Oh, great now everybody has the same opinions! Why is there so much fighting? How are we ever going to know how wrong people are? Do I know what I am saying anymore?

While I'm sure no one would know, is Marley and Me worth checking out? I hate movies with Owen Wilson, but apparently it's pretty depressing, and I'm down with that, especially in a PG movie. Plus I'll likely not be able to see Bolt until DVD. If I do a three movie day on Wednesday, with Revolutionary Road and The Reader I may either go with Marley or Gran Torino for number 3. Though I am pretty sure I can find Gran Torino online. Either way, yes or no for this movie about the dog?

Revolutionary Road was first Mendes film I really did not like. However if you are intending to see both that and the Reader I would certainly advise something with some levity like Gran Torino.

Also anything that involves Aniston usually can be safely missed from experience.

According to imdb it will be the first Mendes film that I'll see, plus it's only showing at like 38 houses, and I'm a sucker for smaller openings before wide releases. And Gran Torino keeps getting recommendations. I'm guess that'll be on the slate.

I have yet to see the film or read the book but the author spoke at my school and from the stories he relayed that were in the book that made it into the film it definitely sounds a crop above similar films. I intend to see it at some point in the future.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Doubt
Frost/Nixon

I'm pretty exhausted, so it should be the one that's not quite worth giving my full attention to or the one that's so riveting that there's no chance of my mind drifting away.
