Saw "House of Sand and Fog" today which left me in a mopey mood. An odd mix (a mélange, if you will) of two strong, but desperate, people -- one, a former Iranian colonel now trying to make a home for his family in America and one, a recovering drug addict -- struggling over the rights to a house overlooking the Pacific. I love Ben Kingsley and don't mind slow, steady, films , but this could have used a bit more editing (although it certainly had the tears).
