Past week...

I saw Carandiru - a gritty brazilian film loosely based around the eponymous prison massacre in 2001. I thought it was a pretty decent movie that humanized the prisoners in ways, that unlike the episodes of OZ that I've seen, actually make you care about what happens to the murderers and the robbers (though, curiously, not the rapists). Saved! is a parody turned satire that doesn't quite manage to pull itself off the ground, which is unfortunate. Aside from occasional movie forays into the world, shopping at Daffys, and hosting dinner parties, I've been busy with français.... I've learned - présent, imparfait, conditionnel, passé composé... what 3 weeks of Intensive French will teach one....
