movies!

So in the past 2 months I've watched way too many movies so I've started to think of myself as a little bit of a movie expert. Two nights ago my friend invited me to the latin american movie festival at Cinecenta and I got to see a movie called "Gatos Viejos" from Chile, translation "Old Cats". As I watched this latin american film I became inspired to write about the things I've learned about movies from around the world. Most of this information is useless but if you're ever in the mood for a foreign film this will help you narrow down where in the world you want to watch a movie from!
So, I've realized movies from america have 6 main categories: action, comedy, romantic, musical, sci-fi, and indy (I'm not including documentaries in this analysis because I like myself so I would never watch those, I also feel the same way about indy films but they will make sense for later on).
First off I'm going to talk about French films, all French films are romance movies with cute female leads. Now when I say cute you may be thinking I mean cute for a girl but what I really mean is cute like a fuzzy little animal. Usually this role is played by Audrey Tautou but can also sometimes be played by... -- nope, actually this role is always played by Audrey Tautou. Next I will be talking about Asian films! Asian films are always either sci-fi or action. Now I've been confused about choosing Asian films before because when I'm in the mood for action I don't want to accidentally watch a sci-fi film and vice-versa so here is a rule I made up that's foolproof in realizing whether a movie is sci-fi or action: if it's a ninja film it's action and if it's not a ninja film it's sci-fi. Let's move on. If you're in the mood for an indy movie (in other words you woke up this morning, didn't shower, put on your Toms, and drank a latte from Habit at some point) then I suggest any latin american movie because they're all bad and they're all a great way to waste two hours of your life.
Finally, if you're in the mood for a musical watch a movie from India (enough said, except... these are my personal favourite foreign type of film).
I realize I didn't write a foreign movie category that fits with comedy but really if you think about it any movie can be a comedy -- that just depends on the friends you're with and the headspace you're in.
Till next time!
