Finished off Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way. While I enjoyed Chins more, this one was certainly enjoyable. And honestly the only reason Chins was better was because it was non-fiction. While I'm sure a lot of Make Love is pretty close to reality, it still falls into the realm of story. And where Bruce is concerned, truth is certainly stranger than fiction.
The Eye is an excellent horror film. It's not really a scary movie - there are a couple jump moments, but overall it's more horrific than anything. (Hence the emphasis earlier.) And apparently several of the events in the movie are based on things that actually happened. This one gets a complete recommendation. It was pretty well paced (note - I'm not saying it moves along at a fast pace - it's well paced, they take the time to progress the story in a way that makes sense and allows us to get involved with what's happening) and there are some nice cinematographic touches. The Pang brothers are directors to keep an Eye on. Ha Ha!
Hitch manages to remain interesting in spite of the formula it adheres pretty strictly to. It's pretty typical for a romantic comedy, so there aren't really any surprises, but the cast and the story are fun, so you don't really mind. There are certainly worse ways to kill time.
And I spent far too much time at work today. But that's neither here nor there.
