Thoughts: A great Brazilian film about 19 year old Andre (Lazaro Ramos) who is in love with a girl named Silvia (Leandra Leal) however she has no idea who he is. See Andre has been watching Silvia for some time now from his building and eventually works up enough nerve to approach her and start talking. Although it might seem like another sweet romantic comedy do not be mislead. If anything the film is far from that with a few twists and turns like a robbery, murder and winning millions.
(M) Thank You For Smoking. (Jason Reitman, 2005) Grade: A-
Thoughts: I highly recommend to everyone this film which is satirical comedy at its best. Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart) is the chief spokesman for the Academy of Tobacco; basically a lobbyist for the tobacco industry. While trying to sell more cigarettes to people, Nick has to deal with a nosy/sexy reporter Heather Holloway (Katie Holmes), a Senator Ortolan K. Finistirre (William H. Macy) and Hollywood types like Jeff Megall (Rob Lowe) along with maintaining a honest perception to his 12 year old son Joey (Cameron Bright). The movie had a great cast except for the lame Katie Holmes (she seriously can not act in film) and the random use of Adam Brody as some assistant. Overall, a real laugh in that smart makes you think way and a definite must see.
(M) Baak Nin Hiu Gap (Love For All Seasons.). (Johnny To and Ka-Fai Wai, 2003) Grade: C
Thoughts: A light and fluffy romantic comedy starring Sammi Cheng as May the healer and Louis Koo as Tiger Hung the man whore looking for a cure to fix his junk. It was pretty ridiculous and silly but you know I love my Chinese films so what do I care.

Cameron Bright is a good actor. He really gave me the creeps in Birth.
