Friends from out of town visited and had a great dinner and then it was off to the movies. Well, I did want to see it and lo and behold, so did my friends. Knowing was the film of choice and it was sold out, so we sat in the first row. I love movies, anyway, so I did not complain. Critics love to complain about Hollywood actors and the choices of films they choose to take. Nicholas Cage is probably one of them; all I hear is bad things about his last film, Ghost Rider or something like that. The ads for his current film show a piece of paper with numbers that apparently predict major world disasters- from airplane crashes to natural disasters. Don't want to give too much away, but the poster is definitely a spoiler, and as the film progresses, some strange and creepy people stalk his son. Regardless, it is a great film in the special effects department. And if you like science fiction, you will enjoy the story. But then again, that's what movies are for...storytelling. And let's face it, we all like a story, good or bad. And we sometimes base our film choices on the poster, the trailers, or word of mouth. I liked this film, will word of mouth it in the positive, and maybe in a future posting, discuss the final moments. In fact, those final moments "bothered" me and put me into a serious pensive mood. Where would I want to ...
"In one of the many, countless galaxies in the universe lies a medium sized star. And one of its satellites, a green and insignificant planet..."
