El secreto de sus ojos

Hey folks,

Yes, I know. I promised a World Cup preview blog. It's coming. Hold your horses. I'm still trying to mentally process everything I saw from the United States team on Saturday. But, I just wanted to write a quick blog about a really great movie C and I saw last night.

The film is called The Secret in Their Eyes. The film is definitely a crime thriller, and it won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film this year. The story takes place in Argentina during the late 90s, but there are many flashbacks to the 70s. Basically, a brutal murder from the main character's past still haunts him. In an attempt to reconcile his past, he begins writing a novel based on the murder. This leads to a whole bunch of good plots twists. The way the film weaves the present with the past is probably its best element. The end does not disappoint.

Side note: Those of you in Milwaukee should check out Cafe Corazon. It's located in Riverwest on Bremen just north of Burleigh. C and I ate dinner there Saturday night, and it was fantastic. Cheap and great mexican food. Plus, all the beef comes from the owner's family farm in Waupon, WI. Added bonus: it's right near Nessun Dorma. So just pop over there afterward and have some great beer.

Alright, next blog will be the world cup preview....I promise.

Until then, do good and be good.
