Weirdly enough, movies come out on Wednesdays in France.  I think it’s because most kids/teenagers have their afternoons off on Wednesdays.  A school week is usually Monday through Friday 9am to 4:30pm, except on Wednesday afternoons.  It actually depends on the school.  Some schools have classes on Saturday mornings till noon but none on Wednesdays and others have class on Wednesday mornings till noon and none on Saturdays.   High school is different tough since you start class at 8:00 and usually are out at 4:00pm-ish but sometimes 6pm: a school week is between 26 to 32 hours… it’s kinda of complicated, I’ll come back to it later on.

Like I was saying, today is movie day.   Here is the list of the movies coming out:

• La cliente : story of a very successful divorced woman whose only secret is to hire male escorts through internet.  She ends up finding a very nice guy who happens to be cheating on his wife-who he is madly in love with-telling her he works in constructions.(trailer)

• Go Fast: Police officer who lost his partner chasing after drug dealers.  He trains to go undercover to stop them from dealing massive amount of cannabis from Spain to France. (trailer)

• Appaloosa (US: Trailer)

• Une Histoire de famille (US: Then she found me : Trailer)

• Vinyan: After the loss of their child in the 2004 tsunami,  a couple stays in Thailand, sure that their son is still alive since they never found his body.  The mother thinks he has been kidnapped.  Even though her husband doesn’t think their son is still alive, he follows his wife into the jungle where lies all sorts of surnatural creatures. (Trailer)

• De la guerre: all I can say is “pleasure is a war”.  Story of a man in quest for pleasure in life and ends up fighting for it, litterally.
