Try this one:
"God, she's beautiful. She's got the prettiest eyes. She looks so sexy in that sweater. I just want to be alone with her and hold her and kiss her, tell her how much I love her, take care of her. Stop it you idiot, she's your wife's sister."
In Theaters:
The Descendents - Let me first say that I can watch George Clooney read the telephone book, but I found this film a bit slow. It is VERY depressing. Without giving the story away, if you have problems with seeing movies about death and dying, this is not for you. There are two side stories regarding his wife and extended family and the land they own in Hawaii. The star of this movie, in my opinion, is Hawaii. Having spent some time there, it was lovely to see the scenery and remember places we visited. The young actors playing his daughters and jerky friend are well cast and give solid performances. Is it well acted? yes. Were the characters likable? yes. Is it a downer? yes. Will you like it? perhaps. See it for yourself and decide.
On Netflix:
Win, Win- This heartwarming story stars Paul Giamatti as an attorney and wrestling coach. His practice is in trouble and he takes on the guardianship of an old man, whose grandson appears out of nowhere. The relationships bloom and a lovely story unfolds. I like how Giamatti never type casts himself. We just saw him in Ides of March and who can forget him as John Adams. Once again he shines in this role. The supporting cast is solid including: Jeffrey Tambor, Amy Ryan, Burt Young and Alex Shaffer. Bobby Cannavale is a hoot as Giamatti's best friend. For a feel good movie, see this one.
When we went to the theater this week, the previews for the holidays looked promising. So take some time to see some of the new films out there.
