This is going to be short and sweet because I am in the middle of editing my life review project for my Psychology in Aging class. This paper is 40% of my grade so I am taking it pretty seriously.
However, all work and no play makes Laura a dull girl, so Ron and I stopped at the theater on the way home from work on Friday. Usually, when we attend a movie on it's opening day, we end up standing in line and get really crummy seats. Maybe it's because we went to the 6:35 showing, but we had no problem buying tickets or getting good seats. In fact, there was hardly anyone in the theater. This made me nervous.
Once the movie started, I forgot about all that. The movie is set in the 70's so waves of nostalgia hit me as I watched. The kids in this are GREAT! In a way, it reminded me of E.T. The ensemble of child actors played so well off each other and Elle Fanning (Dakota's little sister) and Joel Courtney were so believable. For me, this movie was about the relationships between the kids and the kids and their dads. The monster part of the movie got a little hokey at the end, but I still feel that this movie is a definite "Go see it!" Even though there are no comic book heroes in it I hope that the people who usually go to the movies will give it a chance.
OK, there's my review. Now I have got to get back to my paper.
