The Last Song movie review

Last_Song_Movie_PosterMany college students could only dream of attending a movie premiere in New York City.  Students who attended the College Media Advisor convention were given this opportunity, free of charge. “The Last Song” is set to come to theatres on March 31; however, some students attended the free premiere on March 15 at the Regal Theater on Time Square. Following in suit of movies such as “The Notebook” and more recently “Dear John”; another Nicholas Sparks novel, “The Last Song” has become a movie.

 

Lots of people were excited to get to see the movie before anyone else. In order to guarantee their seats, people began lining up for the movie about an hour before the movie started. As we entered the theater, an attendant welcomed the students, and informed everyone that we were the first group to see this movie in New York City. She warned us about turning our cell phones off and not having any recording devices. In the theater, there was another attendant wearing night vision goggles to ensure that no one was recording the movie or had cell phones on. If anyone was found with a recorder or using cell phone, they were promptly kicked out of the screening.

 

“The Last Song” is the latest movie adaption of a Nicholas Sparks novel. It adds to the author’s novel-to-movie adaption list, which includes movies such as “The Notebook” and “Dear John.” The movie experience itself was exciting at first because we were the first to see it, but the novelty quickly wore off. It became apparent that “The Last Song” was just like going to any other movie. “The Last Song” was a typical Nicholas Sparks novel based movie, and followed the plot of the book for the most part. The plot was the basic “boy meets girl” story. In general, it was a decent chick flick. The casting of Miley Cyrus as the main character, Ronnie, however was the movie’s greatest downfall. Cyrus is not a good dramatic actress, and this became apparent in many of the scene. Overall, it was an exciting experience to attend a movie screening in New York City before anyone else in the United States.

Military spouses wait out deployments

 A life can change with a phone call, a plane ticket or a knock at the door.

For someone married to, engaged to or seriously involved with a person in the military, extreme transitions in lifestyle happen at a moment’s notice. A phone call or a knock at the door can mean the unthinkable for the partner of a soldier.

The University of North Carolina and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences examined medical records of 250,000 women married to active-duty soldiers. The study found that women whose husbands were deployed from one to 11 months were more likely to suffer from depressive disorders, sleep disorders, anxiety and acute stress reaction and adjustment disorders.

This study demonstrates that the burden of deployment can severely affect partners as well as soldiers. Having the tools and the ability to manage the stress and emotions of deployment is crucial to overcoming psychological and physical obstacles.

Staci Chiomento, a military spouse for eight years, and a former soldier, recalls the moment when representatives of the U.S. Army knocked on her door to inform her that her husband had been killed in action in Iraq.
