Broken Embraces Now Available on DVD
Broken Embraces starring Penelope Cruz is now available on DVD. This movie is the fourth project of which Penelope Cruz and film maker Pedro Almodovar have done together. Its one of those slow moving movies but the overall product is amazing and worthy of your time to watch.
Cruz has truly perfected her craft as an actress. She has come into her own and totally captures your interest. I see why she has been nominated for Oscars 2 years in a row.
Synopsis(from IMDB.com:
A man writes, lives and loves in darkness. Fourteen years before, he was in a brutal car crash on the island of Lanzarote. In the accident, he not only lost his sight, he also lost Lena, the love of his life.
This man uses two names: Harry Caine, a playful pseudonym with which he signs his literary works, stories and scripts, and Mateo Blanco, his real name, with which he lives and signs the film he directs.
After the accident, Mateo Blanco reduces himself to his pseudonym, Harry Caine. If he can't direct films he can only survive with the idea that Mateo Blanco died on Lanzarote with his beloved Lena.
In the present day, Harry Caine lives thanks to the scripts he writes and to the help he gets from his faithful former production manager, Judit García, and from her son Diego, his secretary, typist and guide. Since he decided to live and tell stories, Harry is an active, attractive blind man who has developed all his other senses in order to enjoy life, on a basis of irony and self-induced amnesia. He has erased from his biography any trace of his first identity, Mateo Blanco.
One night Diego has an accidental interaction of recreational drugs, and Harry takes care of him (his mother, Judit, is out of Madrid and they decide not to tell her anything so as not to alarm her).
During the first nights of his convalescence, Diego asks him about the time when he answered to the name of Mateo Blanco, after a moment of astonishment Harry can't refuse and he tells Diego what happened fourteen years before with the idea of entertaining him, just as a father tells his little child a story so that he'll fall asleep.
The story of Mateo, Lena, Judit and Ernesto Martel is a story of amour fou, dominated by fatality, jealously, the abuse of power, treachery and guilt.
A moving and terrible story, the most expressive image of which is the photo of two lovers embracing, torn into a thousand pieces.

One Life to Live Ends Gay Couple Relationship & General Hospital's Domestic Violence Story Takes Center Stage

One Life to Lives ends gay couple relationship between Kyle and Fish and General Hospital's domestic violence story takes center stage with Kristina's severe beating.
ABC has decided to end the relationship between the highly publicized gay couple, Kyle and Fish, on its soap opera ‘One Life to Live,’ according to TV Guide Magazine. The couple is reportedly being brought to an end because the show’s fans have responded negatively, and the show has seen a decline in ratings since last year. OLTL's Executive producer Frank Valentini, confirms the news. “We are concluding the story that we set out to tell with Kyle and Fish. We are very proud to have broken new ground with a same-sex couple on daytime.”
A big secret revealed on March 29th will begin to wrap up the storyline (maybe they will finally read those DNA results which say Fish is Sierra Rose father). Both actors who play Kyle and Fish (Brett Claywell and Scott Evans) will leave the show and later return.
Claywell told ZAP2IT how he found out the news: "We found out separately. I found out the day before the story broke; I was at "One Life to Live" because I was submitting my Emmy reel. And the same day I'm submitting my Emmy reel, Frank [Valentini] tells me that they're no longer continuing the storyline and that I've filmed my last day.
I do believe there's a certain way that things have to be done to protect the machine, and there are certain things that could be done differently. Scott found out through somebody tweeting him, and absolutely, that's not the way he should've found out. It shouldn't happen that way."
- After weeks of slaps and verbal put downs from Kristina's boyfriend, the story finally comes to an explosive head. Kristina after a failed attempt of throwing herself at Ethan, gets severely beaten up by her boyfriend. Then she does the unthinkable and fingers Ethan as her attacker when he was the one who took her to the hospital.
The beaten was brutal and hard to watch but is a story that must be told when the percentage of domestic abuse between teen boyfriend and girlfriends keeps rising.
