I rented the movie Secretary over the weekend and watched it at home. I thoroughly enjoyed it despite what some people said about it. It's the quirky story about a troubled girl (Maggie Gyllenhaal) who goes to work for a lawyer (James Spader) and develops into a confident, strong young woman who gets what she wants. If you like movies that explore the dark side of humanity, then this is a film for you. However, if you are disturbed by dominant/submissive relationships and scenes of S&M, you might wanna pass...

I just love James Spader but I also loved that this was just an extreme example of the what men and women do or feel in relationships. I mean, what woman has not said to herself about the object of her affection, "what do you think he meant by that. Does he really like me?" And, what man has not had to experience the "quirkiness" of women?

Yesterday, I went out to see Hollywood Homicide and while it was a pretty formula type film, it had the most hillarious chase scene that I have seen in a long while. Well worth it to see Harrison Ford riding a pink bicycle through the streets of LA and Josh Hartnett explaining the journey of lige to panicked children in a minivan ...

As well, this weekend, I attended a couple of dance performances. One was a flamenco performance by a friend of mine and the other was the same friend doing bellydancing. Although I enjoyed the flamenco performance very much, I was more mesmerized by the other performance that was put on by her school Aiewa. I was so impressed that I have signed up for a beginner's class in July. I can't wait!

I wanted to say a special hiya to D & S in Wales. It was great talking to you!
