I have a few recommendations for you.

SEE IT:  There is a terrific movie in theaters now called IN BRUGES.  It's about a couple of hit men, one of whom is Colin Farrel (something for the ladies) and they have been sent to Bruges Belgium to cool their heels and await word.

We learn that they have been sent there for a reason and that all may not go well for one of them.  It's a comedy and also dark and interesting...more than anything, really worth seeing.

RENT IT:  I also liked all the usual suspects from the most recent Oscar crop: The Kite Runner , Away From  Her and  The Savages.

RENT IT:  In the documentary category I want you to check out THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED.  It's all about how ridiculous the MPAA ratings system is.  You know, the one applied to all the films that are released in theaters.  They stake out the businesses of those who are members of the ratings board and you will not believe what they discover.

RENT IT:  Finally, the movie MURDER ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON will blow you out.  A documentary following  a young guy wrongly accused of a murder near Miami and the dogged determination of one public defender to acquit him.


VISIT IT:  Last recommendation :
If you are lookin' for something to do around town, check out the NEW Chinese Gardens at the Huntington  Library and Gardens in Pasadena.  It is one of the great resources we have here in Southern California and I think you will really be blown away by everything that is there.

Okay that's a quick sampler...next restaurants  :)

Thanks for the movie info Mark. I have some friends on the mpaa and I know all about their [...] system. In fact my friends vote in the academy awards and other ceremonies and I know all about those award shows and what goes on. They are as bad in the movie world as Nascar races are crooked by owners allowed to have multiple drivers and teams. You can't win a fair race without all doubt, same as you can't honestly believe that the mpaa and this system works any better then the older system. But thanks for the flick info, I'll scope them out. By the way, meanwhile my videobook of "Thunder Dead" (a religious sci-fi story about American's in America and God and Country) is online, most parts of it as of this writing, on youtube...enjoy!

Mark,

Loved "The Kite Runner" and was surprised it didn't get any Oscar consideration.

But I'm wondering if you know of any good Donna Feldman flicks I would rent?
