If you’re ready for a fashion feast and Middle Eastern escape with the girls, go see Sex and the City 2 with Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie), Kristin Davis (Charlotte), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) and Kim Cattrall(Samantha) as they “Carrie On” two years after the first movie. Even though this sequel is long (2 ½ hours), the writer cleverly keeps your attention with a road trip to Abu Dhabi. We won’t spoil the movie here, but rather comment on the fashion parade and their great United Arab Emirates adventure.

Are you ready to watch Sex and the City 2 on May 27, 2010, as Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha “carry on” in their next chapter of their lives? We got a rare interview with one of the cast members, Vincent De Paul, at the Turner Classic Movie Film Festival in Hollywood, where he shared the inside scoop on the wedding scene in the video below (No spoilers!). Vincent provides hints about the groom by saying, “The character is the Italian, and his last name is Marino, and you will recognize him.”

If you’re looking for some hope that Great Love can be found, check out The Back-Up Plan with Jennifer Lopez (Zoe) and Alex O’Loughlin (Stan). In this fun romantic comedy, Zoe meets the right guy who is a Bachelor Available (best kind of guy in my first book, Smart Man Hunting). As soon as Zoe decides to give up and have a baby on her own, her man magically appears. What we learn about love in this movie is that it’s important to be open to a relationship when the real deal shows up.

We can all learn from love in the movies. After all, they’ve been scripted to make us emotionally charged and think about the life lessons. As your Great Love Reporter and entertainment executive, there are tons of movie couple examples in my Books, CDs and Articles. For fun, below are my top 10 picks and the love lessons from the big screen for the Best Romance Movies for the 21st Century.

After years of watching romance movies, working in the entertainment biz and coaching singles how to find love, here’s my top 10 list with love lessons from the big screen. From Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca to Meg Ryan in everything, these scripts have given us big things to think about love. You’ll find the Great Life Great Love list includes titles from 1939-1998.

If you’re looking for Mr. Right, let these Top 10 Man Code Oscars help you identify him faster with leading man movie examples just-in-time for the 82nd Academy Awards. The codes are taken from my first book, Smart Man Hunting, which includes 26 A-Z codes to help you identify the good guys, bad guys and mostly maybe guys. From the Love Match (Bradley Cooper) to the Young Explorer (Ryan Reynolds), make your love hunt and the Oscars fun with these codes in mind.

If you’re ready for a fun flashback to 1970s rock-n-roll love, you’ll want to check out the hot Sundance hit, The Runaways, with Kristen Stewart (Joan Jett) and Dakota Fanning (Cherrie Currie). Not only will this movie take you on the road with Joan Jett’s first band, it shares the relationship challenges when dealing with fame. You don’t want to miss this film when it’s released in theaters March 19, 2010.

If you’re ready for an all-star cast, laughs, and every emotion in the book, check out Valentine’s Day with Ashton Kutcher, Jennifer Garner and 18 other Hollywood box office leads. While the story plays like Love Actually where you’re following way too many relationships, there is one big love lesson in this romantic comedy that Gary Marshall cleverly brings out.

If you have any doubts about whether great love exists, The Romantics will change your mind with Katie Holmes (Laurie) and Josh Duhamel (Tom) when it hits theaters in SEPT 10, 2010. This 5-star romantic comedy has an awesome cast that will make you cry, laugh, and walk away a believer! It was fate for me to get a press pass for the the world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival so I could give you a sneak preview (No Spoilers, just fun tips and interviews). It was also magical to be on the red carpet of a Creative Coalition event at Sundance where we captured Elijah Wood speaking about the cast.

Great Life Great Love is about building a Great Life to attract Great Love. Since my passions are talking about love and movies, Sundance is my perfect match. To spice up your life, we went on a hunk hunt to capture these photos plus a special video interview with Lee Dahlberg. By taking more chances, most celebrities were open to talking after a movie, at the ski lodge and on Main Street. From Adrien Grenier (Entourage) to Tate Taylor (Winter’s Bone), the stars were out promoting their latest work in Park City.

If you’re ready for a great love escape to Ireland, check out the romantic comedy, Leap Year with Amy Adams (Anna), Matthew Goode (Declan) and Adam Scott (Jeremy). While Anna is on a mission to propose to her boyfriend, Jeremy, who is on a business trip in Dublin, she runs into twists and turns that will surprise and entertain you. Anna’s quest is based on an Irish tradition that women can propose on Leap Day, February 29th.

If you love mysteries, London, and Big Ben, then Sherlock Holmes can take you there. However, if you’re looking for romance in this film, it’s even more of a mystery to find for Sherlock (Robert Downey Jr), Watson (Jude Law), Irene (Rachel McAdams) and Mary (Kelly Reilly). The biggest love lesson in this movie is avoid falling for a mystery man who is totally obsessed with work. Below are 3 romance clues that signal trouble based on this movie.

If you’re ready for a new visual experience and Great Love Magic, go see the hot movie, Avatar. The love story between Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) is even more spectacular than the scenery. Jake is sent by the military into the forests of Pandora with an “an Avatar” identity so he looks like the Na’vi natives. While his primary mission is to build trust and get counter intelligence, Jake has no idea that he will find Great Love Magic when he meets Neytiri, daughter of the King.

Have you heard about the Sundance hit, An Education that is getting rave reviews from both the critics and viewers? In this romantic movie, we learn a ton about naïve love from Carey Mulligan (Jenny) and Peter Sarsgaard (David) who tempts her with a Great Life, but falls short on being a Great Love. The movie takes places in the suburbs of London in 1960s, and is filled with creative twists that make this movie a must see!
