I know I go to movies more than once a year. Yet it seems it is summertime when I stumble into the dark cines to marvel at how old actors never seem to age and young actors seem to possess the acting chops of old actors. Such it was this June when I darkened the threshold of the moviehouse twice within a week. First, I dragged my hsuband to see Knight & Day. He didn’t regret it. There’s enough action in it to suit any male. And there’s enough humor and potential romance to engage any woman. I know there are Cruise bashers and all that jazz but this guy can act and can make the unbelievable seem like mission possible. As to Cameron, well, I’ve liked her since The Mask. She is the type of gal that makes you want to smile. She is pretty but not intimidatingly so. Refreshing. The film is great and there are some take-away messages, too.
Now for Eclipse. I loved it. I loved the novel and the movie does it justice. Young gals sometimes have to choose which way their lives and guys will take them and different suitors mean different paths. Of course few of us have to choose between becoming the walking dead or having our man turn into a werewolf but …there are always choices a young hs grad has to make and sometimes they do involve young men and the directions they are going to take. Do you want to marry your soul mate who sits around listening to you or do you want to marry someone who is always zooming here or there with the military or his job, or his hobby or whatever? Worth seeing. And guys might like it too. Plenty of gore.
