A Knight’s Tale is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s not exactly a chick flick, but there’s enough romance and emotion to make it qualify. This is a chick flick that even the boys can enjoy – plus Heath Ledger was adorable in it as was Shannyn Sossamon, so there’s someone for both genders to drool over. And Paul Bettany (The Secret Life of Bees)… I love that guy. He’s so funny in this movie.
The action is great, the comedy is hilarious and the acting is above-par for a teen flick. A Knight’s Tale is a winner on all fronts.

Okay, Dakota Fanning, I demand to see some ID, because after watching you in The Secret Life of Bees, I do not believe for one second you were born in 1994. There’s just no way, not a chance, because there you are sharing the screen with enormous talents like Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and Paul Bettany and it’s like we’re watching their contemporaries – not someone who is at the very least, ten years younger than the youngest of them.
The Secret Life of Bees is one of those great tear jerker movies that packs a heck of a punch from the very first scene. At times, it’s not easy to watch. You feel so much for Dakota Fanning’s charater, Lily, that seeing what she goes through is a harrowing experience. In the end, though, you are rewarded with a rich, fulfilling movie that makes you appreciate you family and friends.
