Synopsis:
The following is from the DVD description:
“Inspired in part by a true story, faith comes face-to-face with failure as a 19-year-old girl prepares to become a suicide bomber. There is no explanation as to ‘why’ she has come to her conviction, only that she believes her decision absolutely. Wrought with fear and anticipation, hints of doubt and signs of a failed mission, ‘Day Night Day Night’ creates an unsettling, intense, and completely unpredictable viewing experience.”
“Day Night Day Night” is not rated.
CS Comment:
While a film about a suicide bomber is a little more than I was ready to see at this point, it certainly is an interesting character drama delving into the mind of terrorists.

“Paris, the City of Light, shines even brighter when Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire team up for the only time and bring their luminous starpower to this exquisite musical featuring songs by George and Ira Gershwin. This dazzling romp — filmed on location in Paris — garnered four Academy Award® nominations.
In the role of bookstore clerk transformed into a modeling sensation, Hepburn showcases singing and dancing skills she had honed on the London stage, performing “How Long Has This Been Going On?,” a “Basal Metabolism” dance in a cool-cat bistro and more. Astaire, as the fashion photographer who discovers her, conjures up his inimitable magic for sequences that include his “Let’s Kiss And Make Up” matador diversion, a heavenly dance with Hepburn to “He Loves And She Loves” and, again with Hepburn, the title-tune enchantment, “I Love Your Funny Face.” Now and forever, so do we.”
“Funny Face” is not rated.
CS Comment:
You don’t see many 50th anniversary DVDs out there, but “Funny Face” certainly deserves the treatment. Starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire, this is a must-see for classic movie fans.

Told in a series of flashbacks, “How I Met Your Mother” is the hilariously unpredictable story of how twenty-something Ted meets his soul mate and says goodbye to the singles’ world of pick-up lines, one night stands and relationship ‘deal-breakers.’ With friends Marshall and Lily’s wedding fast approaching, the outrageously inappropriate Barney remains a consummate bachelor, while Ted’s romance with Robin is heats up, but is she really the one for him? Things have a funny way of working out in this delightfully fresh and fast-paced comedy.”
