Amores Perros was an excellent film. Very smartly done. As you probably know 21 Grams and Babel were done by the same director. Amores Perros being
the first of the trilogy.

I never saw Amores Perros, but Y Tu Mama Tambien was incredible!
I liked Amores Perros the most, Babel next and 21 grams third. But, they weren't sequels. All were different movies but similar in that they all had
several stories going on at once that connected everything in the end. I like movies that are a little convoluted but not so much that they make no
sense. I want to feel really grabbed by a movie and I think that almost only happens for me in foreign films. Hollywood is too cookie cutter,
predictable and thoughtless.
Ken, I've seen so many Spanish language films but I'm terrible on remembering names. Many of them have been at film festivals where it may be the only
chance to see them. One I remember that I liked is Talk to Her. I saw that at our Indie theater here in San Luis Obispo. And Valentin which I saw at
the Santa Barbara Film Festival on opening night.
Ken....we recently saw Entre Nos..we liked it so much we bought 4 copies..one to keep and three for each of my wife's brothers...they are starting to
take their status here for granted...very very good movie..my mom and wife are both immigrants..and i appreciate everything I have...
I was reading The Liberal Times the other day and came across an article featuring this documentary on the Mexican criminal justice system. I have
been having a hard time finding it though..anyone seen it??
I always liked "El Norte". It's in three languages; Maya, Spanish and English. Starts out in Guatemala with a brother and sister. The army kills
their father and takes away their mother. They decide to go to the U.S. My favorite scene was an uncle advising the boy not to let the migra know he
is Guatemalan if he gets caught, to insist he is Mexican so he'll be deported to Mexico since being sent back to Guatemala would be a death sentence.
In order to be convincing, the uncle teaches him to cuss like a Mexican. Sure enough, once they cross the first border, the first Mexican they
encounter is a truck driver changing a tire and cussing up a blue streak.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.
