Orgelist

I'm not a big fan of Mel Gibson (his politics, especially), but I thought that his performance was the only thing that made this film bearable. It ran for just over an hour an a half, but it seemed like more than a week to me. I did not believe the love affair, even thought it is based on a true story; the wife must have had some other issues with her husband besides her illness (which was never defined in the movie.

Get a pizza and watch a wrestling match!

I finally rented `Y tu mamá también'. Having noticed that it received several groups' award for best foreign film, I thought it might be worth a watch. I'm ashamed to admit that I sat through the entire thing, but I kept thinking it would develop into something other than less-interesting-than-out-and-out-pornography. Whoever decided it deserved best `anything' must have been reliving their pre-pubescent days. Two thumbs down, decidedly.

I've seen the bumper-stickers, and I think they are the best summary of this movie. It is not great, it is not formidable. It is, however, memorable, and perhaps that is what is most important in a film. See it, but not without Kleenex: you could spend your time in a way that is much less moving.
