A bad weekend for the ol' resolutions. Had too much to drink and spent too much money on Saturday which led to me laying around in pain on Sunday and watching some bad movies. The new bad movie I watched was "17 Again" with Zac Efron which was pretty lame. There was some nice looking high school girls in it, including Michelle Trachtenberg who was crush-worthy in the flick, but all-in-all, the movie was just pretty lame. Granted, that's to be expected since it's a remake of a lame 80's movie but you'd like to think that people would try to elevate the films they redo rather than just make a different version of the same disposable entertainment.

On the bright side, I did remember my resolution to watch better films so I did end up watching "In the Loop", a British political comedy. It wasn't what I expected. From the rave reviews, I expected more of a high-minded comedy but a lot of the humor came from people swearing at one another and calling each other names. Still, the film was pretty funny and the end was even a bit poignant. I'd recommend the film but go in with lower expectations; the rave reviews it got made me expect too much but it's a good movie.
