and I thought it was a movie about tires

first read about "a good year" late last year. thought at first it was a movie about tires. hehehe. then i heard it starred my favorite gladiator, russell crowe. finally saw the movie on dvd. was pleasantly surprised to learn it was the male version of "under the tuscan sun". although the diane lane flick was much much better (am i right, ladies?). but i generally liked the movie since russell crowe tried to be funny in it. he was still scary in some scenes -- showing a slight beer gut and all. i especially adored the scene where he fell in the waterless pool and he was doing everything to get to his cellphone which he dropped at the top edge of the pool. had a flashback of an old news item about crowe throwing his cellphone at a hotel clerk. i hope he had a hard time doing that scene. take that, you hotheaded man!
still, the movie was still worth one bowl of popcorn... if i had one at that time.

I think that real-life throwing-the-phone-at-the-hotel incident deserves 5 popcorns. And wasn't it a REAL phone? Not a cell phone?
