Entertainment at Its Best.

I got free tickets to see the movie Caramel, it centers around the romantic lives of five Lebanese women working in a beauty salon in Beirut. Caramel is the toffee like stuff you get when boiling together sugar and water. It is used to great effect in the film when one of the characters spreads the heated substance over hairy legs and pulls it off, ouch.

Death at a Funeral, is a hilarious story about a quirky British family getting together to send off a loved one. The protagonist is very serious about his responsibility of organizing the funeral. Of course no one in the family behaves and a shocking secret is revealed.

Hotel Chevalier is the trailer shown on the DVD before the movie The Darjeeling Limited. Watch both then you will be privy to the inside jokes in the main feature. Three brothers get together for a train trip through India for the purpose of bonding. Their father recently died and their mother has run off to become a nun. As the story enfolds each brother asserts his own idiosyncratic personality. Wether they actually become closer as a result of the train trip is probably not the point.
