Confessions of a Shopaholic

Rebecca Bloomwood has a major shopping addiction but she's in debt up to her Gucci neckline and she's just lost her job. As a result of a letter mailing mix-up she unintentionally lands a job with a financial paper where she unwittingly becomes a star when she writes an article about how to handle money - something she clearly cannot do. Living a huge lie and with a very persistent debt collector on her tail, Rebecca finds herself in big trouble.

A disappointing film from a really, really good book. Why do they always do this? The same thing happened with 'In Her Shoes' - nothing more to say. Don't bother with this movie.

Flightplan

Kyle Pratt (Jodie Foster), an aviation engineer, is flying back to the USA from Berlin bringing with her a coffin containing her husband's body, and her six year old daughter. Three hours into the flight, Kyle wakes up to discover her daughter is missing. The crew tell her she did not board with a child and must be suffering from psychological trauma caused by the tragic death of her husband. But Kyle knows otherwise and on a double-decker plane that she helped to design she finds she has to take matters into her own hands to find her child.

Edge of the seat thriller that held our attention from start to finish. We spent most of movie second guessing only to discover we were wrong. Jodie was brilliant but we were particularly impressed by Peter Sarsgaard who played the understanding air marshall. A really good movie that we highly recommend.
