    The Break Up

    This movie appears in the ads to be a lighthearted comedy about men and women in relationships, with stars of Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn.

    Unfortunatley, though, I quickly found the irony to go too far, tinged with cynicism, really bashing women being illogical in relationships, and men just being sexist pigs. There were some redeeming moments, with parts that were funny, and others that were somewhat serious and heartfelt, but all in all, I again just felt that the movie erred on the cynical side.

    One of our neighbors had recommended it for a great date movie. I would not. I'd recommend it if you've recently had a bad breakup of a relationship, and you just want to wallow a bit in hating the opposite sex and the way love doesn't work out right.

    It's not horrible, but overall, I didn't like it.

    Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

    I took my wife to see this the other night and really could not find a lot to like about it and my wife thought it was mediocre as well.Just does not work.

      I'll probably rent the dvd when it comes out. Vince Vaughan really tickles my funnybone.

        Bridget Jones's Diary ok for men,too

        I rented this because my wife wanted to see it. I didn't think I would like it but actually ended up finding it quite delightful.Women will probably associate with the lead character because she's obsessed with weight, food, becoming an old maid,etc, but it's really all quite funny.

        X-Men 3 Review
        by audioqueso
        1am.. and I just finished watching all 3 X-Men movies.
        First of all, I must say that I got a sweet deal at Best Buy today. All 3 movies for $30! I picked it up at noon and it was actually the last box set. So great deal there.

        I never saw X-Men 3 movie at the theaters. ...

        X-men Origins: Wolverine
        by George Bellefontaine
        I am not a big X-Men fan so you can take what I say here with a grain of salt. I did find the first X-Men movie entertaining enough but have to say Wolverine just didn't measure up to it. It was okay and the blu-ray disc offered great picture and sound, but this is not a movie I'd care to watch again,...

        I posted this elsewhere, but I don't think many people get into that subforum. Maybe some of you will enjoy my crazy mind:
