Michael Clayton because - I think - it won awards and mostly because I saw Atonemet - great movie but better for the big screen (some just are). Kite Riunner greeaatt book but it would make a good choice for your Foreign Film Series, until later!

Hi Alice...got your message about the votes, and wanted to let you know that when viewing the comments section on a post, the sender's name is under the comment. It's a bit confusing, I know...that's just how the software does it. A lot of people make the same mistake.
Hope to see you at the movie tomorrow night!
