Anyone But You
(2023)

Funny Rom-com with spectacular scenery
Anyone but you is a great romantic movie starring Glenn Powell and Sydney Sweeney in beautiful Australia. I was completely blown away by the fun scenes starting from the opening of the film with Sydney in the bathroom, the breakfast sandwich scene in the kitchen to the airport cookie scene by getting stuck and the spider scenes. Not to mention that they were both so in character and it was so enjoyable to watch. My favorite moments were the dance scene, 'Titanic Me', love scene, and the last part where Glenn went to the Opera house to meet Sydney by helicopter. Also the soundtrack and music were amazingly incorporated in the movie. A definite watch from time to time.

Love in Tahiti
(2023)

Honest Love Story
Love in Tahiti is one of the most real, beautiful and loving film in the most spectacular scenery view of the mountains and the ocean. The story is well directed and it's a joy to watch. The characters played their roles well and I really like the location of the film. It feels romantic and sailing is my favorite thing to learn and go to Tahiti one day. There is no rush in the film and I kinda love the slow pace and the way the movie is filmed. It feels so warm and cozy to watch maybe in a sailboat. The ending was just perfectly well shot. Tahiti or French Polynesia is my favorite island to travel to.

See You on Venus
(2023)

A road trip life journey
See you on Venus is probably my top favorite rom-com movie. It is un unexpected kind of road-trip life adventure between two young people trying to figure out what's really mean to be living and enjoying every inch of time/moments. The two main actors are perfect for the roles and it was so beautiful to see on screen. Sometimes when you don't expect something to happen becomes in fact the most truest version of ourselves in a most loving way. The story is incredible and you are blown away about what's next. It is a thoughtful yet uplifting ride of what life can offer and it flows just right. Virginia and Alex gives all the love and you can feel that's magical sparkle. The scenery of the film in Spain was like a photograph and vintage as well as the music score was captivating.

True Spirit
(2023)

A true sailing story
True spirit is a remarkable adventure, daring, sailing journey that moved me to tears, but at the same time, a real uplifting joy to watch. The film navigates the dream of a sailor of circumnavigating the world by the power of the wind. Jessica Watson is a strong young woman to have stayed at sea for 21o days without any assistance and been able to return home to Australia. The movie was well directed with some awesome music soundtrack. Teagan Croft plays Jessica as a 16 year old nicely and the characters were great in their roles. Also, the beginning part of the movie shows a little bit of Lenny from Sailing La Vagabonde.

The Devil Wears Prada
(2006)

Elegant movie
Anne Hathaway is a great actress as she portrays a smart, humble, down to earth, simple, young woman about to enter the working life. She is magnificent alongside Meryl Streep. I really enjoys a late night watch movie and Anne is simply elegant and charismatic actress. It was a flow state movie and I really like the change of clothing lifestyle from the beginning to the end. Anne absolutely nailed the role and become more confident and moving forward in her life trying to juggle a work-life balance. For me, the best part of the movie was the filming scene in the city where she appears with different clothing style in the streets. It really looks like a New York scenery.

Holiday in the Vineyards
(2023)

Joyful movie to watch
The movie is a unique storyline staring Josh Swickard. Beautiful dance scenes between the actors. Watch it only because of Josh Swickard, funny, talented, handsome, and loving. He really looks like a prince and a gentleman. Always nice to watch him on screen and portrays different characters. It's a feel good Christmas movie on a Netflix that can be watch from time to time. Josh is really good looking and athletic and has a soft voice. He really makes the ideal actor in this generation. Lauren and Josh are real life actors and always a happy couple. I love the scenes where Josh does the renovation of the house.

A Tourist's Guide to Love
(2023)

Adventurous movie
The movie is filled with adventures, voyage, beautiful scenery of Vietnam, authentic and loving songs that captivates you from start to finish. The actors have done a great job and it really feels warm and cozy to watch it at night. Additionally, the movie is fun to watch and it brings originality and passion for travel and love at the end. There is a real connection to the beauty of the film and both lead actors have great chemistry together. It is a pure joy to watch especially for me who love travelling and discover new places, and try new things. It is a true eye opener and the film is beautifully well produced. Highly recommend.

A Beautiful Life
(2023)

Favorite romantic & musical movie
A beautiful life is a beautiful love story between Elliot and Lily about giving chances to each other through their passion for music. A really well written script line that captures the essence of the movie. The story is a flow state, moving and heartwarming love letter, navigating the lives of Elliot and Lily where they finally fall in love. The scenery and location were nicely shot. The actors did a phenomenal job and even some scenes brought me to tears as to how their love was so authentic, loving, and caring. Also, the songs performed by Christopher were true to himself. It was a joy to listen to his music and every time he begins to sing is mesmerizing. I was in awe of the moments he started singing with Lily and the time they spend together to compose the lyrics. I highly recommend to watch on Netflix from time to time.

