Recent Movies Watched

Last night I finished Philadelphia. It's the first Hollywood movie that dealt with AIDS in America. Tom Hanks plays a homosexual lawyer with AIDS. Denzel Washington plays the reluctant lawyer to advocate Hank's case. Powerful & real... it's an excellent movie! It won a few Oscars in 1993.

The Ten- a movie I watched last week with my new roommates. It's comprised of 10 short stories inspired by, not based, on the Ten Commandments. Overall, this movie is crude & sacrilegious. The cast is good and the movie is hilarious at parts and keeps your attention. I don't recommend this movie. Maybe I'm not cultured enough or don't know how to better interpret this movie. Thoughts?
