`CINEMATHERAPIST' OFFERS OSCAR MOVIES AS THERAPY

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- When is an Oscar-nominated motion picture not just a movie? When it's used as therapy. According to writer and self-proclaimed "cinematherapist" Beverly West, viewing any one of the current crop of Best Picture nominees can be a great way to treat personal problems. She claims "The Sixth Sense" is a great to watch when you're getting a divorce because it reminds you that there are still happy endings in life. Women who are fed up with men should watch "The Insider," because it shows a man who's a real life hero. "The Cider House Rules" can help you resolve any "father issues" you might have, while "American Beauty" encourages you to follow your dreams. Finally, West says "The Green Mile" is the best film to watch when you're having PMS because it will make you cry your heart out and get all your feelings off your chest.
