5 Favorite On-Screen Couple That Should Reunite In A Movie

In romantic movies, there should be a strong chemistry between the lead characters that will/are in love. But there are some couple on-screen that you just love, whether because their natural being with each other or they just clicked. And you would definitely go in line buying the movie tickets for their next movie, if it’s happening. The connection is that good to make you fond of them as couple.

It’s save to say that if behind the camera they do enjoy being with each other, then it will appear to their performance on-screen. Keanu Reeves reunite with Sandra Bullock in The Lake House after Speed, and Julia Roberts and Richard Gere meet again in Runaway Bride after Pretty Woman. Though it’s not the only factor to make a movie great, but chemistry does make a movie more enjoyable.

Hi all. How’s your weekend? Managed to watch one impressive movie, but I’ll review it to you guys later. It’s Monday and time to start the week with My Movie Influence. Here’s a little description of the feature :

Soundtrack Compilation #12 : The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) & 127 Hours (2010)

It’s the 14th, time to share some good soundtrack. No new soundtrack interests me. So I turn to the not-so-new but still great. Although there are mixed reviews about The Twilight Saga, there’s no doubt that the series have its own soundtrack character and usually there’s about 3-4 tracks that I thought are worth listening. Skipping back before Breaking Dawn and Eclipse, there’s New Moon. It was Alexandra Patsavas, the composer of Twilight series, who chose these excellent music. I have them before, but just couple of weeks ago I re-heard Lykke Li’s Possibility and thought I should re-listen the soundtrack of New Moon. Check out some other tracks that are worth listening for.
