The Notebook, a review by TomTitle: The Notebook Year: 2004 Director: Nick Cassavetes Rating: FSK-6 Length: 124 Min. Video: Widescreen 2.35 Audio: German: Dolby Digital 5.1, English: Dolby Digital 5.1, Russian: Dolby Digital 5.1, English: Dolby Digital TrueHD, Commentary: Dolby Digital Stereo, Commentary: Dolby Digital Stereo Subtitles: Commentary, English, German, Russian, Spanish Stars: Tim Ivey Gena Rowlands Starletta DuPois James Garner Anthony-Michael Q. Thomas Plot: Behind every great love story is a great story. As teenagers, Allie (Rachel McAdams) and Noah (Ryan Gosling) begin a whirlwind courtship that soon blossoms into tender intimacy. The young couple is quickly separated by Allie's upper-class parents who insist that Noah isn't right for her. Several years pass and, when they meet again, their passion is rekindled, forcing Allie to choose between her soulmate and class order. This beautiful tale has a particularly special meaning to an older gentleman (James Garner) who regularly reads the timeless love story to his aging companion (Gena Rowlands). Based on the best-selling novel by Nicholas Sparks, 'The Notebook' is at once heartwarming and heartbreaking and will capture you in its sweeping and emotional force. Awards:
Extras: Commentary Deleted Scenes Featurettes Scene Access Trailers My Thoughts: A great love story! I had feared that this movie will be boring or too melodramatic, but it there wasn't a single minute where it wasn't engaging. Despite the two hour runtime the time flew by. I can recommend it.Rating: (From December Marathons - DISCUSSION AND REVIEW THREAD on December 20th, 2009) Joyful Noise, a review by addicted2dvd

My Thoughts: While this is a fun and entertaining film... I have definitely have seen better. I felt the acting could be better... which always dampens the entertainment value. But it is a good story. Over all I would say it is worth the time put in to watch it...but there are definitely better choices out there. Rating: (From July Movie Marathon: Musicals (Yes... You read right!) on July 14th, 2016) Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvdDue South Due South is a lightning-paced action comedy in which a quintessential, polite, by-the-book Canadian Mountie from the frozen North is teamed up with a wise-cracking Armani-clad Chicago cop with a flexible sense of morality. Brought together in the Windy CIty by a mysterious murder which has personal ramifications for both men, these unlikely budies must find a common ground amidst overwhelming differences. Canadian actor Paul Gross (Wilby Wonderful, TV's Slings and Arrows) stars as Constable Benton Fraser, with David Marciano (TV's The Shield) as his reluctant partner, Detective Ray Vecchio. Due South (Pilot Movie) Robert Fraser is killed in a 'hunting accident' in the Northwest Territories, his son Benton investigates, which ends up leading him to Chicago, where he pairs up with a smart-aleck cop named Ray to find his father's killer. My Thoughts: Bring over the review from the other thread OK... I must say... so far I like what I see. I really like the characters. This story did a really good job introducing everyone.... giving enough time to all the characters to give you a good feeling who they are. It did a good job showing someone that was truly out of place and the differences in the way he works compared to what they are used to. While watching this episode my mind kept flashing to the Dukes of Hazzard spin-off series called Enos... which was also about an out of place officer of the law (in that case a country cop) in the big city. I must say I am looking forward to watching more of this show. Though I must admit that I don't know how well the ghost of his father will fit into this series... such a supernatural twist to the show seems so out of place going by what I seen so far. In Addition: Unfortunately this show has lost a little something for me. I was loving every second of it throughout the first season. The second season really left me wondering what happened. I am to the point where there is still some good episodes here and there... but it just not the same as it was. I do plan on finishing it though. (From Pete's Pilots on December 29th, 2009) |
