I rented Love & Other Drugs. I actually found it to be a very good story. I like Ann Hathaway but was unsure if she would be able to pull off this role. I was pleasantly surprised.

We also rented Unstoppable. It was ok but the boy really liked it. Then again if there is things being destroyed he is a happy boy.

How much naked Jake is in Love & Other Drugs? I have a good Jake jones going right now.

I recall some really nice shots of his ass. They were a pretty steamy couple

innerSpaceman 04-06-2011 02:33 PM

Sold.

There's quite a bit of naked. Plenty of Anne naked too.

And a solid romantic drama. Probably not the kind of thing that'll be remembered in 20 years but not remotely a burn.

Believe it or not, I will appreciate some naked Hathaway, too - - but above all, appreciate a decent romantic film.

Agreed. There's even some loveliness in there. The silent film is also very good and probably the most faithful adaptation, save the end.

Been on a Michael Fassbender binge.

Angel = HORRIBLE. He's good but everything else is horrid.
Fish Tank = Very, very good film.
Centurion = Like other Neil Marshall movies, fun for the sake of fun mostly. And gory. And full of frightening women.

Saw the latest Jane Eyre (also starring M.F.) and thought it was a bit plodding, actually. Though they played around with the chronology in how they told the story, so made it a somewhat unique adaptation. Threw in a bit more obvious UST than the usual. But as the cast Rochesters get more and more attractive, Jane seems more and more like a liar when she tells him she doesn't think him handsome. Heh.

So I watched Love and Other Drugs, and found it kinda meh. Jake is adorable, but I guess I don't much like it when the whole plot is about him knowing what a hot stud he is.

Also, even though the story WAS about the health industry, I find romcoms where the girl has a terminal illness to be pretty heavy-handed.

So, in the last year, I have not gone to the cinema often, but here are some of the movies I've gone to: Inception, Unknown, The Adjustment Bureau, Limitless, and today, Source Code. And they're all really blending together! (It's partly because I won't go to see comedies in the theater- they seem like video fodder to me - and these alternate reality/sci-fi things just seem to always catch me when I have free time and a free pass, as was the case today.)

Anyway, Source Code- I enjoyed it. However, I would have liked it more if

Spoiler:
It had ended at the "frozen in time" moment just a few minutes away from the end. In other words, if it had left the existence of the happy alternative future ambiguous. I would have found that really lovely.


Also, I was surprised to learn that I'm only nine years older than super-cute Michelle Monaghan.