New Year's Eve
(2011)

Best New Year Eve's movie to watch
New Years Eve is probably one of the best movie to watch every end of year. It navigates life, love and laughter in its fullest form. Really enjoyable , nice feel good movie, cozy night with hot chocolate and cookies or even ice cream. Just saying. The casting is superb with great actors, namely Zac Efron, Katherine Heigl, Josh Duhamel, and so much more. The storyline, the music made it the jackpot. The film is so well written, scripted, directed, performances and the musical aspects bring the joyful moments to cherish and love every moment during the ending year to begin the next one. It's very authentic, original script and.it's like no other film. I highly recommend the film.

The Best of Me
(2014)

Never gets old movie!
The Best of Me is one of my favorite Nicholas Sparks movie. Liana Liberato and Luke Bracey are great actors and have a great chemistry together as well as James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan. Every time I get to rewatch the film, it always bring me to the first time I saw it. I really love the story about faith, destiny, first and forever love. The landscapes, music, storytelling was amazing. It truly about finding the one true love and navigates life together along with the ups and down. In the end, it is love that really matters and how they care for each other so much - " Where it was you that was best for me". Highly recommend.

Purple Hearts
(2022)

My Favorite romantic movie EVER!
Purple Hearts really captures my heart so much. Always and forever. Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine bring all the feels with an awesome chemistry between them. A feel warmed, emotional, sentimental and intimate moments that captures my breath away. Cassie and Luke both showcases their true, beautiful and flawless love for each other despite their different personalities and vulnerabilities. For one minute, you might think that Sofia and Nicholas began to fall in love with each other. One blue and one red love story. They both appear to care for each other. For me, it was such a loving and caring way of being true to oneself. The story was well written and moving at the same time. By the way, Sofia wears many hats as she composed all the songs plus the soundtrack in the movie. I like how the film goes along with the featuring music, performances and live shows. The ending was worth it with the happy ending and them being reunited to form a couple. I would completely rewatch it from time to time. The songs have been on my mind everyday since I watch it. Can't get enough. Risk nothing gain nothing.

Beauty and the Beast
(2017)

Favorite remake Disney movie!
Beauty and the beast was one of my favorite animated Disney movie from my childhood memories. I still very much enjoyed this remake version, especially with Emma Watson as Belle. It was captivating, full of magic and musically well performed. Emma delivers true character and personality, bringing her own touch of authenticity, bravest, strongest and goodness to the film. The ending was lovely when Belle sees Bête in real. Truly recommend.

Along for the Ride
(2022)

Nice feel-good young adults movie
Along for the ride was a real life-feeling young adults movie. I really enjoyed watching the film. It showcases passion, enthusiasm and the need/want to do/create something for oneself. It also navigates what you truly love in life, learning/trying new things and the people you meet along the way. Eli and Auden were great characters and it reflects how they try to understand themselves. Emma Pasarow portrayed Auden so well. I highly recommend.

Soul Surfer
(2011)

Great uplifting true story.
This film is an incredible true story. AnnaSophia Robb portrayed Bethany Hamilton perfectly and the storyline was well-written and directed with awesome music. I very much love the movie and it showcases passion for surf, love, friendships and life in general. Also, overcoming fears in order to continue doing what you truly love most. A pleasant family film to watch.

Top Gun: Maverick
(2022)

My best cinema movie of all time!
Top Gun:Maverick is by far my best cinematic experience movie ever. I absolutely love watching it on a big screen with an epic soundtrack. Hans Zimmer and Lady Gaga did a great job mastering the music. It really brings all the feels and mind-blowing action packed film with a flow state pace for a sequel. The casting was brillant despite all the hard training they went through. All the actors played their roles perfectly. Tom Cruise and Jennifer Connelly were superb in their roles and it's really nice to see them together on screen. From start to finish, the film was really well written considering the first Top Gun(1986), and shot with real Air Force/Navy planes(Non CGI) F-18. The movie keeps you tight to your seat as you want to know what's going to happen next. I guess this might be the best movie of 2022 I've ever watched in cinema. It pushes you off the limits and urges you to step outside of your comfort zone. You learn a lot from the movie and it catches my breath away. An adrenaline-fueled ride of a movie. Highly recommend to watch in cinema. Don't think, just do.

Mission: Impossible II
(2000)

Favorite MI:2 franchise
MI:2 is probably one of my favorite of all Mission Impossible sequels. Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton delivers great characters together. The opening scene of the mountain climb might be one of my favorite start of the movie where Tom is highly confident in his stunts and has no fear at all. The best scene for me is when Ethan is planning to save Nyah, but things got completed. At the same moment, Hans Zimmer soundtrack "injection" comes along, and this scene was just so perfect. Thandie brings her character/ personality into play with the expressions and good performance. It was a masterpiece. Definitely worth watching. Great 2000's movie.

