Penelope

I watched Penelope this weekend. Christina Ricci and Reese Witherspoon star in this cute movie about a girl born with a curse....a pig nose! I RECOMMEND.

Movie Review

I saw two movies in the past few weeks. First up....

Billy Elliott. The story about a British boy who is taking boxing lessons but wants to be a ballerina. Of course, his Father is not thrilled with this idea. Cute story. Extremely successful Broadway show. I thought the story moved a little slow but I would see it on stage. B+


Next, Vicky Christina Barcelona. Penelope Cruz won an Oscar last year for this role as Best Supporting Actress. It's a story of two US girls - Vicky & Christina who spend the summer in Barcelona. Christina immediately likes a local painter but its Vicky that gets him first, even though she is engaged to be married. Christina then gets him, moves in with him, and his ex-wife(Cruz) comes to live with them. You can imagine what happens - they all become lovers together. Different type of movie than what I normally watch but it was interesting. A-
