Bedtime Story: 1/5. Quite possibly the worst sandler movie ever. 5/5 on the "who buys these movies" scale. Slow, cheesy and predictable. I laughed maybe once in the first hour, and maybe five times the whole movie.
I wanted to see valkrye, but my sis vetoed it. My second choice was tale of despereaux, but my bro-in-laws vetoed it! :(
Valkyrie: Thought it was a little slow and lacked some depth. The names come at you pretty fast so it's sometimes confusing, but you get the gist of what's going on and it's easy to tell when something important is going down. Definitely gets you thinking about what you would think you would do in the situation. Also, they don't really emphasize this in the movie, but it reminds us that real evil exists in the world. I think sometimes we forget that. Actually, here's a wikimendation for Operation Valkyrie. From there wikijourney to the holocaust, eugenics, human experimentation, etc.. Anyways, I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars (of David).
And you didn't mention the magic duel between Merlin and Benjamin! Of course Merlin won because he's an actual magician and because he's already seen the the future.
I didn't know they used the word pogrom in Valkyrie!! SPOILER!!!!
