Safe Haven Movie Screening In North Carolina

Last night, I had the incredible privilege of attending a screening for the highly anticipated movie “Safe Haven” in Raleigh, North Carolina. If you haven’t already heard about this film, you’re in for a treat! It’s based on the bestselling book by Nicholas Sparks and is set in the picturesque town of Southport, NC. What’s even more exciting is that parts of the movie were actually filmed in the stunning Southport location. The film features an outstanding cast with Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough taking the lead roles.

Let me begin by saying that I absolutely adored this movie. Josh Duhamel has long been one of my favorite actors to watch on the big screen, not just because of his striking looks but also due to his exceptional ability to seamlessly blend comedy, romance, and action in the characters he portrays. Julianne Hough, whom many of us know from “Dancing with the Stars,” delivered a surprisingly outstanding performance, proving her prowess as a versatile actress alongside her other achievements.

However, the real scene-stealer of “Safe Haven” was none other than the youngest member of the cast, our very own Raleigh, NC native, Mimi Kirkland. She takes on the role of Lexie, Josh Duhamel’s on-screen daughter, and she absolutely shines in every scene she graces.

Mark your calendars because “Safe Haven” hits theaters nationwide on February 14th, and I wholeheartedly believe it’s a must-see for anyone who adores a blend of romance and mystery. This film will keep you on the edge of your seat from the opening scene to the closing credits. It also boasts some breathtaking visual effects, with one of my personal favorites being a beach scene featuring Josh and Julianne. Their sun-soaked moment lying on the sand is captured with such artistry in terms of camera angles and lighting that it creates an almost surreal atmosphere. It’s truly an experience that defies description and must be witnessed on the big screen.

“Safe Haven” offers a wonderful glimpse into one of my favorite North Carolina vacation destinations, Southport. Throughout the week, I’ll be sharing more about this charming town, complete with photos and recommendations of places to visit. North Carolina’s popularity as a film location doesn’t come as a surprise to me; our state boasts a diverse range of attractions, from our pristine coastal beaches to our majestic mountain ranges. Whether you’re a fan of romantic getaways or outdoor adventures, North Carolina has something to offer everyone. So, the next time you’re planning a vacation, consider exploring our beautiful state!
