What a complete disappointment. The ONLY good thing about international flights is the possibility to watch lots and lots of movies for free (and edited!). I just finished leg one of an international flight and the movie options were all TERRIBLE:
Bride Wars (anyone for 90 minutes of women turning into sterotypical #@%es?)
Inkheart (who names the main character Mo "Silvertongue" Folchart?)
The Reader (how depressing can one movie possibly be?)
New in Town (everything funny was in the preview)
Coraline (creepy creepy animation and you can't convince me otherwise)
I did watch New in Town, but not even Harry Connick, Jr. could save it. What a waste of a flight - I actually had to try and sleep.
Here's to hoping for something decent on the way home.

I'm going to have to defend Inkheart here. Not necessarily the movie, because I haven't seen it, but judging it because of a character's name? Hmm... I think you're stretching it on that one. :) You should have given it a chance b/c the books are pretty great, despite weird names (the writer is German so, you know, names are different there or something. I don't know).
You're right about Bride Wars - ninety minutes of catty fights. I'd like to see Coraline, but I can see how you wouldn't. As for the others - I'm just pretty indifferent.
Inkheart was pretty good. Of course my movie standards have lowered with each child. I'm currently at the "so exceedingly, incredibly happy to be out of the house I'd even watch paint dry" level.
Does this mean you will have enough frequent flyer miles to come for a visit?
See, whenever I'm on flights like that the high altitude or lack of sleep always make me totally love movies, rave about them to friends, and then later realize that I was just temporarily insane. I wish I could pass that blessing on to you, then you would be on here talking about how adorable the weird claymation of "Coraline" is.
What is the point of BUSINESS CLASS if you can't drink the wine and there are no good movies?
That's a pretty sad movie selection. Of course, I'd probably still watch them, especially if the alternative was conversation with an odd man who kept trying to feed me (happened on a flight last year, perhaps he mistook me for a zoo exhibit).
