Summary: Now read this article to get the list of Leonardo DiCaprio classic movies. Do you want to know how to backup them on your PC/Mac or some portable devices? This article will give you the clear answers.

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the greatest actors of our time. He has appeared in more than 30 movies, the latest being The Great Gatsby. He also stars in The Wolf Of Wall Street, which is completed and scheduled for release in 2014.

Whether he is playing the lovesick artist Jack Dawson in Titanic, the great Howard Hughes in The Aviator or an elusive impersonator in Catch Me If You Can, Leonardo DiCaprio has played a number of different roles, and has definitely not fallen into the stereotype fold.

With some great performances by him in some of his earlier movies, like Titanicand What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and more violent roles in later movies like The Departed and Blood Diamond, pretty much everyone loves at least one Leonardo DiCaprio movie, if not most of them.

On this page you can see what I consider to be the finest movies that Leonardo DiCaprio has appeared in. You can also buy them on DVD or Blu-ray from Amazon.com, and also find Leonardo DiCaprio collectibles including signed photographs and other memorabilia.

Leonardo DiCaprio Top 15 Movies

#1: Titanic

Titanic is regarded by some as one of the greatest love stories ever produced for the silver screen and yet it is hated by others.

This 1997 movie was the brainchild of director James Cameron and tells the story of the sinking of the largest and grandest ship of it's time, the Titanic, on it's maiden voyage from Southampton to new York in April 1912.

The story is told through the eyes of one of the survivors, and is expertly cast, including Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Maggie Smith, Kathy Bates, Bill Paxton and Billy Zane

#2: Blood Diamond

#3: Inception

#4: Shutter Island



#5: The Departed

‘Frozen’ Reclaims Top Spot in Home Video Charts

A surge of Easter shopping elevated several family titles in the home video sales arena for the week ending April 20, with Disney’s megahit “Frozen” returning to the top spot for the fourth time in five weeks. The animated film topped Nielsen VideoScan’s First Alert sales chart, which tracks overall DVD and Blu-ray Disc combined sales, and Nielsen’s dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart for three consecutive weeks upon its debut a month ago before being displaced by Warner’s “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” for a week.

The top new release, Universal’s “Ride Along,” debuted at No. 2 on First Alert and No. 3 on the Blu-ray chart, where “Smaug” dropped a slot to No. 2.

Another new release from Universal, the animated “The Nut Job,” bowed at No. 4 on both charts, while 20th Century Fox’s Ben Stiller comedy “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” came in at No. 6 on both charts.

Disney’s animated “The Pirate Fairy” took the No. 5 slot on both charts in its third week in stores.

Home Media Magazine’s rental chart for the week was topped by Warner’s “Grudge Match,” which was available early at Redbox kiosks rather than the usual 28-day delay for Warner titles. “Ride Along,” “Nut Job” and “Mitty” did not appear on the rental chart as they also are from studios that delay titles to kiosks for a month.
The only other new release on the rental chart was Anchor Bay’s “Philomena,” at No. 14. “Philomena” was No. 12 on the First Alert sales chart.

John Latchem is managing editor of Home Media Magazine.

The German Doctor- I measure and weigh what interests me

The German Doctor

“I measure and weigh what interests me.”

Swift shot: Based on the novel Wakolda, written by the film’s director Lucia Puenzo, The German Doctor slowly beats into a terrifying conclusion. Set in 1960 Patagonia, in the German Bariloche region, a reclusive doctor makes the acquaintance of a family rewinding their lives. Loosely based on actual events, as the facts are shrouded by mystery, the story serves as a lesson on trust and lost innocence.

Alex Brendemuhl portrays notorious Nazi doctor, Josef Mengele . . . often referred to as “The Angel of Death.” He is making his way through some treacherous roads and asks to follow a family with a young girl he becomes intrigued with, Lilith. She is very small for her age, feeble really, and he has it in his mind to help her blossom through the miracle of genetics. That would all be wonderful, if he wasn’t a complete monster. Lilith’s mother, Eva (Natalia Oreiro) and father, Enzo (Diego Peretti) are wary at first, but eventually develop separate trusts with the mysterious doctor.

