I've gotta check out A Mighty Wind. My wife added Turner & Hooch. She loves her Tom Hanks flicks.

Yes, you do need to check out A Mighty Wind. Incredibly funny. Eugene Levy's performance was on par with Johnny Depp's in POTC. Since your wife loves her Tom Hanks flicks, I take it you'll be seeing The Ladykillers?

Neither of us are sure what to make of Ladykillers. This looks a bit weird for her taste and I'm on again/off again with the Coen Brothers. May wait until video for that one.

I'll tell you right now: see the original first, with Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers and Herbert Lom. Funny, funny movie.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Didn't know there was an original. Peter "Pink Panther" Sellers? If so, I'm there.

Guinness is funnier; he plays the role Hanks assumes in the remake.

Sweet. I will have to check that out.

By the way, saw Duplex and School of Rock yesterday while I was home sick. Duplex was God awful. Stay the hell away. School of Rock was decent at best. Dunno if it deserved all the hype it received. Acting was cheesy and so was the plot. Some of it was enjoyable, but I wanted to smack Jack Black upside his head half the time and I know that in this post-9/11 era with school security the way it is, Black never would have made it in the door without three forms of legit ID and his teaching certificate. Hard to suspend my disbelief there.

School of Rock is probably best viewed with low expectations; the same is true of Starsky & Hutch. I admired SOR's ability to make a movie about music and kids without being manipulative or schmaltzy. As for Starsky & Hutch, remember the following things in order to have a good time:
1. It's a prequel (origin of the partnership)
2. It's Stiller and Wilson, so expect Stiller and Wilson-type schtick
3. It's from the director of Road Trip and Old School; while not nearly as potty-humour oriented as those two, it's very similar in tone
4. It's not consistently laugh-out-loud funny, but it will have you grinning from ear to ear a lot of the time

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I was planning on hitting Starsky & Hutch with low expectations since it's a movie I'm only seeing because my wife wants to see it. Schmaltzy comedy is hit or miss with me. Some I love, some I hate. I think I pumped up my expectations for SOR too high because of all the "great" press it received and what I heard from people I work with and people here on this forum (made several top 10 of 2003 lists, as I recall). Falsely high hopes can kill a movie. Prime example... TPM.
