My latest splurge...

Here are the latest addition to my collection:

A Walk To Remember stars pop star Mandy Moore and Once and Again's Shane West. This film had me wiping my face full of tears in the end. It's definitely a must-see for the sentimental types.

When I first saw Never Been Kissed I didn't enjoy it that much since the copy a friend lent me was somehow third-rate. Now I have all the time to enjoy this Drew Barrymore flick.

The film A Beautiful Mind was something I really waited for way back 2001. When I heard good reviews about it, I immediately searched the web about its plot and the life story of Prof. John Nash, beautifully played by Russel Crowe. I was so disappointed that he lost to Denzel Washington (Training Day) that year, when all Denzel did in that film was scream and fire his gun! Likewise with Halle Berry who bagged that year's Oscar for the film Monster's Ball. I know she's a great actress yet I thought Nicole Kidman was better in Moulin Rouge.

Finally, I now have a copy of American Beauty with another favorite, Kevin Spacey. He's really a natural when it comes to portraying "disturbed" characters - remember Seven, K-PAX, and even in the drama The Shipping News and Pay It Forward.

My last splurge - Girl, Interrupted - stars two great actresses, Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie. The latter won for that film her first Academy award for lead actress in a supporting role.

Why only now, you might ask? Honestly, I've been eyeing these titles for a year now, and it was only last week that I got them all on sale, yipee!!! And due to a tight budget (as always, LOL!) I wasn't able to buy three more that I really like. These are 50 First Dates, Moulin Rouge, and There's Something About Mary.

And now I have an empty pocket, hehe!!!
