"The Motel"- Funny and touching. Asian-American boy coming-of-age story. When this gets released in the theatre, go see it! Also, if you're a lover of fried chicken, *especially* Popeye's, I HIGHLY reccommend that you locate the nearest Popeye's before you see this movie- so you can proceed directly there afterwards. Which is just what my friends and i did. Gotta love the spicy, crunchy, goodness that is Popeye's. Oh, and jelly with biscuits is heaven!
"Clean"- Maggie Cheung is always gorgeous, and gets to show off her English, French, Chinese, and singing. The movie was just ok though.
"Kung Fu Hustle"- Well done. Very funny.
"9 Songs" and "Last Days"- If you ever wondered how sex, drugs, n'rock n'roll could be boring, just watch. My friend fell asleep in the theatre, and if I could do it all over again, I'd just take a nap instead. Or, insist on watching "March of the Penguins". I'll bet those Penguins have more drama and passion than both these films put together.
