i agree ... i found it incredibly boring.
Last night, I rented Georgia Rule and Because I Said So.
Georgia Rule, I think wasted the great talent of 2 or 3 actresses on very weak writing. Jane Fonda was the highlight of the movie, and the writing took away from her more than she deserved. Lyndsay Lohan was weak enough that I think I need to take back some of the compliments I've given to her acting in the past. I think the movie tried to be too dramatic or something, and it got hurt by it.
I wasn't expecting much from Because I Said So, becasue I'd been told by a few people who saw it in the theater that it wasn't worth going to see. I'm not sorry that I didn't see it in the theater, but it was better than I expected. I was a bit horrified by how stronlgy the "You're nothing if you don't have a man" message was given. But by the end, I was glad to see where the characters ended up. It was the better of the two movies, but I'm not dying to see either one over and over again.
Watching Talledaga Nights the Legend of Ricky Bobby. I lurve Ricky Bobby (said in my best fake french accent a la Sacha Baron Cohen).
Last night I rented and watched this movie, based on your recommandation only, John. I was not disappointed. I was hoping for a little more closure, especially for Jason's caracter, but on the whole, it was a fun movie.Quote:

I usually fall asleep on movies past 10:30.
Well here's irony for you. I rented Deja Vu yesterday. We had already seen it. I didn't remember we had seen it, it sounded good, I got it in the dvd player and turned it on and my husband says: Are you feeling any Deja vu? I ask why and he says: Because we've already seen this.
Boy did I feel stupid. :lol
hahahaha, that's great!!! :up
I got Secretary a few days ago.
Not a good sign for how highly you thought of the movie! :laughQuote:

I finally rented Zodiac, and I thought it was pretty decent. I knew very little about the real story before watching, and it was interesting watching how the whole Bay area freaked out over a couple of murders. Like the one cop said, there were over 200 murders that year, but curfews and constant news about 4 murders...
I also have Four Brothers to watch. I rented it before, but returned it unwatched. I'll give it another shot.
That's funny, John, I just saw Zodiac last night. I hadn't known much about it and expected more resolution. I was just looking it up, though, and apparently it's very true to life.
I also saw "300" last week, which was also very good -- very stylized, meant to look a lot like the graphic novel that inspired it, and quite bloody, but interesting and well-done, I thought.
