Nights in Rodanthe

~ Spotted this gem on Youtube and had to watch it again for old times sake. I watched this several years ago but couldn't remember the entire story or what happened at the end. I know, my memory of most movies I've seen before is horrible. However, the movie features two of my favorite actors.

Nights in Rodanthe is a 2008 American romantic drama film. It is an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' 2002 novel of the same name. The film stars Richard Gere and Diane Lane in their third screen collaboration after The Cotton Club (1984) and Unfaithful (2002).

It was filmed in the small seaside village of Rodanthe, the northernmost village of the inhabited areas of Hatteras Island as well as North Topsail Beach, North Carolina.

"When Adrienne Willis (Diane Lane) arrives at the coastal town of Rodanthe, N.C., her life is in chaos. There, she hopes to sort through the trouble surrounding her, while tending a friend's inn for the weekend. The only guest at the inn is Dr. Paul Flanner (Richard Gere), a man tormented by a crisis of conscience. As a storm approaches the coast, Paul and Adrienne find comfort and a life-changing romance."

THE WATCHERS | Official Trailer

~ I was so excited when I saw that this book was being made into a movie! I read The Watchers by A.M. Shine, a year or two ago and even then thought it would make such a good movie. Of course, I will have to wait for it to appear on a streaming service to rent but it will be worth the wait. If you haven't read the book yet, I would highly recommend it. If you're like me and love any creepy, scary story about someone's car breaking down in the middle of the woods, frightening creatures that live in those woods, and surviving the horrors within it, you will love this tale.

Practical Magic

~ Last night, I rewatched Practical Magic. It's been some years since I've watched this movie so I forgot what it was about. I love the actresses in this film, particularly Sandra Bullock who plays Sally. I love the whole witchy vibe here and the scenes are so magical and gorgeous such as the room with all of the herbs, the Victorian home they live in, the potion making, the herbal shampoo store in town, etc... So, can you tell that I'm ready for Fall and Halloween to arrive?

This is actually the paperback book 25th Anniversary Edition but I thought it just looked so cool.
