These Are Two Of My Favorie Things

I’ll be quite honest with you; I’m a total sucker for a good Romance movie. These are rare to find, now a days. The qualities of a good Romance are hard to come by. “What are the qualities?” You may be thinking. Well, a good Romance movie has the following:

• The first is the meet cute.  “A meet-cute is a situation in which a future romantic couple meets for the first time in a way that is considered adorable, entertaining, or amusing” (Definition off of Wikipedia.com). Every good Romance movie has one.
• Second is, as always in my book, the amazing storyline. If the movie is boring from the start, it rarely gets better.
• Last, but DEFINITELY not least, action. All good Romance movies have a knight in shinning armor or some kind of hero who must find his love, maybe even a fight to the death.

I came across all of these in the movie “Knight and Day”.

I was fast asleep when I heard the sound of gunshots, screams, and Tom Cruise counting to three coming from the living room.

My mom told me what the movie was and I sat down and joined her. I was instantly taken in—probably because I love the trill an action movie can give me. Unfortunately, I missed the beginning, which I watched today.

“Knight and Day” is about June Havens (Cameron Diaz) who meets Roy Miller (Tom Cruise), a super-spy gone rouge, on a nearly empty flight to Kansas City. Roy realizes that she is no longer safe and that she must join him on his mission to find Simon Feck (Paul Dano).

I love this movie. It’s one of my personal favorites right up there with “Source Code” and “Captain America: The First Avenger”. “Knight and Day” is rated ‘PG-13’ because of violence and language. Action/Romance movie lovers would enjoy this movie, though I think everyone should watch it.

NOTES FROM CRYSTAL: Next week I am starting a special 7 day blog post where I will be posting a new movie every day for a week. What the movies will be is a surprise! I’m excited; I hope you are, too! J
