La Mission

This is a movie with Benjamin Bratt as a latino former gangster and a father of a teenage son. He finds out his son is gay and the movie is the story of how he deals with the news. I found some scenes took a little too long and didn't pan out satisfactorily, and the ending left me hanging a bit, but all in all I liked it.

Cairo Time

This is a good movie - in a very subtle way. A woman travels to Cairo to meet up with her husband. The husband is delayed while working for the UN, so he has a friend of his keep his wife company. They become attracted to each other, but it's a very discreet attraction and not the entire focus of the film. I enjoyed it.
