It’s hard to believe that 16-year-old Dakota Fanning plays teenage pill-popping, sexified rockstar Cherie Currie in The Runaways, considering that four years ago her leading role was Fern in the kids flick Charlotte’s Web.

Death at a Funeral
– August 22, 2010
Originally filmed in Britain in 2007, Death at a Funeral is an absolute hysterical comedy film filled with over-the-top shenanigans! I actually saw the British version years ago and remembered it being a downright funny movie. When I heard the “Americanized” Death at a Funeral was being released, I knew it would not be a movie to miss!
