Mixed media

So the movies for this weekend were (well 2 of them were sort of stupid in my book with the exception of the foreign film):

I always hated this film - but I was sleepless Friday night so I watched it nonetheless....it does however bring up a very interesting conundrum...and in the end I suppose you could say true love won out (yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah):



Now THIS was a wonderful film - and I had been meaning to watch it before - very glad I got a chance to see it - it really could have gone a lot deeper into the 'issues' surrounding using these poor Columbian girls as 'mules' but I still feel it was worth watching:



Oh and I forgot to mention - I watched part of this too(is it me or was anyone else confused by this film? Although Natalie Portman was extremely hot):



And the books:

I have been reading this for a little while now - it's is wonderfully written by Maura Moynihan (daughter of the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan) - very well done - she truly captures India:



Finally, I was able to add this to my collection - because I did not see any of the Anais books on the list that I am trying to replace - this was still a good find though:
