With The Longest Ride, Nicholas Sparks marks the third feature film adaptation of his novels with producers Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey. The author and Temple Hill producers previously teamed for the 2010 romantic drama Dear John and for 2012’s Safe Haven. A film full of rodeos and romance for 139 min. with the star-crossed love affair between Luke (Scott Eastwood), a former champion bull rider looking to make a comeback, and Sophia (Britt Robertson), a college student who is about to embark upon her dream job in New York City’s art world. As conflicting paths and ideals test their relationship, Sophia and Luke make an unexpected connection with Ira (Alan Alda), whose memories of his own decades-long romance with his beloved wife deeply inspire the young couple.
A film that makes you think about love in different style. The two parallel stories are very touching only Love matters but also involves sacrifice in order to get the reward of being the woman of your life. “Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples who have little in common, and who are separated by years and experience. Yet their lives will converge with unexpected poignancy, reminding us all that even the most difficult decisions can yield extraordinary journeys: beyond despair, beyond death, to the farthest reaches of the human heart.” Many viewers will love how they eventually came together. It’s such a beautiful story with a deep message “days are long and filled with guilt and fear when your true love is not to your side.”

Their violent hometown reunion fails to convince two brothers who have to face too much violence in their lives. However, the laws of loyalty, and the futility of violence in the shadows of the US Mexico border gang wars will show a different point form a gritty, thriller about the bonds of brotherhood. Broken Horses, the English language debut film from award winning Indian writer/director/producer Vindhu Vinod Chopra (PK, 3 IDIOTS, PARINDA) has a particular style (surreal and experimental and melodramatic) – was smooth and consistent during 100 minutes. With a well consistent starring Vincent D’Onofrio, Anton Yelchin, Chris Marquette, Maria Velverde, Sean Patrick Flanery, and Thomas Jane, the film promises an intriguing blend of genre elements such as brotherhood, complex reality of drug war in turbulent Mexican-American border and wrong choices that destroys lives, including everything that one loves. Definitely, a good film that makes a difference with the good, the bad and the ugly that sometimes our choices might have benefits or consequences.

Transgender person’s journey is not easy especially when sexual orientation subject matters with unusual grace. During 1 hr. 54 min. This awesome Australian production begins with Sixteen-year-old Billie’s reluctant path to independence is accelerated when her mother reveals plans for gender transition and their time together becomes limited to Tuesday afternoons. Filmed over the course of a year, once a week, every week (only on Tuesdays) these unique filmmaking rules bring a rare authenticity to this emotionally charged story of desire, responsibility and transformation. Directed by Sophie Hyde. Screenplay, Matthew Cormack; story, Cormack, Hyde. Camera (color, widescreen, HD), Bryan Mason; editor, Mason; music, Benjamin Speed; music supervisor, Debra Liang; production designer, Hyde; sound, Leigh Kenyon, Josh Williams, Dane Hirsinger, Will Sheridan; re-recording mixer, Pete Smith.
Despite the ending of 52 Tuesdays is really kind of a controversy. This isn’t only because it shifts its focus so completely onto Billie as to scuttle much of the emotional interlacing that Hyde had been working on for so much of the film. It also swerves the film off-course into preposterousness. However, is an urban drama very well structured with all the characters personalities, dress, and appearance, suffering with the hormonal treatment (very painfully) change and develop over a year, in real time. Definitely is a subject to think as a society.

“La Sapienza” tells a love story that develops amid architecture, tempered emotions and artistic inspiration. The title of the film refers to one of the most extraordinary projects completed by Francesco Borromini: the Church of St. Yves at in Rome. During 1 hr. 40 min. the essence of humane urbanity and the relationships involved all the characters- Alexandre (Dardennes regular Fabrizio Rongione),Lavinia (Arianna Nastro), Goffredo (Ludovico Succio).
The most interesting part of this incredible film is most of the characters don’t exchange looks and move very rigidly, like some kind of concept theatre. They talk directly to the camera, avoiding each other.
This film definitely is full of detailed costume design, captured with its appropriately bright cinematography, “La Sapienza” is a chance for Eugène Green to offer a tour of his two favorite subjects: the French language and the art of the baroque period. At the end, Green balances heart and mind as an unique film full of visual values and knowledge.
