Red Dawn
I recently watched red Dawn which was a re make of the original 1984 Red Dawn staring Patrick Swaze and Charlie Sheen.  the basic plot line was very similar where the country is taking over by hostile foreigners originally Cuba and in the new film North Korea. The plot of the film revolves around a group of teenagers that escape their town while it is being taking over and rebel against their new hostile government. They call themselves the Wolverines! The remake cast Chris Hemsworth as their main character and Josh Hutshinson. where the movie failed was in a positive portrayal of the main characters and their relationship within one another. the movie would be appealing to men in the tristate area strictly on the violence factor but in the end did not compare to the original. I would not recommend seeing this film but if you would like to watch the trailer let me know what your thoughts are.

Safe Haven

This new love story was released on Valentines Day and so far has grossed over $30 Million in the box office.This is another movie based on a book from Nicholas Sparks, similar to The Notebook and Dear John. The two main stars of this movie are Julianne Hough (Katie) and Josh Duhamel (Alex). It is a suspenseful Story about a young and beautiful woman who is trying to love again. Katie (Julianna Hough) ends up in Southport, North Carolina because of her mysterious past. When in Southport she meets Alex (Josh Duhamel)  who is a recent widow. Throughout the movie they form a bond which is tested by Katie's past. Overall the movie was filled with suspense, romance, and a few twists. This is a great movie to go see if you are a college student; either with your best group of girls or even better for a college date. For the guys, yes it is a chick flick, but it has gorgeous women, funny on many different levels, and it has its action moments. If you haven't seen it, I would advice you to go. Check out the trailer...
