It seems like old times

The last time I went to a movie theater and watched a movie Kevin made the choice. 101 Dalmatians. Surprise! Some time ago. Before that...Aladdin! Once upon a time it was more frequent, but it kind of went by the boards somewhere along the lines.

So yesterday I busted out and returned to the big screen again. Change #1, disregarding cost factors, 3D works much better now. Change #2, George Clooney is a much better actor than Keanu Reeves. #3??, Sandra Bullock should never do any more Miss Congeniality movies. She has payed her dues, learned her craft, earned her chops, whatever. She can act. Any forthcoming nominations will be earned and deserved. I read with pleasure the reviews...after I saw the movie. Looks like the professionals agree with me. 

When is a "space movie" not sci-fi? When it's about the struggles and the spirit of two individuals. The special affects were phenomenal, but the story line was still the central issue. Everything meshed and added up to a sum greater than the parts. Yes, I liked it.

This was another fortunate, but ironic casting. Others had their chance and didn't take the part. She did and lived up to it. 

Maybe I won't wait so long between movies this time!
