[Hoople]

The Sea Inside: 4 out of 5. A not for everyone, incredibly moving, dramatic film. Very Spanish stylistically but atypically understated in some ways (for a Spanish film, that is). There was one scene (with Julia on the beach) that so moved me I cried and ached along with and for Ramon.

P.S. Troy: Silly film. 2.5 out of 5, I guess, because I LOVED Hector (his wife grossed me out, though, with that affected upper lip thing so many women are doing now) and liked his dad a real lot. Brian Cox is always terrific, of course. It's just so hard for me to take Pitt seriously in a role in which he is supposed to be a real man - LOL!!!!!!!!!
