Penelope


Penelope (Christina Ricci) is born with a pig nose thanks to a curse running in her blue blood family. Unable to bear the shame of having such an offspring, her parents hide her away in their mansion from public view. The curse can only be broken when she finds true love. So when she reaches a marriageable age, they start to fret like Indian parents and bring in suitors who run from her with great speed. Will she or won't she find true love? The desire to find out will surely make you go and watch this silly but enjoyable film.

Black Snake Moan

Coming together of two people who need to let their past go. Samuel L Jackson delivers a top performance as a disgruntled farmer who is trying to forget his marriage, and Christina Ricci (stands out as well) who is ore the confused with life. A funky movie with a good soundtrack (S L J playing the blues) but fails to ore the impress.
