Hidalgo is indeed out on DVD; we viewed it last night and a fine time was had by all. Except by the cats, who apparently don't do horse stories.
Up tonight -- or this afternoon, if I'm feeling Exceptionally Lazy -- is Hellboy.
Tomorrow night, we're going to see Tom Russell at the Unity Performing Arts Centre, after which I shall consider myself Well and Truly Spoiled and go back to work.
Today, I've got nothing more strenuous on the schedule than catching up email and cleaning the Debris of Revision out of the office so I can start accumulating the proper Writing A Book Mess.
Writing A Book Mess... [looking to left and right....painful laugh] Righto.
Hellboy was tons of fun. (I got to see that because my boy wanted to see it...I generally only get to the cinema if he's hot to see something. For example, the last movie I saw was Harold and Kumar in Search of White Castle. You can imagine who was agitating to see that, so much that he burned through the deflective load of chores I'd imposed, in order to earn it.)
Hellboy was tons of fun -- yes! This is what a comic-book movie can and should be -- are you listening, producers of LoXG? It has bad guys, it has good guys, it has conflicted guys, it has monsters, and cats, but most importantly, it has heart.
Ahem.
I generally only get to the cinema if he's hot to see something.
We usually wait for the DVD because the closest movie theater is an eighty mile round trip, and I've gotta be Really Convinced that the movie on the other end of the drive is going to be worth the gasoline.
There is an "arts" cinema in town that has given one of its rooms over to screening so-called "popular" films; we saw the third Harry Potter there. However, the cinema situation is soon to improve. Flagship is building an eight-screen theater within a twelve-mile round trip (right across the street, in fact, from the ustabe movie that went south a couple years ago and is now a church).
Harold and Kumar in Search of White Castle
Never heard of it. I'm guessing a Cheech and Chong ripoff, though.
My longing gaze is set on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, which would involve that long drive, the Flagship being little more than a girder'd outline at the moment. Maybe for my birthday...
I can recommend Spider Man 2. I didn't want to go, because Spider Man always has so much angst, and NEVER gets a break. But friends who had seen it thought I would think that this one was well done and not so angst ridden (except with reason.) They were right--not sure I'd want to go farther, but they did a good job with it.
Superheroes for the common man...Spidey and Hellboy. Also looking forward to sky captain. Here's hoping it's good. And, of course, LOTR: ROTK in extended version approacheth....
