[QUOTE="Quasqueton, post: 2890733, member: 3854"] I'm not one for chick-flicks, but my wife wanted to see The Notebook. She had read the book, and had heard that the movie was good. I stopped by Blockbuster to rent it, and the clerk mentioned that it was good. I said I was having to watch a chick-flick for my wife. He said, "Yeah, it's a romance, but it's really good." He was right. It is a really good movie. For those who have derided me for giving up on a movie before finishing it, I offer this up as evidence. The first hour is not my style -- "silly romance" :-) -- but it wasn't boring or repulsively stupid (as have been my complaints about other movies recently). It managed to keep my attention (or maybe it was my wife snuggled up to me on the sofa :-) through the beginning, and I must say, I really liked the overall premise and ending. Quite a good movie. Rent it and watch it with your significant other -- will give good feelings. Quasqueton [/QUOTE]
