    Will Netflix even get this? I ask, because I've recently started borrowing a Netflix account from my brother-in-the-law and the movie selection is absolutely dreadful and pretty much non-existent when it comes to recent films. I don't get how anybody could use it as a vehicle for watching movies.

    EDIT: just realized...maybe you're talking about their DVD service...if so, just ignore me. :)

    It sounds a lot like Flags of our Fathers.

    Also I agree with you opinion on Kristen Stewart. I don't understand why she get's any roles. Her acting is terrible and while easy on the eyes I don't think particularly good looking compared to many other actresses around her age.

    His movies look so Hallmark-y and bland. How can this not put you to sleep?

    I loved the book but not feeling Ang Lee as the director. The book was extremely funny and Also very critical of patriotism (or at least how patriotism manifests at halftime celebrations). I expect that Steve Martin plays the football team owner, in which case he'll be on the receiving end of one of the funniest lines I've ever had the pleasure of reading in a book.
