Maria, Llena Eres de Gracia

We have to write a movie analysis in Spanish for our semester report. Really short. Just 250 words. The hardest part will be coming up with an analysis. I already watched one of the movies on the list: Mujeres al Borde de un Ataque de Nervios, or "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown". :) It's kind of vulgar, kind of funny, but mostly just weird. I didn't much like it. The first movie with Antonio Banderas that I don't like. Last night, Kathy Bowersox, my pastor's down the street neighbor and my classmate from Spanish, had a bunch of friends from class over to her house to watch a different movie from the list called Maria Llena Eres de Gracia ("Maria, Full of Grace"). It's about a rural Columbian girl that gets caught up in a heroin smuggling ring and all the fallout from that decision. It's a gritty and compelling story. Much better than Mujeres al Borde.... I also had a dentist appointment to get fitted for a new occlusal guard. One of my subconscious stress relievers is grinding my teeth in my sleep. Not sure what a psychological profile would say about that, but it's starting to wear down my front teeth. So, my dentist said I needed a guard. It sure was strange wearing this thing to bed, especially for someone who never had braces. I'll eventually get used to it. The bad thing is that I can't pronounce "s" and "t" sounds with it on, so I look and sound just like an anthropomorphized beaver. Kind of funny.
