I didn’t want to see this movie.  The hype and controversy made me put this on the list of a movies I refused to see.  Then Ray decided to put it on our list for COL Movies anyway.  I hate you, Fuzz.  In anycase, I got the movie and watched it.

Zzzzzzzz.  That’s how I was through most of this movie.  I’m glad I had a project up cleaning up my iTunes library while this was playing.  I really have no idea on what all the fuss was about this film.  The plot idea was interesting but the execution was flat.  It was just boring.  Technically, this film is great.  The acting was flat to me.  I don’t know if it’s the direction or the actual acting or what but it just didn’t entice me to watch.  The movie wasn’t bad really, it was just drawn out and boring.  I cannot recommend people see this movie, nor can I recommend to NOT see this movie.  Take the movie as you will.  I just don’t care for Brokeback Mountain.

3 Stars as I didn’t like it, but didn’t hate it.
