Get your French fix!

If you have a craving for the city of lights then I suggest renting the next two films this holiday weekend and be taken away further than to the shore.

Paris, je t'aime is an unfolding of many stories all based around the idea of love...very varying types. Each piece has a different cast and director, but they all unfold seamlessly into each other. Where else can you see Elijah Wood become a vampire...leading into Maggie Gyllenhaal and a drug habbit...into Rufus Sewell seeing the ghost of Oscar Wilde, and still left sobbing at an older couple at the end. The pieces surprise, appease, and anger, and they definately keep you guessing and wondering.



Broken English follows indie queen Parker Posey as she transforms her drab life as a somewhat cynical New Yorker into a life of spontaneous moments filled with risks after meeting a lovely...and handsome Parisian named Julien. They spent a little too much time in the big apple for this one maybe...but it will still leave you with a smile.
