Romantic Drama: The Time Traveler's Wife- 2009


How can a couple's relationship possibly survive if one of them happens to uncontrollably vanish into another time and place at any given moment? In this original version of a love story Henry and Clare make it happen, despite the odds stacked against them.


Grade: B+


This was a very touching story about a love that won't quit, no matter what, and a man that lives his life the best way he can, without always living it in chronological order. This story was totally original, and the acting was awesome. This is one of those stories that really makes you feel what the characters are feeling, like you are right there with them. It conveyed the emotions very well, and, although at times felt a bit tear-jerky, was a great watch!

Comedy/ Romantic Comedy: All of Me- 1984


Just before stubborn millionaire Edwina Cutwater (Lily Tomlin) dies, she asks her uptight lawyer, Roger Cobb (Steve Martin), to amend her will so that her soul will pass to the young, vibrant Terry Hoskins (Victoria Tennant) -- but the spiritual transference goes awry. Edwina enters Roger's body instead, forcing him to battle Edwina for control of his own being. Director Carl Reiner's comedy nabbed Golden Globe nominations for Martin and Tomlin. (Per Netflix.com)


Grade: B


This was a cute movie. The characters were played wonderfully, as one would expect, and probably just as important, if not more, the story was very unique and original, and you know I'm a sucker for that. Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin make a great team in this movie, and make it a great watch. Steve Martin's ability to play a person with two souls, basically two people is fun to watch. Definitely check it out!
