Pedro Almodovar Is A Genius

I love watching foreign filmes - I'm not sure why it is, but a lot of them seem so much better than "regular" movies. Life is Beautiful, Amelie, and Cinema Paradiso are a few of my favorites and I highly recommend them. The other night I finally watched Pedro Almodovar's latest film, Broken Embraces, starring Penelope Cruz. Now, I'm not a big Penelope fan, but that's the beauty of Pedro's films: He actually makes me forget that I can't stand her. I haven't enjoyed one of his films this much since Talk to Her and that movie was genius. I realize a lot of people don't like foreign films because they're not big on the sub-titles, but I promise you - it's worth it.
