4/4 stars
Even though this movie came out in 2000, it feels to me like it's been around forever; it just informed so much of my adolescence. A must for music geeks, Nick Hornby fans, or anyone who likes a good romantic comedy.

The Holiday
3/4 stars
Cameron Diaz has been in a number of fine movies and has often surprised me with good performances, but there's something about her (oh, unintentional joke there) that just doesn't grab me. She just doesn't exude enough emotion to make me interested in her characters. Too bad then, that she apparently has more star power than Kate Winslet, who I haven't really seen in this kind of movie before and does very well, despite the lesser amount of attention given to her storyline.
