        Silver Lake was tough. I think I prepare myself for a lot of those movies, though. My sister rented Untamed Heart and once I realized that it was going to wipe me out, I was too far into it to run away. By the end, I was on the floor sobbing. She felt really guilty. (So every cloud DOES have a silver lining, ha!)
