Ahí viene Martín Corona

Pedro Infante plays a Robin Hood sort that helps the downtrodden. I have to admit I didn't really care for this Mexican western. I watched it because I'm a fan of Sara Montiel and she sang a couple of numbers. To be honest I was just thrilled that someone bothered to translate another one of her movies. It's best just to watch La violetera, the other Sara Montiel movie that someone bothered to translate. It's a better movie. Ahi viene Martin Corona is on tubi.

Marisol, llámame Pepa (Marisol call me Pepa)

I was thrilled to learn that someone made a documentary about the Spanish actress/singer. What was even more surprising to me was the fact that someone actually subtitled it. I've been a fan of Marisol for twenty years. I haven't been able to watch the movies that she made in her childhood since nobody has bothered to translate them. I've simply been listening to her music. The documentary starts from when she discovered as a child prodigy until her retirement at only 35 years old. She was exploited and barely had a childhood. Later on she got involved in communism and did movies that were more controversial than the ones she did as a child. My sister was surprised at how political her later music became. A lot of times I find myself not liking a celebrity after watching a documentary about them. Luckily this wasn't the case. After her husband cheated on her and a movie flopped she said goodbye to the industry altogether. She refuses to even do small interviews. The movie shows her daughters picking up her trophy at a lifetime achievement award. Marisol has become something of a myth. You need an all region player for this one since it's in PAL format. I wish that someone would bother to translate a lot of Spain's musicals from the 1960s that had actresses like Pili and Mili, Rocio Durcal, and Marisol. I can't be the only one who wants to watch them.

La Tia Alejandra

This was an ok Mexican horror movie about an elderly aunt who moves into a household. Once she does people in the family start dying. It isn't long until the parents break and the aunt gets what's coming to her. Some people online think that the old woman wasn't a witch. I disagree. The misfortunes in the household are too coincidental. I found it with subtitles on youtube.

Hum Aapke Hain Koun

This movie was three hours and thirty minutes. It didn't have a plot until the last forty minutes because of that I can't recommend it. It took too long to get interested in it. If it was like the last forty minutes I would recommend it. The last of the movie concerns a woman having to marry her departed sister's husband to take care of the baby. But she is really in love with Salman Kahn. The only good thing I can say about it is that it has an attractive cast. It was a box office hit at the time.

Trouble in Store

This was my introduction to comedian/singer Norman Wisdom. He was ok. I really watched it because Margaret Rutherford co-starred and I liked her in Blithe Spirit. Unfortunately, she wasn't in much of it. He works as a stocker and falls for a girl that works there. Together they find out about a robbery that's going to happen and save the store. It kind of reminded me of George Formby, just not as good.

Funny Farm

This was an ok Chevy Chase comedy where a writer and his wife move out to the country. It turns out she's more of a writer than him and the people of the town are a disappointment that is until money is involved. It didn't change my life but it was cute. I thought it was better than some of the more acclaimed Chevy Chase movies I've seen.

Kya Kehna

This was a mediocre Indian movie. It had a good cast though. Preity Zinta is likable and Saif Ali Khan plays a bad boy well. Saif and Preity are both college students who have a brief romance. After he gets her pregnant, her family almost disowns her and the boy leaves. The community shuns her. Things work out in the end though. People on imdb said the treatment of unmarried pregnant girls in India isn't this bad. I believe this is an exaggerated portrayal. SPOILER: I'm glad that the good guy who had liked her all along asked to marry her. It's nice Saif reformed but that mother-in-law would have been a nightmare.
