Movies


Netflix is paying off.

Yana's Friends
I was surprised and moved by this film. The plight of immigrants in a new country is
always touching. Want to talk about eye-opening scenes?
It has to involve gas masks and not just as a film prop. Considering people in Israel,
where the film is based, do own these things and use them on occasion, it was a bit too
real. Brought back the images of people in China wearing face masks during the SARS
'epidemic.'

How to Deal
Teen movie. Mandy Moore could be the next Meg Ryan. (I read that somewhere, and now
I believe it.)
