Movie anyone?

I went exploring this morning and learned a bit about Palm Springs and it’s environs.
I went to another film this afternoon. Brotherhood is a dark Danish drama, which won Best Film at the Rome Film Festival. It’s the tale of two very different guys, members of a white supremacy group who develop a dangerous relationship. Yes, another Gay-themed film but this was so-o-o much better. Beautifully filmed, mostly at night, it had a very authentic feel and the performances were terrific. It was not formulaic, had good twists and a great dénouement. Later in the evening I saw Merantau from Indonesia. This martial arts movie purported to be new in style and scope just seemed so usual. It was only film I saw in a theatre where there were any empty seats. I think there were at most 50 people in the theatre. They seemed to enjoy it and clapped enthusiastically at the end… I don’t know what I missed.
Tomorrow I have a slim chance to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I am going for it. Keep your fingers crossed.
