Un dimanche à Kigali

Today, Monday, April 18, 2006, I went to see Un dimanche à Kigali with Roman and Leonardo. Roman and Leonardo have a small history... Roman made out with Leonardo once while they were both really drunk. Anyway...

This movie stars Luc Picard, who was also in l'Audition. It's another story about the Rwandan massacre in 1994. It's similar to the story - Hotel Rwanda, which was released in 2004 with Dan Cheadle. It was a dramatic and sad story. However, there was a funny part in the story where someone pushes a Canadian embassy bitch into the pool. I thought it was funny, but no one else in the theatre found it funny. I don't know if I'm bizarre or what. The acting was good, the dialogue was very realistic, and it was more bloody than Hotel Rwanda, but there were fewer dead bodies in this movie. I recognized the Hotel Mille Collines again. It was also an experience to see another approach to the story.

After the movie, we went to get Subway, and then ice-cream at Ben & Jerry's. I also went to see at Blockbuster to see if used copies of Brokeback Mountain have come out, and sure enough there were used copies available, for $16.99. I was thinking, these copies are three weeks old, and I have to pay $16.99 for them? It's $24.99 at Future Shop! It's $8! For an $8 difference, I could get a new DVD! So, why would I want one that's $16.99, that's three weeks old? I am thinking that the DVD will cost less with time (in about one or two weeks). But, a friend said that she would get it for me. So, I'll wait until then.

I think I'm going to do the same thing with Mrs. Henderson Presents. I'll wait a month or a month and a half before I buy it used from Blockbuster. There were also copies of Pride & Prejudice, the version with Keira Knightley for $14.99. I did like that movie, but it wasn't one that I thought I would see again and again. I know with Brokeback Mountain, I'll see it again and again. I know with Mrs. Henderson Presents, I'll see it again and again. Pride & Prejudice, not so much.
