Miss Congeniality Movie
I loved this movie. Sandra Bullock plays Gracie Hart, a dedicated FBI agent to whom her job is everything and her appearance is not that important. Supposedly, she is unattractive, and her male co-workers don’t even notice her as a female (I am saying “supposedly” because, to me, Sandra …

This movie was the most-anticipated summer movie of the year, and people weren’t disappointed! It features new characters such as The Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko, and Don Cheadle as War Machine. I personally think Scarlett played a major role here and it …

Movie A time for dancing

Untraceable (R, 2009)