This was Florencia Bado’s first film, and she plays the innocent, yet naively curious, Lilith exceptionally well. You can see her flirting with death, literally, and you aren’t ever quite sure if she knows just how dangerous her careless encounters with the doctor truly are. There is a very disturbing chemistry between the two characters that is hard to describe without seeing. It’s bone chilling.

As Mengele traipses along a web of locally hidden war criminals, he finds a way to seduce each of the main characters. Eva becomes pregnant, with twins, and he offers to help her along. To Lilith, he promises puberty. To Enzo, he even offers a contract making incredibly life like dolls that provide a creepy juxtaposition to the unnatural horrors in the film. Ultimately, Mengele is a spider, shedding his skin . . . for a time, while he tinkers around with another experiment, where Lilith’s family is his zoo.

Nora Eldoc (Elena Roger), one of the teachers at the German school, dances with death. She appears to be on to the doctor and is determined to see him captured by the Israeli intelligence network, Mossad. If you know Mengele’s fate, there are no twists in the story. Because this isn’t a Hollywood film, there are subtitles, and you are required to grasp subtlety and endure a deliberate pulse of panic.

The German Doctor is a story that will disturb you on many levels. While it is not a horror film, the story is horrific, because the events feel all to real. At least one of the characters, and history backs this, doesn’t escape the web of evil. Watch this one with the understanding that it won’t leave your soul anytime soon.

Parent Movie Review of Turbo by Southern Outdoor Cinema

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live as a snail? To take hours to simply get across the yard is a reality that Theo lives with on a daily basis. While none of the other snails in town seem to have a problem with blazing a single, slow but steady, trail across the yard, Theo refuses to settle for anything other than blazing fast speed.

Everyone deserves to be happy with their life and Theo expects nothing more, and nothing less. The only problem is that for Theo, the happiness that being able to zip from one spot to another would bring, is one that can never be…or is it? That is a question that remains on his mind through each and every passing day.

The fact that many brothers are complete opposites isn’t a surprise, especially since Chet (Theo’s brother) is exactly that. For Chet, happiness is simple because nothing would make him happier than to see his brother finally come to terms with who he really is…a slow, never-get-anywhere-fast snail. Unfortunately, Chet’s happiness is ultimately dependent on Theo’s disappointment so as it stands, neither brother will ever find true happiness.

It is absolutely amazing how even the impossible can become possible when it is least expected, and for Theo that’s exactly what happens. It happened on an ordinary day of the week (not that there were ever extraordinary days up until this day) while Theo was sluggin’ his way over to the highway to watch traffic zip on by. Somehow he manages to get a little too close to traffic, and finds himself rolling over the hood of a car (make that a very fast car) and right into the engine.

If that weren’t bad enough (or so it seemed bad at that particular moment), Theo ends up completely submerged in a luminescent liquid, only to be blown immediately out of the tailpipe. Theo chalks it up to more bad luck but doesn’t realize that his luck is about to do back-to-back, super-fast doughnuts before the day is over. You see, while submerged in the luminescent fluid (which just so happened to be nitrous oxide), Theo’s genetic code was completely altered. The fluid that he was submerged in was now running through his veins which would have Theo running, no flying, before the day was over.

So in the blink of a snail’s eye, Theo had gone from your ordinary slimy snail to your extraordinary, scarifyingly fast, blue-slimy snail. His dreams had become a reality and Theo was finally happy. However, Chet seemed to be unhappier than before Theo turned into Super Theo. Before the accident, all Chet wanted was to see Theo accept who he was…slow. Now that things have completely changed, all Chet wants is to see Theo slow the heck down and get back to normal.

The only problem is that for Theo, everything is finally normal, and the only thing that he is in a hurry to do is zip around town as quickly as possible. Well, that and to prove to his brother that even a snail’s dreams can come true. But in order to accomplish that task in full, Theo will have to make it all the way to the Indy 500 so that he can change history forever.

Positive Elements

There are several positive elements throughout the film, but the most obvious (or maybe not so obvious) would have to be the genuine love that Chet has for his little brother. This can easily be mistaken for a brother simply being a pain in the behind, especially in the beginning of the movie. In fact, the true concern that Chet has for Theo might not be noticed until closer to the end of the film.

