Cheryl and I watched Brokeback Mountain this weekend (in two installments, as it was 2 hours 15 minutes long).I felt the cinematography was fantastic, and it would have looked really great on the big screen. The story was pretty good too, although I had a constant feeling of dread leading up to the end - dread of the "this cannot possibly end well" variety. The ending, however, was not what I had been expecting.
I thought the actors did a fine job as well. Complaints were that it seemed to drag in a couple of spots, and Cheryl thought that the actors did just an ok job with the aging process. She did admit that trying to play the same character over a 20-year span is difficult.
Overall, two thumbs up. Cheryl said, "Not a 5-star film, but a solid 4-star film."

Oh, and in the ironic and humorous advertisement department, this arrived in our blue Valupack this week:
