    Driving Lessons  (2006)

    To say Julie Waters steals this movie is an understatement.  It shines whenever she is on screen. Laura Linney has been one of my favorites since Barbary Lane, and she plays the very British wife of a priest and a holy roller to boot superbly. Rupert Gint (Ron Weasley in Harry Potter series) is very good as an awkward seventeen year old, browbeaten by his mother, ignored mostly by his father, and shyly breaking in to the real world. But it really is Julie Waters movie, from the time we meet her dropping some serious "F" bombs, until the very end she is terrific.  based on the USA rating system I'm suprised it was a PG 13, I thought more than 2 "F" bombs automatically raised you to an "R".  But maybe it was the gentile accents.

    Sicko  (2007)

    Every American citizen should watch this movie, whether you have health care of not.  And then be very worried.  This is a movie to watch, and then when you leave the cinema you have to do something, call your congressman, picket your local HMO, write the President (Oh wait, that's a waste of time).  Anyhow this is a very provoking movie, it's a little naive regarding the health services of other countries.  Being born in England and living there for 30 odd years the rosy glow that he painted of the National Health System didn't really ring true for me.  But good or bad the other countries are at least trying.  Please see the movie and make up your own mind.  Even if you don't like Michael Moore, see the movie it is not really political but will give you information you need to survive this world.
