Writers: Susan Gauthier,Bruce Graham
Stars: Meg Ryan,John Cusack,Christopher Lloyd


Plot:
The only surviving child of the Russian Royal Family hooks up with two con men while the undead Rasputin seeks her death.

Personal Review:
This is one of my favorite cartoon movies.It was actually the first one I saw when I was a child.Every time I watch it I get a little bit emotional even though it does have a happy-ending.It's not a princess fairytale like some other films that little girls watch.It's a movie for all the family and I chose to write about it because it is set in Russia during the winter so it has some Christmas spirit in it.Also I love the song Once upon a December,it's like it can travel me to another time..


Cast:
Meg Ryan-Anastasia
John Cusack-Dimitri

Stars: Audrey Hepburn,George Peppard,Patricia Neal


Plot:
A young New York socialite becomes interested in a young man who has moved into her apartment building.

Personal Review:
Finally,after a lot of years I managed to watch this movie.I did like it but not as much as I thought I would and that's because it is one of the best movie ever been created.I think that in my mind I was expecting something that would amaze me and that thing didn't came out as I expected.Of course Audrey Hepburn was really pretty.I do recommend it and it's worth watching just to see the last scene.and one more thing,if you're about to watch it,have in mind that it was made a lot of years ago.

Audrey Hepburn-Holly Golightly
George Peppard-Paul Varjak

Director: Mikael Hafstrom
Writers: Michael Petroni,Matt Baglio
Stars: Colin O'Donoghue,Anthony Hopkins,Ciaran Hinds


Plot:
An American seminary student travels to Italy to take an exorcism course.

Personal Review:
It certainly wasn't the best horror film I've seen.It was ok though...At some points I was frightened because I didn't know what to expect but generally it reminded me a lot of "Illuminati".But of course i liked Illuminati more than that.The only thing I have to state is that I'm tired of watching Anthony Hopkins going crazy.He did it once in Haniball and once again in a movie like Haniball so ok stop it now.He is a good actor but I don't need to watch another scene with him trying to kill.

Colin O'Donoghue-Michael  Kovak

Plot:
After spending the night together on the night of their college graduation Dexter and Em are shown each year on the same date to see where they are in their lives. They are sometimes together, sometimes not, on that day.

Personal Review: Even though I'm not usually fond of romantic movies because they just make us create stories about true love in our mind but I liked this one very much.It was a very original idea to create a movie like that and even though when I first heard about it I though "Oh great another stupid-crying movie".It wasn't like that,not at all.It was a really great one.Well,as usual I couldn't cry,I can't cry when I watch movies like that.Unexpected plot,great actors,very good story,worth watching!!!It even put me in temptetion of reading the book..

Plot:

Personal Review:Generally,I must admit it was a good movie.I liked it.At some points it was funny and the actors were very good(even though I must admit that I felt like something was wrong with Ryan Gosling,I mean where is the gorgeous guy we saw at the notebook??).Rather interesting plot,of course you almost knew what was going to happen so there were no surprises.The only thing I'd like it to be different was the end..It was a cliche-happy-ending...But it's worth watching it,if you like comedies of course.

Horrible bosses



"Horrible bosses" is a comedy film.
Seth Gordon

Director: Seth Gordon
Writers: Michael Markowitz,John Francis Daley
Stars: Kevin Spacey,Colin Farrell,Jennifer Aniston


Plot:
Three friends conspire to murder their awful bosses when they realize they are standing in the way of their happiness.

Personal Review:First of all I have to say that I didn't fully watch it so the things i write might be wrong.But I only missed the end so I guess that my critic will be right...First of all,ok it was a good idea as a movie because there are people who indeed hate their bosses.What I hated about it was the humor because it didn't make me laugh except for a few times.They always talk about sex and stuff so personally I can't laugh with that.Of course if you like american comedies then you'll propably like this one too..


Cast:
Charlie Day-Dale Arbus
Jason Bateman-Nick Hendricks
Jason Sudeikis-Kurt Buckman
Colin Farrell-Bobby Pellit
Jennifer Aniston-Dr.Julia Harris
