Roberts or ‘Restrepo’? It’s your choice

I can’t remember the last time two movies opened in Spokane that symbolized such a range of gender-specific tastes. I’ve heard several women talk about nothing but “Eat, Pray, Love,” the Julia Roberts vehicle that was adapted from Elizabeth Gilbert’ s best-selling book.

On the other hand, we have “The Expendables,” another one of those ensemble-cast blockbuster boys’ movies that stars a bunch of tough guys (everyone from Sylvester Stallone to Bruce Willis and Jason Statham) on a mission impossible.

My choice, though, is “Restrepo,” the documentary about the war in Afghanistan by Tim Hetherington and best-selling author Sebastian Junger (“The Perfect Storm,” “War”).
