Road Home, Better Tommorow, Black, Makanda

On friday I finally finished up watching Road Home. The chinese name for this is "Wo de fu qin mu qin". I borrowed this movie after reading the reviews that its a wonderful movie. The movie begins as a black and white movie and then goes back into color in flashback. Its about a son who is visiting his village after his father has died and discovers the reason why his mother wants to have an elaborate funeral for his father. A romantic movie by Zhang Yimou set up in a snowy countryside in China. Definitely worth watching. The other movie I watched was "Better Tommorow III". That was an ok movie. I also finished watching hindi movie "Black" and its pretty good. Its about a child who is blind and deaf and how his teacher help her learn through her triumphs and failure. It also start as a flash back where her Teacher is sufferring from Alzhimers disease. Watch it you won't be dissapointed.

Yesterday I went to Mary's house in Makanda and its beautiful. The location of her house. Had a good time with so many of her friends turning up. Kelly, Dave, Freddy, Tammy, Mary, Dave 2, Ken and Erine. It would have been great if Ayako and Aza could have made it. We played that funny board game involving asking trivia, drank like a fish and paraded naked on the table and yes those crazy snaps. There was some great food the eggplant parmigiano was delicious. I had to eat 3 more times to get enough of that. Nice to know Ken who is vegan and the wonderful array of soy products now coming up in the market. I had my first vegan choclate too. The bitter dark chocolate was different then regualar dark chocolate. Freddy and Tammy were wild and really get going the party. Tammy works as a land scaping consultant and Freddy works at same place as Mary.
