Cinema and Movies in General

Analize That (2002) – It was on TV the other day…

Perfume:The Story of a Murderer (2006) – Finally I got to see this film. Honestly I didn’t enjoy it, but I had to see it for 2 reasons: Alan Rickman was in it, and I read the book a couple of years. (21/02/08);

Ps: I Love you (2007) – Loved it. Chick flick alright, but it was the first film ever to make me cry .

The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) – Well, I had to see it. I’m a Tudor obsessed person… I enjoyed it pretty much, but not the best Tudor recreation. Still, a good film.

Juno (2007) – Diablo Cody deserved the Oscar. Ellen Page was brilliant! Funniest film to date this year.

Batman: The Dark Knight (2008) – Heath Ledger at it’s best. (26.07.08)

Prince Caspian (2008) – We had a kid to entertain. Good though… (05.08.08)
