Drama/Romantic Drama: The Other Sister- 1999

Carla Tate (Juliette Lewis) has an independent streak a mile wide. Trouble is, she's mentally handicapped, and her overprotective parents (Diane Keaton and Tom Skerritt) have misgivings about her getting her own apartment and pursuing a relationship with another mentally challenged person (Giovanni Ribisi). An emotional tour de force for Lewis, The Other Sister is ultimately a triumphant story of perseverance in the face of long odds. (Netflix.com)

Grade: A

Ok, so I've seen this movie before, but, that was a WHILE ago, so I thought I'd give it another watch. MAN, for me, this was totally tear-jerktastic! I mean, it so sweet, and cute, and innocent. It's a movie about two mentally challenged people discovering love for the first time. This is just a really cute movie, and REALLY tugs at the heartstrings, that's for sure. And the parts are played wonderfully. If you're interested in watching a tear-jerker, this is definitely one to check out!

Drama/Romance: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 2008

In this story, Benjamin Button (played by Brad Pitt) is born with a peculiar condition... He is essentially an elderly person, he has the looks and health of someone in their nineties! After his mother dies during child birth, his father contemplates throwing him into a river, but settles on abandoning him on the steps of an old folks home. Luckily for Benjamin he is accepted by the people living there, and from an outsiders point of view blends in seamlessly. This movie fallows the story of his fascinating life.

Grade: A+

This was a WONDERFUL movie! And I'm not just saying that because Brad Pitt was the lead character! :) It was interesting, entertaining, heart felt, and splendidly acted. The idea alone is an awesome concept. It was a touching life story, of a man who was curiously inspiring. I would recommend this to ANYONE, and would watch it again, no problem.

Comedy: Saving Grace 2000

This is a movie about a woman, who, recently widowed, realizes that because of her husbands bad finance habits, she is in a ton of debt. After selling off/having things repossessed, she realizes she needs to come up with some money quick!

Grade: B+

This is a cute comedy about something you probably wouldn't expect,... marijuana! Brenda Blethyn gives a wonderful performance, and Craig Ferguson was funny as always. This is a heart warming comedy adventure. Slightly chick flicky, it was definitely a good movie. If you're interested in watching a feel good comedy about pot, for a more mature audience (and no that's not meant to be sexual, mature as in old,...) this is the one for you!
