Netflix Weekend Movie Review

Music and Lyrics - A nice sweet film, shows Drew Berrymore in a more mature role. Hugh does a great job at playing a washed up 80's pop star trying to get back into the game. Cora played by a new actress Haley Bennett seemed a little to stiff and fake, but maybe that was the role. It's a date movie that leaves you with a good feeling.

Pan's Labyrinth
- A dark fairytale, a very very dark tale. Get ready for reading AGAIN, it's a subtitled movie. I'm beginning to think any Oscar movie, save The Departed, are just exercises in futility. In order to be oscar nominated it has to be perverse or long and boring or foreign and subtitled or all of the above. Anyway, it's worth watching if you like dark fairytales.

The Painted Veil - Chick Flick set in the most beautiful parts of China. It's set in the 20's and tells the tale of the difficult love between a Husband and Wife that really didn't know each other.
