So somehow going to see "Body of Lies," became going to see "Eagle Eye," then "Religilous," and then finally "The Duchess," staring Keira Knightley(Pirates of the Caribbean) and Ralph Fiennes(Schindler's List).

It's a historically drama based drama about the Duchess of Devonshire in the 18th century. It begins with how she got married to the Duke, who lets just say is a real ass, and how even though it was a completely unfair and xxxxty arrangement(major understatement), she learns to deal with the cards she's been dealt. However the film has it's funny moments some b/c of jokes, others b/c of ironic scenes that may only seem funny if the audience is in the right mood. I don't know if i'd ever watch this again, maybe if it's on tv, but it's pretty decent film and i'd give it a 7/10.

Should have seen Body of Lies, but at least you didn't watch Quarantine.

lol, we missed body of lies and eagle eye, and had to go to another theater, the Angelika, which shows some mainstream movies, but generally independent and foreign, lo and behold, there was no body of lies or eagle eye their, so it was between Religulous and the Duchess, and the rest of the group didn't want to see a documentary type film. I'm glad i saw your thread on though, b/c at the first theater they had a poster for Quarantine, and i thought it looked interesting, but now i know better :)
