Tyler Perry's Meet the Brown's. Interesting.

It was ok for seeing on TV. The royal couple heads off a remote locale and deals with a threatening environmental issue while on their honeymoon. I liked the local cultural touches.

The Men Who Stare at Goats last Friday afternoon. George Clooney and Ewan McGregor were hilarious together and had the comedic tone, timing and looks down to a [paranormal] science. Jeff Bridges as a military officer/hippie researching paranormal use of military tactics was so funny as well.

Didn't know Ewan MrGregor's in that. Must put it on the list.

Well, I finally finished watching the first season of The Tudors by Showtime. I can see where some would find it appealling, but I hated it. Full of inaccuracies, casting Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Henry VIII -- c'mon... But there were some nice touches in there, such as the casting of Maria Doyle Kennedy as Katherine of Aragon, whom I found very believable in the role.

I think you just have to look at The Tudors as a guilty pleasure, I do! But Maria DK was excellent as Katherine, one of the few actors to bring a great deal of dignity to their role. I recently saw her in an adaptation of a Maeve Binchy book, and she was also excellent in that, she is very versatile.

"Up", great movie! Ironically today is the 80th birthday of Ed Asner who is the voice of the old man. For a kids movie it had more adult themes then I thought it would.

I bet it wins the Oscar.

Vantage Point - ugh what a load of tripe, the constant going back gave me a headache after a while, can't believe a film with such a high body count was only rated 12 over here.

The Big Country, with Gregory Peck, 1958. I'm on quest to see all of Gregory Peck's movies, so this was a "must see". Going in, I had a hard time imagining Peck in a western, but I liked it. Not your typical western. It was a nicely nuanced movie, with the bad guys turning out not so bad as originally painted (at least, not all of them); and the good guys, not so good; and the presumed heroine is gradually revealed as shallow and by the end, a woman who orignially looked like a side character gets Peck. Long movie--almost three hours, and it does start to drag just a tad at points, but overall it held my interest. I highly recommend it, particularly if you like classic movies.
