The Ramen Girl

Boredom or the plain desire to burry myself in my sheets disregarding any signs of productivity often leads me to browse through the channels in search for what can entertain my lazy bum for the next hour or two.  I came across The Ramen Girl.  It's description alone was too ridiculous to pass up.  Brittany Murphy plays a typical white girl American in search of her own identity in the heart of Japan.  She takes an apprenticeship with one of Japans master chefs to perfect the art that is Ramen.  In a mix between cultures you get hit with comedy, romance, and if you're oriental, the memory of being yelled at by an elder who "knows whats best." If you do come across this movie, kick back relax and get ready to crave some ramen!

One thing that I learned from this movie is that whenever you eat something that someone has prepared for you, no matter how terrible or delicious it is, always be appreciative.  This person took the time and energy to prepare you something so take it as a gift.
