Now there's a thought.... don't got to movies and watch hollyweird sweat... Me I just wait for the dvd then rent it unless its somthing epic like oh say... The lord of the Rings trilogy. Speaking of Hannable... There is lots of great history, strategy and tactics as well as battles in that story.... leave it to hollywierd to turn it into a freakin homosexual F*&K fest....

I'm with you pal.

I just checked out the Nino web site and watched the long trailer. Not impressed. This is no "Greek Wedding".
Hollywood probably won't touch it because it reeks.

There is only about one movie a year I would even consider going to a theatre to watch and I know you can't always tell from a trailer, but it seems the writer has tried too hard to pull the heartstrings--and the laughs look weak. Also, they should have employed unknown actors--that works best for low-budget big-hits (Greek Wedding, Breaking Away, Blair Witch). Instead, Nino employs some actors who are known--known for being creepy in other really bad low-budget films.

I'm always suspect of people who are proud they don't go to movies. I once dated a guy who told me that his hero was a Professor of his who was so "enlightened," so "brilliant" that he didn't even know, when it came up in a conversation, who Mickey Mouse was. I broke up with this guy. Popular culture is important to gauge the growth and (sometimes) decline of a Society. Not too mention it's just fun sometimes. If you do your homework, you can find movies that are good. But to say that you're somehow better for not going to any is, in my opinion, ignorant.
