Sweetness
The movie Bella: put this one in your queue, for sure. Dave was right.
jsd: Very simple story, though there is some nice use of nonlinear time, but a beauty, just like its name.
By the way, our viewing of Bella led me to the Indian film "Fire" and the director's other films - Netflix is ever so helpful/intrusive with its recs. I remember you and Wonder Woman mentioning "Fire" a while back. Now all his elements (Fire, Water, and Earth) are in the queue. You loaned Tina "Fire," yes? I missed out on the viewing.
We recently re-watched Napoleon Dynamite with our houseguests. A deadpan humorous time was had by all. Have you seen it? I would think your students would have recommended it.
San: Regarding ND, no, I have not, and yes, I believe they did, likely falling on my occasionally (occasionally?) snooty, ill-informed, deaf ears. I suffered a six month delay before enjoying the hell out of Shaolin Soccer for just such behavior on my part.

It's been added to the queue - if the trailer is any hint - this will be a great movie to see.

Happy movie-ing.
I believe so - it's really well done...I haven't seen the other two...I was afraid of being disappointed.
Thanks for the recommendation.
