Honestly, I have seen quite a few emotional movies. I don’t know what was going on this week, but I sure did shed some tears.
With that said, Nicholas Sparks definitely knows how to tug some heart strings. I wonder how he does it???
Amanda (Monaghan) and Dawson (Marsden) are reunited 21 years later, after receiving a phone call from an Estate Attorney.
We watch as the two reunite with some serious tension (from Amanda) and Dawson wanting to apologize (awwee). The film takes us back to high school where we meet the two and basically get a back story on how the ice cooled over.
So, I wasn’t a big fan of High School Amanda, but I get it. She was bull headed and argumentative, but a good catalyst and I mean teenagers (*sigh*). She was basically, the girl across the tracks (as in the girl that comes from money and Dawson was the bad boy that Daddy was not excited for).

I think you will have an immediate attachment to Dawson. I did. To get to know him while he is in high school you end up seeing or foretelling that kind of man he grows to be. Yes, I fell in love with Dawson. I like seeing James Marsden as the “hero”. He makes a delicious one (my, has he grown up – ugh he’s three years older than me!!). Luke Bracey is a standup guy (though he was a pretty yummy sniper in The November Man).

I would have to say, I am a romantic at heart. Just ask my husband (we write love notes to each other)! I walked away from this film wanting to call, well, my first love. I felt the need to reach out to him and say thank you, because I would have never met my husband. That is how much that movie affected me. So, the take away from that one, No matter the pain, love always survives. Love is certainly the true winner, hands down.

This is a date night movie, for sure. Fellas, take your ladies to see this film. Brownie points, because we all love Nicholas Sparks Movies 😉 Don’t forget the tissues!

DISNEY+ CASTS DANIEL DIEMER AS FAN-FAVORITE ‘TYSON’IN SEASON TWO OF “PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS”

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
