Steve-0 and I went out last night and saw August Rush. Admittedly, :::I::: was the one who wanted to see it - Steve wanted to see I Am Legend, but it was sold out.
Here's the thing about it: I loved it.
Here's another thing about it: It was terrible.
By all movie standards, that is. The plotline was weak and underdeveloped, it was slow to start, the storyline was almost so ridiculous and cheesy that you might consider vomiting, the coincidences that tied the film together were so outrageous that they were laughable.
BUT.
I loved it.
I don't know why.
I just did.
It spoke to me on some level....the music was beautiful. I got caught up in the story. At times, my pulse quickened, my heart swelled, my stomach would lurch. I just liked it. Which I should probably be embarrassed about, but I'm not.
Go see it. Tell me what you think.

Hey quit being a literary critic..Next you'll be a squalkboxer....it was good because it is all the things you said....an extended serendipity...music's great; Robin Williams is kind and wickedely scary....See, you're too damn smart fer your own good.

AMAZING...
I can't even begin to write everything that I feel about this movie...
I cried... It made me want to sing... and dance and go straight home and play the piano... (except that my parents are asleep!!!!)
It had me on the edge of my seat... I could feel my heart beating in my chest... the music made me feel alive...
It's so crazy that I feel all of this... but I just can't explain the feeling that I have after watching it...
again, AMAZING!!!!!
