The Secret Life of Bees was pretty good, depending on your taste (it had very little to do with bees). It's a bit of a tear jerker and not exactly "action-packed" more of a drama.

Hi Ms. Bythewood
I just wanted to say thank you . I'm saying this because watching Love & Basketball really helped me become a better basketball player . Watching this movie has taught me a lot of things and helped me to believe that if you work hard enough and don't give up , you can make your dream come true . Once again , thank you (:
- Judy .
