BROKEN EMBRACES: ANOTHER ALMODOVAR ARTWORK

Pedro Almodóvar has a magic touch and he proves it once again with this film. Lluis Homar is Harry Caine, a blind writer with a complicated past. He is confronted with a mysterious visitor who sends him back 14 years in his past to review the heartbreaking events that changed him forever. Penelope Cruz is heavenly as Lena, an aspiring actress and alluring woman who steals Harry's heart. Actually, she steals Mateo's heart, but that's another story.

Who the Hell am I?

WHO THE HELL AM I?

In my life the phrase I have heard the most, whether in relation to a job or hobby is, 'do what you love' or 'find your passion and follow it.' I am passionate about movies; not making them, directing them or acting in them. I like to watch them and with the creation of the DVD, I like to rewatch and learn about the film, watch the outtakes and alternate endings. I sometimes spend whole days watching movies back to back, or over and over. I can't rent less than three at a time. I know nothing about movies except for what I like and what touches me. If you are looking for a film authority, I am not it. Sometimes the best movies are the ones we can relate to; the ones that touch us in a personal way. My list of favorites may make some "seasoned critics" laugh. I don't care. Maybe you'll agree, maybe you won't. If I think a movie is a must see even if you have to "pay the full price", I'll tell you. Likewise, if you should spend your money on other things, like gum and baseball cards, rather than a movie ticket, I'll tell you that too. You can choose to listen or not. I don't care. I'm having fun. Welcome to my world.
