I am NOT a critic. I'm merely an observer. (Books, movies, plays, musicals etc.)

source Josh Boone :  Writer and Director(It's his directorial debut) source First things first: This is NOT for the conservative or for those who only watch movies that promote Christian values. So now that is out of the way, I will talk about what I think about the movie. Yes, I don't share any of the characters' values(Maybe I'm a little like Lou( LOGAN LERMAN ), but, not exactly.), but each of the character's personalities are deep, and their reasons for being who they are different, but if you get to really "meet" them, you would understand those reasons. The movie is well-written and well-directed by JOSH BOONE.  This was the first film he ever directed, so it's pretty impressive.  The actors were carefully chosen by TRACY KILPATRICK and JOHN PAPSIDERA. THE VERY CONVINCING CAST: GREG KINNEAR, JENNIFER CONNELLY, LILY COLLINS, NAT WOLFF, LIANA LIBERATO, PATRICK SCHWARZENEGGER, SPENCER BRESLIN, KRISTEN BELL, RUSTY JOINER, Log...

2 James Marden flicks I've seen the same day(8 February 2016) It's the Lunar New Year and you would think I would watch something Asian, but no.  I watched two James Marden movies and I must say that I am convinced that the guy is a chameleon. I've seen the first one by "accident".  I was channel surfing because I was stumped then I saw that THE BEST OF ME(2014) was playing on Star Movies.  I wanted to watch this the year it was released, but I was too busy.  When I was freer, it was not playing anymore. :-(  I was not fortunate to read the novel by Nicholas Sparks, but since I knew it was something from him, I tried to guess who was going to die.  Later I learned through Wikipedia that there's an alternate ending for those people who hate tragedies. It's an "ideal" ending, but even if it's sad, I think the original ending is still better.   The story is very moving and worth every minute(probably every second) of my time. A...

Rated R for Violence Director: Philipp Stölzl Writer: Arash Amel Stars: Aaron Eckhart , Nick Alachiotis , Liana Liberato , Yassine Fadel , Olga Kurylenko , Garrick Hagon and David Bark-Jones Liana Liberato has been appearing in a lot of psychologically damaging roles in the past and her role as Amy Logan is the mildest, in my opinion, among those types of roles. She is a very good actor and I don't know how she could play everything so convincingly at a very young age.  She was sixteen when she filmed this with Aaron Eckhart and almost seventeen when this was released.   The script that the critics lambasted as unoriginal and a hodgepodge threadbare of motifs, is actually pretty exciting.  Yes, yes, I agree, the story is somewhat old,  but hey.  In fashion, old styles become new trends with a little rehashing.  The Man of Steel has been rebooted several times and locally, Darna and Dyesebel have multiple personalities.
