I don`t know. If they made her look like two red "x"s I`d say they did a helluva good makeup job.

Wah
Like this?
Makeup or not I wouldn`t throw a rock at her.

I wasn't being mean...just telling what she says on interview shows.
"Growing up in a mobile home in the Pacific Northwest, Hilary Swank unwittingly found herself placed in her first role: trailer trash. "My friends' parents didn't want me playing with their kids, and I didn't understand it, because I didn't think of where I lived as being that big of a deal. I had a roof over my head," Swank said last week as she bit into a cucumber finger sandwich at Santa Monica's Tudor House tea room, a world away from her modest childhood home. "But their parents would say, 'You need to go home now.' At 7 years old, I learned what classism was, growing up poor."
Like when Dolly says she admired the town hooker when she was growing up and thought she was the prettiest thing ever and wanted to dress like her.

Thanks for the heads up--I was thinking about going to see it this weekend.
I do want to see "The Fighter" and "You Know It"--if I have to choose one it would be "The Fighter".

Wah
Word is it`s much more faithful to the book.
Watched Restrepo last night, excellent documentary on US combat operations in the Korengal valley in Afghanistan. It's all live footage and one on one interviews, so if you want to know what daily life is like for the guys over there doing the fighting, it's a must see.

My son and I watched "The Fighter" on Christmas Day. Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale and Amy Adams all give strong performances in a movie based on the real life story of Mickey Ward. Add this one to your Netflix.
I went to see "True Grit" today. Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin all give solid performances. This one could have used subtitles as some of the dialogue was hard to hear, especially from Bridges. The real star is Hailee Steinfeld who plays Mattie Ross, who may be 14 yrs old but has the maturity of a 24 yr old, who pursues the man who killed her father. Add this one to your Netflix as well.
Neither of these movies is a must see.

A little trivia sidenote, of the 2 film makers of Restrepo, Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington, Junger wrote the book "The Perfect Storm" which was made into a feature film of the same title. Hetherington's work as journalist in exposing civil conditions in Africa, Liberia and Charles Taylor for example are in themselves very noteworthy. Taylor placed execution order on Hetherington for his work in exposing brutality.
Restropo was also a big award winner at Sundance. Thanks for the heads up on making this a must see!
Resident Evil: Afterlife
4th in the series, probably the least best. The beginning is just too impossible....., and the rest is your typical zombie movie.
Of course, it's still a good zombie movie....!

Good movie, but I didn't like the ending.
Don't watch it if you like to see George Clooneys smile...

We saw Gulliver's Travels on Christmas day, and Tangled, this evening. Gulliver was typical Jack Black. Tangled had a great story and the animation was superb.

Wah
It is dreamy isn`t it?
