Romance is one of the things that has kept cinema alive. There is
something about love that keeps us glued to this ethereal genre. In
2013, we will see many new colors of romance. Here is the list of the
top10.
1 / Upside Down
Kirsten Dunst in back in some romantic action. In a science fiction
setup of the forever enmity between the rich and the poor, a man is
searching for his love, whom he had been separated in his early youth.
The plot is not very interesting, but the fact that the rich always walk
the ceiling and the poor have to walk the earth, instill a poetic sense
to this romance.
2 / The Great Gatsby
Again a tale of the rich and the poor. A common fellow takes a close
observation to the life and times of his filthy rich neighbor. There is
drama, fatal passion, dark business secrets, money, lavish lifestyle and
everything else that you may expect. With Leonardo DiCaprio, you know
there is a treat waiting for your eyes.
3/ Before Midnight
Does the name sound like something you have seen before? Yes, the
movie is the sequel to Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. The plot is
focused on the struggle in career and relationships. Jesse and Celine
are married with twin daughters and live happily in Paris. However, the
Jesse is not able to maintain a good relationship with his son born of
his ex-wife living in Chicago. All of them go on a trip to Greece and
that is where the drama follows.
4/ About Time
Have you ever felt the charm of a first meeting? You must have and
surely you know that first meetings are the foundation for your
relationships. In this movie, a boy with special powers to travel in
time meets his love again and again to make it the perfect beginning and
to mend their relationship. Will it be enough? The movie will portray
the tenderest human emotions in the most attractive way and you will be
left with a smile at the end.
5/ The Third Person
The movie is not a triangle but talks about the third person
perspective of three different love stories based in three different
places in the world. These three couples represent the beginning, the
maturity and the struggle at the end of love. This is truly one movie
that looks at love from different angles and tries to explain it all
through three couples. The pot is as interesting as the start cast and
this movie is worth a watch.
6/ Beautiful Creatures
The whole point concept of the movie is basically Twilight in the
mirror. The girl, Lena has recently moved in a new southern town and she
is romantically involved with a guy Ethan. Lena is actually a ‘Caster’
with supernatural powers and her family is pretty orthodox to let their
daughter roam around town with a normal human. Lena must now decide
which way she wants the wind to blow.
7/ Warm Bodies
it seems that the Twilight Saga has brought about a change in girl’s
perspective of loving people other than humans. This movie is about a
zombie apocalypse. A young zombie has eaten the brain of a lad to boost
his memory (what???). As far as the memory goes, he is also falls in
love with the girlfriend of his victim and is now saving her from his
zombie brethren. That sounds interesting but we are still not able to
figure out why would a girl love a zombie? To answer the question for
us, watch this movie.
8/ Safe Haven
There is something pretty typical about movies Nicholas Sparks’s
novels that make for a very nice love story. There is a new woman in
North Carolina who has a very dark and ugly past to hide. She falls in
love with a store owners and bonds perfectly with his family of two
children. When things seem to go all fine, there is a troubled past that
starts featuring and the women finds her safe haven in love, in spite
of all the obvious risks.
9/ Are We Officially dating?
The question is as strange as it gets but this movie wishes to pull
it off in a nice way. Three friends decide to stay single for reasons
not revealed and they obviously fall in love just at the wrong time. Zac
Efron looks more like ‘look at me, I am a man not teen boy’ and we
would like to see how far has he been able to come really.
10/ Can A Song Save Your Life?
Another romantic movie that asks a question. Two lovers move to New
York to pursue a musical career together but the man, played by real
life rockstar Adam Levine, leaves Keira Knightly for a solo career.
Deserted and shattered, when she gathers up some courage, she is seen by
Mark Ruffalo (the Hulk!!) who plays a record producer. Will they come
together to save each other’s careers and life
