I take in wonderful movie film.........

Whilst my bride attended my sister-in-law's baby shower in Durham, I had the dubious pleasure of attending a movie film by myself.  While this sounds awfully lonely, it wasn't half bad - it is kind of nice to be without the talkative child.  As I contemplated my fate, nothing seemed to catch my fancy - there was 10,000 BC, but it started earlier.  There was Stop-Loss, but I was really not in the mood for another Hollywood political statement movie - so I settled on Horton.  Turns out, I made the right choice and yet was dragged into political comparisons nonetheless.  The film took some creative liberties with Dr. Seuss's classic (I was raised on his books), but was watchable and had plenty of Jim Carry and Steve Carrel's personalities despite the obvious animation problem.  Carol Burnett leant her voice to the role of the domineering kangaroo and reminded me, in the end, of a a much better looking Hillary Clinton.  In the climactic scene she raises a ruckus around an issue she clearly does not understand and sways public opinion her own way with senseless emotion until her offspring finally awakens from the stupor and brings order.  Not that I have that much faith in Chelsea, but....... just watch it and remember what I said.

On the whole - I can say that I recommend this film for all to see as it is wholesome and yet clever and entertaining.  Those comments don't seem to go together nowadays when discussing film even though Stephen Baldwin promises that, one day, Christians will make films that are not worthless piles of rubbish.  The wait continues, Mr. Baldwin.