There is another side to that positive element in that Theo genuinely cares for his big brother as well. In fact, he loves his brother so much that he would literally risk his life if it became necessary. And yes, it does become necessary when Chet gets grabbed by a very hungry crow that happens to be passing by one day. Theo takes speedy pursuit, risking it all just to save his brother.

That leads us to additional evidence of the family values shared between the brothers. As a consequence of the snatch-and-grab by the crazy crow, and the tremendously fast response by little brother, Chet and Theo end up stranded in a scary town quite a distance away from home. Once again, Chet’s genuine concern for little brother might be misunderstood, and taken, for him simply being overly sensitive about everything. The thing is, he wants nothing more than to protect little brother from anything that could be taken as a threat against him. Something about this new town seems to give Chet that uneasy feeling, and his “big brother instincts” kick in quicker than Theo can move.

While in the strange town, Theo gets to meet his human hero, Tito (a race car driver), and the two become friends. They come to realize that they have quite a few things in common and without realizing it, they help each other out tremendously. Their theory is “that is what friends are for”. Tito runs a taco stand with his brother, and they need a new idea for promoting the stand. Theo (and a few of the other snails) team up with Tito to help make that dream a reality. Teamwork is a strong theme throughout the film as well.

Another positive element is that of always striving for more, and never settling for anything less than your dreams becoming reality. They all seem to be really big on the idea that you should never give up, and should keep on trying until you succeed. Well, Theo is very big on that theory. In fact, he has a habit of hitting hypothetical brick walls which is typically followed up with him putting out 110% rather than giving up.

One of the final connecting points to this ongoing positive theme is actually initiated by Chet. In a nutshell, it runs along the lines of making the most of each day that we are given to live. Chet asks Theo, point blank, one day “What if you wake up tomorrow and your powers are gone?” It doesn’t take Theo but a second to respond with, “Then I’d better make the most of today.”

Sexual Elements

Many of the snails work in a tomato factory, and a few of them comment on one tomato in particular. They mention that, on a scale of 1-10, it is an absolute 10 (compared to other tomatoes, of course). They also blurt out, “Look at her” and “Nice curves!” Chet attracts a female snail, named Burn, who happens to enjoy racing just like little brother. Burn mentions her booty to Chet in casual conversation, and tells him that they should be a couple.

Violent Elements

The movie starts out with a very unfortunate accident between Theo and the engine of a very fast car. His trip through the engine is terribly uncomfortable looking. A jealous, fellow racing snail, named Guy, makes an attempt to strip Theo of his speed by running him over with a car. While we are on the subject of speeding cars, many of the Indy cars in the race become involved in terrible crashes.

A little boy on a Big Wheel gets very close to running Theo over. Theo has a very close encounter with the wheels of a passing car. He also sees his life pass before his eyes as he nearly gets shredded by a lawnmower one day. One of the snails gets choked and kicked in an attack by a very old woman.

The aforementioned crazy crow was actually a part of a much larger group of crazy crows who would constantly snatch snails up and carry them off to be eaten. They were looked at, by the other snails, as an unfortunate part of life that everyone would have to just deal with. Several of these crows get into a fight over Chet, but Theo zips to the rescue just in time.

Drug and Alcohol Elements

Highly caffeinated beverages are quite the problem these days, but many people compare them to a simple can of cola. Theo is originally hooked on them. He is under the impression that they can have the ability to give him super-fast speed if he drinks enough of them. There is a scene involving adults at a party who are holding brown bottles labeled “lager” in their hand.

Steroids is another problem these days among athletes. It is used to enhance their physical ability. Theo’s encounter with the nitrous can be easily compared to that of a steroid fix to enhance his much desired speed.

Conclusion

Turbo starts out on a note containing several lessons to be learned. Family, friendship and persistence are an ongoing theme throughout the film. Both brothers prove to care for the other more than they care for their own lives. It just takes a little longer to decipher Chet’s behavior, and see it for what it really is. The bottom line is that he is the big brother that anyone who has a big brother in their life should be lucky enough to have.

A strong emphasis is placed on the power of persistence. The “follow your dreams” theme is one that seems to have no end (or clear beginning for that matter). It is an attitude that pops up in Theo right from the start, and one that ends in much the same way. If there is even one, single lesson that should easily be taken from Turbo, it is that of doing whatever it takes to attain your dreams. For Theo, that meant getting up each and every time that he fell, and putting out even more effort after doing so (in order to keep from falling again).

