Endless Love is Endlessly Entrancing

Gabriella Wilde and Alex Pettyfer are absolute perfection in this tale of undying adoration.


Endless Love tells the story of Jade Butterfield, a girl who's spent most of her teenage years hidden behind her books until she meets handsome valet David Elliot, the complete opposite of what Jade's wealthy and over protective father imagined for her.

But despite her father's disapproval, Jade allows herself to fall in love with David, which does not bode well with Mr. Butterfield. He does everything in his power to prove that David is not good enough for his only daughter.


Throughout the movie, I was angered by her father's heartless actions and found myself rooting for Jade and David's love to concur all obstacles.


This movie had it all: love, drama, lies and deception and the ending was just as great as the movie's opening. It's films like these that restore your faith in the idea of love.


For all you hopeless romantics out there, this is a can't miss film!

A Unique Perception of Love: The Past

I have never been one for foreign movies but last night I unknowingly watched a French film, The Past, starring Bérénice Bejo, Tahar Rahim and Ali Mosaffa and to my surprise I did find some enjoyment.


The story is about a young mother, Marie, who is seeking a divorce from her husband Ahmad to venture on a new journey with her current fiancé, Samir.


During the movie we learn how Marie's relationship with Samir developed and we see the problems they share with the Marie's oldest daughter, Lucie who disapproves of her mother's lover.

The concept of this movie was well thought out and like every good film there was a lot of drama and some interesting twists. I was also happy because my lack of understanding the French language was accommodated with English subtitles.

 However, the movie was dragged out and a bit sad. I also felt it could have had a better ending. But for those who enjoy French films with a unique and dramatic plot this is the movie to see.
