A summer of romance for a couple of teens ends when the girl must go back to her country to attend school. A change of plans happens and the girl surprisingly gets enrolled in the high school where her summer love is and things are not quite peachy anymore.
This is a classic movie that I have probably seen over 50 times. First off it stars my favorite actor of all time, John Travolta and it is such a cute story of 2 lovers from different cultures and what they go through to stay together. If you have never seen this movie then I suggest you watch this. A comedy filled with some good music and a romantic tale of young love. A classic for all time and will never die.
This movie just became available on Blu-Ray Dvd. My rating for this movie is a 10.

Starring: Jamie Foxx, Robert Downey Jr., Meggan Anderson, Halbert Bernal, Matt Besser, Troy Blendell, Ingrid Coree
The movie is about a news reporter who befriends a homeless man that is a trained musician from Julliard that hopes one day he will play at Walt Disney Concert Hall. The reporter tries to help the homeless man by getting him back on his feet and attempting to make his dreams come true.
This movie is based on a true story and it is a very uplifting and a heartfelt one. Jamie Fox plays the mentally challenged violinist and does an outstanding job. Robert Downey is the news reporter who tries and help him and gives a fine performance. Good story, poignant and with moments of inventiveness. Well worth a watch. I give it a rating of a 7.

Starring: Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus, Emily Osment, Jason Earles, Mitchell Musso, Lucas Till, Barry Bostwick and Vanessa Williams
In the last year or so Miley Cyrus has become one of the most popular teen stars stemming from her hit tv show Hannah Montana. Just 16 years old and Miley has made more money than her country singing father Billy Ray. Her latest the animated film Bolt in which she is the voice of Penny has grossed over 114 million at the box office and I would bet that this movie will probably do as well if not better than that one.
This movie will feature 14 brand new songs and a special appearance by Taylor Swift. Based off of the hit Disney channel television show I suspect that amongst the younger crowd this is a highly anticipated movie release. The movie has a runtime of 102 minutes and opens in theaters on Friday April 10th.
I am not really a fan of Miley or Hannah Montana but after viewing the trailer it looks like it will be a cute little family oriented film that I would probably enjoy.
