Endless Love

Who else saw the movie this weekend?! Kind of perfect for Valentine's Day I think.

I actually wanted to post photos of the family's lake house (so nautical) but couldn't find any online. Once I have it on DVD I can take screenshots I guess. I love cheesy romantic movies, possibly more than I love romantic comedies (definitely a toss up though). Endless Love did not disappoint (so cheesy, so romantic). A few months ago I went to the movies with friends and saw the initial trailer. They totally made it look like a romantic thriller (a la Fear, they even had the main character named David!). Here is a link to that trailer (seriously watch it and see the difference!). But then they updated the preview as it got closer to Valentine's Day and the newer version showed a straight up romance (what I prefer but some of my friends really wanted the thriller). It's amazing that switching the songs and editing things differently can completely change what you think the movie is about. I actually asked about this on twitter and a lot of people agreed-it was like they were trying to appeal to two completely different audiences! I will say that I have not read the book or seen the original movie (from 1981). Apparently in the book and original movie the plot is slightly different and a bit more like Fear (as in guy going crazy/stalking).

I've liked Alex Pettyfer since he was in the super cute teen movie Wild Child with Emma Roberts. I saw Magic Mike for him (I do not find Channing Tatum attractive. At all). Anyway his hair is kind of a mess in Endless Love but I still think he is so handsome.

His wardrobe in this movie is possibly even worse than his hair. Yikes

And Gabriella Wilde is just stunning as Jade. I will always root for the tall girl
