Movie Saturday

I spent most of my Saturday huddled on the couch clutching a box of tissues and eating ice cream in an attempt to ease my sore throat.

But one movie stood out from the other average crap that Blockbuster is pushing: The Syrian Bride. If you can't handle subtitles, then this movie isn't for you. It's a story about a young woman who lives in a Druze village in the Golan Heights (in northern Israel), who is getting married to a Syrian television star. Once she crosses the border to Syria she will never see her family again (she will gain Syrian citizenship, and Syrians are not allowed into Israel). I went through about 4 tissues from all the crying. Definitely worth the rental fee!
