I honestly expected more out of this movie. It was good, but not great as I expected it to be. Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams both played their parts beautifully, but I kept feeling as though something else would happen along the storyline, but not much did. It was a story of a newly married couple that get into a car crash, and Paige (McAdams) loses her memory of the last 5 years of her life, which was the whole amount of time she'd known her husband. Her husband being a stranger to her, the premise was that he had to make her fall in love with him all over again. Throughout the movie though, not much else happened. I also expected it to be sadder than it was.

I saw this movie a few months ago for the first time, and do not understand at all the hype over this movie. The Blair Witch project was undoubtedly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The acting was absolutely horrendous, and it was impossible to sympathize with the characters. Heather, annoying brat that she was, insisted on filming EVERYTHING. Even as the other two guys were screaming at her to turn it off, she had to film every moment of their downfall. Her annoying voice was enough to make me hate this movie from the start, not to mention the series of ridiculously moronic things that these kids did from start to finish, from throwing their map into the river, to going into the woods without listening or paying attention to the people they interviewed about it. Pretty much nothing happened the whole movie except watching them argue with each other. The vague things that were supposed to scare us did nothing but make the story line more paper thin than it already was. The ending was stupid, and barely made sense even when you knew what was supposed to be happening. Even as Heather is walking up the stairs expecting to find her friend dead, she is STILL filming. It was completely unrealistic. The only terrifying thing about this movie is the fact that it is so popular. I think Family Guy did a perfect summary of the movie when Brian was explaining the movie while watching it with a blind guy. He said "They're in the woods. The camera keeps moving around. I guess they're looking for some witch, I don't know, I wasn't listening. Nothings happening................nothings happening.................something about a map..nothings happening.... Its over. A lot of people in the audience looked pissed."

I was a bit hesitant in seeing this movie, because of the typical downfall of horror films that just keeping making more movies when it should have stopped way sooner, such as Saw, or Final Destination. But this movie surprised me. As always, and I won't spoil anything, the killer or killers at the end were totally unexpected. Courtney Cox and David Arquette were great in their parts, but then again, they always are. Emma Roberts blindsided me. I had no idea her acting abilities were to that standard, as I always remembered her from 'Unfabulous' or 'Hotel for Dogs'. She really played her part magnificently. The movie was every bit as good as the first three, or maybe even better.

Considering I am a huge Robert Pattinson fan, I heard about this movie and decided I had to read the book before seeing it. The book being phenomenal, I bought the movie and watched it. It was fabulous. I think Rob just gets better and better with each movie that he is in, and of course Reese was perfect as Marlena. A love story set in the 1930s, it was the tale as old as time story of forbidden love, but done in such a unique way. They really did the book justice, and I was surprised about that. All of the actors played there parts incredibly.

Remember Me was a movie I will definitely remember. Critics can say all they want about the movie's ending being offensive, but I don't understand how anyone can have that opinion. The movie portrayed a tragedy. It did not belittle it, make it sound lighter than it really was. The story and its characters were intriguing, and each had their demons that kept you wondering what their past was. Robert Pattinson really shined in this movie, as did Emilie de Raven. I'm hoping that people won't disregard this movie without watching it because they don't like Twilight. Rob was phenomenal in this, much better than Twilight. But all in all, the movie was sweet, compelling, and very emotional.
