Angel Eyes

Angel Eyes

Who's in it: Jennifer Lopez, James Caviezel

What's it about: A car accident left Catch(Caviezel) wondering what he did to deserve a life without his wife and son. Sharon(Lopez) was the cop that saved him on the highway, but he never got to meet her. A year later, Catch sees Sharon in a coffee shop and is determined to meet her. He saved her during a chase from a gunman and so they begin to see each other more often. As their love begins to rise, Catch learns more and more about Sharon, but she never learns about him. After learning his real name is Steven, she finds his history files and remembers the moment that she saved his life. More of their stories come into light and they are on their way to truly understanding each other.

What I Think: James Caviezel and Jennifer Lopez were a perfect duo for this movie. I thought that the contrasts betwen the two characters allowed for them to connect more than expected. The storyline was unique and something that I haven't really ever seen before. You thought that you knew the story, but you really don't until the end. The acting was great and I don't know why, but I always find myself attracted to all of Lopez's films. A great and new twist to the view of a love story. Caviezel is new to me and I think that he's now my second favourite actor... next to Gerard Butler of course.

No Reservations

No Reservations

Who's in it: Catherine Zeta-Jones, Aaron Eckhart, Abigail Breslin

What's it about: After the death of her sister, Kate(Zeta-Jones) is given her niece, Zoe(Breslin), and is her legal guardian. Kate has never been much of a people person and is always thinking about food and her job. She works as head chef for a restaurant. After her leave from work, she comes back to see that she has a new co-worker. Nick(Eckhart) is coming up fast to getting Kate's hard-earned position. Oblivious to Nick's love and worried about her new found parenthood, Kate is burdened by too many feelings at once and has to sort them out in order to finally have the happy life she always wanted

What I Think: Definitely a great movie to me. I had no clue that Eckhart could be so flexible with himself. I mean, Harvey Dent and Two-Face, but still able to do a lovey-dovey sous chef? I hadn't seen a movie with Zeta-Jones in it lately, but I must admit that she hasn't changed a bit. Breslin, I've realized, is coming up as the cute little girl in almost every upcoming movie. I've seen her in 'Nim's Island', 'Definitely, Maybe', and now 'No Reservations'. She's done a great job in all of them. Watch out Dakota!

Made of Honor

Made of Honor

Who's in it: Patrick Dempsey, Michelle Monaghan, Kevin McKidd

What's it about: Tom(Dempsey) and Hannah(Monaghan) have been best friends since a college accident. Tom is always sleeping around with different women every night and then comes back to spend a day with Hannah every Sunday. Hannah leaves for a trip to Scotland for 6 weeks and doesn't get to hardly speak with Tom in that time. Tom realizes that he is in love with Hannah while she's gone. When she gets back, she surprises him with her new fiance, and Duke of Scotland, Colin(McKidd). Tom agrees to be Hannah's maid of honor in the wedding. Now in a crazed attempt to 'steal the bride', Tom must try his hardest to be the best maid of honor he can be.

What I Think: I actually first saw this movie in theaters with my best friend. We both adored the storyline and the comedic routine that went along with it. I've never been a huge fan on Patrick Dempsey, but this movie has made me realize why so many women are in love with him. Monaghan was beautiful in every aspect of her character and as an actress. This movie makes you really sympathize with men all over the world that lose their love to a superior male. Great movie!
