Instead of watching the State of the Union I chose instead to watch "Two For The Money". That movie got a 20% Rotten Tomatoes score, so I wasn't expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. What I found really interesting was how the movie was spun in the advertising. It's really a character story about two men, one struggling with his own ambitions and insecurity, and another struggling with his addiction. It's a complex film with no clear bad guys or wins and losses. And I think that might have thrown some people off since the trailers painted it as yet another tough guy sports movie.
Last night on Lori's recommendation I went to see The Matador and it was also a character development driven film. Though in this case I found the central character, played by Pierce Brosnan, to be a little less convincing. Though given the script that could have just been a good acting job on his part. I'm not too worried about the success of this film, it has a 80% Rottent Tomatoes score and is doing really well for an art house movie.
