 | Because I Said So (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.95 Theatre release: Feb 07. Looks like a romantic comedy. I DO allow 'chic flicks' into this list just so you know. Diane Keaton makes this look interesting to me personally. We'll see if it gets to stay in the list till Christmas.
