I have never done a movie review before on this blog, so, let this be the first one. The valentine's day is just 2 days away and what mood are you in????Are you happy???? and feeling hopelessly romatic and sappy to the core???? or did you break up with someone and feeling down in the dumps?????Not to worry, am going to review two movies here today for both the groups and I hope you enjoy my review and also the movies... :)
Let's start with the HAPPY one...
THE LOST VALENTINE........
This is a Hallmark Original Movie and centers around a Navy wife Caroline thomas(Betty White) and a television journalist Susan allison (Jennifer Love Hewitt).The main protagonist bids goodbye to her naval aviator husband on valentine's day as he has to report for duty during world war II.They make a promise to each other to be reunited no matter what and sadly the husband goes missing in action and the pregnant wife is left all alone.Every year on valentine's day the now old wife visits the railway station to keep her end of the promise and waits for her husband to return.At this point enters the tv journalist Allison, who is cynical about love and all things surrounding it to cover this woman's story and let me not say anything further, lest it might become a spoiler.
Its one of those original Hallmark tearjerker that actually pulls at your heart strings and finally is a feel good movie for all those who love the ultra romantic movies :)
Moving on to the next review, BLUE VALENTINE..........
Starring the droolworthy Ryan Gosling(of Notebook fame) and Michelle Williams this movie tells you the story "after" two people falls in love and gets married. This movie shifts between the present and past lives of the main protagonists from the time they fall in love and finally moves to the inevitable "D" word. In a last attempt to save their already failed marriage Dean(Ryan Gosling) books a room at a cheap motel to spend some quality time with his wife Cindy(Michelle Williams) where the audience comes to understand as to where this is all going to lead. This movie is a very dark one that points towards the ugly reality of "I Do's & Forever's". This movie is not for everyone...but I for one, thoroughly enjoyed the movie as reality does bite how much ever you try to deny it.
So these are my movie picks for this Valentine's day and which one would you opt for???????? :)

am actually up for both! Both sound promisingly interesting! :)
Although i will be stuck at office on V-Day...(*sob*) will make sure i watch them sometime..
since i've seen blue valentine i would definitely opt for it. it's a marvelous movie, although it doesn't have a happy ending. so the betty white movie might be more valentine's day appropriate. :)
