Penelope:
this is one of my favorite movies. christina ricci. james mcavoy. it's amazing. it's beautiful. it's funny. it also makes every girl in the world who's ever been the slightest bit insecure feel infinitely better about herself.

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium:
my mom took me to see this movie the first time. i was not excited to see it. i thought it looked strange. however, the second this movie started, i was entranced. along with just being great, it's also beautifully filmed.

Some Kind Of Wonderful:
remember how all through pretty in pink you want ducky to get the girl? how no matter how many times you watch it, it still kind of breaks your heart when andy goes after blaine? well, apparently john hughes heard the pleas of the people. he wrote another movie, made ducky female, and named her watts. he called that movie some kind of wonderful. and it is wonderful.
