It Could Happen to you

5 STARS!!! This is the cutest movie. A quirky little romance about finding true love. My favorite part about it is that the guy is married, and trying his best to make it work. He really loves his wife but its clear that she isn't feeling the same. You will have to watch the movie but it is clear that second chances can happen. I am a romantic so I LOVE this movie but if your not, its not for you. Unless you like to criticizes romances for being a little cheesy. Anyhow its based on a true story so you can always say your doing your history homework. Click here to start studying.

Summery from Netflix:
In this charming romantic comedy based on a true story, a coffee-shop waitress (Bridget Fonda) gets a life-changing tip when a New York cop (Nicolas Cage) comes up short on pocket change and promises her half of his winnings from an unplayed lottery ticket. But when he discovers he's won a $4 million jackpot, his money-hungry wife (Rosie Perez) wants it all -- and she's furious with his plans to share the wealth.

The Breakfast Club

You might remember this movie from the 80's. I really liked it! On the surface it exams the school system, how kids are put in to categories "a brain, a princess, a fag, a freak" and how it effects their lives academical and personally. However, this movie examines so much more. What makes us human? Why do we do what we do? Why do we care about others?  For answer to these question and more watch The Breakfast Club.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

4 Stars! This story is so sad so I hope you like to cry. The story does move slowly but if you like WWII fiction this movie is well worth the wait. Its a very touching tale of friendship but more important it examines what really makes us different.Who was really guilty? Does it matter in  the end?

The Summory according to Netflix:
When his family moves from their home in Berlin to a strange new house in Poland, young Bruno (Asa Butterfield) befriends Shmuel (Jack Scanlon), a boy who lives on the other side of the fence, where everyone seems to be wearing striped pajamas. Unaware of Shmuel's fate as a Jewish prisoner or the role his own Nazi father plays in his imprisonment, Bruno embarks on a dangerous journey inside the camp's walls.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 1

Great for the whole family! I give it 5 stars. Fun, adventurous, with lots of hummer. There is some violence so caution for parents who aren't into fight scenes. Over all its a touching story about facing a challenge while living to the fullest.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Book 1summarized by Netflix:
"In the first book of the Avatar saga, two siblings discover a boy named Aang who's been frozen in a block of ice. But the minute they thaw him out -- and the world learns he's the Avatar they've been waiting for -- his destiny takes a dizzying turn. With a crop of new friends, instant celebrity status and the ruthless Fire Nation on his tail, can a 12-year-old boy stay the course on saving the world?"
