I remember!!!

In This World.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0310154/

It's actually based on a real life 12 year old Afghan's story.

Now I am trying to remember the title of this wonderful fictional movie with great cinematography which I think was Italian. Dang. I had all this in Flailing in the Surf. Damned Hackers.

Oh and did you get that one where the boy dreamed of running the movie theatre in his town? That one is Italian. From the 1980s Dang... I'll get back to you. I suck at titles.

Another recent movie is The Cider House Rules (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124315/), but honestly the book was much much much better than the movie. Still though, it won all sorts of aclaim, so I thought I'd mention it.

anytime you feel like it, ZCC can be resurrected. Told you that. Just takes sweat.

*nod*

It's just not worth the sweat atm since I don't have time to take on a sixth blog. Let alone to really work on that topic. but if that situation should change in the next 6 months, and it might, i'll definitely let you know.

exactly my thoughts. I might just get it so you can drag it into your blog as a category if you'd like. but not now. I've got a dissertation to evaluate, and an an MEd as well.
