FILM MARATHON: Julia Roberts #5 – Erin Brockovich [2000]

No Comments 23 June 2010

“They’re called boobs, Ed” It’s one of those stories to show no matter how bad things are when you’re flat broke, single, raising three kids, and unemployed, sometimes having the high-paying job makes it so your personal life is even worse.

FILM MARATHON: Julia Roberts #4 – My Best Friend’s Wedding [1997]

No Comments 21 June 2010

“This is my whole life’s happiness; I need to be ruthless” Okay, for some reason the opening credit sequence to My Best Friend’s Wedding is sort of brilliant.
