She was 32 or 33 when the movie was filmed.

Maybe it's just that over-sized smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes.  Makes her look like a kid.

I found Hank Azaria's character really annoying. At first he was a believable douche bag but towards the end he became more of the overly dramatic movie douche bag. I thought Simon Peggs character was pretty likable.

He was a bit of a yuppie, but his only real flaw was being too perfect, and maybe a slight overcompetitive streak.

As for Pegg, I don't like a guy that leaves the fiancée that (he knocked up) at the altar because he's having issues accepting his place in life, only to react with possessiveness and jealousy when she not only moves on, but moves on to a guy who was a thousand times better than he was.

Then again, Azaria's character can do better anyways.  He was the soul of patience, putting up with what Newton let her bastard kid get away with.  And then when he finally attempts to correct the little fucker's behavior, she cops an attitude, like how dare he attempt to insist that her child act like a human, rather than the intolerable monster that he is.  Newton's character is like so many mothers out there for whom any criticism of her child is internalized into an attack on herself.

The only time that Pegg was likeable while Azaria was not was during the Marathon itself.

She's playing a tv reporter who wants "teh story(tm)", so it's pretty much in character.

I watched the first season of Huff (starring the aforementioned Azaria and a personal favourite of mine, Oliver Platt), and I liked it a lot. Then I watched season two and realised they did humanity a great service by closing the show down.

Yes, what Pegg did to Newton was fucked up but I think it was a very human emotion. Hank Azaria was too cocky and that was really annoying. And his way of disciplining a kid was not cool. Yeah, the kid was being a little shit but you don't call them that.  Newton should have stepped in and said something. I think that that was the only point where the kid was really doing anything bad.

Oh, and his attitude about the boat was ridiculous. It was like that point in the movie was when Azaria's character started becoming an unbelievable asshole.

Monkeybutt's childhood raped again, left naked and pantyless in bathroom stall.

On the plus side, it's got Qui-Gon Jinn versus Amon Goethe.

LOS ANGELES - Liam Neeson is set to begin work on his first film since the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson.

Neeson will play Zeus, king of the gods, in a remake of "Clash of the Titans" opposite Ralph Fiennes as Hades, ruler of the underworld. Louis Leterrier ("Transporter 2," last year's "The Incredible Hulk") will direct the film, which is scheduled to begin production in the United Kingdom later this month, Warner Bros. said Thursday.

Longtime friends Neeson and Fiennes haven't shared the screen since 1993's " Schindler's List." Also among the cast are "Casino Royale" villain Mads Mikkelsen, Sam Worthington of the upcoming "Terminator Salvation" and Alexa Davalos ( "Defiance").

The original "Clash of the Titans" from 1981 starred Laurence Olivier as Zeus.

This marks the first project for Neeson, 56, since Richardson's death in a skiing accident. The 45-year-old actress died March 18 after falling and hitting her head during a lesson at Quebec's Mont Tremblant two days earlier. He had signed on to star in the movie before her death.

Neeson's most recent movie, the kidnapping thriller "Taken," became a surprise hit with nearly $140 million at the domestic box office earlier this year. He just finished work on the Atom Egoyan film "Chloe," which he was in the middle of shooting when his wife died.

Clash of the Titans was awesome.

I'm getting annoyed now by Sorrywood.

Charade

Wonderful crime comedy with Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Walter Matthau, James Coburn, George Kennedy.

8.5 romantic boat rides on the Seine out of 10.

[Admiral Yi]

Leatherheads.  George Clooney plays a pro football player in 1925.  He hires a Princeton phenom to save his collapsing league, love triangle ensues with plucky gal reporter Renee Zellwegger, who is investigating the phenom's fishy WWI heroism story.  The skinny Zellwegger showed up but her face has gotten very strange looking.

It's worth an evening on cable, nothing more.  Believe it went straight to DVD.

When you're perfect, you're perfect.  In a younger, less accomplished man, you might call it cockiness.  Given his age and success, you'd have to call it self-assurance.

And his way of disciplining a kid was not cool. Yeah, the kid was being a little shit but you don't call them that.  Newton should have stepped in and said something.

Azaria had been being nice, showing a natural recalcitrance to discipline a kid that isn't his own.  Still, a man could only take so much.  I see the whole thing as more of a strike against Newton than Azaria.

Oh, and his attitude about the boat was ridiculous. It was like that point in the movie was when Azaria's character started becoming an unbelievable asshole.

That's true.  It's an odd scene, because it doesn't quite jive with the rest of his portrayal.

Observe and Report.  Rather dark.  Not what I thought it would be, but not a bad film.  Not quite sure how I'd rate it, but I'm leaning positive.

[Grey Fox]

Step Brothers.

Fucked up movie. I should have smoked some pot before watching it.

Yeah Rogen was saying it was pretty dark.
