Movies

"Lonely Hearts" with John Travolta and Salma Hayek
"Resistance"

"Lonely Hearts" with John Travolta and Salma Hayek
Well done, but sad, true story of a conman and his crazy girlfriend, Salma. You could tell she was crazy, they told you so, and she could be violent and unfeeling, but I never got the uncomfortable feeling that crazy movie characters usually give me.

"Resistance" A variation on the World War II love story behind enemy lines. The war movies I like are the ones where the cunning hero is very careful and succeeds. This is not one of those. This story is about a pilot who is very lucky and crawls away from a crash that killed the rest of his crew. Found and nursed back to health by the resistance, he starts acting the fool. He's not afraid, he tells us, and if you think about it, it is understandable. He might be feeling a bit invincible right about now, after all he survived the crash and has a pretty woman looking after him. That kind of bravado is what gets you killed.
