The Battle of the Nicholas Sparks novel-based movies


As an avid Nicholas Sparks reader, I am usually extremely disappointed by the movie renditions that come about what it is time to make more money. I recently watched both Dear John and The Last Song (which I read, of course) as they came out on DVD. I was thoroughly disappointed with Dear John. I am a fan of Channing Tatum, but I just wish he could break away from the "ghetto-ness" that he seems to portray throughout every single film he has starred in. It worked for Step Up, but it doesn't for Dear John. As for The Last Song, no it did not follow the book entirely but I think it got the main concepts in there and Miley seemed to do a fair job as Ronnie. I was most impressed with Liam as Will, totally as I pictured him in the book.
Overall, The Last Song>Dear John.

Minutes have passed

Wow, it has been quite awhile since I have updated this thing. Many things have changed since February. My room is now purple, I changed my major & minor again (shocker), spontaneously adopted a cat whose name is Jasey Rae in honor of the All Time Low song and I even changed my signature scent. Oh man, I'm such a loser. Not much has changed at all, actually. Just counting the days until I obtain my Bachelor's Degree and move to The City! I really want to start writing and designing more. I feel like I have good/different ideas but I'm not sure if anyone else would give a shit. I guess we'll see. Soooo much love to whoever reads this out there, you're awesome!
