Just before leaving for NYC last week Superdad and I did something we hadn't done in eons: we rented movies. We're so behind that we didn't know where to begin, so I just ran through Hollywood Video and nabbed three that looked interesting.
So, here's what we watched:
Superdad and I both really enjoyed this movie. Eric Bana was terrific and made some slower scenes watchable. I don't have any insightful commentary, but I would recommend the movie, though make sure you watch it on a night when you're fully awake and alert.
Hil-arious. Even Superdad enjoyed it . It was a very pretty movie to watch, doesn't require much thought (OK, any) to keep up and I've heard and read it pretty accurately describes the behind-the scenes of the fashion industry.
I thought I'd read good reviews of World Trade Center. Upon proudly showing the rental to Superdad his less than enthusiastic face temporarily tamed my excitement.
"What?" I asked.
"Why'd you rent that?"
"What! It's supposed to be really good. Isn't it?"
"No, Cate, it's not."
"Oh."
And he was right. Pretty dull stuff.

Just saw Devil Wears Prada myself. Definitely a moral to it I thought (without giving away more.)
Adored Devil Wears Prada; as I told you, that was my LIFE for a very brief time. Didn't see WTC and don't plan to, but did see Flight 93 which was harrowing but very good. I am still trying to decide whether I really want to watch movies of the harrowing type or whether I prefer to just be entertained.
Oops I think it was United 93, not Flight 93.
As a general rule if Nicolas Cage is in a movie it is most likely not a good movie. If he wasn't a Coppala this guy would be changing the fryer grease at the local McDonalds.
