A: Well, not anymore. I just broke up with my boyfriend like a month ago.
P: And how long were you together?
A: Well we weren’t really together, we just used each other for sex but we had a deal that if one of us started to fall in love, we would stop seeing each other. And that’s what happened… He fell in love, and we thought it would be better if we didn’t see each other anymore..

A: Geeez, what are you talking about?
M: I think you know! Just look at yourself! How dare you talk back at me! (furiously)
A: OKAYOKAY, FINE! Sooooooorryyyyy! (ironically, like she hasn't done anything wrong)
M: Anyway, your dad and I have decided to send you to your grandparents for the summer.
A: But I don't want to go...
M: We have already decided and you're definitely going!
A: (starts to freak out) What are you talking about? I'm not going to some random place with no Internet, MSN or Facebook... There's nothing to do and all my friends are in town (already hysterically) You can't make me go!
M: It's decided. You're going and that's-
A: MOOOM!
M: -final. Your flight leaves tomorrow morning at 6:25. Your grandfather is going to pick you up at the airport.
After the dialog with her mother (when mother has left the room), Ashley calls her best friend Lisa. She tells her the news and complains that it's so far away, such a countryside and she bets there are no cute boys there.
A: Hi, Lisa (very unhappily)
L: Ash, you're killing me. You know what time it is?
A: I really need to talk to you...
L: I'm listening. (really tiredly)
A: It's about the party last night.. What the hell happened ?
L: Woow, those cocktails really worked, huh?
A: Yeah, you could say that again. I can't remember a thing about last night! My mom saw me and my parents have decided to punish me (disappointedly) so I have to stay with my grandparents for the whole summer! Kill me now!

Playing with love part 1

(at Ashley's)
Ashley: Mom! There's a party at Lisa's house today. Can I go? Please, please, pleaaaaaase? (makes the face of an angel).
Mom: What? You'll just get drunk and do something stupid.
A: Noooo, mom. What are you talking about? Her parents are at home and we are not going to
drink any alcohol. (sweetly)
M: Oh well, but be back home at 11 am. (strictly)
A: Okay, mother. I'll be home at 10.55. (smiles) Bye!
But actually Ashley goes to her room to dress up differently than her mother saw her "going out" and in 20 minutes she's ready for the party. She applies a LOT of make-up and mega-high heels. When she's ready, she sneaks out of the window.
(at the party, Kesha's song is playing)
A: HEEEEY LISA!
Lisa: Hey. Want a drink?
A: SUUURE!
L: Here's vodka, rum, beer and champagne mixed together. It tastes DE-LI-COUS!
After drinking this you will be extremely drunk. You won't remember a THING tomorrow! But that's what you wanted, right?
A: Oh yeah, baby, give it to me!!!
Ashley drinks the tasty cokctail very fast and goes to mix another one. She repeats this for at least 3-4 times. Then she notices that it's 10.50 and it is time for her to go home. Luckily she lives near Lisa so she can walk home.
(at Ashley's)
A: Hey everybody! I'm hooo...home!
M: Ashley, oh my GOSH, what's happened to you? Have you been... DRINKING? (surprisingly)
A: Umm... I don't remember. But I'm at home on time!
M:OMG, why are you lying? I can smell that in your aaawful breath. (makes disgusted face) I can't believe you betrayed my trust... I'm very, very disappointed in you. I have to think of a fair punishment. Now go to bed, I don't want to see your face anymore.
At night Ashley throws up a couple of times. She wakes up at 12 pm and is afraid to face her parents. Then her mother comes to tell her the decision...

They go to the cinema, everything is perfect until the boy realises how bad a person she is with everybody else.

The shopkeeper - a young girl called Peronell - sees that and calls the guards. Tybalt is sent to prison. Peronell can't sleep that night because she starts to think about Tybalt's way of acting and talking. She decides to rescue the boy from the prison to find out his secret. During their journey to a place where they would be safer, Tybalt tells Peronell his story and they fall in love. One night when they fall asleep, Tybalt time-travels back to the present. When Peronell wakes up, she can't find him anywhere and thinks that Tybalt has just walked away from her.

Group 5

They meet, fall in love but they have to go back to reality.

Alice is enjoying her holidays in Sweden with her best friend. They take long skiing trips every day and after that relax in a spa. On their third day there, they take a wrong turn somewhere and can't find their way back. They are lost in a huge forest in the middle of the snow. Just when they are getting too desperate, they hear voices coming towards them.
Nick is a Swedish guy who loves winter breaks as it involves skiing in the forests he and his friends know so well. By a lucky coincident, Nick and his friends happen to be skiing in the same forest the girls have got lost in.
Nick (and his friends) help Alice (and her best friend) back to the skiing resort and they fall in love. They spend the best week together before Alice has to return to her home. To her perfect boyfriend who doesn't seem to be so perfect anymore.
The school year ends. Alice can't stop thinking about Nick. She makes a decision to go back to Sweden. She knows it's not possible that Nick would feel the same way she does. She travels straight to the town Nick lives in, finds his house and knocks on the door. Nick's not at home, but his mother allows her to wait for him. When he gets home, he has another girl with him. As Alice sees that, she runs out and back to the resort.

It's not a happy ending... or is it?

Movie review for “Dear John”

Dear John

They have two weeks to spend together and they fall in love amazingly fast. John is the tough type who has nothing left over for those who have previously been something of a mess.
Savannah´s figure recalls Mother Terasa, she is a nice girl who could not dream of bad behavior, she builds houses for people in need, and she is also taking care of an autistic boy.

Savannah has to go back to study, and John is going back to the army, they then begin to write together. Every week they write a letter to each other and send it to each other as a way to maintain contact and keep the love alive. But something terrible happens - 9 / 11 - and suddenly the whole world looks quite different.

John decides without hesitation, to stay in Afghanistan, even though Savannah doesn’t like it. Now the two young people are forced to love over distance.

That may sound like a great movie for teenage girls who loved romance. It is probably too, but for all others it is an extremely tedious and lengthy movie. The movie drags out, and the only reason that the film gets over one and half hours is because of all the letters you need to listen to.
Amanda Seyfreid is stable in the role of Savannah, which is more than you can say about Matthew Tatum. His facial expression is virtually nonexistent. Richard Jenkins is without question the film's bright spot as John's autistic father and good acting from his part.
