Fun Aussie movie 'Danny Deckchair'

As guys, we know that we will be subjected to the formidable monster known as "ChickFlics" every so often.

That said, I was pleasantly surprised this weekend when I had to choose one. I couldn't fall back on my 'guarantee's' like the Princess Bride or Punch Drunk Love. Damnit, she'd seen both. (I know the PB is basically a given) So, I found Danny Deckchair on the shelf, and was kinda intrigued by the story and the fact it was Australian.

She agreed to it (Huzzah! no 'Save the Last Dance' for me!) Both of us really liked it. I was enamored with Miranda Otto, known to us geeks as Eowyn, and I didn't believe it when I found out she's 37! Dang, that's looking fine for nearing 40.

Anyway, cool flick if you need a tolerable date movie.

Also look for Miranda Otto in What Lies Beneath.

If she gets sexy in it, I may suffer through the rest of the movie.

She does not. However, her husband is played by James Remar who we all know played the part of gruff homophobe Ajax in The Warriors. That made it worth watching for me.

Sorry, I would be looking for chicks naked, not dudes.
