  1. Well, haven't known that such talented actors were born on one and the same day!!!
    I like 'Double Jeopardy' starring with Ashley Judd and 'Bride Wars' starring with Kate Hudson. And recently I've watched 'Oz the Great and Powerful' with James Franco. Very nice interpretation of a well-known fairy-tale.
