New Moon doesn’t really break any new ground and fans of the book are likely to be a little disappointed by how much the film has strayed from the book. Oh, who are we kidding? The movie has Taylor Lautner shirtless and the gorgeous-no-matter-what-he-wears Robert Pattinson so girls of all ages will love it.

Truthfully speaking, I didn’t enjoy the movie as much as I hoped, but considering how insanely excited I was to see New Moon, there was no way it could be anything other that a little disappointing. After repeated watchings I have warmed to it significantly and have found myself enjoying it much more.

If you have read the book and loved the book, prepare yourself for a completely unnecessary fight scene and Taylor Lautner shirtless for no reason other than having him appear shirtless. All and all, it’s a fun watch if not slightly too far away from the Twilight characters we know and love. I felt the same way about the first movie, though so keep that in mind.

It’s the story of Cilla McGowan (Murphy) who was a former child star and now loves to restore old houses. She begins working on her grandmother’s home, to save it from falling apart, but is haunted by dreams of her and how she died many years ago.

As this tale unfolds, she becomes romantically involved with her hunky neighbor, Ford Sawyer (cool name!) and the passion begins…

Go grab some Kleenex and let’s all pay Tribute to a great actress lost while watching the film. RIP Brittany Murphy – We’ll miss you!!

The idea that two people could be as in love as Sam Wheat and Molly Jensen are in Ghost is so powerful. That’s the kind of unconditional and allconsuming love us ladies dream about. The pottery scene… oh goodness! That may possibly be my favorite love scene in any movie ever.

Ghost makes me a sappy, weepy emotional wreck and that’s why I love it so much. It cuts right to the core of your soul and holds tight. It is the ultimate chick flick, the ultimate tearjerker and the ultimate love story.

If you haven’t seen Ghost, you must – and I mean must watch it right now. Seriously, you won’t regret it, but make sure you have boxes upon boxes of tissue. If this movie doesn’t make you sob, there may be something wrong with you.

Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet is bold and visually stunning. Taking the actual Elizabethan dialogue and setting it against a modern backdrop was a brave step, but it works fantastically. There is nothing lost in translation here and that might be the biggest reason this film works so well.

Baz Luhrman took Shakepeare’s words and made them accessible for a whole new generation. Excellent movie.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have the kind of chemistry that sets the screen on fire. We lose ourselves in Jack and Rose. Leonardo and Kate don’t exist. They play their roles flawlessly. It’s no surprise no one believed they weren’t a couple off-screen.

Titanic really has everything a girl could ask for in a chick flick – romance, drama, action, a cute boy and a weep-inducing ending. There is nothing about Titanic that doesn’t work and that’s why we all love it so much.

If you’re one of the five people on planet earth that hasn’t seen Titanic, watch it now! Right now! Get your box of tissue and your bowl of popcorn and prepare yourself for a really good cry!

The Notebook may very well be perfect. You connect on a deeply emotional basis with the characters and in the end, you’re left feeling moved. If you don’t have a box of tissue on hand for this movie, you’re a fool. You will need it.

The cast is incredible all the way around with heartbreaking performances by James Garner and Gena Rowlands. I really can’t say enough good things about The Notebook. It’s just an incredible movie that every woman needs to watch at least once. Just don’t be surprised when you find yourself going back for seconds – and thirds, and fourths…

The Notebook may be a newer movies, but I think it will go down in history with Casablanca and Gone With the Wind as a classic love story that stands up to the test of time.

The Secret Life of Bees is one of those great tear jerker movies that packs a heck of a punch from the very first scene. At times, it’s not easy to watch. You feel so much for Dakota Fanning’s charater, Lily, that seeing what she goes through is a harrowing experience. In the end, though, you are rewarded with a rich, fulfilling movie that makes you appreciate you family and friends.

The Secret Life of Bees is destined to be a tearjerkers classic and I definitely recommend having tissue nearby throughout the movie. Dakota Fanning is a force to be reckoned with; far surpassing the ‘child star’ label. This girl isn’t good for her age, she’s just plain good – outacting not only most actresses her age, but most actresses (or actors) overall. Let’s just hope she keeps her wits about her and doesn’t go all Britney/Lindsay on us. She has far too much talent to waste.
