DVR recorded movie ratings #8

Where does the time go? I usually post three movies at a time, but for some reason I was going through my DVR list and realized that I have watched six movies in total and not posted anything about them yet. But, I'm sticking with the three or four movie postings and hopefully I can get back on track with it. It's not that I've been watching a lot of recorded movies lately, it's more of where the fuck does the time go and I swear I posted this movie already, which I hadn't.
  • Cliente: Spanish movie with subtitles.Marco leads a double life. He is Marco at home to his wife and family and he is Patrick to his clients. He works as a construction worker, but also as a male prostitute, hence the clients. He gets paid in cash and at times the ladies buy him gifts, which he then gives to his family as birthday gifts and such. He doesn't enjoy prostituting. In fact, the only reason he does it is because his wife owns a beauty salon and he is paying it off for her along with paying for everything else at home. The wife is cheerful and in love with her husband, he seems that way at first, but I dunno. Judith is one of his clients who works as an informercial spokesperson. He realizes who she is when he sees her on tv the next day. Judith works and lives next to her sister, who has a different and funny story of her own. Judith is older and single and calls the male prostitutes once or twice a month, but felt a closeness to Patrick. She soon starts to fall in love with him. The wife answers Marco's phone one day and she is given an address, to which the wife goes to. An Asian lady answers the phone and the wife demands to speak to her husband. Marco/Patrick comes out with a towel around his waist and the wife takes off running and crying. They start to argue at home, but her mom keeps butting in seeing as they all live together and the walls are thin. He promises her that he will stop prostituting, but when the money gets low and they can't pay rent for the salon, the wife has a change of plans, but with stipulations. She ends up meeting Judith and states that Marco/Patrick needs to get home by 8pm so they can have dinner together, no meetings on Saturdays and no sleepovers. Judith couldn't give a shit and soon Patrick is staying at her place longer. This starts another argument between the married couple, that she kicks Marco out. Marco gets drunk, then heads over to Judith who doesn't want to deal with a slosh, but soon gives in. They become a couple, but then Marco realizes he misses his wife and all this is not right. By this time, Judith doesn't want to let him go, but in the end they go their separate ways and Judith goes to visit her sister in America. I give this movie 4 Daisy-girls. It was a fun movie to watch.
  • Monsoon Wedding: Indian movie with English and at times subtitles. Typical Indian movie (as if I've seen many) about an arraigned marriage and how the daughter does want to get married (because she feels she will get old and die alone, and she wants someone to love her unconditionally), but is scared to do so. Lots of lovely colors, and pretty women, dancing, and singing. There is also a little love story about the event coordinator and the housemaid of the main family, which is an aww moment at times. The main couple do have their ups and downs in where she tells him she doesn't want to marry him, but can't marry the guy she really wants. He gets upset, but on the drive home he tells her that he has been in love before, but that it never works out how we really want it to. They both compromise and soon are happy and comfortable with each other. the lovey-dovey stuff happens and it's all cute. There is another little side story about the main girls cousin and some family friend who is pretty much family. I had seen this movie mentioned before, but I had never bothered to watch it, I wish I had. Go see this movie, I give it 5 Daisy-girls.
  • Appropriate Adult: watch this movie.
