Updates

Hello Everyone!

I have been slacking big time on my blogging duties so I apologize. I know you love to read about all that I am reading, watching, playing, etc.  Well, I have good news for you all!

I am in the midst of finishing my 11th book on my list of 26 to read in 2011 and I am finally seeing a new movie this week so keep a look out for that review (guesses on which movie are welcome!)

I also have been busy because I recently got engaged at the beginning of June so I have been busy planning and imagining what my wedding will be like. It is very exciting!

So keep a look out in the next week or so for at least 1 new post about either the book or the movie I am going to see.

I will get back on track....I promise!

Unfortunately it did not live up to the majority’s expectations and fell flat when it was released.  I enjoyed it from a movie and entertainment viewpoint but when comparing it to the book it left something to be desired...

The Last Song

Before I begin this review, I must put a disclaimer. The only way I got through this movie was to look past Miley Cyrus as the lead. With that said, so starts my review. With imagination running out in Hollywood, producers have to look to other forms of entertainment for inspiration. Nicholas Sparks books have always been a very good place with hit movies such as A Walk to Remember, Message in a Bottle, and The Notebook. In 2010, Hollywood made 2 of his books into movies - Dear John and The Last Song starring Miley Cyrus and Greg Kinnear. Before seeing this movie, I made it a point to read  the book so I could compare the two mediums. This story wasn't a typical Sparks novel in the sense of about finding your true love. This is a story about the dysfunctional yet oddly functional relationship between an 18-year old teenage and her estranged father. Roni and her 10 year old brother come to live at their father's house in South Carolina, on the water, for the summer much to ...
