| Enchanted Review |
Summary: An animated fairy tale meets modern, live-action comedy. The beautiful princess Giselle is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid - even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home - she has to wonder: Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?
This movie was ADORABLE, hilarious and a great movie to see with the family. Amy Adams is funny and you cant help but fall in love with her character! My mom and I were laughing through out the whole movie! I am good at catching hidden messages and the amount of Disney references was huge! The soundtrack is great and I will definetly be buying the soundtrack! I gave it 3.85 stars because James Marsden is hotter than Patrick Dempsey. |

| Juno Review |
 Summary: Juno is a Mid-Western highschooler, who decides one day, out of boredom or curiosity, to have sex with her friend Paulie Bleeker, a member of her school's track team. She likes him well enough, but isn't hung up on him. This one time encounter results in Juno's pregnancy. She and her best friend Leah decide to take control of the situation by browsing for prospective adoptive parents in the local Pennysaver newspaper, and Juno settles on seemingly the perfect, affluent couple Mark and Vanessa Loring who is desperate to have a child. Junos sensitive father and stepmother are very supportive of her and help Juno with her decision to give the baby up for adoption. Juno and her father check out Mark and Vanessa Loring to see if they are the right couple. As time moves closer to having the baby, Juno grows more into a woman, yet she is still a teenager with all the same problems and a few more.
This movie was hilarious and lived up to the hype it was getting. I connected with it even more knowing it was set in MN, listening to them talk about MN cities made it even funnier. Ellen Page did a great job playing Juno and Michael Cero always makes me laugh. I gave this movie a 3.5 out of 4, because its really hard to get a 4 for me, I prob wont buy it but will rent it in years to come.

| P.S. I Love You Review |
The next movie I saw was P.S. I Love You. This movie brought me to tears, which is not very hard but the plot called for tears.
Summary: On a country road in Ireland over ten years ago, it was love at first sight for Holly, a lost young tourist and Gerry, a charming local lad. Hollys formidable mother disapproved of the couple, concerned that her spirited daughter was too young for marriage. In the years since, the once fearless Holly has become unsure of her own identity. When Gerry dies with a brain tumor and leaves Holly a widow just shy of her thirtieth birthday, her family and best friends are concerned that she will never emerge from her takeout container-strewn Manhattan apartment. After weeks holed up watching old movies, a birthday cake and tape recording message from Gerry mysteriously arrives, marking the beginning of a series of letters instructing her to perform unusual requests. With the help of her girlfriends, Holly begins a year of wild adventures and a life journey that Gerry has planned for her, helping her to discover who she is without him and reminding her - p.s. I Love You.
I gave this movie 2.75 stars because it was predictable and I had a hard time connecting with Hilary Swanks character. The ending was very good and I was actually surprised. It was cute but not a definite buy for me. |

| August Rush Movie Review |
Hello Everyone, I will be updating my blog with movie reviews and exciting news in my life.
I'm starting with August Rush.
Summary: The story of a charismatic young Irish guitarist and a sheltered young cellist who have a chance encounter one magical night above New York's Washington Square, but are soon torn apart, leaving in their wake an infant, August Rush, orphaned by circumstance. Now performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger, August uses his remarkable musical talent to seek the parents from whom he was separated at birth.
BTW I did not write that, thanks IMDB :) I thought the movie got a little cheesy at times, but the music was fantastic and I love Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Keri Russell so I gave it 2 and a half stars out of 4.
