    Hi Ashaki, I just saw Sex with Lucia last week, I loved it! It was so wonderfully done, what did you not like about it?

    what about Amelie? has anyone seen this movie...
    Why can't I change my displayed name back to Ashaki?

    I saw The Last Kiss a little while ago... great Italian movie. Deals with the trapped feeling of marriage and how some men fight it. [img]graemlins/cool_shades.gif[/img]

    did anyone else see Last Tango In Paris with Marlon Brando?

    Would Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon be considered a foreign film? When I first saw it, it was subtitled...Did they ever translate it into an all English version?

    </font>[/QUOTE]Belen and the mother left Carlos that was why he went to the island, I forget Lucia's boyfriends name, but in the story he was writing, he had them commit suicide. Luna was the young girl who was killed by the dog.

    </font>[/QUOTE]okay this is what happened Corwin....

    Remember Belen and Lorenzo were babysitting Luna...they were getting freaky when Luna walked in and the dog came out of nowhere and Belen shut the door on Luna and the dog and the dog mauled Luna to death...Belen went crazy after that I believe....and so did Lorenzo...

    what was the deal with Belen, her mom and Carlos being wanted by the cops?
