…don’t walk to your local cinema! (Sorry – couldn’t help myself.)
I don’t have enough good things to say about Minority Report. This was an all around excellent effort from Cruise and Spielberg, and aside from the usual minor plot holes (that can be explained away if you think about it long enough), this was a really solid story that came together in a way I never expected. This was also one of those rare instances where the technology used to make the movie look and feel futuristic actually helped rather than hindered. (Lucas, I hope you’re listening!) And Max von Sydow is at his usual creepy best. This is the first must-see of summer “proper”.
While I’m thinking about it, a quick Weekend Update:
Friday: Work ran later than expected, as we had a major proposal to finish up. It’s all good, tho, because it’s followed by some quality XBox time with Darren, then dinner at Chevy’s with Darren, Ali, and Devon, who is apparently getting married and moving far, far away. Anyway, dinner lead to killing time playing with Scout (Darren’s new dog – she’s so cute. I can’t understand how Darren can hate her so passionately), then to the movies for the afforementioned kick-ass film. (Oh, Ward was there too. But he hates everything. Long story.)
Saturday was spent watching Darren spend lots of money just so he could get a better computer than I’ve got. Spike and Denise joined us on our little trek through Oxford Valley, where there was much DVD buying and taunting of Denise with my incredibly cold smoothie cup to be had. After that, dinner at the Golden Tea Pot, followed by late nite zombie killing.
Sunday was a bit lazier – just me and my buddy Steve watching WWE King of the Ring on pay-per-view. And that’s my glorious (and much busier than usual) weekend.