All-in-all, Turbo is a fantastic movie that the entire family could easily enjoy together. Once you get past the tidbits of violence, there is a real gem to be found!

Oscars 2014: The best 20 actors who've never been nominated

Here is the best 20 actors who've never been nominated on Oscars 2014.
 
20. Richard Gere (1949– )


An old-school movie star and, to say the least, not the world’s most consistent actor, Gere has still been unlucky not to enjoy even one Oscar moment (where the likes of George Clooney have had a fistful). He’s not been far off lately with The Hoax and Arbitrage – it’ll come, maybe, when he finds his Wall Street.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Actor, 1990 – Top Gere is his shadiest performance, as the vicious cop in Mike Figgis’s Internal Affairs.

19. John Cusack (1966– )

Many of his films (The Grifters, Bullets over Broadway, Being John Malkovich) have been rather big hits with the Academy, but Cusack’s neurotic protagonists never quite charge to the front. You feel he’s still waiting for the signature, mid-career role that will bring him into the fold.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Supporting Actor, 1998 – There’s almost too much great ensemble work in The Thin Red Line for any one player to stand out, but Cusack’s Capt. Gaff is fatigued, watchful and invaluable.

18. Joseph Cotten (1905-94)

Is he or isn’t he trustworthy? There’s a subtle decency to most of Cotten’s work, though it can curdle into cynicism pretty fast, and his characters often get crushed by the looming failure of their dreams. Even when cast against type, as the murderous Uncle Charlie in Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt, he’s a fascinating magnet for audience faith.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Actor, 1949 – Holly Martins in The Third Man is the quintessential Cotten creation, and a man you betray at your peril.

17. Peter Lorre (1904-64)

In fairness, Lorre’s famous child murderer in Fritz Lang’s M (1931) was in Oscar’s early days, when foreign films weren’t embraced. Still, he made quite a mark in Hollywood soon after, with his unsettling cherub face, bulging eyes and ability to conjure auras of unseen depravity with just a few quick strokes.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Supporting Actor, 1941 – The cane-sporting, clearly homosexual Joel Cairo in The Maltese Falcon was an early classic among Lorre’s featured parts for Warner Bros.

16. Jim Carrey (1962– )

We needn’t pretend all of Carrey’s comic roles are nomination-worthy – The Grinch, anyone? – and he’s made a lot of dross amid the jewels. When he really digs deep, though, it’s surprising what emotional resources he finds to depict Everymen in sorry crisis, discovering the limits of what they’ve been handed.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Actor, 2004 – There were other near-misses, but Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is Carrey’s most intimate and profound leading role.


15. Steve Buscemi (1957– )

For years best-known as that weaselly guy in the films with all those other guys, Buscemi is legitimately the great American character actor of the 1990s, more or less the Elisha Cook, Jr of that era. No nominations for either? Some faces find it hard to get respect.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Supporting Actor, 1996 – William H Macy was nominated, but Buscemi’s unforgettably scuzzy Carl Showalter in Fargo should have shared the honour.

14. Jeff Daniels (1955– )

Daniels was about the only person not recognised for James L. Brooks’s Terms of Endearment (1983), and he’s managed to cruise his way though a durable Hollywood career, clowning it up here and there, supplying a bitter gravitas elsewhere, without bagging one.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Actor, 2005 – He surely came closest for Noah Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale (it's what his character, a pompous lecturer in mid-divorce, would call “the filet” of Daniels).

13. Jennifer Jason Leigh (1962– )

You go to Leigh if you want unhinged, testy, emotionally volatile. If you want Oscar nominations for your film, she’s less reliable. Maybe it’s because she’s so often abrasive and bitchy, courting our dislike? In any case, her range of tones is ridiculously dynamic, and she can be truly fearless in the right vehicle.

MOST ROBBED FOR: Actress, 1995 – In the underseen country-and-western drama Georgia, Mare Winningham deserved her nod as the “nice” sister, but Leigh was sensational as the disintegrating star.

