Over the weekend I watched "Elephant Man" a 1980 film that should be watched when one has lots of emotional energy. Also saw "Osama", DVD Afghanistan,Golden Globe Winner 2004 Best Foreign Language Film. I recommend this one to those who appreciate foreign films.

During World War II, I was stationed at a U.S. Army base that was located near the banks of the very river (I think it was named Hoogly, a branch of the Ganges) that is depicted in the film. <BR/>My wife, who is intimidated by computers and the Internet and does not even inter-relate with its contents, is a film "scholar" Mortarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10001619938524466455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-3775130652116161872007-03-02T16:26:00.000-08:002007-03-02T16:26:00.000-08:00Thanks for the review.

Now, we're all very much into movies...whether we actually go to a theatre or watch them on DVD. I don't go to theatres much anymore...too expensive, etc. I have a membership to Netflix...and before that to Blockbuster. I love watching movies in the comfort of my home by myself or often with my kids.<BR/><BR/>I hadn'tJoy Des Jardinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893445642606862131noreply@blogger.com
