You Should Rent #17

What Have I Done to Deserve This? - Pedro Almodóvar (1984)

Almodóvar's fourth film is a definite tribute to Neorealism, except it has a twist. He allows us into Gloria's world, a common working class housewife, that is her urban hell. Anything and everything in her life that can go wrong does. Her dysfunctional family consists of eccentric characters involved in a spiderweb of plots. The storyline will excite you, surprise you, and leave you besides yourself in giggles.

I forgot to mention, it's a black comedy.

You should rent this film and watch Almodóvar's take on Neorealism in Madrid. Besides, why not watch something that will make you laugh?

Do You Hear the People Singing?

But the tigers come at night...

Finally got to see Les Misérables the other night and I LOVED every second of it. I am a huge fan of musicals, set designs and costumes (I'm just a film nerd in general), so it's no surprise that I thought this was uh-mazing. My boyfriend on the other hand hated every second and wanted to leave the theater early (never happened obvi). Just like the reviews on this film our feelings were mixed through and through. My best advice would be to just see it. You are either going to love this movie or hate it passionately but you'll never know until after you watch it. Don't go by the reviews for this one.
