\"The-Age-of-Adaline-movie-poster-203x300\"<\/a>1. The Age of Adaline (Lionsgate, 2,991 Theaters, 110 Minutes, Rated PG-13 for a suggestive comment, Rotten Tomatoes: 56% Fresh <\/a>[62 Reviews]): \u00a0<\/strong> The world is fascinated by immortality. Everyone tries to figure out the secret of living the longest, and when people reach the century mark, it becomes fodder for\u00a0Today Show\u00a0<\/strong>segments and human interest stories.<\/p>\n

Adaline is over 100 years old. However, she looks to be 30, tops. A magic accident gives her the gift of immortality. Unfortunately, it is not the best gift, as Adaline has to become a recluse, putting aside any chance of love so she doesn’t have to watch the her boyfriends and lovers slowly die in front of her eyes.<\/p>\n

However, she comes across an man some 75 years her junior, a man whose love might make the risk of letting someone mortal in close worth it. Unfortunately, Adeline knew the young man’s dad in his youth. That will tend to complicate things a bit.<\/p>\n

This does call to mind the May 1905-December 2013 romance that was the basis of Twilight<\/strong>, but this film at least has the gumption to at the very least play lip service to the moral implications of an immortal dallying with a mortal.<\/p>\n
