You can stream movies for free on Netflix?

Also, I love Binoche! Maybe I should watch Unbearable Lightness.

Well, technically, it isn't free because it requires a Netflix membership. But the membership is about $9 (US)/month, and the streaming is unlimited. I also get 1 DVD (at a time) mailed to me included with the membership. I don't know anything about if they do streaming in the UK or anywhere else....

But definitely watch The Unbearable Lightness of Being if you get a chance. When I watched it with my boyfriend, we actually had to split it up (I'm pretty sure it's around 3 hours long) and watch it two consecutive nights because it was late already when we started. But I really enjoyed it. I don't know if you read the book or not, but Binoche was a perfect Tereza. I love her accent in this. And it's a great adaptation.

Ah okay, I'll just get it from FileSonic or something, then. And no, I haven't read the book, is it good?

It is. As I said, it's in my top 3 favorite novels of all time. =)

I just looked it up and it looks interesting, so I added it to my queue. Thanks!

I was actually trying to find some good Japanese movies to watch because I really like listening to Japanese - brings me back to my childhood of watching subtitled anime downloaded off the internet.

I meant to respond to this days ago. Watched Buried with Patricia. It was an intense movie, and she didn't really enjoy it. Not that it was the type of move to enjoy, but I'm glad I saw it. Probably won't ever watch it again, though.

After I refused to watch it, my boyfriend watched it the next day. Then he wished he didn't. Haha. It's not my type of movie, I guess.
