foreign farrellys.

Talk about polarizing choices today.

The Lives of Others: Totally get why it won the Foreign Language Oscar last year. East Berlin circa 1984, a top shelf art couple have full surveillance set up by the "Stasi". Low and behold, big brother finds their life so interesting that the line becomes very blurred. I was completely fascinated by the story line and characters. HGW XX/7 is truly heartbreaking.

The Heartbreak Kid: Love Ben Stiller, but his characters are so predictable. The Stiller comedic cadence...it is funny, but it gets old. His improvisation turns him into the same schlub every time. Be prepared for the kitty ring.

And as usual, the History Channel is the go to. I've got to get back in my bedroom. History International is calling. There is ALWAYS something good on 116.
