I've Got No Extraordinary Cards in My Hand

Happy birthday to my BFF, Tina!!! ♥ ♥ Hope you have a good one!

Pan's Labyrinth comes out on DVD tomorrow and I can't wait to rent it. I'm still kicking myself for not seeing it in the theater, but considering how big our new TV is, I'm sure the experience will be more or less the same. :) Speaking of movies, I've been on a real foreign film kick

I loved
The Edukators; although, I ended up liking the first half more than the second, but it still turned out to be a very good film.

I've been meaning to see
Goodbye Lenin! for ages, so I'll definitely add that to the list, thanks. :)
A Very Long Engagement, yes! I knew there was another Jean-Pierre Jeunet film I wanted to see! I actually looked for
City of Lost Children last time I was at the video store (since I've heard nothing but good things about it), but they didn't have it. :( Or maybe they did, who knows? The foreign film section at that place is in complete disarray. Maybe it will be there tomorrow.

Oh yes, you should definitely watch
Love Me If You Dare; it's a very fun, twisted, and beautiful movie.

I just got back from the video store and they actually had
City of Lost Children this time--it seems they finally cleaned up the foreign section, thank goodness! Can't wait to watch this! :D

I suck at keeping up with modern movies, but I frickin' love anything by Werner Herzog. Fitzcarraldo is like, cinematography porn.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely try some of his movies. :D

For me it's Amelie, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Amores Perros, The Motorcycle Diaries, & Kung Fu Hustle. I just love Mexican films.

I started
Y Tu Mama Tambien a while back, but never finished it because the copy I rented was screwed up. I'll have to try it again soon. I've been meaning to see
The Motorcycle Diaries for a while now, so I'll definitely get around to that sooner or later. Adding the other two suggesting to my "list," thank you! :D

P.S. *Squee!* Is that Gael García Bernal in your icon? I ♥ him.

I have Pan's Labyrinth on my computer... I just need to find time to watch it! XD Oh and I love Amelie as well!

Oh, and is The Edukators that German movie in which those two guys break into homes and rearrange everything? Because I think I vaguely remember that one. I've watched a lot of foreign films when I was in my high school's Indy Film club. :)

One I'd recommend if you're up to the violence and general rawness is City of God. It's very mature and violent but it's amazing.

I hope to watch Pan's Labyrinth tonight; I've heard nothing but great things about it.
Amélie is pretty much my favorite movie ever; it fills me with so much joy every time I watch it.

That's the one! Actually, my only regret about that film was that they didn't spend more time showing them rearranging the houses. That was some hilarious stuff. XD

I have a pretty thick skin when it comes to violence in movies, so I'll definitely try this one out, thanks! :D

Omg. I heard about that Heroes: Origin too. I actually read the article on a different site right before I got to this post, heh.. But anyways, i'm not sure how I feel about it either. I guess we'll have to see how when it actually airs. It does sound interesting tho.

Aw, I missed last nite's episode. I'm about to watch it tho. I'm still downloading it off the comp.

It's a pretty interesting move on NBC's part, so I'll definitely be tuning in to see how it goes. Not much else to watch during the summer and I guess I'd rather some form of
Heroes than no
Heroes at all.

Hope you enjoy it! I thought it was a pretty solid episode. :D
