I found it dreadfully boring and didn't even watch it to the end. Even though I usually enjoy Leo's performances.

River Friend of Mine recommended a book I could not put down entitled , "The Long Road Home!" , a non fiction book based on an escape from a Siberian Prison in 1940. No sex and no violence , just a thrilling adventure! I have not watched but just ordered a film made based on the book , and it is entitled , The Long Way Back! Here is a trailer for the film http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jlgenq_Ca0
River trust me you will not be bored!, plus it clearly illustrates one of life's greatest tenets, Never , Ever , Ever give up!

P7 thankyou. I'm sure I will enjoy it. I'm a huge armchair mountain climbing enthusiast and also love the vast hard untamed wilderness experience. My last big trip was following in Shackleton's footsteps on a Russian ice breaker in the Antarctic. Even visited his grave on South Georgia Island while chasing away the gigantic seals with loud clapping and shouting! Can't wait to download it to my Kindle. Thanks!

My wife and I went to Alabama to visit my parents for our first Christmas together. When discussing movies to watch, it came down to Grudge Match or Wolf of Wall Street. My mother (who just saw the previews and had no idea of the content) said that Wolf looked like a good one. I think she was more interested in watching Leo than following the plot. Grudge Match admittedly looked like a loser from the previews, but my wife and I wanted to stick with simple.

It's Christmas day and the theater seats are packed... what else is there to do in a college town on Christmas? We settle in and the opening scene(s) make my conservative father's stomach turn while my wife is sinking in her seat. My sweet happy go lucky mother is munching on popcorn and seemingly oblivious to the debauchery that my father is steaming over. 10 minutes in, and my dad is red. He leans over and exclaims his rhetoric, "Are we seriously watching this on CHRISTMAS!?!?" He said he peace, my mom munched, my wife's embarrassment was adorable and all I could do was try to spin a positive message for when we walked out... I didn't have one. It's a Christmas story that we will have for a while.

Grudge Match came on pay per view the other day. Mrs. Peanuts loved it. It's based in Pittsburgh, from where her family and my family originate. It would have been a perfect, no-risk movie to enjoy on Christmas Day. My mom would have not liked it.

I will most likely watch Grudge Match on my next flight that has direct TV.
