More movies

We started to watch Seul contre tous (I Stand Alone; 1998), but I found its banging scene changes and moody narrator so annoying we stopped watching before he did any of those terrible things. It looks like the director Gaspar Noé is just trying to epater le bourgeois, so not watching was very bourgeois of me. Instead we watched Sexy Beast (2000), which we enjoyed. Ben Kingsley was great. Our favorite quote:
Gal : I am going to have to turn this opportunity down.
Don : No, you are going to have to turn this opportunity yes!
It was funnier than Muriel's Wedding (1994), which really wasn't funny at all. I don't understand what the critics liked about it. Toni Collette was very familiar, but I had to look her up to know where I'd seen her.
