I saw Avatar (2nd viewing, 2D this time) and Sherlock Holmes back to back in a movie theatre in one evening this holiday - but I was well

rested. The holidays are a nice time to watch blockbusters, theaters packed. Would've seen Nine as well at that theatre, but they didn't have it. Small town. Would you recommend it?

"Broken Embraces," "Up in the air," "Sherlock Holmes," all very fine. In SHOLM, my only beef apparent peril without consequences. second gary Jan 04, 15:52

I have big beefs with Broken Embraces. Toruk Facto Jan 04, 17:13

I appreciate that many reviewers who have enjoyed and praised other Almodovar have felt the door was open to dislike "Broken Embraces." second gary Jan 04, 18:56

Well, okay, good and serious answer, but Toruk Facto Jan 04, 21:33
