Safe Haven

Who doesn't love a Nicholas Sparks movie???

Safe Haven is the next in line to hit the big screen and i can't wait!! If you haven't read the book do it, its brilliant!!! I think it was the first of his books that hasn't had me bawling my eyes out at the end of it but its still a great story, thoroughly recommend reading the book first as it is fantastic.

The story is about Katie (Julianne Hough) who has moved to a small town after escaping her abusive ex husband. All she wants do is survive and keep hidden from her ex and has no interest in connecting with anybody until she meets Alex (Josh Duhamel) which after a series of events pushes the two together even with Katie's reluctance to form personal ties. Alex is a local resident in the small town of Southport his wife died leaving him to raise his two kids alone but something draws him to Katie.

I really hope that the film sticks as close to the original story as possible because it is such a good story and from the trailer it looks like it is sticking to the story and i can't wait!

I love Julianne Hough as a performer especially in Footloose and Rock of Ages and i am really looking forward to seeing her do something different and more serious and Josh Duhamel what can i say, i love him!

The film is being directed by Lasse Hallstrom and also stars Cobie Smulders, David Lyons, Scott Porter and Cullen Moss.

Can't wait to see this! It's out in cinemas on the 14th February 2013 right in time for valentines day!

Rock of Ages soundtrack list released

The track list for Rock of Ages has finally been announced and there are some good tracks in here. I am not really a big fan of Tom Cruise, kind of thing i like in small doses but i have to say that i am really looking forward to seeing Rock of Ages, mainly cause i love a good musical and 80's music is just a guilty pleasure.

The cast for this film is varied from the very experienced Cruise and Catherine Zeta Jones and the relatively new Julianne Hough and Diego Boneta who will be playing the main characters that are trying to make it big, so they head to the big city where they meet and fall in love at first sight (kind of typical, not really that original) and the film follows them on their journey. I loved Hough in the Footloose remake so looking forward to see if she can stand out amongst the bigger stars in the film and she has some great songs that hopefully she will be able to pull off and i have seen Boneta in a few things he was in Mean Girls 2 and he played Javier in 90210 but i am looking forward to seeing him take on a more of a lead role away from the teen scene.

The songs speak for themselves this is going to be all the best rock'n'roll from the 80's, i really hope Cruise doesn't ruin Paradise City for me because i love that song and it wouldn't be the 80's without some Journey. Rounding off the ensemble are Alec Baldwin, Mary J Blidge and Russell Brand (love him) and i can't wait to see them all together. I have high expectations of this film, even though i don't like Tom Cruise i will make the effort to watch it because it looks awesome!!!
