The Vow by: Kim & Krickitt Carpenter

This is a great book. nothing like the movie. Kim and Krickett tell their story. (or more like Kim because Krickett can't remember anything)
2 months after Kim and Krickett got married they were in a terrible car accident. Krickett's hospital bills was 200 000 dollars. She lost about 5 years of her memory. to this day she still can't remember. She had no idea who Kim was. They had to fall in love all over again. Krickett was a completely different person after the accident.
If you saw the movie, I would recommend you read this book. because it is ten times better. It's crazy that it's  a true story. How crazy would that be.

According to Greta

This is an intresting movie. Greta has decided that before the summer's out she wants to commit suicide. Greta's mother has shipped her off to her grandparents for the summer. Greta has this list of ways she wants to die and a list of things that she wants to do before she dies. Greta is bored to death so she gets a job at a local seafood place. There she meets a Julie (a boy) and they start to hang out. They fall in love. but Julie doesn't understand why she wants to kill her self until Greta's grandfather tells him that Greta's father commit suicide right in front of Greta. Julie and Greta have a big fight. Greta's mother comes to pick her up, but Greta refuses to go. in the end Greta gets her life figured out. She decides that she doesn't want to die, but she wants to live. Pretty good movie. A little dark. but good

License to Wed

This movie is very funny. Sadie and Ben decided to get married. but before they do they must go through marriage counseling with Rev. Frank. Ben believes that Rev. Frank is trying to ruin their future marriage. Ben is determined to find dirt on Rev. Frank. Sadie gets angry and all the scheming just blows up in Ben's face. Sadie calls off the wedding and goes on the honeymoon by herself. Ben follows her and ask her to forgive him. And then they have the wedding that Ben always wanted.
I enjoyed this movie, but I didn't enjoy the mockery of Christianity.   

Footlose 2012

Compared to the 1984 Footlose this was a pretty good remake. The main difference is that in the 1984 version Ren's mother is alive. in the 2011 Ren's mother has died of cancer and Ren had to go through it. I think that makes a little more sense and it gives a reason behind why Ren is so prone to be a rebel.

Ren turns the town upside down when he comes into town and doesn't understand the rules of no loud music and no dancing. Ren questions authority and goes before the town and tries and get the town to allow the kids to put on a prom. Ren uses scripture that Ariel (the pastor's daughter) gives him. Ren and Ariel have a thing for each other.

I enjoyed this movie. If you enjoy dance movies, then you will enjoy this movie. It's a great movie. I am unsure if I enjoyed the 1984 one or this one. Though I think that the 2012 one was a little better.

Wanted By: Shelley Shepard Gray

I enjoyed this book. It shows how the past catches up with you, even if you are Amish. Katie really wants to catch Jonathan's eyes, but he seems to preoccupied, until Jonathan's sister is going away and Jonathan asks Katie if she can look after her children. Katie has a hard time at first. But over the course of a few months the girls and Jonathan fall in love. Katie has to deal with other things along the way. I enjoyed it. It's interesting looking into the lives and cultures of different people.

Cutting Edge (1992)

I enjoyed this movie. They used a lot of unique camera angles. I was a little disappointed that they didn't show the skating programs, but they did show the footing on the skaters, which most skating movies do not include. Instead of getting caught up in the skating you got caught up in the characters. Moria Kelly did a great job. she truly played an ice princess. She was always distant. I would recommend that you watch this movie. It's different than the newer cutting edge.
