A fun little thriller set in the English countryside, in the vein of The Sixth Sense. Christina is an American backpacker who loses her memory after being hit by a car.
The Addams FamilyThe Addams Family
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.19
Wonderful movie version of the TV show. Christina's dead-pan delivery was absolutely perfect for Wednesday.
Addams Family ValuesAddams Family Values
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $3.90
Not quite as good as the original, but still fun.
MirandaMiranda
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $1.75
Christina in England again, this time seducing a meek English librarian who would have been right at home in the cast of Shawn of the Dead with a dazzzling array of facades and personalities. Which one is real? You have to watch to find out.
PumpkinPumpkin
Buy used from: $1.65
Playing perhaps the sweetest sorority girl ever seen in movies, she develops feelings for a wheelchair bound mentally challenged boy that her sorority has picked out for their charitable help. The many reactions to the relationship are quite compelling. A well done indie movie.
PenelopePenelope
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $2.48
Sweet sappy sacharine, but Christina is adorable.
The Opposite of SexThe Opposite of Sex
Buy new: $21.49 / Used from: $4.42
A deliciously evil Christina seduces pretty much everything in sight, and manages to maintain her likability, despite portraying one of the most self-centered characters in movie history.
The Man Who CriedThe Man Who Cried
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.77
A stellar cast in a period drama set between WWI & WWII. Christina is a Russian-Jewish girl who is sent to England to escape persecution and joins an opera company, eventually finding love in America.
Anything ElseAnything Else
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $1.82
Obligatory Woody Allen film that accomplished young actresses think they need to do to legitimize their career, with American Pie guy co-starring. On the bright side, it's not Woody's worst movie.
MonsterMonster
Buy used from: $0.01
Reasonably well-done, but substantailly overrated that Oscar voters fawned over for no good reason. At least Woody Allen wasn't in it.
Speed Racer (Widescreen Edition)Speed Racer (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $0.92
Being neither a child nor having severe ADD, this movie didn't really appeal to me, but I suppose it's good for someone quite a bit younger than me.
Black Snake MoanBlack Snake Moan
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $1.99
A movie that managed to be both boring and uncomfortable. Not the best combination for movie making. And Christina's nudity would have been better had she not lost so much weight for the role. Anorexic doesn't look good on her.
MermaidsMermaids
Buy used from: $4.25
Makes The Joy Luck Club look manly.
