DVD Reviews of The Lake House (Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: McCartney at his best
Summary: 5 Stars
The Lake House is a tearjerker, baby, and not for dimwit literalists. It features one of Paul McCartney's finest works, "This Never Happened Before."DVD Review: Suspend your disbelief and pay a visit to the Lake House
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie "The Lake House" is certainly a movie that challenges you to suspend your disbelief but it seems a majority of people seem incapable of doing so for this movie, yet are able to believe that a mystical force controls all things in the Universe (Star Wars), that a man can fly (Superman) or, gasp, that a truck can turn into a robot (Transformers).
For me this movie is pure fantasy and I have no problem taking it for what it is - namely a romantic movie with a supernatural element. I don't sit there and try and figure out how or why the mailbox works the way it does just like I don't sit there and wonder how the Enterprise reaches warp speed (Star Trek) or the man outraces the Sun (Mummy Returns).
The plot is basically a love story and rather than two people falling in love over the internet and e-mail they instead do it the old fashioned way and fall in love through snail mail. However the device of the time difference means that the two cannot simply meet face-to-face in a traditional date. The plot reminded me of a similar plot device in a TV movie I saw where two lovers corresponded the same way across centuries with the letters magically appearing in an old cabinet.
Take the movie for what it is and pick up this enjoyable, charming romantic movie on Blu-ray for under $10 (as of Nov. 13, 2009). The audio and video quality are far from steller, but they are better than on an upconverted DVD.
DVD Review: Best Movie ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
Can't say any more than this is the best movie I've ever seen. I'm ordering it in Blu-Ray cause I want to make sure I always have it.DVD Review: Romantic fantasy
Summary: 4 Stars
It's one of my favorite romantic fantasies. Reeves and Bullock are perfect of a romance that exists in two alternate time periods one in the past, the other in the present as they converge to a rapidly emerging future. Can't reveal the ending or it will spoil the story, but it leaves you with a wondering sense of the power of choices and coincidences in our lives.

DVD Review: PEOPLE PLZ READ!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Lake House is a FANTASY romantic movie! Keyword people: FANTASY. All the things in the movie where 2 people fall in love across time is impossible of coarse. But if you stop analysing the movie or have questions about it such as " that is not possible" you will not understand the movie. The main thing about this movie is that 2 people are lonely and have finally met their love of their life and want to be together!You already know that this movie is Fantasy so therefore, dont be asking questions, just see it and pretend that those fantasy things do not excist. In the end this movie is so lovable and is worth buying and seen it over and over again. Dont ask questions because they will never be answered! its fantasy! just watch the movie period! Dont be stupid spending time hating this movie cuz its impossible to understand or know it cant be for reals!!!!!!!! keyword: Fantasy!
Description of The Lake House (Widescreen Edition)
A lonely doctor (Sandra Bullock) who once occupied an unusual lakeside home begins exchanging love letters with its newest resident, a frustrated architect (Keanu Reeves). When they discover that they're actually living two years apart, they must try to unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary romance before it's too late.Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock pair up again in what could be described as the anti-Speed: The Lake House, a sweet, relaxed-paced, whimsical romance. When Alex Wyler (Reeves, The Matrix) moves into an unusual glass house on stilts over a lake, he discovers a note from the previous tenant in the mailbox--but no one's lived in the house for years. He replies and soon discovers that he's corresponding with a doctor named Kate Forster (Bullock, Miss Congeniality) who's writing from two years in the future. Their correspondence turns romantic and their paths cross in unexpected ways, but when they try to truly connect, danger looms. Though the plot of The Lake House sounds potentially static, the movie is skillfully structured and, despite some truly awful dialogue, will exert an emotional pull on anyone willing to embrace the device of the time-travelling mailbox. What the movie really demonstrates, though, is the genuine rapport between Bullock and Reeves; Reeves, though handsome, has a wooden presence--but in his few scenes with Bullock, his stiffness transforms into a palpable yearning. On-screen chemistry is slippery and hard to define, but these two have it. --Bret Fetzer
