Massi and I saw Atonement last night and it was lovely, so very lovely... I mean, it's hard to not be lovely with James McAvoy and Keira Knightly, but it was technically beautiful as well with flawless cinematography and sound and it was very true to the book. I read the book about 5 years ago, so it's not the freshest in mind, but the only discrepancy I picked out was that the end, when Briony reveals her writing process, was somewhat condensed in the movie.
Cesar and I also saw Charlie Wilson's War Saturday, which was quite entertaining and well played as well, but may be most entertaining to a "Washington Insider" (i.e.: all the jabs at Congress and the CIA cracked me up throughout.) Aaron Sorkin's touch was evident and brought back some West Wing nostalgia and Philip Seymour Hoffman was a trip, so don't rule it out just because you're not a big fan of the Hanks/Roberts marquee names.
