You don't have to know French to enjoy them. Fiona and Dom are a couple, and in the 2 actors make a lot of comedies together. One you can rent is The Iceberg, or Rumba. But I like the Fairy the best.
Other Movies I Liked or Loved:
My Piece of the Pie - its very good, it might get a release. Funny, smart. Never dull. The main actress, French she's hilarious. Here it is:

A movie I really want to see is El Bulli - Cooking in Progress. Its about a restaurant that closed down, from Spain. Has a lot of food in it. So look for it, I gave up seeing it to go out to dinner with friends, but I am going to try to find this movie.
Footnote is a really good fast paced movie too. You can see this one later, Sony bought it so it got a distribution. Its a really good movie, not a dull moment:

The Girls in the Band is another good movie to watch, if you like music, and history. Its about women in jazz who played and got little recognition, and interviews with women musicians. Really fun to watch.

I heard that The Mill and the Cross, and Le Havre, both movies coming out soon or already out, are great. So I didn't go see them. But plannng too. If you like art and Bruegel, then you should see The Mill and the Cross.
Oh, one of the very best movies was Miss Representation. I love this movie, and I think everybody here on LS, every friend and everyone will like it. Here it is:

RESTORATION directed by Madmoni, is another one I liked a lot. It won awards around the world so far: at Sundance in the USA, and at Karlovy Vary in Czech Republic, and top prize in Jerusalem. I think it will come out. It is sometimes called Good Morning Mr. Fidelman. Michelle, this one will be in Philadelphia on November 12th. Really really a good movie!

The funny thing about going to a festival like this, is that for every 1 movie I did see, there were about 10 more I could have seen that I did not see, equally as good!
I am happy that the Media director invited me back for next year. But anyway back to health.
I had a lot of psychological phases at the festival. I was thinking about the challenges of weight loss and maintenance. How one after a while, lives sort of a mathematical life. I felt one day that I don't want to time my exercise anymore. I wondered what it would be like now not to track and not to track exercise either. And even though I might be able to do it, I think it would create more, not less, anxiety. Because by writing stuff down, then I know. For me, its not accountability. Its just that then I know what I have had and its easier than thinking about it, worrying, or just not knowing. It FREES me mind so that I don't have to think about it.
I also remembered that about 15 years ago at this festival, I sat so much that I could not walk and my back hurt. This is probably what happened at the film festival. For many days I was limping on my left leg. Now its getting better.
The whole eating this is not easy. I really wish everyone success. Personally, I think the easiest way is NOT to have to think about what you eat every day. Why be creative? I mean, if you want to, hey, good, be creative. But for me, its easier to have a few automatic things. Like, do you decide to breathe every day? If you had to make a decision on how to breathe every day, would you like it? We have to eat every day. And our bodies need to move. So I am thinking that I like to have a few set things I eat for breakfast. I don't have to be inventive and a great chef in the morning. And lunches too, a few choices. But why make life complex? I also think a simple formula works. For me, I think I am settling on something like: breakfast 250-300, lunch 400-600, and dinner 500-700. Thats a range of LOW of 1150, MEDIUM of 1375, and a HIGH of 1600, depending on activity. Its simple.
ok hope you all have a great day!
