One of those movies that I rented simply because of the hype – wasn’t expecting much. It was wonderful movie – everything I secretly hoped it would be. In a way, it was like a modern-day fairy tale. One of those movies that puts you in a good mood without resorting to the usual predictable “hollywood tactics”. btw: I had thought this was a French movie, but it is in English… just set in France. I did have one question though, did they really have cellophane wrapping in 1950’s rural France? I would think the shop would be more likely to use paper wrappings…

The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Great cold war movie about the every-day dreariness behind the iron curtain. I especially liked the gloomy ending, very non-hollywood. Life is filled with sad endings, I wish people had more of a pallate for them in the movies.
The English Patient
A seriously boring movie. Nothing frickin happens. Who cares?
