***Good to hear that you are still getting out into the theaters. I went to a theater Friday night (saw Besson's "Kiss of the Dragon"--aka "Jet Li kills the Paris police force") and got stuck there for five hours as there was a bomb (probably not a 'torpedo' bomb) that was being isolated and detonated on the theater exit road. If this is the only way to get people to sit through "Pearl Harbor"...

Well, I have to tell you that the summer is looking good for foreign films. And I am tempted to see The Man Who Cried - I love Cate Blanchett (and John Turturro is there too) - and that will probably do for me on the American films front.

Also on my list is the Russian Doll. Most likely a silly but fun Australian comedy. With lines like "Where are the sheets? Why, in the toilet, of course!" (A true inside joke, I don't know how many will get it...) it seems to have the right elements of the "Midsummer comedy".

Also on the list are:

Divided we Fall

The Aniversary Party (with Phoebe Cates????? She's still alive?) well, perhaps I am just kidding about this one, but she USED to be cute.

Sexy Beast - an absolute must. Nuff said.

Songcatcher

....and.... of course.... The Princess and the Warrior. No, I am not a fan of Run Lola Run, but still, that's another must.

Left Luggage - love some Belgian films.

Sorry about that torpedo-bomb... they should have called Bruce to disarm it....:-)
