Love Sick, a review by Tom
Stars: Maria Popistasu as Kiki Ioana Barbu as Alex Tudor Chirila as Sandu Catalina Murgea as Dna. Benes Mircea Diaconu as Dl. Dragnea Plot: Love knows no boundaries when a fiery lesbian love affair between two Romanian students is put to the test. It's Alex's first year at university and her world turned upside-down when she meets savvy and sexy Kiki. Despite her lover's baggage, the naive freshman falls head over heels in love. But threatening their bliss is Kiki's emotionally explosive brother whose attachment to her seems downright incestuous. Directed with a poetic eye, Love Sick spins its quick wit and hard-edged romance into a sublimely sensual portrait of first love. Extras:
My Thoughts: This is my first Romanian movie. I always was interested seeing one, since I work daily with Romanian colleagues. But they couldn't recommend me a good one. Last week I stumbled across this one while browsing Amazon. I enjoyed this movie. On Wikipedia it is said to be often compared to "My Summer of Love". There are some similarities, but I enjoyed "Love Sick" more. Rating: (From Lesbian Movie Marathon on January 12th, 2013) Notes on a Scandal, a review by JonNotes on a Scandal 4 out of 5 I felt compelled to highlight this film. You may read the overview or even the reviews and feel that although it may be worthy of all the praise, it doesn't really appeal. A short (87 minutes) British drama about a school teacher's affair with a pupil doesn't leap out as essential viewing, but it really is. This film is worth seeing for several reasons. The note perfect acting from the whole cast is one, the sublime writing another, but I enjoyed it almost as a thriller. That's the last thing I thought I'd be describing it as, but Judi Dench portrays such a potent menacing threat as Barbara it certainly comes very close. And like the best villains, Barbara doesn't know herself. That's what is so good about the writing; the plot is often advanced by what is not said, rather than by what is. A great deal of the tone is provided by Barbara and her diary (the titular "Notes"), written in beautifully descriptive language, but unusually for narration, it isn't the voice of the film. Her problems are very clear to the viewer. Also other angles are emphasised by overheard comments from supporting characters who aren't always on screen. It's a very adult film. Concise, to the point, with clear distinct lines and tackling moral issues head on without any sugar coating. A masterclass in screen acting, I couldn't recommend it as an enjoyable story because it's a grim situation, but it's engrossing. And Judi Dench is scary! (From Notes on a Scandal on November 4th, 2007) Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvdAngel: Season 2 12. Blood Money Original Air Date: 1/23/2001 Angel threatens to expose Wolfram & Hart's criminal activities when he discovers that they are stealing large contributions that were made to a teen shelter but an old adversary has other plans for Angel. Guest Stars: Christian Kane Stephanie Romanov Sam Anderson Julia Lee Gerry Becker Mark Rolston My Thoughts: A fun and entertaining episode. I especially enjoyed the benefit that Wolfram & Hart was putting on to cheat a teen shelter.not only was the idea for the benefit itself entertaining... but I had to laugh at the video of Cordelia and Wesley that Angel had played.
