I love any movies featuring opera or classical music themes therefore loved The Music Teacher. Got such a crush on Jose Van Dam. A bit of a cheesy movie but very entertaining and sung with such passion by Mr. Van Dam. Yummy. I would take him over Brad Pitt any day, lol.

"Four Lions." This is absolutely one of the funniest movies I have EVER seen. Hilarious from start to finish.


"Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) farce. In a storm of razor-sharp verbal jousting and large-scale set pieces, Four Lions is a comic tour de force; it shows that-while terrorism is about ideology-it can also be about idiots."

Promises

Several Jewish and Palestinian children are followed for three years and put in touch with each other, in this alternative look at the Jewish-Palestinian conflict. The three filmmakers followed a group of seven local children between 1995 and 1998. They all have a totally different background. These seven children tell their own story about growing up in Jerusalem. Through this portrait of their generation, we see how deep rooted and almost insoluble the problems of the Middle East have become. When the protagonists speak out in an epilogue a couple of years later, it becomes apparent that all have lost their childlike innocence.

Just watched the following:

Heartbreaker (France) - I enjoy most of the scenes except the ending. Not that it's bad, but they can make it better.

Four Sisters and a Wedding (Philippines) - a 50/50 drama/comedy here about family values and relationship. It's about the conflict of 4 sisters against the wedding of their youngest brother.
