movies

During the recent break, I watched 2 dvd movies. One was "Music and lyrics" starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. It is a romantic comedy.

The other was "The Painted Veil" starring Naomi Watts and Edward Norton. It is based on the classic novel by Somerset Maugham. It is a love story set in the 1920's and tells the tale of a young English couple. He is a doctor married to an upper class woman. He marries her because he loves her but she marries him to escape from her mother.When the doc discovers wife's infidelity, in an act of vengeance, he accepts a job in a remote village in China ravaged by a deadly epidemic and gives her no choice but to follow him. Will their relationship be revived under such circumstance? Go watch it!
