Dial M For Melissa

Bride and groom, Alison and Phil, are an adorable couple that have planned an elaborate wedding. Alison is not a bridezilla, but instead a high-strung people pleaser, and wants everything to be perfect for everyone, often overlooking her own feelings. Phil is an Alison-pleaser and will do whatever it takes to give her the day of her dreams.

Even though I've never went down the aisle, I've seen enough who have to enjoy a comedy about the big day. Told through the eyes of the wedding videographer (writer/director Vic Quinaz), Breakup at a Wedding is outrageous, but never too over-the-top, which gives it grounded humor.

The cast is all up-and-comers, having been working in comedy in New York and touring around the country. For  most, this is their feature debut, but you'd have no clue, as their timing and wit is phenomenal. The key to the success of this movie is how director Vic Quinaz focused on the improvisational strengths of his cast. Filmed like a documentary, all the lines are delivered fresh and with amazing sincerity.

The film releases on VOD Tuesday, June 18th for $7.99 here.

Happy Father's Day! In honor of the day, I thought I'd highlight five of my favorite movie dads. Each shows abundant love for their children and want nothing but the best for them. Who's your favorite movie dad?

There's something quite magnificent about what has been captured in Storm Surfers. At first I thought I would get bored of seeing ocean waves, but these are not typical waves. The pure scale is astonishing to see. Shot in 3D with their own specifically designed cameras, this is a documentary that takes viewing to another level. With cameras mounted to surf boards, jet skis and even held freehand by the surfers, you'll feel right in the middle of the action.

Saoirse (pronounced "sear-sha") Ronan is quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses and she's only 19! Starting her career at age 9 in television, she was nominated for an Oscar in 2007 for her role in Atonement.

Here roles since have included Death Defying Acts with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Guy Pearce, City of Ember with Bill Murray and then her first starring role in Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones with Mark Walhberg, Susan Sarandon and Stanley Tucci. Jackson wanted an unknown when he cast her, but after her Oscar nomination, the movie got more attention, so it wasn't all bad.
