Who's in it: Lisa Kudrow, Scott Prendergast

What's it about: Jobs come and go for Salman(Prendergast). He gets a call to come to Leslie's(Kudrow), his sister-in-law, house in order to help her with her two sons while her husband is at war in Iraq. The two boys are a huge handful and one threatens to kill Salman, and is serious. Salman gets a job working at BluNeXion, an Internet website. His job is to stand on the side of an old road and give out flyers. The costume he is required to wear gets him a job at a children's party. Here he connects with his nephews as another person. When, Salman learns that Leslie is cheating on his brother, he is determined to prove that his brother is the one for her

What I Think: I found this movie just browsing the shelves. I had never heard of it before, but when I walked by, the case just jumped into my arms. I wasn't sure why, but I was immediately drawn to the movie. I had one of the strongest connections with Prendergast and his character. I felt like I truely knew him in real life. The story was really good and the music that was associated with the movie was perfect. Kudrow was in a different element I thought and I was impressed with her talent and flexibility. Prendergast wrote, directed, and starred in the movie and I found that truely impressive. He did an amazing job and I hope to see him in more movies. The cover art was very intelligent. It might not look like much, but the colour scheme and using complimentary colours is was really jumped out at me.

P.S. I Love You

P.S. I Love You

Who's in it: Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler, Harry Connick Jr., Lisa Kudrow, Kathy Bates, Gina Gershon

What's it about: Holly(Swank) and Gerry(Butler) were happily wedded. They had their moments of hostility, but they always made it through. When Gerry dies of a brain tumor, Holly goes into a downspiral of being a widow. Her mother(Bates) tries to help. When Holly starts to receive letters from Gerry, she begins to have hope again. She goes to Ireland with her best friends Denise(Kudrow) and Sharon(Gershon) and Holly's friend Daniel(Connick) begins to fall for her. The letters will eventually stop, but she doesn't know if she'll be ready.

What I Think: This is my favourite movie of all time. My favourite actress and my favourite actor in the same movie. Butler was only in the movie for a short time, but I loved every second of him. Swank was absolutely amazing, but I must say that her sad face looks kind of weird. Connick Jr. was adorable with his 'rude' self. Bates always plays an amazing character and this movie didn't hold her back. Kudrow is starting to get old, but her one little speech in the karaoke bar was PRICELESS!
