Weekend Movie Guide: Dear Amanda...
Ordinarily, the radiant, slightly goofy presence of Amanda Seyfried would have me rushing to the theater (as it will in the case of the randy Chloe), but the noxious presence of Channing Tatum will keep me away from the awful Dear John. Can someone please explain Nicholas Sparks to me? He's still writing? Really? I'm sure it will suck, but From Paris With Love looks like a hell of a lot a fun. Jonathan Rhys Meyers is completely out of his depth, but Travolta is usually -- and counterintuitively -- rock-solid when he plays a bad ass. Does it get more matter of fact than Frozen? Kids get stranded in the cold and bad things ensue. There's your movie!
