Movie Couples That Lack That Loving Feeling Onscreen

There’s nothing like a romantic movie to create that feel-good feeling. However, if the two main characters don’t have the right chemistry, it can make the film fizzle out. Here are three movie couples that lack that loving feeling onscreen.

Star Wars II - Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen

One of the most hotly-anticipated movies of 2002, it failed to score the hit that many of the others in the franchise achieved. Many put this down to the lack of chemistry between Princess Amidala and Anakin Skywalker - even though the actors were rumored to be dating in real life.

The Bachelor - Renée Zellwegerand Chris O’Donnell

Despite racking up blockbuster rom-coms with Bridget Jones, this movie was not such a hit for beauty Renée Zellweger. Chris O’Donnell was slated for his performance and the pair just didn’t ever look as if they were really into each other.

Fifty Shades of Grey - Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson

Never has a movie been so eagerly-awaited but this couple lacked the red-hot sauciness of the book. Moviegoers found the performances unconvincing with many blaming poor casting by the directors. However, apparently the two actors didn’t like each other in real life - and that could have played a part in the lackluster lust onscreen.

The best part about books is that you can rely on your own imagination to create the spark so there’s never a disappointment due to a lack of chemistry. Head over to www.mediafaze.com for romance, love and lots more, all available online.

Books About Love That’s Gone Wrong That Will Break Your Heart

Whether you’re going through a tough time romantically yourself, or whether you just like to read about affairs of the heart, there’s nothing quite like a book about love. It can be even better when it’s a doomed romance, taking the reader on an emotional journey. Here are three books about love that’s gone wrong that will break your heart into pieces.

The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller

This is an incredibly imaginative take on the classic The Iliad, taking the story of Achilles and Patroclus and re-telling it. With a suspense that steadily builds, you’ll be desperately rooting for these lovers but if you’re familiar with Homer’s original tale, you’ll have a bad feeling about how things might end up.

We Were Liars - E. Lockhart

Rarely has a love story been written with such intelligence and cleverness; you’ll be deceived by the story without even realizing. It’s only as the book starts to build to its conclusion that you’ll realize the narrator isn’t all that she seems and the destructive twist will leave you breathless. We guarantee you’ll want to go back and read it again to look out for the clues you missed!

Love Story - Erich Segal

This book was written in the 1970s but it’s still one of the best. If you haven’t read it, put it at the top of your list as it’s beautiful prose that will capture your heart from the opening words. Forbidden love and tragedy combined; you’ll need the tissues to get through this one.
