LOL- I tried to find out too.
I went to the movies yesterday and there is an add that has been bothering me. I meant to write down the name of the organization. It is something like "Make This World A Better Place" of something like that. Their advertisement is a person whose car has broken down by the side of the road. I wanted to look them up. Is anyone familiar with them? I've seen their add in the last 5 movies I've gone to see.

Yesterday I saw Curse of the Jade Scorpion. I enjoyed it. Woody Allen is, and always has been, for me, totally laughable as a romantic lead, but aside from that, it's a cute movie, with a silly premise. For fluff I recommend it.

For NON FLUFF- I recommend Wong Kar- Wai's "In The Mood For Love".

Chung King Express is one of my favorite movies, and is also by Kar-Wai- but "In the Mood For Love" is really exquisite. It captures time, and place, and emotions, it's really wonderful. I suppose some video stores won't have it, but if you see it, and you don't mind subtitles, give it a try.
