my current netflix i think i will watch today:

"pans labyrinth", "baadshah", and "after the wedding" all foreign. first a spanish, second a bollywood film, and third a danish film.

hope they're good! i've heard good things about them!!

I thought pans was french?

No, it's about the Spanish Civil War. But the director is Mexican.

Thanks Alex! I never saw the movie but Neil said it was a French film a few weeks ago so I just assumed he was correct.

Also, we watched Perfect Stranger last night and it was better than I expected. I definately didn't expect the twist at the end though. The whole time I was thinking it wasn't the person they were trying to say it was but I didn't expect it to be the different person that it was. Crazy! Sorry if that sounded weird but I was trying to word it so not to spoil the film for anyone who wants to se it.

Went to see The Bucket List today and it was quite good. It was a bit different than I expected and a little sad at the end but overall good.

I recommend Perfume, if people can get around the main character's aberrent behaviour...

Hey, sereia! Was the Bollywood film good ? I love Amores Perros & Y Tu Mama Tambien... some of my favorite Spanish movies.

I borrowed a cd of the movie "Om Shanti Om" from a girl at work (she loves Indian movies) and it was okay. I like some of the songs from the movies. I want to find a good movie with a moving story. Have any kleenex-type recommendations?

Recent movies I watched:

I am Legend - Didn't like the movie overall... but i did cry once

The Bourne Ultimatum - we didn't finish it

Superbad - funny

I'm downloading the Invisible, The Kingdom, and Notes on a Scandal and Stranger Than Fiction

Any thoughts on those movies ?

bollywood films are ALWAYS good! well no, but i like at least most of them i've seen and love a few! if you ever want recommendations i can give you some! we got a new one in called "duplicate" last night but i fell asleep too early so we'll have to start it over tonight!

we also went to see the opening of "RAMBO" yesterday. my husband really wanted to go and i thought i would be able to have a really long nap...but i actually enjoyed it. i have to admit it was really cheesy...but the explosions and gore were pretty cool.

I really liked Notes on a Scandal the old lady was a complete nutter. Loved it!

Saw 3:10 to Yuma the other night. Bloody brilliant. Really want to see Michael Clayton, next.

I checked out the guardian from the library and have been meaning to watch it for about a week. I think I'll pop it in in a bit to keep my mind off of eating. I need entertainment

[Marilyn. 340]

the Guardian was a pretty good movie

I liked 3:10 to Yuma - Russell Crowe and Christian Bale aside - Ben Foster (from Buffy) plays the pyscho lieutenant. He's a pretty good actor - was in 30 Days of Night too (which I also quite liked).

Saw Michael Clayton in the cinema - it was ok, but not all that memorable. The story is easy to follow - but I couldn't connect to it.
