A homage to the memory of events that took place on September 11, 2001 in New York. Eleven Directors from around the world put together a series of shorts each one 11 minutes, nine seconds and one frame in length and all based around the consequences of that fateful day. 11'09"01 is a thought provoking and often moving experience that covers many cultures and provides a refreshingly honest and diverse breadth of opinions.

Madonna doesn't try to steal the show and consequently this turns out to be an excellent film. In 1943, with the males away fighting, The All American Girls' Professional Baseball League was formed to keep the National Baseball League running. Hanks is the real star as the cynical manager/coach who learns to love his team. A comic and touching story highlighting many of the contradictions that working women face. High slush factor.

Some movies just ooze fun and this is surely one of them. Ashton and Amanda shine on as different, yet compatible, goofballs in this gentle and well-written romantic comedy.

And at the end of each relationship they stumble upon and/or find each other again. It should be cheesier than it is but the chemistry and obvious fun shared by Peet and Kutcher make this film be
