Author John Green is someone you may not know by name (unless you happen to be under the age of 20), but you probably know his work pretty well. You see, Green has carved this niche for himself in the publishing world as the go-to guy for quality, Ya romance. And in Hollywood, he’s known as the guy who gave the world “The Fault in Our Stars.” So, basically, much like Nicolas Sparks had a run a decade ago as the author of romance novels that get instantly turned into film/TV adaptations, Green is that guy for the Millenials.

Based upon Anna Todd’s novel–which itself has been described as a work of One Direction fan fiction–After is a mild entry into the good girl takes a walk on the wild side genre that’s been the basis for countless teen romances, thrillers, and Nicolas Sparks romantic dramas. Jenny Gage, the director of the admired All This Panic–a film about the internal lives of teenage girls battling dysfunctional families, uncertain living conditions, and the general anxiety of growing up and going to college–is certainly an interesting choice to direct After, although Catherine Breillat would have been an inspired one.
Josephine Langford stars as Tessa Young, a freshman attending a generic college in the suburbs of a major North American city who leaves behind protective mother Carol (Selma Blair) and high school senior boyfriend Noah (Dylan Arnold). She’s paired in a dorm with bisexual hipster Steph (Khadijha Red Thunder) who,...

From a romance novel by Charles Martin, The Mountain Between Us is old-fashioned Hollywood melodrama, a survival story that touches on themes of love, tragedy, and the kindness of strangers. It’s also old-fashioned dumb, with eye-rolling dialog, a dreary pace, and a general lack of logic leaving the audience, like its characters, to trudge aimlessly across a vast snowy tundra. Guys: This weekend do not let your girlfriends drag you to this instead of Blade Runner 2049!
Kate Winslet and Idris Elba star in The Mountain Between Us as a pair of travelers, strangers to each other, stranded at the Boise, Idaho airport thanks to an impending storm. Alex (Winslet) is a celebrated freelance photographer whose wedding is the next day. Ben (Elba) is a celebrated neurosurgeon scheduled to perform an operation on a ten-year old the next day. It’s like they are the only ones there with good reason to get home!

Within the first 10 minutes of Peter Chelsom’s ambitious romantic sci-fi The Space Between Us, we learn that a small collective of astronauts are relocating to Mars to begin a new life for mankind. Then we find out the captain of the aircraft is pregnant. Then she has a baby, on Mars, and then she dies. This complex series of events is overwhelming, and happens before we’ve even had time to settle into our seats, and sadly, it’s a sign of things to come, as a convoluted endeavour that vies to fit far too much in to its already protracted running time.
Fast forward 16 years and the baby that was born is now a curious teenager called Gardner (Asa Butterfield), who has been denied a trip to Earth his entire life for his bones are too brittle to last the seven month journey. His birth...

One day, Sherwin (David Oyelowo) receives a call informing him that his wife, Fiona, was killed in a car accident. Devastated, Sherwin travels to Maine to see Fiona’s mother, Lucinda (Dianne Wiest), a stern woman he’s never met and who’s dying of cancer. We learn that Fiona and Lucinda shared a strained relationship, their last visit together having been particularly unpleasant. As the process of mourning plays out for Sherwin, he spends a few days puttering around Lucinda’s cottage with Ann (Rosie Perez), the old woman’s live-in nurse. Emotionally distant and light on plot, Five Nights In Maine is the sparse and ultimately underwhelming story of how all of this goes.
It’s a film with sincerely admirable intentions, a weepy, yet uplifting indie drama that employs a thoughtful and meditative visual approach. There’s nothing wrong with quiet stories about small reactions and even smaller revelations,...

With only a few features under his belt, Derek Cianfrance has already established himself as one of the most raw, poetic, and promising directors currently sitting in the chair, both as an improviser and careful planner. His next feature is an initially odd choice at first glance, a sweeping romance with a title that both accurately states the poeticism of the talent that is paired with the material, yet also conjures images of a Nicolas Sparks adaptation. A closer look demands the former thought as the thunderous talent on display is considered.
The Light Between Oceans stars Michael Fassbender — whose own raw genius is on full display in the first trailer — Alicia Vikander, and Rachel Wesiz. Then, there’s cinematographer Adam Arkapaw, who lensed the recent Macbeth, the entire first season of True Detective, and Snowtown. This is all topped of course by Cianfrance, who penned this adaptation from a bestselling novel himself.

Okay, let's be honest - we love Nicolas Sparks' movies as much as the next sappy, hopeless romantic. And given the fact that the The Choice will be Sparks' 11th novel turned film, we're guessing we'll be seeing a lot more of his signature romantic tragedies set against a Carolina backdrop hitting the big screen. And we couldn't be happier. So, in celebration of The Choice, we retitled the movie of the first 10 Nicholas Sparks movies to give a more honest...
