No, I’ve not seen “Brødre”. To be honest on that point, I’m just repeating what most people around me say (which shows how solid my reasoning was!…).
To keep digging my grave, I shall add that Susanne Bier’s “After the wedding” is also a great movie – according to the rumor.
😉
(At least I saw her “Things we lost in the fire” and found it quite nice. But I still believe her previous Danish movies are really good!)

Have you seen Brødre? I keep hearing the American version isn't as good but haven't seen the original.

Thanks PCN for the time you take to make us save some! It’s so nice to keep us informed about what you think is worth watching and what could be a waste of time (and money)! How would we do without you? 😉

I love Meryl Streep and will maybe go and see this one, knowing that it’s entertaining and funny (like most Nancy Meyers’films) and hoping it’s as interesting and smart as you said it was!
As for “Brothers”, it could be good and the casting is nice, but I’m pretty sure the Danish original movie is better (Susanne Bier’s “Brødre” in 2004)!

Was not interested in seeing The Last Station, but thanks for sealing my opinion on that one.

Thanks, PCN, for giving us a heads up on these. I’m going to try and get SheWMBO out for ITS’ COMPLICATED [though, let’s keep the idea of a fun divorce afterlife to a minimum, I don’t want to give her ideas ;-)]. Netflix for the other two, for me. Thanks, Elyse. I hope your travels and holidays go great!

I was wondering about IT’S COMPLICATED. It looked funny in the previews, but you can never tell anymore. I would check out BROTHERS, but I just can’t deal with anything that heavy this year. I need some laughs!! And it sounds like THE LAST STATION won’t be delivering any.

BTW: I agree with Reader9, you have done well weeding out the good and the bad for us this year and I, too, hope you keep up the good work, PCN.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Alone for Christmas this year, so going over ALL your reviews to use as a guide.

Nothing like sitting spending the holidays in a dark theater with a bunch of strangers. YAY!!!

Oops, bitterness!

One of the things I miss about holidays past is the gathering of family members and convincing everyone to brave the snow and cold to check out a movie together. It was fun watching everyone make the effort and even harder to get everyone one involved to agree on the same film. But still, it was fun. For the last few years it has been next to impossible because the slate of movies available has been pitiful. Thanks for weeding out the good from the bad this year. Hope you continue to do so for a long time.

Peace.

I saw a preview for BROTHERS when I went to see BLIND SIDE. It looked great then and your review reinforces that. I’d only heard a few rumblings about IT’S COMPLICATED, but I LOVE Meryl Streep, so definitely have to check that one out! I’ve been so bad about getting out to the movies lately, though. I think it might have something to do with being able to buy the whole stinking movie for less than one ticket costs…who knows?

Merry Christmas PCN!
