Staying in with a sad sentimental movie and sweets may be a clichéd plot
point of chick flicks, but the truth is everybody needs a good cry and a
bowl of ice cream every now and again. Up the ante from Sleepless in
Seattle and vanilla with one of these three DVD and dessert
pairings:
The
Princess + the Warrior and Häagen-Dazs Caramel
Cone Explosion
A German film deserves a German-sounding pint
with extra crunch. From the writer-director of Run Lola Run,
the story centers around a lovelorn psychiatric nurse and a
brokenhearted bank robber who come together through a series of
unfortunate events.
The
Painted Veil and Ben & Jerrys Peanut Butter
Tracks
The comfort of peanut butter will carry you through
this tumultuous literary tale about a doctor (Edward Norton) and
socialite (Naomi Watts) who trek into a remote village in China and turn
languishing love fervent.
After
the Wedding and Island Farms Rocky Road
Mads
Mikkelsen (of Casino Royale) stars in this Danish film about a
man who is beckoned home from India to meet his orphanages benefactor,
but finds hes been called back by the man for a profound, heartbreaking
reason. Their rocky road is your Rocky Road.
