Hey, y'all. I watched a movie today called Pan's Labyrinth. It is a movie that shows Spain's take on the underworld through a fairytale-esque storyline. I thought it was a pretty decent movie, may be worth your time. Not that I promote watching movies illegally online, but it can be found on a few of those free movie sites, otherwise you can just rent it from YouTube for $3.28 in HD.

It is in Spanish, so if you do not know Spanish, be sure to use the subtitles under [CC].
This week I will be watching a foreign-based sporting event, the Champions League final. It is regarded as the most competitive sporting event in the world. It will pit Real Madrid from Spain against Juventus from Turin, Italy.

Hi! I watched a French speaking movie called Now We're Alive. Kind of a chick flick, I guess. In this town in France when a guy turns 25, he chooses his soulmate by the sound of a selected group of other 25 year old women speaking...while he is blindfolded. Then he needs to go around town searching for her by listening for her voice to find her. Yea, kinda weird, but for a foreign film it was tolerable. Watched it on Amazon Prime.

ReplyDeleteHey guys and girls. I enjoy watching Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern and on this weeks episode that was on, he was in a small country in Asia where he sat in a little road side eatery and had boiled goats eye. I am a huge foodie and love trying new things but I (pun intended) will not being trying the eyeballs of any animals. Especially and cute little goat. When watching Bizarre foods please eat before hand or do not eat at all. The show always has some surprises on it.
ReplyDeleteHey guys! I just made reservations at an Israeli restaurant in New Orleans on Magazine Street called Shaya. I have never tried Israeli food so Im really excited! Reservations were booked up until June 30th , so if you are interested I would call ASAP. The restaurant is a little pricy, but my friend who has eaten there says the experience is well worth it. I will let you all know how it is! Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteHey Everyone,
ReplyDeleteI will be tuning in to Fox Sports tonight to watch the U.S and Trinidad compete for a qualifying spot in next year's World Cup. I've never watched soccer before so it should be interesting.

Hello all,
ReplyDeleteI would like to make a suggestion for a foreign TV show in the category of animation. The show I would like to recommend is called Attack on Titan. I watched the first couple of episodes on Netflix and would further recommend watching in Japanese with the subtitles on though watching in English is okay.
Hey, y'all — if you like a good movie then don't watch REC [spain] the movie. It is pretty much one of the most predictable, first person camera angle type of films. That may be your thing, so cool, but wasn't for me. If you liked the US movie Quarentine, this movie was what inspired Quarentine to be made. You can find it on YouTube and iTunes for rental or purchase starting at $3.28
ReplyDeleteHey yall! So I found the movie Beauty and the Beast on Netflix. It is not Disney. It is spoken in French but has English subtitles. I thought it was very interesting seeing another countries take on such a legendary movie, story line. There are some similarities but also many differences and that was the fun part about watching this movie!
