The Perks of Being a Wallflower

June 16, 2012

Nice another book with a movie adaptation. I haven’t heard of this book yet until I saw this trailer in Youtube. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is written by American novelist Stephen Chbosky. The story is narrated by a teenager who goes by the alias of “Charlie”; he describes various scenes in his life by writing a series of letters to an anonymous person, whom he does not know personally.

This stars Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller

14 Classic Movie Wedding Scenes

June 12, 2012

As romantic as we are, it’s nice to see chick flick movies. There are a lot of movies where the theme is about weddings or movies where there is an unforgettable wedding scene.

Here are some of them:

Love Actually (2003)
This fantastic British romantic comedy proves that there is a correct way to weave multiple plotlines together and talk about love. One of the film’s first scenes is the gorgeous wedding between Juliet (Keira Knightley) and Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Peter’s friend Mark (Andrew Lincoln) plans the surprise of a lifetime when he gets a singer, choir, and band to perform “All You Need Is Love” — flash mob-style — in the balcony and congregation.

My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997)
Julia Roberts is the queen of wedding movies, but her most noteworthy performance has to be as Julianne Potter in My Best Friend’s Wedding. The chain-smoking, self-absorbed food critic does everything possible to destroy the wedding of her best friend Michael (Dermot Mulroney) to the peppy Kimmy (Cameron Diaz) — from indulging in some seriously cringe-worthy karaoke to kissing the groom.

But in the end she makes the most selfless decision of all and brings Michael and Kim back together to have a breathtaking wedding. The ceremony is nice, but what’s most memorable is Julianne’s maid-of-honor toast, when she allows “her song” with Michael to be the couple’s first dance (tear).

Never fear! Things end on a happy note when Julianne’s gay best friend George (Rupert Everett) shows up, and by God, there’s dancing!

The Graduate (1967)
A recent college graduate, Ben (Dustin Hoffman) starts an affair with the infamous Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), but then falls for her daughter Elaine (Katharine Ross) instead. Mrs. Robinson doesn’t take too kindly to this and practically pushes her daughter down the aisle with another suitor.

But Ben stops the wedding in the nick of time (“Elaine! Elaine!”), and the two hop a bus into the sunset … and the uncertain future.
