Win Win vs Source Code...

207.200.116.71

...last weekend my wife wanted to see Win Win, but I convinced her to see Source Code instead.

This weekend being Mother's Day, I took her to see Win Win.

Which is the better film?

Source Code, starring Jake Gyllenhall is a sci-fi action/love filmn where he has to keep going back for 8 minutes to find a train bomber while falling in love with Michelle Moynihan.

There is a lot of action, suspense and explosions. The ending is a conundrum which challenges you to think about space. time and alternative dimensions.

I'd give it a C+.

Win Win stars Paul Giamatti playing the usual schlub as a an attorney/family man with questionable ethics coaching a high schol wrestling team. Along comes a new kid who was a champion wrestler and many complications ensue.

I'd give it a B-.

So Win Win is the better film and my wife was right.

But don't tell her I said so.

Happy Mother's Day.

  ...perhaps I'll have an opportunity to see "Source Code" again.
  
  Usually I don't watch very many films a second time.
  
  There are just too many new ones to keep up with and too little time.
  - I LOVE to see again the films I love. I guess that's why I own so many... - jeffreybehr 14:25:13 05/10/11 (0)
    ...while my friends rent/stream them.
    
    And from one perspective, there may well be too many films to see to repeat any, but there sure aren't too many new releases worthy of MY time.
    
    I hope you'll see 'Source Code' again soon. I think it's EXCELLENTLY put together; maybe that's why I love it so.
