if your not swept away by penelope cruz, the landscape will do just fine.

As I was watching the List of movies offered on Pay Per View, I stumbled across Captain Corellis Mandolin. It was a friday evening and the setting in my apartment was romantic, so i decided to give it a try. Surprisingly i thought CCM was intriguing, from the whole scenery to the acting to the love story. As we follow the story of a small greek island town who is being invaded by Italian Soldiers during World War two, it focus's on Penelope Cruz and Nicholas Cage (an Italian Soldier) as they meet and fall in love through out all the turmoil and tragedy that is brought upon by the war. CCM is very touching but also moves slow at parts. Although i couldnt imagine paying the full amount to buy the dvd, i would definatley recommend it as a cheap watch on pay per view.
