I saw Open Range and it was really enjoyable. Someone else rented it and I was really reluctant to sit down and watch this but they paid the money so I watched it. I said, "why did you rent that movie?" "Western movie with Kevin Costner? It looks and sounds boring." Anyway it took me a while, but I made myself watch it and was very pleasantly suprised.

"The Gods Must Be Crazy, I and II" is now available from Amazon on DVD. Check out the customer reviews. Enough said.
For those who like slightly bent indie music, "Popeye" is now on DVD. I'm no longer much of a Robin Williams fan, but this is a lot of fun for me. I love the music. Not for all tastes, though.
If you are wondering about "Miracle" check out the current issue of Sports Illustrated.

I disliked "Open Range" and decided that it was not well directed by its star. The gun fight was OK, but the rest of it dragged on and on. The Ring trilogy was excellent, "Master and Commander" was non-stop boring. The only movie that was not the usual Hollywood garbage recently is "The Big Fish." It was enjoyable.
"There are lots of people with garbage cans for souls in Hollywood" is exactly right. I have known many such souls, but most are now in the dump, burning away.

If you watch the extras on the "Second Hand Lions" DVD, they mention how Hollywood tried to destroy the idea for the movie.
One suggestion: Hub and Garth were actually Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The director and screenwriter had to tell them this happens in the 1960's and do the math.

We plan to see "Miracle," opening this week. It has received several excellent reviews.We are going to see it as well, I've been surprised at all of the reviews.
I just picked up the movie Russian Ark on DVD. If you want to see a cameraman almost have a complete mental and physical breakdown, this is the movie. It's a tour of the Hermitage, and how it has changed/looked over the past 300 years or so. It's interesting/beautiful, you follow this person around and as he goes in and out of rooms, the eras change.
I won't give away what makes it amazing (I may have already though).

Four of my most favorite movies: The Princess Bride, The Flight of the Navigator, Mr. Mom, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Oh, and The Burbs was great, too.

I MUST see MiracleMe, too!! We can't go tonight, but we are going to go tomorrow afternoon, before the young all-stars game and the skills competition.
The commercial gets me every time. When I hear him yell, "My name is Mike Eruzione and I play for the United States of America!" I well up everytime. I'm going to make sure I have lots of tissue on hand. LOL!!!
