Plot: A beautiful hooker named Satine (Nicole Kidman) becomes the object of a really hot writer's (Christian's) affection... also, this hideous, evil rich dude called the Duke likes her. And they're got friends. Lots of them... circus-lookin' folk, even. Christian (Ewan McGregor) writes a musical for Satine and all his friends to be in! But will the evil rich dude ruin the show as well as a beautiful relationship? P.S. Satine's got quite a cough. What's up with that? Holly's Overall Thoughts: This was the best movie of all time. Ewan McGregor, in all his hotness, pulled off the most heart-wrenchingly emotional scene I've ever seen. And oh God, that singing voice! Also, Nicole did very well. And there was glitter and theatre everywhere! Does it get any better than that?! Hot Guy: Ewan McGregor, the epitome of hotness. Great Songs: "Come What May", "Elephant Love Medley", "Your Song", "Roxanne", "The Show Must Go On", etc. Moment You Should Watch For: When Christian goes to Satine to tell her, "I don't want you to sleep with [the duke]." Even though he's proven himself this amazing, talented, romantic hero, he just seems like a lost little boy who doesn't want his mom to leave him at pre-school. She tries to go and he gets all choked up, holding her and crying, "No... no." 2. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Plot: It's Harry Potter's (Daniel Radcliffe's) third year at Hogwarts, and it's gonna be awesome. Well, you know, except for the guy who betrayed Harry's parents and sent them to their deaths. Yeah, that guy's back in the picture. It'll be fun. Will Harry and Hermione (Emma Watson) hook up in this movie? Probably not, since they didn't in the book, eh? But maybe the next movie! Wait, no... that's based on the book too! But maybe the next... no, wait... Holly's Overall Thoughts: If you don't love this movie, I probably don't love you. It's Harry Potter, for God's sake! And it features Hermione, my favorite character! And Buckbeak is there. Anyway, I think this Harry Potter movie has been the best of the three that have come out so far. It was brilliantly directed, and kept me on the edge of my seat, even though I knew what was coming. Hot Guy: Daniel Radcliffe, A.K.A. Mr. Hot Great Songs: That "Something Wicked This Way Comes" song was pretty catchy. Moment You Should Watch For: Harry holding Hermione in a moment of terror. I know what kind of terror, but I won't tell you, in case you haven't seen the movie yet. 3. Edward Scissorhands
Plot: The friendly neighborhood Avon lady (Diane Wiest) isn't having a lot of luck selling her products this season. But look! In the distance! A creepy castle on a hill, which contains a very hot gothic boy who has scissors for hands (Johnny Depp)! His face is all pale and scarred up from him accidentally scratching his face (it was itchy, dammit), so she can test her products out on him and he can come to live with her and her family! But wait... who's that beautiful girl? Why, the Avon lady's daughter is a lovely teenage girl named Kim (a blonde Winona Rider), with whom Edward falls instantly in love. But Kim is dating a horrible guy named Jim who happens to hate Edward. How will Edward handle this (or anything at all, without scratching it up)? Holly's Overall Thoughts: Ah, my latest obsession. I loved this movie when I was 6, and I love it even more now that I've devloped an unhealthy obsession with Johnny Depp. I love him in this--he's so polite and sweet, and little boyish. What a doll... I want to take him home and put makeup on him. Hot Guy: Johnny Depp--the hottest guy ever to live. Great Songs: The score is by Danny Elfman, the guy who did Spiderman, and the music sounds awesome. Moment You Should Watch For: I'm a sucker for when Kim asks Edward to hold her and he tries really hard before he defeatedly tells her, "I can't." 4. Orange County
Plot: Shaun Brumder (Colin Hanks) discoveres a book in the sand in his home town of Orange County, CA that makes him want to be a writer--a writer taught by the book's author, Marcus Skinner, at Stanford University. So he applied... and didn't get in. Now he and his drug-addict brother Lance (Jack Black), eternal optimist girlfriend Ashley (Schuyler Fisk) will do anything to get Shaun into Stanford. Holly's Overall Thoughts: Orange County isn't just a place... it's my whole reason for living. Hee. No, I don't love it that much, that was just a line from the movie. A lot of people hate this movie, but I love it, and think it's one of the most hilarious things ever, especially the old chick who says, "Do you like John Grisham? I sure do!" Hot Guy: Colin Hanks and one of Shaun's surfer dude friends... Colin reminds me of his dad Tom, but hotter. Great Songs: "Shadow Stabbing" by Cake and "California" by Phantom Planet Moment You Should Watch For: After Lance burns down the admissions building and is talking to Ben Stiller about it. "She was all like, 'I hate my job, I'm gonna burn this mother down!' and I said, 'You better not! You better not.'" 5. Benny & Joon
Plot: Benny (Aidan Quinn) has no life outside of working on cars and taking care of his "mentally ill" sister (she might be autistic, they never say). After spotting Sam (Johnny Depp) in a tree, Joon wins him in a card game. No, I'm serious. She wins Johnny Depp in a card game. He must be autistic or something too, but he's so eccentric, talented, and charming that Joon falls in love with him, and he falls in love with her. Meanwhile, Benny's still trying to find himself a girlfriend. Will he pull it off? Because, I mean, he doesn't look very good compared to Johnny Depp. Holly's Overall Thoughts: What a sweet, amazing movie this is. I want to know where the hell I can find a card game in which I have a chance of winning autistic Johnny Depp. If you don't like this movie, I will personally stab you in the eye. Hot Guy: Johnny Depp... still the hottest guy ever Great Songs: Sam plays a really cool song with a balloon as his instrument. Moment You Should Watch For: Sam and Joon's big love scene... it's the sweetest thing you'll ever watch. <3, Holly
