One thought on “Friday movie reviews

  1. I (heart sign) Kat Denning. She was SOOO GOOD in “40 Year Old Virgin.” But what I’d really like to see is a movie that pits Kat Denning against Ellen Page. Maybe have a plot where you’re never quite sure which ones the protagonist and which one’s the antagonist, BUT both have the razor sharp wit.
