Film!
I've seen two movies in theatre in the past week-ish, which is a recent record for me.
The first movie was The Number 23, which I was laughing at the basically entire time. When the "meaningful quote" from Numbers came onscreen at the conclusion of the film, some folks in front of my group stood up: "We have to leave. Right now." Added to this hilarity was the fact that one of my fellow movie-going friends fell asleep for the last ten minutes of the movie...and was slapped awake by my friend on his other side.
The movie could have worked, and it sort of did. It was a tad too obsessive for my liking, a tad too predictable. Though I did like the "twist" ending, and also the sweet use of score (by Harry Gregson-Williams, the guy who did Narnia) and film techniques. The filming/score was wicked.
Other film: The Painted Veil, starring Naomi Watts and Edward Norton. Looooooved it. Good story, amazing cinematography, cool little twists, a couple of laughs...what can I say? I enjoyed it. Good times.
