Musings on movies, suitable for reading before or after you see them. I write about things I liked WITHOUT SPOILERS. The only thing I hate more than spoilers is reviewers' trashing movies because they think it makes them seem smart. Movie title links are usually links to blog posts.

Volver (2006)
LOVED this. Saw the preview several dozen times and the movie delivered. About a community of women (including ghosts) and their unbreakable bonds. Not for kids, like most of Almadóvar's work. Penelope Cruz is radiant, almost as luscious as she was in Woman on Top (2000), which I also enjoyed immensely, though some might call it a chick flick.
