Movies

Just when I think that that the entertainment industry can’t stoop any lower, they release trash like this. No, I won’t go see it no matter how much you pay me.

On the plus side, I went to see Bend it like Beckham last week, which was one of the more entertaining movies I’ve seen in a while. Think of an Indian version of My Big Fat Greek Wedding that meets British mania for football. It drags a little here and there, and falls into cliches, but it was still a lot of fun. Highly recommended.

    It is a great movie. I watched a bootleg copy last year.

    Hey Shira, I haven't seen most of these. I should check some of them out. I wish that I could get Israeli movies here. I also love A League of Their Own, Shawshank Redemption, and Bend It Like Beckham. Like you, I also love a lot of positive and inspirational films, but for some reason they just weren't the first 20 that popped into my mind when I made the list. I will ask my cousin Victoria to rent some of the Israeli films you listed the next time I am down in Brooklyn. I think she will know where to get
