My favorite Amanda Seyfried TV project is by far Big Love! I adore her gut-wrenchingly honest portrayal of Sarah. It has been amazing to see her grow as an actress throughout these past four seasons.

So far my favorite Channing Tatum movie is Step Up, I love all the dancing. Although I have a feeling Dear John is going to win over Step Up, as an armywife I feel there are some parts I can relate to, even though I've only seen previews so far. I also love Nicholas Sparks The Notebook, great story.

My favorite Nicholas Sparks book is' The Last Song', I obviously have not seen the movie adaptation because it will be in theaters on March 31st, 2010. I am most definitely anticipating that movie more than Dear John. I have committed to see Dear John this Friday, and although it is not my favorite Nicholas Sparks book, it remains a top three. The Notebook novel takes second, as well as it being my favorite Nicholas Sparks movie adaptation so far. I think that Dear John is a riveting book that is however heartbreaking, teaches 'what true love really means' and for that I am hoping that this bitterweet story that isbrought to life on screen will be my new favorite movie adaptation!

My favorite artist on the soundtrack is Amanda Seyfried. I wish she would release an album. She has one of the best voices I've ever heard.

I loved Nicolas Sparks' The Notebook, probably because I love cheesy/sappy romance films. That is also exactly why I am very excited to see this movie! Many girls dream of finding a man to sweep them off their feet, and this movie presents exactly that-with a little hope as well.

loved the book cant wait for the movie
I love any N. Sparks book. Looking forward to his next book! I am excited to see Dear John.

My favorite Channing Tatum movie, well it's hard to just pick one, but Step Up was GREAT! And of course Stop Loss was, INCREDIBLE. But any movie Channing Tatum stares in, I watch. He is an awesome actor and so so handsome. What girl wouldn't want to watch him strut his stuff.

My favorite artist from the soundtrack is Snow Patrol. The song they sing is called "Set The Fire To The Third Bar." To me, this describes the main theme of the movie and the way the characters feel towards eachother. Also, this song (in a way) relates to my own story, which makes me want to listen to them even more.

Also My favorite artist from the soundtrack is Snow Patrol. The song Set The Fire To The Third Bar is my favorite song and I listen to the song for hours on end.

My favorite Nicholas Sparks book is Dear John. Once i got this book, i could not put it down. I read for hours upon hours, and every chapter, i cried even more than the previous chapter. Everyday I watch the trailer for the Dear John movie, and i am constantly checking for any news updates on it. I hope that the movie is as wonderful as the novel, because this was my favorite book, not just of Nicholas Sparks, but it was my favorite book ever.
I loved Step Up....the chemistry between Channing and, his now wife, Jenna lit up the screen. I am a huge N. Sparks fan as well; I've read ALL his books.

I saw "Message in a Bottle" for the first time the other night and was completely immersed in the film. The cinematography was magnificent along with the entire plot. This was the first time that I had seen a movie adapted to screen by Nicholas Sparks. I plan on seeing "Nights in Rodanthe", "The Notebook" and on Friday "Dear John". I am convinced that any money spent on a Nicholas Spark's book or movie by me will be well spent.

It's a beautiful book!!! I cried like a baby!!! I hope the move leaves the same effects as the book!!! I loved it!!!
I had fallen in love with Amanda Seyfried's looks but I really didn't know who she was until I saw her in "Mama Mia". It was one of my favorite broadway shows and I really love the Music of Abba. The show was beautifly perfomed and I was looking forward to the adaption on film. I purchased a dvd and was overwhelmed. There was the actress that I fell in love with, not literally (lol). It was Amanda Seyfried! Her performance was exceptional! I am looking forward to seeing "Dear John" tomorrow and I am sure I will not be disappointed by her performance.

My favorite book by Nicholas Sparks by far is THE NOTEBOOK (NIcholas Sparks is an amazing writter. He knows how to get deep in your heart and soul). I love reading all his books, and Dear Jhon is now top of my list, because this story plays extremly close to my hesrt. My fisrt love is in the millitary and both of us agree that Dear Jhon resebless our love story ( the only difference is that we haven't reached the end). Like in the book the stars are what keeps us together and they alwyas will ( I LOVE YOU BOY). I cant wait to see the movie!!

Gotta love Amanda Seyfried in Mamma Mia! & Mean Girls. Both great movies. I am amazed at Amanda's wide range of talent. She can play a ditzy girl in Mean Girls, sing beautifully in Mamma Mia! & play a more serious role in Dear John all within a couple of years.
My favorite nicholas sparks movie is the notebook, love ryan gosling and rachel mcadams. amanda seyfried would be my favorite artist on the soundtrack. she can really sing
I really liked Channing from Step Up 1 & 2. Transitioning from that role to this must be interesting for him. I'd watch Dear John when I Get the chance!
My favorite Channing Tatum movie would probably have to be She's the Man.

Sparks' books are so easily adapted for the screen. They have a warmth that defy age and category. Let them all become movies!
My favorite Nicholas Sparks books are "A Walk to Remember" and "The Notebook". Both were written so well and were so easily adaptable and wonderfully put into movie form.
