Movie review for A Walk In The Woods

A Walk in the Woods
Movie review
Opened on 2 September 2015
Running length 104 minutes


With big time stars, this movie has a jump start. Not only are
they all famous. They are all good.
Robert Redford is a guy that writes travel books. He is suddenly
realizing a famous hiking trail is right in his back yard. He has
never taken advantage of it. His wife, played by Emma Thompson,
sees all the signs of a midlife crisis. She tries to dissuade him.
Finally, caving in if he can find someone to go with him.
Enter Nick Nolte. A friend from long ago.

It is one laugh after another. Through the whole show. But there are
also moments of friendship and revelation. The relationship between
Robert Redford & Emma Thompsons characters is fabulous. Love and
romance. Its a soul searching trip for both of the men.
I highly recommend this movie for couples and adults over
the age of 25 or 30. And highly recommend indeed.
Best  movie I have seen in a very long time.

Waiting On You by Kristan Higgins - Audio version

Waiting On You

The Blue Heron series. Book 3
Lucas Campbell & Colleen O'Rourke were the couple that
everyone knew would be forever. But it took just one bad night.
One bad conversation with regrettable words. And they were
over. Then 10 years later, Lucas got the call. His dying uncle
needs him. So, Lucas finds himself back in Manningsport. 
Now, they have a second chance. The heat between them is
still there. As strong as ever.

But they both have a lot of forgiving and forgetting to do.

How bad do they want it? Both of them will have to
compromise and give a little. Can it work?

Amy Rubinate is a pretty well known narrator.
For good reason. She is terrific. Listening to
the story is just that much better because of her.

I bought my audio copy from Audible.com

P.S. I love you - Movie Review

Movie Review
Released in 2007
Starring Hilary Swank &
Gerard Butler


Yes, this one has been around for a while.
But, oh my goodness, you can't beat the
romance and love in this movie.
Ok, sorry, that clip is not the love and romance
that makes this movie incredible. But it does show
that there is also comedy. A lot of laughter.
Harry Connick, Jr is fabulous. All the characters are.
There is plenty of sadness and tears. But only in the
best possible way. Sadness and tears from love.
Now that clip. That's more like it.
Indeed this movie is one of the best most
romantic love stories. With an incredible ending.
For me, the ending of a movie or book can make
or break my opinion of it. Or it can make the
difference between average or amazing.
If you love movies with romance, emotions
running the whole scale of emotions, laughter
and a wonderful perfect ending, this would
be the movie for you.