12. Ann Miller (1923-2004)

Song-and-dance legend Miller had the darnedest voice, and was almost always the best thing in her films. She could tap-dance fast enough to leave you dizzy, and really act, too. She retired in 1976, more or less, though David Lynch gave her a wonderful comeback cameo as Coco the landlady in Mulholland Drive.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Supporting Actress, 1949 – No way she’d have beaten Mercedes McCambridge in All the King’s Men, but Miller’s good-time gal in On the Town was easily worth a nomination.

11. Myrna Loy (1905-1993)



The Academy felt so guilty about never nominating the exotic and versatile Loy that a lobbying campaign sprang up to set things right, and they gave her an honorary Oscar in 1991. She accepted via camera at home, saying simply, “You’ve made me very happy. Thank you very much.”
MOST ROBBED FOR: Actress, 1934 – William Powell and director W.S. Van Dyke got in, so it seems particularly cruel that Loy’s half of the Thin Man sleuthing duo went unrewarded.

10. Raúl Juliá (1940-94)
 
 
The Puerto Rican actor’s career was cut short right in its prime, just when Gomez Addams propelled him to stardom. His Shakespeare playing was legendary, and he’d earned respect as the (superior) straight man to William Hurt’s Oscar-winning gay martyr routine in Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985). But the biggest film accolade eluded him.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Supporting Actor, 1990 – Deeply brilliant as Harrison Ford’s wily defence lawyer Sandy Stern in Presumed Innocent, Julia should have walked this.

9. Hugh Grant (1960– )
 
 
Hugh Grant is amazing at what he does, and basically terrible, as he’d be the first to admit, at being asked to do anything else. His whole career hinges on seeming to make a pig’s ear of being a romantic lead, and making that hilarious, which he does with a natural skill and timing we admit without appreciating quite enough.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Actor, 1994 – A word for his wonderfully snobbish support in Small Time Crooks (2000), but Four Weddings and a Funeral is clearly the movie Grant was born to own.

8. Isabella Rossellini (1952– )


Her mother Ingrid Bergman won three of the damn things, and while few would argue that Rossellini is anything like such a major star, she’s given several mesmerising performances. She’s into her sixties now: let’s hope for a juicy supporting turn in something mysterious and wonderful to get her in the club.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Actress, 1986 – Out of this world as bewitching masochist Dorothy Vallens in David Lynch’s Blue Velvet, Rossellini probably just scared everyone too much to vote for her.

7. Alan Rickman (1946– )
 

It’s hard to think of anyone who plays villains more lovably than Rickman – they’re often secretly the hero, even if the actual hero hasn’t been told. He’s also a marvellously grumpy romantic lead when required (not often enough) and the sort of British pro whom Oscar voters usually get on their hands and knees to reward. What gives?
MOST ROBBED FOR: Supporting Actor, 1988 – They say an action film’s only as good as its baddie. Thanks to the wickedly sardonic Hans Gruber, this means Die Hard is way up there among the best of all time.

6. John Barrymore (1882–1942)
 
 
Not just the head of a legendary Hollywood dynasty (he’s Drew’s grandfather) and one of the most important theatre actors of his day, but a major film star throughout the sound era and for the first decade of talkies, Barrymore drank too much and died too young. His brother Lionel won one (for 1931’s A Free Soul), but John’s was the greater talent.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Actor, 1934 – His fits of magnificent diva outrage as fulminating Broadway impresario Oscar Jaffe in Howard Hawks’s Twentieth Century.

5. Meg Ryan (1961– )

Ryan’s in the Carrey/Grant category of someone whose ticks can grate in her lesser vehicles, but when she’s on, she’s really on – star wattage, comic timing, and nutso charm like no one else’s. Her CV’s missing one hand-slap-to-forehead non-nomination that would make up for everything.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Actress, 1989 – Really, if they weren’t going to nominate her for When Harry Met Sally..., it was never going to happen.

4. Mia Farrow (1945– )

In every way, it feels like Mia got the rough end of marriage to Woody Allen – she’s his muse for a decade, and not one Oscar nomination, while supporting players reap them constantly? Even before they teamed up, her ethereal, freckly beauty was a Hollywood treasure, and one the Academy should have noticed.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Actress, 1968 – It’s impossible to imagine Rosemary’s Baby without her pale, panicked fragility as Satan’s mum.

