Speaking of movies
Haven't seen a stinker like this in a while: Duplicity with Clive Owen and Julia Roberts.
*** NOTHIN BUT SPOILERS ***
It amazes me when this much money is spent on stars and production value when the script has such an obvious flaw.
The premise is Owen and Roberts are super-spies who fall in love after she rolls him on an assignment, so they become corporate spies who are double-agents for each other so they can retire to a life of luxury and no more secrecy someday. You sit through over two hours of plot twists to arrive at an ending where they LOSE - one of the corporate heads had figured them out along the way and so set up a sting.
But it happens in such an anticlimactic way that when the credits rolled, I was still waiting for the real ending.
Avoid this one even on cable, if you're trapped in a bed, ill, without a remote and have to call a neighbor to change the channel just to avoid this turkey.
