Revolutionary Road

This movie looks so amazing, and I absolutely love Leo and Kate. They're phenomenal actors, and they really do have great chemistry with each other. I mean, hello! Titanic, anyone?



I realize once I'll watch it, there's a strong possibility that I will never want to get married or have children, but I guess that's the chance I'm willing to take.

It's based on a book by Richard Yates, and I think I might pick it up this weekend with my two Barnes and Nobles gift cards from Christmas. I want to read that and The Lovely Bones., which is also being made into a film directed by Peter Jackson.

Colette's Romantic Movie Pick of the Day

The next time you want to dodge the busy bars or clubs on a Friday night, and you want to settle for a comfortable blanket, your couch, a big bowl of chocolate ice cream, and the perfect romantic movie, then rent Anthony Minghella's "The English Patient".

"The English Patient" takes place during World War II. A severely burnt man (Ralph Fiennes) is being taken care of by a French nurse named Hana (Juliette Binoche). As we get to know this man behind the bandages, we see flashbacks of his life and his affair with another man's wife (Kristin Scott Thomas), which inevitably caused his current situation. Fiennes and Thomas heat up the screen with their burning on-screen chemistry. It's a lusty, forbidden love between the two of them. Some of their scenes together will make you sweat a little. Ralph Fiennes is very sexy as the leading man, and you really feel for him; he loves a woman he's not supposed to love. It's a heartbreaking film with beautiful cinematography and a love so strong that he will do whatever it takes to have her. Great movie to watch on a cold night; it will warm you up for sure.
