Foreign Film Challenge

As a general lover of all good movies, it makes me angry that a lot of the movies in Europe are not available here in the US. In general I really like foreign films. One of my favorites that has come out recently is Pan's Labyrinth. Also, some of the new releases out of England (ok, I know this may be hokey) with Robert Pattinson haven't been featured in any of the theaters around here. Okay, surprise, surprise. We don't get much here, but still. Two of Pattinson's movies that were strictly European releases were Little Ashes and How to Be.
Granted, part of me is curious to see how Pattinson acts outside Twilight and his minor role in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Although Little Ashes is a chronical of Dali's life and How to Be is a small indie film he worked on between the Twilight movies (I think). Both sound like they have a lot of potential to be excellent movies. It seems as though Netflix may have them, so I may just have to drink the kool-aid and join netflix. Meh.
Not much is new with me. I'm enjoying Ocean Springs though it was nice to come home for a weekend. The only bad thing is that I started getting this cough today and started feeling yuck. Luckily I don't have a fever (and I hope it stays that way) so as of right now I don't think I have the flu. Family medicine is still going well. I'm somewhat dreading psych but at the same time I'm getting ready to be back home.
Anyway, I hope all is going well out there in blogland. I'm enjoying all the updates by Laura. She's inspired me to try to update more. Maybe if it stops raining long enough for me to get on the beach I can get a photo post going.
Until next time.

I have new readers (thanks to working at a clinic where everyone was under the age of 33, is on facebook, and stalks me)...thus the inspiration for updates. I'm at Baptist...Janet and Brent picked me for their team. And I have news for you...
