PRINCESS DIARIES

This teen comedy from Disney is based on a popular novel by Meg Cabot and directed by Gary Marshall. Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway) is a teenage klutz who's openly mocked by the popular Lana Thomas (Mandy Moore). In fact, Mia's only friend at her exclusive prep school is the socially outcast Lilly. Mia's life takes a dramatic turn, however, when her mom announces that her late biological father was in actuality the crown prince of a small European nation, Genovia. Now Mia is the sole heir to the throne, and her grandmother, Queen Clarisse Renaldi (Julie Andrews) wants to tutor the awkward teen in royal behavior. It's a daunting task given Mia's lax table manners, poise, and hair care, but the girl perseveres with some makeover help from her grandmother's security chief and a style expert. In the meantime, Mia's romantic affections are torn between the handsome, popular Josh (Erik Von Detten) and the more appropriate Michael (Robert Schwartzman), who also happens to be Lilly's brother.

---> i guess in every girl's heart there's always that dream of becoming a princess and in this movie that dream came true. Mia was just an ordinary girl not to mention a nobody. she was sort of the geeky girl who's being teased by the popular ones. but all that changed when she found out that she was a princess, a real princess. its also a funny movie with Mia being such a klutz at times making almost everyone worry if she will be fit of becoming a royalty. but with great perseverance, motivation, and a lot of training from her grandmother, everything went well. its really a big responsibility of becoming a princess thus made it really hard for Mia to decide to choose her extravagant life versus her simple ordinary life. its a good movie teaching us that we should take responsibilities in our life in order for us to grow. taking big steps in our life is a lot risky but putting our hearts into it will make it all worthwhile. Anne Hathaway also did a great job here. i think this is her big break in her career. its a great movie to watch especially to all the girls out there living their normal life but has big dreams inside of them.

::: LINES :::

MICHAEL: Why me?
MIA : Because you saw me when I was invisible.

JOE : [speaking to Mia] Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.

MIA: Now, what did you want to tell me?
QUEEN: Something that, I think, will have a very big impact upon your life.
MIA: I already have braces.
QUEEN: No, it's bigger than orthodontia.

QUEEN: You are princess of Genovia.
MIA: Me, a princess? [shouts]
MIA: Shut up!
QUEEN: I beg your pardon, "Shut up"?
CONSULATE: Oh, your majesty, in America, it doesn't always mean to be quiet. Here it could mean "Wow, gee whiz, golly wolly"...

QUEEN : Helen, if Amelia refuses to accept the throne, then Genovia will cease to exist as we know it.
HELEN: So the future of your country is in the hands my 15-year-old?

MIA: You know most kids hope for a car for their 16th birthday, not a country!

MIA: [driving in the rain] Is this punishment for driving without a licensed driver in the front seat?
[lies down on the front seat]
MIA: I am invisible, and I am wet.

Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all.

JOE: Princess, look out the window, and welcome to Genovia.

LAST HOLIDAY

In this comedy, a woman learns to love life when she finds out she won't be around long. Georgia Byrd (Queen Latifah) lives in New Orleans, where she works in the cookware department of an upscale gourmet supply shop. While Georgia carries a torch for Sean (LL Cool J), one of her co-workers, she doesn't have the nerve to tell him, and despite her estimable skills in the kitchen, she lives frugally and doesn't put her talent to use. Georgia's good friend Rochelle (Jane Adams) often tells her that life is short and she needs to live a little, but she doesn't pay her much mind until a visit to the doctor reveals that Georgia has a very rare medical condition, and only has three weeks to live. Throwing caution to the wind, Georgia cashes out her life savings and heads to Europe for a last bit of revelry. She checks into a four-star hotel, trades her drab clothes for haute couture, finds herself flirting with a handsome and powerful politician (Giancarlo Esposito), convinces the head of a cooking supplies firm (Timothy Hutton) that she's a high-powered executive from a rival company, and makes friends with a four-star chef (Gérard Depardieu). But when Sean learns the truth about Georgia's condition, he sets out to find her before their chance at romance has passed. Directed by Wayne Wang, Last Holiday is a remake of a 1950 British comedy, which starred Alec Guinness as a salesman with a few weeks to live.

---> what are you going to do if you found out that you only have a few more weeks to live in this world? you cry yourself out? you'd go and tell everyone how much they mean to you? you do crazy things? well, for me, id do exactly what Georgia did in this movie. she has this book of possibilities wherein she wrote/compiled everything she ever wanted to do in her life. from having the man she adores, meeting her favorite chef, staying in at her desired hotel and many many more. its only normal if we have these ambitious dreams. its kind of having a motivation in life or like having a purpose. i was really envious of her after watching this movie cause everything she did was really cool and extravagant and i definitely want that too. its a good movie telling us not to waste a moment in our life, to do the things we want most in life and things that would make us happy. it has a simple storyline but i would say its a worth watching movie. its a little dramatic, funny and uplifting.

GEORGIA: Next time... we will laugh more, we'll love more; we just won't be so afraid.

[Adamian is making Georgia listen to Kragen's CD]
Kragen'sVoice: Rule One: Life is not a popularity contest, but it is a contest. Boo-hoo, they don't like me. Rule Two: You grab that scared little loser inside you and you beat the living crap out of him. Rule Three: When is enough enough? Enough is *never* enough.
[Georgia takes the CD out and breaks it]

C L I C K

On the surface, Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) seems to have it all, yet with all the demands forced upon him by his ungrateful boss (David Hasselhoff), Michael finds that setting aside time to spend with his loving wife, Donna (Kate Beckinsale), and two picture-perfect children, Ben (Joseph Castanon) and Samantha (Tatum McCann), has grown increasingly difficult. When a frustrating bout with the television remote leads the overworked husband and father to a nearby Bed, Bath & Beyond in search of a universal remote with the power to control all of his electronic devices, a curious peek into the back room leads Michael into the company of eccentric employee and talented inventor Morty (Christopher Walken). It seems that Morty has created a device that will not only allow Michael complete control over his television and stereo, but his entire life as well. As Michael discovers that the remarkable device has the power to muffle the barks of the family dog, zoom himself past an irritating quarrel with his wife, and even allow him to travel back and forth through time to different points in his life, the rush of being able to skip straight to the good parts in life soon leaves him feeling as if he's missing out on the total experience. Only when Michael begins to realize that the he has lost control of his life and the remote is now programming him does he finally learn that life is as much about the moments he'd rather forget as it is the moments he will always remember.

---> another movie from the great actor Adam Sandler and what do you expect? of course a comedy. however, this is not only a funny movie but a very heart warming one too. you'd think that it will be all laughs but this film has a lot of significant points shown. it is mostly about how important life is, how every second matters, how we deal with our everyday life, how we should be able to cope and overcome trials and then eventually, learn from it. this movie even made me cry a bit a couple of times as it approached its ending, the part where he run as he tried to get hold of his family and the part when he was given a chance to see his father one last time. the film truly portrayed the value of a family thus its a good family movie. in fact, its a highly recommended movie for everyone to see. with its great message, excellent actors and an extremely creative story that made a lot of sense.
