"Syriana"

My husband and I went and saw "Syriana" Saturday night. I was underwhelmed. Maybe it was a little bit that I only had 6 hours of sleep Friday night (I'm a 8-10 kind of girl) but I actually fell asleep sort of at the middle end. However, I'm pretty sure that if the movie had been engaging I would not have napped. My husband's comment was the story could have been told in a lot less time. One review I read said you came out of it confused but even though I missed some crucial bits (and it really was told in different "bits" rather like a book of short stories that are all connected) it still made sense, though I had to ask Denny a few questions. In summary:I did not care for the movie and wouldn't recommend that anyone pay the $8-12 it costs to see it in the theater. Also, I can state with certainty that George Clooney looks much much much better without the beard.
