Burlesque was our pick of the week. A movie that leaves you feeling good upon exiting the theater. Both my husband and I enJoyed the movie. Two powerful and dynamic women lead this movie. I so resonated with their characters energies... love, passion, determination, talent, creative imaginations, wise, business savvy, I could go on and on. Lots of dancing and beautiful music. Not only did the movie depict beautiful women, it also had some hottie men. I'm talking internally as well as external here. Loved it! A movie with a powerful message.

PUSH - as per IMDB "Two young Americans with special abilities must race to find a girl in Hong Kong before a shadowy government organization called Division does. " Set in the future? A different time warp?? Lots of blowing up stuff...and people...and more stuff. I guess it was kind of like a bad accident. I just had to watch! LOL

Leap Year is on my list!!!! And I love Dakota Fanning...but what is Push about? I always have to know what stuff is about.....Man on Fire sounds great simply cuz it's set in Italy. you can't go too wrong with that, can you? LOL!

Oooo, if you want "quirky", then PUSH should be right up your alley. We've been watching quite a lot of movies lately and stumbled on that one. Weird, but good. I love Dakota Fanning.
Also watched a movie from 1987 - Man on Fire . Little known (to us anyway) cast, took place in Italy (with a lot of subtitles). Jack caught on even before it started. Took me much longer to realize we'd seen almost the same plot (with the same title - duh!!!) in a really good film starring Denzel Washington **sigh** and Dakota, again.
Tonight was Leap Year. A fun chick-flick with LOTS of beautiful Irish scenery and quite a few familiar tunes.

It actually has very little dialogue and it has much the same feel as an impressionistic painting. I think it's one of those movies you either love or hate. It focuses a lot on imagery and the cinematography rather than words. It also gives us a peek at the disparity of the classes in that part of the country.

i love quirky movies, melodie. thanks for this suggestion. it's the "little movies" that need more attention and are often some of the best!

If anyone gets the chance...a lovely movie is "The Scent of Green Papaya". It is a foreign film about pre-war Vietnam. Make sure you watch the one that is subtitled. It's got some quirky moments, but all in all I loved watching it.

Indeed. Love it. Plus, the kid who plays Edmund is a descendent of both Charles Darwin and John Maynard Keynes. How cool!
