I took this end after work yesterday, and you’ve nailed it in the review, Elyse. Good one, PCN! Thanks for this.

I have a feeling this would be a nose wrinkler for me. Like everyone else I dislike both Cruise and Cameron. And there are very few action films that go over the top that I enjoy. If I see this it will likely be on DVD, but the list of to watches is getting longer and longer and I haven’t been watching much of anything. TOY STORY 3 is a much higher priority for me. 🙂

OK, I’ll make a concerted effort to put down the PEOPLE mag and squeeze in some Woodrell instead. Fair trade, wouldn’t you say?

Add me to the head-beaters. My fave (but it may be because it was my first) was Give Us a Kiss (A Country Noir). And not very long, so wouldn’t take you but a few hours.

I’m semi-ashamed to say I’ve never read him even though several people have been beating me over the head with his books. My lame excuse? Only one set of eyes and not enough time. Which one’s your favorite?

Valid point. 🙂

Oooh, jealousy! I’m going to try and see this weekend. Woodrell is beyond words. Have you read his stuff? Give Us a Kiss one of the greatest ever.

Ha! If I had that much power, I’d be rich. I think it’s more that brilliant, classy, attractive people think alike.

Guess what I’m seeing tonight? Winter’s Bone. Will report back, if not by tomorrow then Friday.

I couldn’t believe as I was typing the review that I was giving TC a thumbs up but I feel pretty confident you’ll find him charming, too. The movie has narrative flaws for sure but it’s fun so just eat the popcorn and go with it. Take the kids then come back and tell me if I owe you money.

Interesting to note the almost universal commenter dislike of TC and no great like for CD and yet the movie interests us all. What is it that is elevating this particular action movie full of unlikeable actors to our lists?

Can it be PCN has this much power over our viewing habits? I’m beginning to get a fearful knot in my stomach. 🙂
