Bedtime Stories
I’ll admit it: I wasn’t too excited about taking my kids to see Bedtime Stories (starring Adam Sandler, Courtney Cox, Kerri Russell).

Black Dahlia
I found this movie to be drawn out, lacking in valuable information known in the real Black Dahlia murder, and more of a love story than a mystery.

Green Mansions: A Film by Mel Ferrer (1959)

Notting Hill (1999 movie)

Miss Potter
Miss Potter is funny and nice. The movie stars Renee Zellweger and I love the way she speaks with a British accent! It’s so cute and funny and at the same time, understandable. She played the character of Beatrix Potter, so obviously she’s the Miss Potter there.

“The Avengers” (2012 film)

‘Bride Wars’ is the movie where the main stars, Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson dream to marry at the Plaza Hotel. Unfortunately I expected much more from this movie. I feel that the script lacked a certain amount of magic and there weren’t enough funny moments as expected.
