It's not an easy movie to watch because of the abject poverty that effects all of the characters.

Frankenweenie is the last DVD I have watched with my friends. It is a nice story about a science experiment which is conducted to bring a dog back to life.
Last night we watched a Tommy Lee Jones movie called “Electric Mist” I had never heard of it but I like Tommy Lee Jones, pretty good movie, we both enjoyed it. Worth watching.

@djjd62,
Just seen the movie the Goonies...
Turns out, I looked it up once...Sloth used to be a pro football player for the LA Raiders...
I just watched a movie that's connected to both of the previous posts, Love and Debate (2006). It's about the granddaughter of a holocaust survivor whose high school debate coach is none other than the guy who played the starring role of "Mikey" in Goonies.
Nice! I think his name is Sean Astin...Same guy who was in "Ruddy" And he was the wife's new husband in "Click" When Adam Sandler was having his premonition....When Adam had all those problems...before realizing he could change things...That was him...

After we put Antonio to bed daddy and I are going to watch Snatch, we have it on DVD, been a while since I've seen it, good movie!
After reading in the local newspaper that Sloppy Joe's bar will reopen in Havana, I bought the movie "Our Man In Havana," and watched it last night before hitting snooze land. Pretty neat! Looking forward to having a drink there on my next visit.

Cloud Atlas.
It is thought provoking, well acted, amazing. Do not believe the reviews: it may be too intellectual for a mass audience.
The editing was amazing. Halle Berry put her hand on doorknob as one character, then stepped through it as another character. A character would say a word and the scene would dissolve and open on another character either saying that word or performing the action described.
Saw Susan Sarandon in Havana last June. She walked into La Guarida restaurant - into our dining room, and my travel buddy started talking to her. He recognized her right away, but it took me a few minutes to remember her.
Before seeing this,I knew nothing about Denmark's resistance fighters during WWll.This movie follows the true story of 2 of these freedom fighters,code names Flame and Citron.It's a Danish/German language soundtrack,so it's down to sub-titles for most of us.I really enjoyed this movie and Hey!,I even learned a bit more history.
Watched "The Frisco Kid" with Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford; a comedy with some serious ethical stuff in between - two nites ago. Last night, I watched "The Best Years of Our Lives" with Dana Andrews. and Frederick March. One of the old classics I watch every decade or so.
