Three Movies For This Valentines Day

James Mangold’s romantic comedy, Kate & Leopold, is the film equivalent of fresh bread with butter.

sincerity.

The fairy-tale love story focuses on Buttercup (Robin Wright), a woman whose abducted by criminals, and Westley (Cary Elwes), a farm-hand turned rogue who seeks to save her. The film earned itself the title of Best Dramatic Presentation from the Hugo Awards, due to it’s fantastical story-telling and on-screen chemistry between the characters.
