I've got a few movie recommendations. Some are for specific people, but anyone is free to watch!
For Teresa - Lea - interesting, sad foreign film - about a seriously scarred woman's escape from her world through poetry.
For Pam - 1408 - All John Cusack, all the time! He hasn't appeared so vulnerable (or hot) since Say Anything. Also, keep your eye out for Grace Is Gone in which John Cusack plays a father and husband whose wife has just been killed in Iraq- it's out in November or December and 'they' are already talking Oscar.
For anyone else - Down By Law - I don't care if you didn't like Coffee and Cigarettes! Or if you think black and white films are pretentious! This Jim Jarmusch film is basically a three man show (Tom Waits, Roberto Benigni, John Lurie). I rarely laugh during films as much as laughed during every scene featuring Benigni.
Delicatessen - This film is dark, hilarious, visually stunning. And they eat people. Check it out. Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the director of Amélie, is one half of the directing team. The other half is Marc Caro. The movie is worth watching just for Dominique Pinon's (the stalker ex-boyfriend in Amélie) portrayal of the clown. He's actually kind of, dare I say it, sexy.

I'm telling you, Pam - he looks hot hot hot (if a bit harried) in 1408.
You better do a blog! I mentioned you in my latest post, by the way.
