Tim Burton’s take on the tale of Frankenstein, Edward Scissorhands is an early example of Burton’s favorite topics, but also how beautifully he can blend gothic elements with heart. Emma KielyĬast: Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, Anthony Michael Hall, Kathy Baker, Alan Arkin, and Vincent Price It has charm, there are some truly heart-breaking scenes and it allowed Cyrus come into her own as an actress.

Unlike some of his other films, The Last Song stays in its own territory, never trying to venture out to discuss greater topics like religion or philosophy. The Last Song has all the usual leitmotif of a Sparks adaptation: Gorgeous young couple, something that is trying to break them up, a terminally ill character and a lot of kissing on the beach. She helps him to indulge his rebellious side more and he inspires her to get back into music – the perfect yin and yang couple. Enter Liam Hemsworth who plays Will, the wealthy happy-go-lucky town hottie, and him and Ronnie embark on an intense summer romance. She barely knows her Dad after her parents divorced and so, the teenage brooding is at an all-time high. Cyrus plays Ronnie, a rebellious former piano prodigy who is sent to spend the summer at a small seaside town in Georgia with her father ( Greg Kinnear) and brother. Miley Cyrus proved her acting chops outside of Hannah Montana when she starred in the Nicholas Sparks adaptation, The Last Song. Olivia FitzpatrickĬast: Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth, Greg Kinnear, Bobby Coleman, Kelly Preston As Stanley finally finds his place among the other teens at the camp, he slowly begins to uncover the story behind the detention center, the holes, and his very own family. The warden of the camp, Louise Walker ( Sigourney Weaver), and her underlings are cruel, forcing the inmates of the camp to spend each day digging holes under the hot desert sun in search of some mysterious treasure. Filled with a star-studded cast and beautiful cinematography, the film follows the story of Stanley Yelnats ( Shia LaBeouf) after he is sentenced to 18 months at Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention camp for stealing a pair of donated sneakers that once belonged to baseball player Clyde "Sweet Feet" Livingston. Cast: Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, Patricia Arquette, Tim Blake Nelson, Shia LaBeoufīased on the novel of the same name by Louis Sachar (who also wrote the screenplay), Holes is one of those movies that continues to delight with every passing year.
