What kind of Blog is this?

I decided to combine two activities, getting in shape on the elliptical machine (hence the title of the blog) and watching movies on my tablet device. What a perfect world! I am a really big fan of the movies and love all genres. You will see discussions on Sci-Fi, Horror, Historical, Romance, Comedy, Drama, Classics, and so on. Watching a movie instantly makes the hour spent working out simply fly by! I have decided to watch movies that I am interested in and then discuss how I enjoyed the movie. Hard to really call it a review seeing that most of the movies have already been released nationally. I will rate each on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being the best). Most of the movies that I discuss will be movies that appear on Cable TV. So if you were hesitant about watching a particular movie, you can utilize my commentary before you sit down and watch.

Wake


Meet Carys (Bijou Phillips).... a young woman, obsessed with feeling some type of emotion after struggling to cope with the death of her sister, who goes to stranger's funerals to see if she can actually cry.  She attends the funeral of a young woman named Anna and after hearing the woman's mother speak, she begins to move out of the pew, then she hears the voice of a charming and handsome young man.  He speaks of the true spirit of Anna and Carys is instantly drawn back in, she actually feels some emotion and cries.  What does this mean? After the service she views the body and an unfortunate incident happens.  During this occurrence she comes face to face with the handsome, young man who introduces himself as Tyler (Ian Somerhalder).  She eventually finds out that he is the fiance of Anna.


But they are strangely drawn to each other, she has not told him the truth about why she was at the funeral and she suspects that the handsome Tyler actually had something to do with Anna's death.  Could everything really be too good to be true? Torn between her emotions and logic, her heart and her brain, what will happen with every one's secrets finally come out? It is a cute and quirky movie, that I truly enjoyed.  


I give it a 7 out of 10.


Next up is "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo."
