Date night at home. They usually start around 9:30. We had, "Appaloosa" to watch. Tom had read the book. I like westerns, so there we were. The movie was directed by Ed Harris, staring Ed Harris, written by Ed Harris. Reminds me of Ron Howard and Tom Hanks. Actually, this was a very well done movie. The sets, costumes, script and casting left no room for improvement. It languished a bit in a few spots, but they were necessary to drive a moment to the full story. I'm not used to slower paced movies any more. So many quick clips. It took a few minutes to settle in and adjust to a deliberate, thought-out pace. Once I did I was able to fully take in the settings, the character development.
We both really enjoyed this movie. I'm very glad we used our at home date night for it.
Instead of a chick flick, this was a dude flick. It told of true friendship between men without any mush and about how most women are out for themselves and will lie. One woman told it like it was; the other, Renee Zellweger's character, was the lying, selfish woman in the guise of a man's dream. We enjoyed the friendship of the men - true and unshakable until the end.
