On Christmas Eve, I stumbled across Charade, a movie starring Cary Grant and Aubrey Hepburn. It is a thriller mixed with romantic comedy. The gender roles in the film are outdated. A leading Hollywood studio would not dare to make such a portrayal today. The dialogues between Grant and Hepburn are very funny. Nobody could be this eloquent in real life—or at least, I have not met anyone who can consistently be intelligent, funny, and persuasive in daily interactions.Charade

If you are looking for a holiday movie that will enchant you, do not choose Our Little Secret on Netflix. The premise sounded promising, but the plot is too predictable, and the characters feel like they were crafted by amateur hands. The only thing I enjoyed was studying Lindsay Lohan’s face and trying to imagine how the once-cute girl ended up with such a swollen appearance. I haven’t seen her since Mean Girls, so I was a bit surprised by her current look.Our Little Secret

Crocodile Dundee was made with $7 million and took in over $300 million at the box office. It was the commercially most successful Australian film ever. Because the film became so popular, I wasn’t sure whether I had seen it or not. It turns out I had never seen at least the first “Crocodile Dundee” movie, and I fully appreciate why it was so successful. It is utterly charming. A young journalist happens to be in Australia when she hears the news that a man in the outback was attacked by a crocodile and then managed to rescue himself through an ordeal of several days.Crocodile Dundee

This film is inspired by *Pretty Woman. *This time, the girl is a graduate of Stanford University who found out that she can make easy money by not using her degree from the elite university. The boy/man in this film is not rich. In fact, he is so behind in his rent that he reluctantly goes back to his father to get a cash infusion. The more salient new twist is this: our boy/man has a sex addiction.The Escort

Indian parents, even in the United States, still feel entitled that they can help find spouses for their children. Caucasian parents no longer have those rights. This romantic comedy of a man and woman of Indian descent who are living in the USA and are (n their mid-twenties is very creative. Except for a final scene, the film plays only in the house of the lady. The two seem to be a perfect mismatch. The woman goes on set-up dates by her mother so her mother pays the rent for her house.7 Days
