Love Actually

With the Holidays right around the corner it’s time to bring out all the Christmas movies. Love Actually is a great Christmas romance movie that shows the journey of multiple love stories during the month of December. It highlights the meaning of the holidays and the importance of being with your loved ones. Some of the actors include Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson, Andrew Lincoln, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Bill Nighy, Thomas Brodie Sangster, and Alan Rickman. Each character has a different story that highlights the ups and downs of being in love. One of the things I really like about this movie is how each of the characters relate to another in some way. Love Actually is a great movie to watch around the holidays and I suggest seeing it if you haven’t already!

A Star is Born

This exciting movie came out at the beginning of October and has been a common source of conversation for over a month now.  This movie shows a very moving story about a famous male singer (portrayed by Bradley Cooper) who meets a woman in a bar (portrayed by Lady Gaga) with an amazing singing voice.  He takes her out and brings her on stage at one of his gigs, where she is discovered and her career takes off. The two fall in love, and the movie follows their life story and shows the ups and downs of relationships and careers.

This is a very well filmed movie with an excellent soundtrack, but it does have a very upsetting ending. I loved the movie up until the last 20 minutes, and the ending left me thinking about the movie for days. This movie was extremely powerful and well written and I would recommend going to see it in theaters while you still can!
