Last night I watched Broken Embraces, starring Penelope Cruz. It was the second subtitled movie I watched with her in it. One of the ways I judge if I can watch a foreign film, is that if I can get so wrapped up into it, it doesn't seem like I'm reading anymore. Although I had to think about it after it was over to really decide how much I liked, it was able to keep my attention to watch it. Plus, it had good music. I can't remember whether or not I cried..I did think it was kinda sad though.

A couple of days ago I finished reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. I liked it. It made me mad, it made me sad. I cried a little bit. The fact that it's fiction doesn't make me feel better because I know what happened in the book happened/happens all the time all over the world. The ending was a happy one, I guess. I think I was expecting something a little more, but how it ended suited the story. As with many other books that I read, I had heard of it before, but never grabbed it to read. Prior to checking it out, I had seen the title and heard it's name a bunch of ties over a week or two period, so..I decided that was a sign that I need to go ahead and read it. Now, I'll pobbly check out the movie.
