by Samantha Glavin April 29th, 2011 | Independent, Movie Reviews, Romance, Sci-Fi
Happy Accidents (2000) is perhaps one of the oddest movies I’ve ever seen. But it’s one I’d watch again in an instant.

The highly anticipated Battle: Los Angeles (2011) finally gives moviegoers this missing link in a
