“Hall Pass,” and Owen Wilson. Thumbs down, way down. No, haven’t seen it, only one review. We’re in a serious relationship for nearly 10 years, married for eight of those years and giving one another a ‘hall pass’ has never entered our minds.
We’re much more comfortable with “The King’s Speech” and basically quality films that don’t blow stuff up with no reason, and aren’t of the horror variety.
One of my film criteria now is to make sure neither of the Wilson brothers are in the movie. I’ve never done that before but I thought it was warranted. I enjoy many films that come out in order to make the next year’s Oscars but in our middle age we do not see many of the teen summer and holiday blockbusters. They’re so silly and don’t mean anything. Don’t think we have no sense of humor. We just like wry humor, double entendres and an actual plot. We’ve a guest here so we’ll be watching the red carpet on Sunday!
Did you actually ask that Jim cook us dinner while we’re watching the red carpet? Maybe we’ll send him out for pizza then he can nap on the sofa. In the meantime guest and I will talk about old movies and look forward to “dishing” dresses. Cheers! Dee

Sounds like a great policy (no Wilson bros)…
Last Thurs I treated P to the British “dramedy”, the Mike Leigh film “Another Year”… Very good but very LONG! (Probably better to watch via Netflix so you can break it up) We had a humorous segment near the end, when the picture went out – it was like listening to a radio drama! P & I were laughing, but some of our fellow patrons were NOT amused, stomping out in irritation to complain to mgt.
The previous week, we went to a screening of “Race to Nowhere”, a critique of our No Child Left Behind-revamped educational system – another good & thought-provoking film…
