Titanic: best movie I’ve ever seen in my entire life. it’s a great movie, and as we all know the ship sinks at the end, the whole movie is very romantic because as you watch every little innocent scene between jack (leo dicaprio) and rose (kate winslet), you know time is ticking. i think it’s sad and romantic how jack tells rose to never let go of the promise to live her life at the very end and OMG i loooooove every little thing about this storyline. and leo dicaprio is very hot. and kate winslet is stunning as usual.
King Kong (2005): it has EVERYTHING!! suspense, romance, action, adventure, humor, etc. the special effects=woaaaahhh. i dont care how long the movie is, it’s just fabulous. naomi watts, adrien brody, and jack black were GREAT pretending they saw kong or a dinosaur, etc, when there was nothing actually there as they were filming. and yes, i did cry at the end.every time i watch it, i get teary eyed. i think naomi watts should have been nominated for an oscar for playing ann darrow. peter jackson made a GREAT remake.
Little Miss Sunshine: probably one of the best movies in 2006. it’s hilarious. i love how a little indie movie made it as a nominee for best picture at the oscars!!! :] its a spectacular movie of how a little girl from a dysfunctional family shows everyone what it really means to win. and you gotta love abigail breslin dancing to superfreak!!! lms has a great choice of actors and a wonderful screenplay!!!!!!!!! I love this movie! soo different, what other movie have you seen with a dysfunctional family pushing a yellow bus? GOTTA LOVE IT!!
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape: Leo DiCaprio blew me out of the water. He was that good as playing mentally challenged Arnie. Johnny Depp was great too. He was going through a really tough time and made me believe what Gilbert was going through. I just love this movie cuz its so different and deep. You really feel like you’re a part of the family.
Million Dollar Baby: It’s real, it’s sad, it’s perfect.
Forrest Gump: i love watching forrest in different parts of history, no plot but has a point. it has you laughing and crying.

for the story telling. its has no plot, but it has a point. the special effects are unnoticeable in all the edited historical footage. the music drives the movie well. not a single wasted frame.

SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE

I know, I know…the males are saying…”chick flick”. The truth is that one of the reasons I loved Sleepless In Seattle is BECAUSE of the men that were in this film. Tom Hanks is irresistably and immediately believable as a widow & single father to Jonah (Ross Malinger) by the way, perfectly cast as his son. Rob Reiner is genius and truly funny in his delivery of advise to Hanks about “current dating trends.” Bill Pullman seems oddly cast in theory until you actually feel his passive character, seen best when Meg Ryan (impeccably engaged in this role) releases him from their matrimonial plans. The additional members of the cast such as Rosie O’Donnell (Ryan’s best friend) and Barbara Garrick (Hank’s hyena laughing date) add content and real life to the story. The must see in the film is when Rita Wilson recaps a scene from An Affair to Remember. Victor Garber (Hank’s brother in the movie) and Tom Hanks share the “male comparison” from The Dirty Dozen in one of the funniest scenes of the movie. Of course, the editing is what makes this entire film an engaging classic, and a believable story about fate bringing you to your soul mate and true love.
