Adam's Rib: This is a funny movie, but more than that it's a movie about laws and equality, specificly equality between women and men. Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy play a married couple of lawyers who find themselves testing their relationship when they go against each other in court. I think this must have been quite a monumental movie, such issues were not common place then as they are today. I still don't know how to take this movie, there are many blows forged for women's equality, but it almost feels bitter sweet, I could just not be seeing, but it feels like the dominant male sentiment of the day, has the last laugh in the end.

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not: This was a movie that I'd wanted to see at international cinema but missed, I wasn't quite sure what to expect but the preview I saw must have looked cool or something. This movie is French and half chick flick, half horror movie, I felt a lot safer in the world before watching this movie. The way the story is portrayed is not done in the traditional sense but from two different sides, first we see the story from the girl's point of view, then from the guys and the difference in their point of views is quite a shock. This isn't a movie that I ever want to see again, in fact I'm wishing that I hadn't seen it because it really creeped me out.

The Bourne Ultimatum: I am a fan of the whole trilogy and I think this might be the coolest of them all. These movies are flawless and each one ups the ante. In this movie Bourne finally makes it back to his beginning and seems to have gotten away from the CIA once and for all...unless there's another movie that I haven't heard about.

Sabrina: There are two versions of this movie, the original with Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart and the newer one with Harrison Ford and Juila O.... I forget, at any rate, I am talking about the original. I love this movie, it's a charming Cinderella story with very witty humor. This is the movie where Hepburn and Givinchy got together. I like both versions of this movie but this version is my favorite, I find Bogie more believable as Linus Larabee, William Holden more charming and of course how could anyone out do Audrey Hepburn?
