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.

The Vow


Here's a beautiful love story inspired by a real couple who experienced the similar twist of fate.  A young, lucky in love couple Paige (Rachel McAdams) and Leo (Channing Tatum) who have a terrible car accident that wipes the past five years of Paige's memory.  The past five years that include her meeting and falling in love with her husband.  Both Leo and Paige are devastated by her injury, Paige feels scared and unsure about what her current life has presented to her.  She is an artist and free spirit, the exact opposite of the law student and apple of her parents' eye that she remembers.  She also remembers being engaged to another man.  Leo is crushed by his wife's failure to remember anything about their love and their life.  He is determined to return things to normal, as soon as possible despite the apparent destructive impact that it eventually has on the couple.

Can she eventually remember how they fell in love? Or is their love doomed?  It is a beautiful love story and worth the watch.  I was drawn even more into the film because it was inspired by a real life couple and what they have endured.

I give it a 7 out of 10.

Next up is "Tower Heist."
