I don't really understand why people are being so harsh about this film. OK, so it's not anything we haven't seen before but it isn't trying to be. I went and saw Valentine's Day with my friend earlier today, just for something to do and I thought it was fine for what it is. It's just completely harmless and innocent. OK, so it's really cheesy but that's what you would expect from a film called Valentine's Day. There are a lot of story lines going on in this film so none of them go in to much detail which I didn't mind really because if there's a storyline or characters that you don't like, at least the film doesn't stay in one place for too long! And there are a couple of really cute little twists near the end. I'd say go and watch it if you like romantic films and aren't expecting some deep and meaningful film- it's just a bit of fun. I'm not going to rush out and buy this as soon as it comes out but I would happily sit through it again and think it's a great film for a girlie night in.

The Green Mile
(1999)
Words can not describe...
6 February 2010
I really can not describe in words how much I love The Green Mile. I only discovered it about 6 months ago and it became my favourite film straight away. This film is sad, funny, intriguing and just absolutely beautiful. I read the book first and was just so amazed at how well it was adapted into the film. Nothing is missed out and I think that every single one of the actors was cast perfectly, particularly Doug Hutchinson as Percy Wetmore who you can't help but hate. I think my favourite thing about The Green Mile is the sound track. The music in the film is just stunning and a few of the songs can bring tears to my eyes without watching the film, just listening. I suppose this film won't appeal to everyone, especially those who find it difficult to concentrate for a long period of time! But for me it's 10 out of 10- a perfect film, I can't fault it.
