Movies based on Nicholas Sparks novels are never any good. Do I still anticipate them? Yes. Do I watch the trailers a lot just to get excited about seeing them? Of course. And I'm sure you know me well enough to know that this reason is because I love to make fun of them.
Don't get me wrong; they aren't the worst movies out there. If you like them, I won't hate you. They're enjoyable movies. I admittedly watch The Lucky One three times when we rented it for forty-eight hours.
But Safe Haven was actually kind of boring. Two hours was insanely long for such a terrible movie. And the plot twist? I won't give it away, but it is the silliest plot twist ever. It was even dumber than the ones I came up with (which says quite a bit). The only way this movie isn't dull is when you're watching it for the second time and you already know the twist. Then it's laughable.

The Impossible
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_impossible_2012/
Oh gosh. Let's hope I can make it through this post.
First, I want to warn you not to do what I did. Do NOT watch the trailer over and over and over and then say, "Oh, well, how sad can this movie be? I probably ruined it by watching the trailer so many times. I've already seen all the touching parts, right?"
NO.
That's what I thought. Especially since I cried at the trailer, I just assumed the movie would be easy to handle. Well, it wasn't. I think I cried more at this one movie than I did in 68 episodes of Parenthood (and that says a lot.)
Nonetheless, The Impossible is an awesome movie and I would most definitely recommend it to anyone. It's sad, extremely moving, and very well directed and acted. Just keep your tissues close.

Safety Not Guaranteed

This was possibly one of the funniest, most enjoyable movies I've ever seen. I absolutely LOVED the romance between Darius and Kenneth. They were hilarious together. And the ending? I was kinda surprised, but that only made me like it more.

Silver Linings Playbook

I had been looking forward to seeing this movie for months. I watched the preview so many times that I was sure I had jinxed it and the movie would turn out to be terrible.
Which is why I was so happy to finally watch it and find that I was not disappointed. Silver Linings Playbook actually exceeded my expectations. It was well-done, touching, and surprisingly really funny. Definitely made my top five!
