I think that my favourite thing about owning a copy of this film is threatening my male friends that I'm going to make them watch it. In a nutshell, it is a love story about two people - Kate Forster (Sandra Bullock) and Alex Wyler (Keanu Reaves). It is essentially about two people meeting and falling in love. Oh, apart from they ...  Read the complete review

Before I watched this film I had read a few newspaper reviews that gave it a very poor rating, so was not that bothered about watching it, but there was nothing else on so I watched it. I was gutted that I did not record it. This was an amazingly beaufiful flim, with a bit of a preposterous premise (maybe this was why they critisised ...  Read the complete review

A Power-House Film I am quite a fan of Sandra Bullock films, and I must admit to Speed and Miss Congeniality being 2 of my favourite films to sit back and enjoy!

I first heard of The Lake House when I was reading this list of good korean romantic movies. Il Mare was there, the korean film that The Lakehouse is based upon. I was interested in Il Mare but never got a chance to watch it. I did however, got to watch The Lake House when it was shown in HBO Asia. I watched it and almost always missed it, but got ...  Read the complete review

Alex: "Pick a place. I'll be there, I promise." So, if you could send letters back in time to the guy you loved, and he the other way, would you spend your time planting cherry trees (that can grow twenty feet in two years) on that information to keep your lover dry in their lunch break or would you insist on the winning ...  Read the complete review

Oh where to start!! I really wanted to see this for ages. I like chick flicks, I like Sandra Bullock, I even quite like the, always slightly wooden, Keanu Reeves. So why did I hate this film so much? To start I found the character of Kate Forster so bloody miserable, there was no humour in her at all, no warmth I found it hard to buy anyone ...  Read the complete review
