This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winners are Charlene K., Marla Y., Rosey, Melanie, and Linda K. Congrats!
Last week, Fox Searchlight released Amelia on DVD. This romantic drama stars Richard Gere and Hilary Swank, and just might make for a cozy Valentine’s Day movie! Here is a bit more about the movie, from the site:
Experience the romance, struggle and triumph of legendary aviatrix Amelia Earhart as she chases love and lives her dreams in Amelia. Hailed as “The Queen of the Air,” Amelia boldly flew into the annals of history with her solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Bound by ambition and love, her enduring marriage to George Putnam could not be broken by her determination to fly, or a secret passionate affair. Equal parts gripping drama, stirring romance and epic adventure, Amelia will take your breath away and send your spirit soaring!
The movie was JUST released on DVD so be sure to come back for my review. It’s available now on DVD and Blu-Ray.

i’ve adored amelia earhart since i was in grade school and read her biography. would love to win the DVD.
I viewed Amelia and the photography was spectacular. We are so used to airplanes flying over high in the sky but in Amelia’s era they flew much closer to earth.
I think Hilary Swank is a fantastic actress and she deserved both of her Oscar Awards

I’ve heard great things about this movie and I have a fascination with Amelia Earhart.
Hilary Swank is one of my favorite actresses and she really does look like Amelia so I thought she was perfect for this role. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the movie but I’d like to see it for myself before making any judgments. I think Hilary is a wonderful actress so I’m sure her performance was great.
I’ve heard really good things about the movie. I don’t usually have an interest in romantic movies but this one is an exception for me. It just seems like it would be better than the typical.
Ive heard this was a great movie and I cant wait to see it
I’d love to see this.

I think Hilary Swank is perfect for the role of Amelia. I don’t care for Richard Gere. I would have liked to see Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt in the role. Now if we could have a movie about Eleanor Roosevelt or Charles Lindberg.
This movie sounds very interesting. I’ll definitely check it out!
