Alex Whitman (Matthew Perry) is a New Yorker sent to Las Vegas to oversee a construction project. There he meets Isabel Fuentes (Salma Hayek) and some serious chemistry brings them together for one night. But Alex doesn't see Isabel again until 3 months later, when he learns that she is pregnant. On a whim and a prayer, he proposes. However, there's more to marriage than a Vegas chapel and an Elvis impersonator, as Alex and Isabel soon learn… Overall, Fools Rush In follows the same formula of any romantic comedy - Two people fall in love and then a problem arises that breaks them apart for a period of time and then eventually one of them wakes up, the problem is resolved, they say I love you and live happily ever after. - I know, but I still absolutely love this film. There's just something so delightful and enchanting about it. Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek are both so loveable and the story is fresh and vibrant with a big heart. It's one of my all-time favourite movies.

Throughout his life, Edward Bloom (Ewan McGregor) has always been a man of big appetites, enormous passions and tall tales. In his later years,(Albert Finney) however, he remains a mystery to his son, William (Billy Crudup). Now, sitting by his father's deathbed, Will is forced to get to know the real man. By piecing together a true picture of his father from flashbacks of Edward's amazing adventures, he is finally able to understand the great man that his father was. Big Fish is a movie that is as dazzling to watch as it is moving emotionally. I love how it's slightly exaggerated in certain parts and the humour is very subtle. The cinematography is fantastic, the scene when Sandra opens her window and sees Edward standing in a field of daffodils planted there just for her is just incredible. The film has a great cast of actors. Ewan McGregor is probably the best thing in the film, not just because he's basically the life of the story, but the guy can anything, any role he takes on he shines. Albert Finney is also pretty good, I love the scene when he tells Josephine about how he and Sandra met, how he sort of flirts with her at the beginning. I must admit that I'm not the biggest Tim Burton fan, although I do watch his films, most of them anyway. I think Big Fish is one of his best, it's got a bit of everything. Emotion, humour and of course the Tim Burton touch with the surreal visuals. Overall, Big Fish is one-hell-of-a good movie.

While waiting for her husband to return from the war, Grace (Nicole Kidman) and her two children live in a secluded island mansion. Because of the children's incurable condition, the three of them are forced to live a lonely existence behind locked doors, drawn curtains and dim candlelight. Then one day, when a three mysterious servants arrive, strange things begin to happen within the house. Soon, Grace finds herself in a terrifying battle to save her children from these daunting intruders, and to keep her sanity at the same time.

Out of everything in this film, the thing that stands out the most is Nicole's flawless portrayal of Grace, a woman pushed to the edge, by something she can't control. Nicole Kidman has always been my favourite actress (watch Moulin Rouge and you'll understand why). She is truly one of the best actresses in Hollywood today. The way she inhabits the character, and really lives in her skin is incredible. As Grace struggles to uncover the truth about these scary intruders, she becomes quite frightening herself. But towards the end of the movie when she begins to understand, you really see true emotion in her undying love for her children and her willingness to risk anything for them. The rest of the cast also pull off strong performances, especially the children, since they are big parts of the story. Another thing that really stood out was the role the atmosphere played in the movie. Darkness and silence are key to the suspense, tension and mystery of the whole picture and are both well orchestrated well. Overall, not one of the most scariest movies in the world, but definitely full of enough suspense, tension, shocks and surprises to satisfy anyone.
