Last movie you watched......

My bad, y'all.

 

i watched transformers 3 last week and was a little disapointed. the special effects and 3d was realy good but the plot dragged on a bit.

 

"Cowboys and Aliens" was a good popcorn flick. The western scenes kept it going. It really didn't need aliens. I could have watched Craig and Ford try to out-macho each other for 90 minutes and gotten my 10 bucks' worth.

Olivia Wilde is hot, but she looked out of place riding along with cattlehands and stage heisters in what can only be described as glorified jammies.

It's predictably fun, and Jon Favreau doesn't let things drag on too long.

 

Just finished watching "Morning Glory" courtesy of Netflix. I wasn't sure about it going in, but I really enjoyed it. And looking at Rachel McAdams for an hour and 45 minutes wasn't too bad, either.

 

All this, except I thought it kind of did drag on too long at the end. Still, at an hour and 58 minutes, it's hard to complain about it too much.

 

Finally saw Love and Other Drugs. I'm a sucker for a.) romance and b.) Jake Gyllenhaal. He might never have looked better in a movie, and that counts Jarhead.

I adored it. Even as I cursed him (and her).

 

Seen a few movies lately, but the one that I can't stop thinking about is "There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane," an HBO doc about the horrifying traffic accident that claimed the lives of eight people on the Taconic Parkway in New York. There was probably a thread about the story at the time, but here is a link:

The movie answers very few questions about what the hell happened that day. And it left me thinking there was something very wrong with Aunt Diane's husband. Just a tragedy on every single possible level. Parts of it are difficult to watch.

 

Watched "Dinner For Schmucks" last night. Didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to ...

 

Now the two sides of the family — Diane Schuler's husband and her sister-in-law whose three daughters were also killed in the crash — are suing each other:

I've seen that on the channel guide but haven't recorded it yet.
I'm going to set it up tonight.

 

Hard to watch...but I did sit through 1st 20 minutes or so. Yeah, the husband seems messed up.

 

Although hard to watch, I found it quite well done. It is amazing that they talked to just about everyone involved, other than the family that lost the three daughters. It's sad that there was enough info out there that they were looking for her for quite sometime before the crash, thus the title of the film, and just couldn't catch up to her.

Although they didn't come to any concrete new conclusions or anything, it was interesting to see them admit she smoked pot even if the husband and sister-in-law tried to brush it off. But they made it seem like she hardly touched alcohol. A lot of stuff doesn't add up in that regard.

I read a story recently that the parents that lost the three daughters are pregnant again. In it they said they don't talk to the brother-in-law any more in large part because he won't give up his public quest.