Rescued by Ruby
(2022)

A very heartwarming film
From the moment, I saw that Grant Gustin was doing a Netflix original movie, I instantly knew it was going to be worth it. He portrays his character so well, being true to himself, especially with Ruby/Bear, the dog. He is so incredibly talented and some scenes were bringing me to tears. It's so heartwarming and a feel-good film. I honestly enjoyed every bit of the film and I would definitely rewatch it from time to time. Overall, the casts played extremely well their characters, especially Grant Gustin. He is such a nice guy and it really feels amazing to see him plays a great role and it also shows how much he truly loves dogs. I highly recommend this movie.

A Very Merry Bridesmaid
(2021)

Feel good christmassy film
It was a real and full of heart movie. Emily Osment and Casey Deidrik played perfectly and have great chemistry together. I truly enjoyed this Christmas movie as it was fun and feel good film. The storyline was well scripted and Emily played astonishingly a brillant young woman starting in their 30s. Definitely a good watch.

Ramona and Beezus
(2010)

Hilarious and feel-good movie!
Ramona & Beezus is a great fun family movie. Joey King is superb playing Ramona and Selena Gomez is always great at portraying the role of a sister. I truly enjoyed the movie and the soundtracks and music fit very well. Even after 10 years I still watch the film. So good and it brings so many memories back then.

Poseidon
(2006)

Nice ocean wave boat movie with a twist!
Poseidon is one of my second best movie to Titanic with regards to ships. I really enjoy the storyline and the characters were great in their roles. A must rewatch movie from time to time.

August Rush
(2007)

Astonishingly brilliant movie
From the moment I saw the trailer, I knew that August Rush would be a great movie to watch and rewatch again. Jonathan Rys Meyers, Keri Russell and Freddie Highmore are great characters for this movie and they fit perfectly. I love the songs, the special authentic moments and the way the movie start to finish. The chemistry between Lyla Novacek and Louis was incredible, very smooth, loving and mesmerizing. The ending was amazing with the background music in Central Park. Even though, I would have loved if it continues a little bit more. Definitely to rewatch using a projector in an outdoor location.

2 Hearts
(2020)

Enjoy every inch of life
2 hearts remind us of being passionate in life and to love every single moment. Time is everything. Jacob Elordi portrays an amazing young man living fully and to have no regrets. He really brings the goodness in the movie as well as Tiera Skovbye. I really very much enjoy watching the film. Such a nice feel good and unexpected genre. I'd definitely rewatch it from time to time.

The World We Make
(2019)

A must watch movie
Wow. I'm really glad I got to watch it. Finally! It's a really nice film about what you really love/ cares in life. Dream big. The actors are great in their roles. It's a feel good movie with nice music. Highly recommend.

Bridgerton
(2020)

A beautiful love story in the early 19th century
At first glance, I didn't expect Bridgerton to be so well directed. It was beyond my expectations. The choice of casting is excellent. Phoebe and Regé are great together, and they really delivers authenticity and realness in their characters as Simon and Daphné. Their British accents empowers the scenes. For me, it was their entrance leading them to their first dance as they form an attachment, which really catches my breath away. The decor, the fireworks were mesmerizingly epic. The music and the soundtrack really comes along very smoothly and captivating. Even the script was astonishingly well-written and you completely felt emerged into the show. At the end of the day, it's a really beautiful love story based on true feelings, conversations, and the way Phoebe and Regé portrays their characters. For one minute, you might feel like they skip their characters to reveal their true own personalities and it really enjoyable and unique to see. You learn what's really important in life, the little things, details that really matters. In season 2, Anthony and Kate were perfect for each other. I truly much enjoyed watching them playing their characters so well. They bring so much love, humour, great conversations and it was a real flow of state from start to finish. Their first meet up on horses were great, going to the balls, dancing, the wedding scene, to the end bouquet finale was just fantastic. The music definitely plays along well. Also, Eloise and Theo were lovely. I think the upcoming seasons are going to be marvelous too.

Outer Banks
(2020)

My favorite TV-show so far
Outer banks completely blown my mind away. I am highly surprised at how good it is. The story line is original, captivating and flowing. At the same time, the actors are incredibly awesome in their roles. They portrayed their characters so well and bring a touch of their own authenticity as well. Chase stokes and Madelyne clinne have great chemistry together and have a great sense of humor. It's really enjoyable to watch. All the mysteries and treasure hunts clues keep you binge watching the show. I truly love obx..
