the old Noah wasn't convincing. Not to mention the ending was so very contrived.
However this is a love story and as such some fantasies are allowed. From a bird's view this is a film about the time old question: should one follow the heart or should one follow the head? Which body organ is more reliable when making decisions? Choosing between what's good for the soul or what's good for the body. Passion or reason. Ideal versus money. Tough question I know. But what I know is that the movie also won't give you a convincing answer. I guess there isn't one.
There are other good love stories out there that are much better than The notebook. One that comes to mind from the new ones is The Constant Gardener. The Notebook is a romantic melodrama that has its moments I guess. If it so happens that you might even cry, take a look at yourself in the mirror, take your time and think what's wrong with you.

Hallo everybody. It's been quite a while since my last review. It's good to be back.
I am going to be brief with this one. I heard a lot about GN&GL and how is one of this year's Oscar contenders so I decided to give it a go. Well, I'd say I'm not fascinated. It is well directed, well paced with a camera work in the spirit of ER and West Wing, and with some incredible cast a superb performance by David Strathairn, but still didn't quite do it.
For people like me who are not familiar with the subject at hand this movie didn't make much sense. It looked like a documentary on the 50's America. Well that's OK but it means nothing to me. It was too historical, too political and too smoked. Can somebody tell me what was with all this chain smoking? There was even a full length KENT commercial shown. Unbelievable. Didn't get the idea. I didn't also understand whether the movie made a stand on the importance of journalism and TV particular in educating the ignorant and helping the weak, or a more general one the freedom of ideas and beliefs as a whole. I don't know do I make any sense?
I wouldn't recommend this movie to people not familiar with this period of the American history. As to whether the premise of this movie is still relevant, I would say probably. But I think many people will agree with me that with the rise of the Internet the ways we get access to information have changed for the better. 6 stars out of 10

It has been a while since a wrote my last review so it's nice to be back. Unfortunately this won't be a good one for the occasion is uninspiring - the movie called "Brazil."
When a saw it that it was on the IMDb 250 list I decided to give it a go, further more the great De Niro was listed number two on the credits. Well, to say the least, I didn't like that movie at all. A couple of times I had to resort to the remote control to fast-forward the extremely boring and confusingly pointless scenes.
I haven't read George Orwell's classic novel (never been much of a reader) and I am not going to but a sincerely hope that it is more interesting then its adaptation. Generally I enjoy watching "dark" movies from the likes of "Donnie Darko" and "Dark city" not to mention that I am a big fan of Terry Gilliam's all times classics: "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", "12 Monkeys" and "Fear and Loathing in LV";however "Brazil was too difficult to follow and at times completely dull.
I wouldn't recommend this movie. I don't know why is in the IMDb list.6 stars out of 10
