Thanks to this challenge, I seem to be crossing many more movies off my wishlist this year and it's all due to the Anime Girls Bookshelf. |

Plot: Three young women vacationing in Paris find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.

4 Out Of 5 Stars... I'm really surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie, it's gotta be the smartest comedy I've seen in a long while and Emma Stone is probably my new favourite actor now!
Justice for Natalee Holloway on Sept 17th
Plot: A movie about the Alabama teenager's mysterious disappearance in Aruba.
Released: 2011

3 Out Of 5 Stars... I got sucked into this real-life mystery very early on but was hugely disappointed with the unexplained ending!

Starring: Nikki Blonsky
Plot: An overweight girl, Maggie Baker, is elected Homecoming queen by the mean girls in the high school.
Released: 2008

2 Out Of 5 Stars... I've never really understood why made for tv movies even exist, they're always pretty awful and this movie is just the same!
Footloose on Sept 18th

Plot: City kid Ren McCormack moves to a small town where rock 'n' roll and dancing have been banned, and his rebellious spirit shakes up the populace.

4 Out Of 5 Stars... I haven't actually seen the original Footloose but this one proved to be more than just a dance flick!
Something Borrowed on Sept 19th

Plot: Friendships are tested and secrets come to the surface when terminally single Rachel falls for Dex, her best friend Darcy's fiancé.

4.5 Out Of 5 Stars... I never really get into sci-fi flicks but I thought I'd give this one a go because of Jake Gyllenhaal... the imdb ratings never lie, this one is pretty great!
Fright Night on Sept 26th
Starring: Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell
Plot: A teenager suspects that his new neighbor is a vampire.
Released: 18 August 2011
