Who sees The Hangover with your significant other? Was this retribution for having to see Sex and the City?

life of brian

Saw the 2009 version of Pelham 123 ... I think I like the 1974 version better. I also saw Angels & Demons which I thought was better than Davinci Code; I loved seeing the Roman sites best.

She's the one who asked me to go.

I haven't seen this yet, and this isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. Citing the setting as the star doesn't bode well for the other parts of the movie, like acting, script and stuff. Glad you liked it nonetheless.

I watched Milk, The Wrestler & The Reader on the flights to/from Italy. They were all good and I would recommend each of them. I thought Milk was the best of the 3, with Sean Penn being brilliant and deserving of the Oscar. The Wrestler was a lot more sentimental than I expected and Mickey Rourke was good. The Reader started off a bit rocky, but developed very well throughout the course, with a bit of a strange ending IMO.

Seeing Milk and The Reader finally completed my viewing of all the Best Picture nominees - that is a first for me. I still think my vote would have gone to Benjamin Button, then in order would be Milk, Frost/Nixon, Slumdog, The Reader.

If you enjoyed D-C, you'll really like this one.

I you didn't enjoy D-C at all then it's your call.

I was in the first camp.

Haven't seen it, but it reminds of another Vegas-buddy movie that I liked, but almost no one else did, called Very Bad Things.
Christian Slater, Cameron Diaz, Jon Favreau...anyone? Anyone?

I was in the second camp, and will end up netflixing A&D. I do want to see it at some point.

Far better ways to spend two hours of your life than this.

Rarely do remakes work in my opinion. I enjoyed the '74 version recently.

A remake of Rear Window was even tried. How embarrassing.

Finally got to this last night. A very emotional story indeed! The premise of the movie becomes predictable and a little far fetched (but you want to believe the "purity" of it). Overall I thought it was very well done. Will Smith is on a roll lately!

What did you think?

Nothing but the truth

A Clockwork Orange.

The Hangover.

It's one of those movies that becomes funnier a day or so after viewing, when you start talking about the various scenes.
