Kim, this movie looks WONDERFUL...I thought of the day, just a couple of weeks ago, when I took all those photos in the fields of the farm...I will have to see this!!!
ah yes Amy
I must find the time to see all of these especially Mao's Last Dancer :)
Oh no... I can't see the video! Argh, dumb browser, don't die on me. :(
Aqua sounds like a good one, btw.
In a time when movies are all about special effects, it's good that films such as "Mao's last dancer and "Seraphine" exist.
hey Kim,
We've run out of movies on our Netflix queue, so I've added Mao's Last Dancer and Seraphine based on your recommendation (I know I'll have to wait until the DVDs are released). I just hope your recommendations are good. :)
scott, aka display booths
I love your site!
Definitely a wide array of movie styles there. It's interesting to see you putting a more artsy movie like Maos Last Dancer alongside Michael Moore's Capitalism lol.
thanks for the info! This really helped me
I like it. You have nice tastes.
