Vantage Point

We spent a few hours Saturday night at the movies seeing the thriller, Vantage Point, which came out last month sometime. We'd really wanted to see Be Kind, Rewind, but the closest theater was Auburn. Dang.

Vantage Point was a suitable stand-in. It was fun, but kinda empty. The NYT reviewer calls it "competent if not completely impersonal filmmaking" and that feels about right to me. There was a fun diversion in the middle, but the climactic scene was pretty hokey and got some laughs from our group.

As for me, I'm waiting for Indiana Jones in May and the next Batman in July. Maybe IronMan, depending on review ... and probably Wall*E. Although this month the mockumentary"The Grand" is opening, which is sure to confuse plenty of people in Tacoma, since it doesn't look like it's actually playing at ... you know, The Grand.
