My favorite movies

Actually, I don't watch a variety of movies so often, but my favorite movies are 'Twilight' and 'The Devil Wears Prada'. 'Twilight’ is an American romantic fantasy movie and it originally became popular as some series of novel. The main character is a teenage girl, Bella and a vampire, Edward. She had many friends in school but he didn't approach her. She tried to find that why he was reluctant to become a friend of her and found what he really is like.

"There is no place like home."

This is the story that a girl and her dog are lost my a big cyclone and search for a good wizard to go home. It was really interesting because completely different animals or stuffs become nice friends. The line above is said by Dorthy, an heroine. She gets home at last and I think she has a joyous look on her face.
