I'm sure I will. I just don't like watching movies alone :(

Okay. So, did you see this movie, Linder? You have no excuse now. :)

I watched it last night. Alone. :) Wow. Sandler is fabulous. Great performance. Cheadle is awesome, but I find he usually is. He is one of my favorite actors right now.

I really appreciated how the film didn't focus too much on 9/11. The parts that did address it still made me cry, but I think those parts would have made me cry if they had been about a car accident or cancer or something. I think the writers did a really good job about not focusing on that, and I, personally, appreciated it.

I can tell you I won't listen to that song the same way ever again.

Not sure how I felt about the movie.

I liked it, but something intangible was missing, which kept me from really being floored by it. Great cast.

Continually impressed by the way Sandler goes between movies as a goofy guy with random silly attribute or a very serious role. It's pretty unique to be able to do that, avoiding typecasting alone.

I just re-watched it. I've been wanting to re-watch this for a while and I wanted to kickoff the holiday movie watching season with a movie filmed in winter in NY (still too early for christmas films).

The scene when Sandler tells his story really gets me. Wow.

Seen it yet Linder?

Thanks to this thread i looked for reign over me on netflix to find out if it was available instantly, Sadly it isn't. Then I looked for reign of fire (the superior movie with "reign" in the title) and that is not streaming either.

Why can't they stream reign of fire?!?!?!?

:bang:

As soon as I saw this thread bumped, I thought "I wanna watch that again."

Still have not seen It's A Wonderful Life.

:trout:

If you do not see it this Christmas season, I will pray for Jesus to come to your house and hold your eyes open so you must watch it. (Okay, I won't really pray for that, but you really have to freaking see it!) If we invite you over for dinner AND the movie this November, will you see it?
