Oh, I saw a couple of movies (on-demand) this weekend. Funny, these are what I would call "chick flicks", but given our situations these were a bit more poignant than usual.
One was The Painted Veil with Naomi Watts and Edward Norton. This was a period piece from the 1920's set in China. Two English people marry and move to China and the wife has an affair with another man. The rest of the movie is the interplay between the husband and wife under difficult circumstances. The most memorable line came from Norton's character when the wife (Watts) inquired whether the husband was disgusted with her. He replies, "No, I am disgusted with myself for having ever fallen in love with you."
The other movie was Premonition with Sandra Bullock. This one was a little disjointed due to the way the lead character come to experience the unfolding of the events in her life. It revolves around the affair her husband is about to commit or has committed (depending on the time frame). It was pretty good, but a little too predictable for me.
Confession: I always have liked Sandra Bullock if only for the reason that when she started to gain fame in the early '90's, I noted how she and W somewhat favored each other in looks. It was only a passing resemblance, but even my family and friends remarked about it later. (I promise not to hold it against Sandra in the future. )
