Two non-military/history films over the weekend. I watched Vanilla Extract because my wife had rented it. I found Sunshine Cleaners on late night cable on my own so I can't use her as an excuse for watching a "chick-flick". I don't recall hearing any prior buzz on either of them, but both were great. Interesting characters well cast and acted. Writing and directing that tell stories, make sense and keep you interested, without blood, violence, or special effects. Best of all, they are free of obnoxious over-exposed hollywood elitists. Vanilla Extract is a lighter comedy and things are a bit campier but both are well worth a look.
