DVD Review - Vantage PointThis was a cool concept movie - I immediately liked the idea of this movie. In Vantage Point, we get to see several different people’s experiences of the same event. Each of the people inch us closer to what really happened.
Movie Review - PenelopeThis movie is about a girl who, through no fault of her own, lives with a curse that gave her the face of a pig. The only way to break the curse is to marry a blue blood like her, and her mother has devoted her life to breaking the curse. Penelope has always been kept inside to protect her from what the outside world might think of her. The story follows Penelope through her journey to break the curse.

My father often talked about the same sense of wanderlust, though he actually took off after he graduated high school, and he and a friend went to Montana and Mexico and back again. His experiences on his trip have made for a lifetime of stories and friends.

DVD Review: The Nanny DiariesWhat is life like for the incredibly rich child? The Nanny Diaries, based on the book by the same name, explores the topic from a cultural view point. The movie is centered on Annie Braddock, a young college graduate that wanders into the world of high class New York, well at least into their playrooms
