we watched Curse of the Golden Flower (Man cheng jin dai huang jin jia) last night.
it as a chinese martial arts film starring Chow Yun Fat and Gong Li.
the story: the story of an emperor's family life during the Tang dynasty. drama, betrayal, tragedy and more drama in the palace in the Forbidden City. beautiful imagery. don't expect Jackie Chan-style stunts.
in Chinese with subtitles.
Strangers with Candy, starring Amy Sedaris, was an all out nut-fest.
a 40-something ex-convict/ex-trixie/ex-addict goes back to high school in hopes of waking her daddy from a coma.
not for the little ones.
set in Mexico. a family of women who married for money. and made sure they outlived their husbands to reap the rewards.
in Spanish with subtitles.

How did you like Curse? I watched it a few months ago and thought it was a pretty weak movie compared to the others that director has made.
The images were beautiful, as always, but the story was kind of...eh.
hey there Jessabean.
i agree that the imagery was beautiful in Curse. but i kept saying something was missing...
it was like there were big holes in the storyline that we had to fill in with our imaginations.
i loved the dresses the servants wore. the fabric was elaborate but they looked very simple to make. i wonder...
