Plot:

A cynical radio host is banished to Colorado, where he has an on-air spat with a hopeless romantic. Soon, their antagonistic relationship sparks the interest of the whole town.

Review:

Now this is more like it. After the stinker yesterday I’m glad I was able to find one more in line with what I wanted. Meaning there was actually a story and talking and it wasn’t just music playing while they did stuff. This also proves that Haylie Duff was not the issue with the last movie.

Alright, so what did we have?

A “bad boy” that just needed a good woman to turn him around, check.

A recently deceased parent, check.

A love triangle, kind of check. There was another dude in the picture, but he was so clearly a fall back that even he knew it and didn’t seem that upset not to get the girl. I kind of want him to have a spin off movie because he was nice.

So Pepper, Tilky Jones, did this things twice where he would scoot close to Haylie Duff and I don’t know why but it was so sweet and romantic. He was close to her, but not touching her, I don’t know why I noticed it but it stood out. Maybe because I didn’t feel like their relationship, the first time he did it, was at that point, but I don’t know I thought it was kind of romantic. His complete focus was on her but he wasn’t forcing himself on her.

Anyway, cute movie, it washed the taste of the last one out of my brain.

Nicholas Gonzalez

Mark Famiglietti

Plot:

With her California hometown in the rear-view mirror, Belle heads north on business to facilitate the estate sale of a mansion.

Review:

I was only able to get through two thirds of this movie before I had to bail. It was not good. Most of it was just shots of them doing things with instrumental music playing in the background. We watched the male lead run without his shirt on a lot and the female lead pretend to type on her laptop. It was so bad. There was almost no dialog and what was there was bad too. Do not recommend.
