Due Date - The other night I wanted a movie, and On Demand had Due Date with Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianikis. Gotta see that, right? Zach is really funny, and RDJ is usually good. It's in the Trains Planes and Automobiles genre where two strangers are thrown together and have to get across the country, but can't take a plane for whatever reason. I just told you the whole movie, but it seems to move as slowly as it would take to make the actual trip. Zach is funny, but he's never been as good as he was in the original Hangover, although he came close the other night on the season finale of Bored to Death. Robert Downey Jr. needs to play that character that he played on Ally McBeal, which for me was his best role, although even that didn't last when it turned out that he was only teasing Ally because he had a secret wife stashed away somewhere. (Or was it a child and an ex-wife - whatever.....the tension would have built more satisfyingly if they'd just stuck to a formula on that one). To be fair, though, in this movie, RDJ starts out as so so intense, and really relaxes once Zach gets the car all heated up so that his dog can get high on the drive. That's actually the funniest scene, and almost worth the movie. Well, not worth paying for, but worth watching for free on HBO this month. Tomorrow night is the Sip & Shop, and I'm in the final throws of getting ready. I've got even more new jewelry, a few pieces of which I'll put on Jewelry by Dianne Sophia right now......