3. Donald Sutherland (1935– )

Some blame the Canadian curse (see also Jim Carrey), for what other reason could there be? He has that instantly recognisable baritone, maybe the most treasurable voice in the movies this side of James Mason, and such a rich gallery of parts from the eccentrically endearing to the downright terrifying.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Supporting Actor, 1991 – Sutherland’s incredible off-the-record monologue in Oliver Stone’s JFK, which cracks the whole movie wide open.

2. Marilyn Monroe (1926-62)



Maybe it was considered enough that she was the pin-up to end all pin-ups, and a wildly successful star for ten years. Perhaps she made too many comedies – never the surest path to Academy favour. But any one of a half-dozen performances should have earned Monroe’s inclusion, if only as a polite nod of appreciation.
MOST ROBBED FOR: Actress, 1959 – Only Jack Lemmon in Some Like it Hot’s lead trio got mentioned, but Monroe is fifty times funnier in it than nominee Doris Day in Pillow Talk.

1. Edward G. Robinson (1893-1973)


A damn handy character actor well into his late Seventies, Robinson was a huge if unlikely star throughout the 1930s and 40s. He must have narrowly missed a nod as the hood in Little Caesar (1931), and sadly died two months before an honorary Oscar was presented to him in 1973.

MOST ROBBED FOR: Supporting Actor, 1944 – He had flashier parts, but few as perfectly-tailored to him as sympathetic adjuster Barton Keyes in Double Indemnity.

In the summer of 1981, the movie Endless Love was two things at once, and they meshed together not at all, which is one reason the film was such a glumly gauzy and unsatisfying concoction. It was pitched to audiences as a steamy Brooke Shields heart-tugger, a movie that piggybacked on her brand following the outrageous success of The Blue Lagoon the summer before.

Upon filing into the theatre to watch this year’s most highly anticipated teen romance, “Endless Love,” I certainly was not expecting to see an Oscar-caliber film. However, I did anticipate the blindly romantic, 13-year-old girl in me to reawaken during the two hours I watched this film starring Hollywood newcomers Gabriella Wilde and Alex Pettyfer.

While the masses of actual 13-year-olds around me may have squealed in delight at the all-too-cliché forbidden love story, I was quite frankly disappointed. There was something tragically Nicholas Sparks about “Endless Love,” like a bad mashup of “A Walk To Remember” and “The Notebook.”

“Endless Love” tells the story of star-crossed lovers Jade Butterfield (Wilde) and David Elliot (Pettyfer) who fall madly, endlessly (if I dare be so corny), in love the summer after graduating high school. Jade is a beautiful, wealthy and intelligent girl, who has been sheltered by her father the past two years since the tragic death of her older brother, Chris, the family’s golden child.

While preparing to leave to spend her summer interning at a hospital before starting pre-med at Brown University, Jade begins to live the teenage years she lost due to her years of mourning through David, her former classmate from “the wrong side of the tracks.”

As Jade and David’s relationship intensifies, Jade’s father, played by Bruce Greenfield, goes to extreme lengths to ensure his “little girl” stays focused on achieving her dream (his dream) of going to medical school.

This classic tale of the princess and the pauper, unfortunately, is as cliché and corny as one would anticipate, with few surprises or unexpected plot twists. Frankly, the marital problems and complexities between Jade’s parents make for a far more interesting story than the love affair between Jade and David. Each person in the film has very surface–level characterization, examples being that Jade and David have virtually zero faults and Hugh is inherently evil.

“Endless Love” did have a few high points, one certainly being the excellent soundtrack playing throughout the film. The slightly off-beat, hipster tunes gave the timeless love story a more modern feel with tracks by groups such as NONONO, Tegan and Sara, Tanlines and more.

Another highlight of the film was Alex Pettyfer, who has certainly improved his acting skills since the clumsy effort put forth in 2011’s “Beastly.” Pettyfer shines in this film not only thanks to his boyish good looks, but also the sincerity and earnestness present in his words and actions in each scene. Though his character also has little depth, Pettyfer certainly embodies the traits of the all-American heartthrob.

Despite the major hype leading up to its premiere, “Endless Love” will probably fall short of most moviegoers’ expectations. The love scenes are just too corny and the comedic reliefs are painfully unfunny.

All and all, I’d suggest leaving “Endless Love” to the 13-year-old girls and saving the $9 ticket money for a more worthy cause.
