Directed by Marc Webb
Starring Zooey Deschanel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Geoffrey Arend, and Matthew Grey Gubler.
"This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story." This movie is nothing short of a love story, yet its a chick flick with a sense of humor. Boy meets girl who now works in his office, girl says she doesn't believe in love and serious relationships, boy falls in love with girl, girl just wants to be friends, guy is broken-hearted, you know the rest. This movie is about how they met, how they lived, and how they parted.

The Punisher (2004)
WARNING: Liberal use of hyphens and exaggerated percentages ahead.
Product of Lions Gate Films.
Directed by Jonathan Hensleigh.
Starring Thomas Jane, John Travolta, and Will Patton.
There is a LOT of fighting in this movie. I enjoy an action movie, and I watch a lot of them. Especially when they are related to a video games and comic books. However, I’m quite sure that 78.4% of this movie is spent with fists flying or bullets penetrating. Sometimes with no background music score at all. The reenactment of an urban Rambo at 1:40:00 is pretty classic to say the least.
