The Curse of La Llorona    it was below average (the actors were good, it is just that the rest were not) 

Men Without Women

 Men Without Women    This is a masterpiece and a very good introduction to the author's novels and other short stories. If you have not read any Murakami books and are curious then this is the book to start.

A Chinese Odyssey Part One: Pandora's Box & A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella   It has been ages since I last watched them and I hope more Hong Kong films will come to Netflix. These two still made me laugh out loud and I had a good time watching them. 

D.P

D.P   turned out to be excellent. Great acting, great art direction and cinematography.

Tears   I think so, I must have cried. 

The Henna Artist

 

The Henna Artist   was alright I suppose, although I probably would not have liked it as much if it was not that great reading performance. 

The Intouchables

The Intouchables  now this is a wonderful film. I watched the USA remake and thought it decent but THIS original is something else. The most amazing thing about it was how it avoided melodrama. I was impressed by everything but most impressed by that. 

Tears - lots and lots but they flowed for the story not melodrama because there was not an ounce of it. They did not push any buttons only tickled your funny bone every now and then. 

Suspicious Partner

Suspicious Partner   well I did not like it as much as everyone did. But I did finish it, so it is something I suppose.
