Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Who’s in it
Kiera Knightly, Matthew Macfadyen, Rosamund Pike, Donald Sutherland
What was good
This was a good love story. I gave Sarah heck about it through the whole movie, but the love story was engaging, and believable. We have a poor daughter, one of 5 who one day meets a man who seems arrogant, well to do, and unapproachable. His deeds support his demeanor, but over time the daughter starts to see beyond what other people

Domino (2005)
Who’s in it
Kiera Knightly, Mickey Rourke, Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green of Beverly Hills Fame
What was good
How they made fun of Ziering and Green, for starters. The style of the movie, the color, the elements and how it was shot was different and engaging. The opening sequence was really sweet too. The story was pretty good, pretty basic and quite a stretch to believe at times, but still something you don’t see everyday. Girl

V is for Vendetta (2006)
Who’s in it
Hugo Weaving, Natalie Portman
What was good
Everything obviously, check my rating.

American History X (1998)
Who’s in it
Edward Norton, Edward Furlong, Elliott Gould, Beverly D’Angelo
What was good
The whole movie is a powerful look into how a simple event and a couple of slanted view points can create hate against a race. A simple example of the power of words, the strength of a leader, and a group of confused young men can create such chaos and fear within one community.
What sucked
Nothing. Norton is supreme in …
Cruel Intentions (1997)
Who’s in it
Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Selma Blair, Ryan Philippe
What was good
If you like evil, seduction and devious teenagers who act 12 years more sexually advanced then they should be, then this is a good movie for you. I like it for the dark humor related to the content, and the beautiful people and the characters they play, the whole movie is kind of a tease.
What sucked
The acting isn’t the best, Philippe is hard

Chronicles of Narnia (2005)
Who’s in it
No one you know, many animated animals and Gabriel from Constantine
What was good
Very good job of bringing this story to life, from the main characters such as Aslan and the children, to the scenery and the fantastic sci-fi world, the wardrobe, the fully animated characters, etc. etc. Weta, that worked on Lord of the Rings, also worked on the costuming for this one as well. But really true to the book from what

Dogsit Lady
Christine is always so nice and will drop off her dog to play with. The second photo here from earlier today really captures the dog’s cute and silly antics when she gets playful.
