Como agua para chocolate (Like Water For Chocolate)

It was such a great movie! It combines comedy, drama, sex, and cooking. It's erotic, but not overly-graphic like most Spanish-language movies. It's also one of the best Spanish-language movies that I have seen, and while it uses a lot of magical realism, it's not confusing or hard to follow.

Yeah, the ending was so weird! It kind of ruined the movie because I thought that the beginning was good. There are better movies by Pedro Almodovar. Hable con ella is really good. I had to watch it for my Spanish class last semester. The ending's kind of surprising, but it makes sense.

I will have to check that one out. Someone also told me (in another group) that Motorcycle Diaries was good too. I think it stars the guy who played in Bad Education.

I think I may have gotten an edited version of Bad Education as someone told there was an explicit sex scene in it but my version did not have it. I got it from Blockbuster. Of course I was also working on my computer at the same time and could have missed the sex scene but I don't think so.

Oh and yes the ending was weird but Testostorone still has the weirdest. I think that was the worse movie in many ways. It was just too ridiculous for me.

I have a very wide range of likes in movies and even have liked some pretty weird or crazy movies (Zoolander for instance) but the ending and other things in Testostorone were too way out there for even me.

Yeah, Motorcycle Diaries is really good. Gael Garcia Bernal is in it, and it's more of an American-type movie because I think Robert Redford produced it or something. I don't even think there's any sex in it, and the only reason it's rated R is because of the language.

The version that I saw was rated NC-17, and there was supposed to be one graphic sex scene...but I didn't see it. :blink:

A few friends, my roommate, and I watched Bridget Jones's Diary in our room. It's my favourite movie!! It's so funny and both Hugh Grant and Colin Firth are so sexy!!

We're watching the sequel, Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason in a few minutes. It's not as good as the first one, but it's still very funny!

I agree about Urban Legend. I like those movies. They scare kids. That's funny.

I saw Wicker Park. I was expecting something along the lines of Swimfan with the hot, crazy, psycho-!@#$%^&*] who falls in love with the guy who's with the All-American girl and then she tries and kill the girl. But I thought Wicker Park was boring and I'm glad I got it free from the library. I only liked the fact that Josh Hartnett and Matthew Lilliard were both unknowingly having sex with the same chick who they both considered thier girlfriend. She was playing like everyone in the movie and that's about all I liked. It took too long to develop suspense and drama so I don't recommend renting it.

    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
