I've been neglecting my blog until today when I couldn't wait to tell you about the great movie we saw today.
Mao's Last Dancer "...tells the true story of Chinese ballet dancer, Li Cunxin, who grew up in rural poverty in Mao's communism before being given the opportunity to dance in the West in the early 80s. Li is forced to examine his conscience as he must choose between his career, family, culture, politics and love whilst having to make heart-wrenching decisions of what he must choose to sacrifice and what he must choose to save." This is the best movie we've seen in a long time -- a truly MUST SEE. It is was released in 2009 so you may need to get it on DVD.
A couple of weeks ago we saw Ben Affleck's new movie, The Town. "As he plans his next job, a longtime thief tries to balance his feelings for a bank manager connected to one of his earlier heists." It is very well crafted and engaging and will, no doubt, be a contender for awards but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. It was too exciting and a little too gritty for my taste.
