Katie Holmes and Jennifer Lopez
40. Pieces of April. Quote: "This way, instead of April showing up with some new piercing or some ugly new tattoo and, God forbid, staying overnight, this way, we get to show up, experience the disaster that is her life, smile through it, and before you know it, we're on our way back home."

Very good movie - 2 thumbs up. I'd watch it again. The cast is awesome. I think this is the first movie of Katie Holmes that I watch, and she's good. Patricia Clarkson is scary as a mother.
41. Maid In Manhattan. Quote: "What we do, Miss Ventura, does not define who we are. And although we serve them, we are not their servants."

It's ok. Too fairy talish. I like fairy tales but this one is a bit much, especially the premise was a lie. However, I try to think if Cinderella started with a lie - kind of right? Well, I kind of bother by the fact that Jennifer tried on guest's cloth - I'm too critical, I guess. Anyway, also they need the vehicle to have the 2 leads together at the end, so the son had to do it - I don't like that, either ... I can see the point that he overcame fear of public speaking, but ...

20. The First Two Lives of Lukas-Kasha
The First Two Lives of Lukas-Kasha is a fun read, but I guess I'm too old for it. The ending was a surprise but logical.
