A whole bunch of feature-film-mediocrity lately. Except for Cinderella Man, which was surprisingly good, even for someone with a pretty strict Russell-Crowe-moratorium (that would be me). And I liked King Kong well enough, 3-hours flashed by without a single glance down a my watch, a good sign. And, it would be remiss of me not to say more about The Librarian, wouldn’t it? I liked it better than I thought I would, it was a silly sort of Indiana Jones, with a geeky bookish type as a protagonist, but what did I expect? Noah Wyle was alright, there were giggles to be had at lines like, “the Librarian, he’s incredible” and “he’s just a librarian, but he could be so much more.” Heh.
My uncle is in Cinderella Man. He has about a 5-second speech right at the beginning, as the fight announcer or something. It’s the whole reason we rented the movie, and I missed it, because I was still running around setting up dinner in front of the tv. I thought he had more than that, but no… My uncle, directed by Ron Howard. Ooooh!
