'BEAUTIFUL BOXER'...as promised

At the Cinematheque in Cleveburg, you can see some rockin', awesome, (mainly foreign or old-stuff-they-don't-show-on-the-big-screen) films.

I got to go see Beautiful Boxer last nite. Thailand is a gorgeous place (aside from the steamy/seamy side). This movie was written with a wisdom I found refreshing, with a humour that was innocent all backing up a powerful story. My only disappointment was that *I* could have done without the 'dream' sequences. They just did not seem to fit in with the 'flow' of the film.

All in all it was a great film and the food afterwards at the Siam Cafe was wonderful (and fitting because I ordered Pad Thai). (The company in tow was pretty good too.)

I have decided I need to spend the money and get a membership and support Cinematheque and go see more films. I mean how cool is it to be able to go to a local place and see films that have not made it into the theatres yet - or you can't even see on a big screen anymore.

To me, works of art (such as film, music, books) are ways in which men/women can leave their mark on history and become immortal - Support your local arts/artists!
