I liked 127 Hours a little morei think - but, I honestly can't stand either James Franco or Mark Wahlberg. Franco impressed me in this one, but normally I agree with other posters that he comes off as the lazy, stoned type (which can be endeering, as long as its not your only persona). The Fighter was decent, but the plot is nothing special and Marky Mark can't act his way out of a brown paper bag... Bale was great though, as was the female supporting cast. Both flicks definitely worth seeing. Also saw Winter's Bone recently, and enjoyed that very much.
