"The Chubbchubbs!" is a cute little film about an alien janitor (Bradford Simonsen - voice) who aspires to be a great singer. He has a little crush on the Singing Diva (Mortonette Jenkins - voice) at the "Ale E Inn." When he hears that the Chubbchubbs are invading, he tries to warn the people in the Inn, but they don't listen to him. When the Chubbchubbs finally come, everyone is in for a surprise in an ironic twist. I would recommend this film as a really fun short film!

"P.S. I Love You" was an absolutely touching and fabulous romantic comedy. The film is the story of Holly (Hilary Swank), who has just lost her husband, Gerry (Gerard Butler). Gerry has left Holly ten letters to help guide her after his death. Gerry, who has never made plans before in his life, has actually planned out the delivery of these letters to Holly following his death. The letters arrive via mailboxes, singing leprechauns and more. All of the letters end with a final "P.S. I love you," hence, the name of the film. Gerry's hope is to get Holly to experience life and not hold back and mourn. With the help of her friends, Denise (Lisa Kudrow) and Sharon (Gina Gershon), Holly does experience many new things and gets her life back. The letters lead the trio to Ireland and karaoke bars. Most importantly, the letters lead Holly (SPOILER ALERT) to a new appreciation for life and a new romance.

What I really love about this film (originally based on a book) is the concept of the letters. I think that it's absolutely so sweet and really romantic that Gerry left all of these letters for Holly and wanted to stay with her for as long as possible. While some may view what Gerry did as prolonging the agony of mourning a loved one's death, I think that it was a way for Holly to say goodbye. Holly never really had the chance to say goodbye to Gerry because he died from a sudden brain tumor. The plot of the movie is just amazing. I particularly enjoyed the scenery in the film. The scenery was particularly appropriate to the plot of the film. The scenes filmed of Ireland were breathtaking. I would highly recommend this film, and I will definitely watch it again.
