Since I’m a recent Netflix subscriber still determined to get my money’s worth, I’ve been watching tons of movies lately. Last night I watched Cidade de Deus (City of God). What a powerful movie. I was planning on watching only the first hour because I started it relatively late, but it really drew me in. It’s like Menace II Society with subtitles, but more violent. And you even feel empathetic towards a murderous drug dealer, for a little while.
Also, I watched Sideways last weekend. Vastly overrated and really, really boring. If only the directors had spent another half hour spelling out the painfully obvious grape-as-life metaphor! The movie just made me want to go to a winery… and punch everyone there.
Cinco de Mayo is coming up so I need to find something to do for that. Also the Chili Cook-off is coming up – anyone going?
