Weekend movie reviews

Entre Las Piernas, Between your Legs (1999)

Miranda (Victoria Abril) is married, but uses her nightly dog walks to pick up strange men for illicit sexual encounters. Javier (Javier Bardem) has a serious phone-sex habit. They meet when they start attending a therapy group for sex addicts and embark on an affair. But soon, Javier finds that someone's been taping his dirty phone conversations and distributing them all over Spain, and Miranda's husband discovers her relationship with Javier.

First let me just say Javier Bardem is hot and I would love to, well lets just say meet him. The opening credits alone are so cool. Think of modern graphic grid work from the fifties and sixties morphing into the next. The music score was right on. The sex was hot and well shot. The whole damn movie was freaking great. Its now in my non existant top ten.

The next...Une Liaison D'Amour, An Affair of Love (1999)

A nameless woman places an ad searching for "a pornographic affair." A nameless man answers. They correspond, meet and begin an affair as mysterious as their hidden desires. After the liaison ends, the two confess their feelings to an interviewer. Director Frdric Fonteyne's touching drama offers a fascinating look at how sex without love can still evoke powerful emotions and alter lives.

Besides Bound this movie has the hottest sex scene I've ever viewed outside of porn. Ah a great movie to watch when you think of all the ways we can describe one singular happening.

Both of these movies made me wish I knew either spanish or french. But I'm leaning towards spanish seeing as I seem to have a weakness for the spanish people.
