Sunday was Valentine’s Day. Hope yours was loverly.
As you probably know, a movie of the same name was released on Friday. Did you see it?
I didn’t get a chance. Too much Olympics coverage to watch. (I did see a preview performance of “Miracle Worker” on Broadway with Abigail Breslin, which was spectacular).
According to rottentomatoes.com, “Valentine’s Day” the movie is 84 percent rotten. As one reviewer put it, “This has not a single ounce of the charm that you might find in ‘Love Actually’ or a number of other films revolving around romance. It’s just plain bad.”
Oh well…I still want to witness the carnage. There are a lot of actors in the film that I like and, even if they suck, well, I’ll enjoy seeing that, too.
So, in honor of the suckiest things that movies have to offer, I thought I would resurrect the Top Ten Worst Movie Quotes of All Time, which were compiled in a survey by Warburtons.
Enjoy!

Coupling
Chemistry. Some couples got it. Some don’t.
We were all reminded of this fact during Sunday’s Oscar broadcast — for three plus painful hours. Co-hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco were oil and water on stage; no casting director is going to be beating down their doors any time soon to pair them up in a movie.
But what about the truly great film couples?
Here’s my list of great film couples (in no particular order):
It’s not an exhaustive list. In fact, I’m sure I’ve missed one of your favorites.
What couple would you add to the list?
Remember — you can’t win if you don’t play.
