I'm so glad that Keanu Reeves has finally made another flick. It's been a while since I've last seen his handsome stony looks, so I was definitely thrilled when I learned that he is paired with Sandra Bullock with this new romance movie "The Lake House".

However, I still appreciate the fact it's brave enough to come up with a supernatural storyline like the movie "Ghost". I also think that adventurous romantics, who want to explore how love is both
blissful and poignant will fancy such cheesy and tacky love story.
