Speaking of movies, we went to see A Mi Madre Le Gusta Las Mujeres over the weekend. It was amusing in a Pedro Almodovar kind of way without being directed by Almodovar and has a rock club scene that was worth the price of admission alone.
But there is one sequence, in which the Spanish sisters travel to Prague to convince their mother's Czech girlfriend to come back to Madrid with them, that speaks volumes about modern Europe. The sisters show up at the door of the apartment in Prague and ask for the girlfriend IN ENGLISH, which, of course, her Czech family understands immediately. The French must be so pissed that the lingua franca of Europe is American.

Ohhh, that reminds me... check out City of God. Its a hell of a flick. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Really moves along. Not a wasted sequence anywhere.
And look for the actors who play L'il Ze to wind up playing thugs in Hollywood soon. Both the little kid who plays him as a child and the freak who plays him as an adult are scary, crazy motherfuckers on screen. The adult version is like a low rent, coked-senseless version of Sam Jackson's Pulp Fiction hit man character.
