May 17, 2007

I watched Masterpiece Theater’s Jane Eyre two days ago and I cannot get it out of my head! It was an unbelievable adaptation of the book. The best.

Daniel Craig, Leonardo DiCaprio

April 11, 2007

Oh. My. Word. Matt Damon move over. Seriously. Get out of my closet.

Last week I saw Casino Royale. I’ve never been a James Bond fan. Everyone said, "It doesn’t matter. This is the one you should see. You’ll love the James Bond franchise after this one."

Go See This Movie

August 22, 2006
