Interview with Channing Tatum, star of 'Dear John'

Channing Tatum in Dear John

I recently had a chance to sit down and chat with Channing Tatum during a round-table interview here in San Francisco, and here's what he had to say regarding his latest movie "Dear John," which co-stars Amanda Seyfried and is currently playing in theaters. Tatum also starred in "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra."

The film tells story of John Tyree (Channing Tatum), a young soldier home on leave, and Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried), the idealistic college student he falls in love with during her spring vacation. Over the next seven tumultuous years, the couple is separated by John's increasingly dangerous deployments.

Movie Review: “Dear John”

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Seen on: January 28, 2010

The players: Director: Lasse Hallstrom, Writer: Jamie Linden, Cast: Channing Tatum, Amanda Seyfried, Richard Jenkins, Henry Thomas

Facts of interest: Based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks.

The plot: A solider falls in love with a girl while he's on leave, and they two enter a turbulent long-distance relationship.

Our thoughts: Ready for some hardcore, over-the-top drama that requires strong nerves and a bunch of patience to sit through? If that answer’s yes, make sure you don’t miss Lasse Hallstrom’s “Dear John,” a flat, through and through cheesy and yet partly entertaining big-screen adaptation of yet another Nicholas Sparks novel.

Miley Cyrus talks 'Last Song' in new featurette

Love, love, love, love... it's all over Julie Anne Robinson's upcoming big-screen romance "The Last Song," which is based on Nicholas Sparks' new novel and stars Miley Cyrus in the lead role.

This film marks the first time Sparks adapted his own work for the screen. The central plot follows a rebellious teenager (Cyrus) who is forced to spend the summer with her father (Greg Kinnear).

The guy left the family years earlier, so he now tries to  take the opportunity to finally reconnect with his kids. At the same time, Cyrus' character also starts a romance with a local dude (Liam Hemsworth). Kelly Preston co-stars.

Here is a short featurette that features Sparks and the cast as they chat about the story of the film and all the love you will see unfold on the big screen when "The Last Song" opens April 2, 2010.

Anyway, look out for a lot of saccharine moments in the flick, which Sparks wrote with Cyrus in mind. I think the film features her music, but at least she'll not be getting her Hannah Montana on. Yay to that!
