Its 19 for April

19. Doubt (7.5/10)
Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Streep), the rigid and fear-inspiring principal of the Saint Nicholas Church School, suffers an extreme dislike for the progressive and popular parish priest Father Flynn (Hoffman). Looking for wrongdoing in every corner, Sister Aloysius believes she's uncovered the ultimate sin when she hears Father Flynn has taken a special interest in a troubled boy. But without proof, the only thing certain is doubt. The movie leaves you with questions and your individual interpretation of what the truth is but no one can deny that film has the 4 most powerful acting characters I have ever seen. Streep and Philip Seymor were superb.

18. Step Brothers (5/10)
A 39 and a 40 year old live with his mother and father respectively. When the parents meet, they fall in love and get married hence making the 2 guys step brothers. As their laziness threatens to tear the family apart, these two immature, overgrown boys orchestrate an insane, elaborate plan to bring their parents back together and form an unlikely bond that between them. It wasn't a boring film but a decent time pass watch.

17. Bride Wars (6/10)
2 best friends have always dreamed of the perfect weeding. When they both get engaged, there i a mix up with reservations and their wedding ends up being on the same date at same place. SInce both of them had dreamed of it, neither backs out and the friends turn against each other in a hilarious battle. It was a fun movie to watch on dvd but I would not have paid for it on big screen
