Worth seeing. Since becoming the proud owners of a big-screen TV, we seldom go to the theater anymore either – so much nicer to watch them at home now, without the five year-old kicking the back of my seat until I’m sorely tempted to turn around and launch into his insufficiently-parental units for letting the little monster out in public without a leash, a muzzle and hobbles. Still, this one rated the big screen experience, and we weren’t disappointed. It’s not literature – by a long margin – but then, I can appreciate a special effects film for its own merits. If I want literature I’ll pick up a book.

BTW – “By Permission of Heaven” – nonfiction, about the Great Fire of London. Pick it up if you can. I’m only three chapters in, but it’s a good read, if a little dense and disorganized in places.

Well, I usually avoid films in theaters anymore (finding well-behaving patrons is part of the issue), but I might–might–see this one in a cool, dark place formerly known as a “movie theatre” on the strength of this review.

Shia LeBeouf? Surprisingly, the name was vaguely familiar, and then I checked uip on my memory and I was right: Holes. One of the few “kids” movies of the kinds I end up watching with my Wonder Woman (for her it’s work related) that I have been tempted to watch more than once. None of the Harry Potter movies have rated that sort of response from me. (And yeh, as a “filtering reviewer” for my children’s librarian wife, I have read *shudder* all of the formulaic sludge that written by Rowling and seen the–often better than the books–movies, as well. Once, each. Period. :-))

Transformers. Hmmm. May catch. Will wait for a very hot day when avoiding yardwork is imperative, though. :-)

Even though it says No-Spoiler, I had to stop reading after “it rocked”. I’m going to see it this evening, and I expect this film to be ten thousand pounds of awesome.
