Re: [Texascavers] Journey to the Center of the Earth
I just watched Channel 8 (WFAA) news here in Dallas this AM. They're an ABC affiliate, FWIW. Anyhoo, their movie critic, Gary Cogill, a guy I've enjoyed for years and whose reviews I tend to agree with rated the movie, and I quote, "Unwatchable". Not exactly a ringing endorsement. Guess I'll be saving my $$ for a couple of gallons of gas, if I'm lucky.

I hope there's a goose (eider duck?) in it. She saved the Pat Boone/James Mason version. And why isn't Bjork in it? Doesn't it start in Iceland?

The movie is very fun with not having to think at all. I've never read the book, so I have no idea how "true" to the book it is. The movie clocks in at 92 minutes, which is a great length. I saw it in the REAL 3D, and I am so glad I did. The new technology makes the 3D just incredible. Some of the special effects were very much animated and you could tell, but the movie itself is visually stunning, very entertaining, has no bad language, nudity, nor sex scenes. My vote is that for a good 1.5 hours of entertainment with your family, this is the movie for you! Oh yeah, it opens on July 11th, 2008--my 34th birthday! I think that we can't take a movie like this too seriously. Mainly go for the special effects (which I hear are pretty good).

John Brooks emailed me with a good idea: Anyone care to write a review of this cinematographically inspired masterpiece? www.rottentomatoes.com rates it as so-so. Me? I'd rather see Wall-E, Hellboy II, The Dark Knight, X Files, and anxiously waiting for the new Coen Brothers movie (No Country for Old Men, Brother Where Art Thou, Fargo, Raising Arizona) with George Clooney and Brad Pitt.

[Texascavers] Journey to the Center of the Earth
Great story, Steele. I just looked at the trailer for the movie (at journeymovie.com), which it turns out I had seen sometime before. Not much resemblance to the book, although there are dinosaurs, an underground sea, and lava. A man and two children (well, teenagers). -- Mixon -- You may "reply" to the address this message came from, but for long-term use, save: Personal: bmi...@alumni.uchicago.edu AMCS: edi...@amcs-pubs.org or sa...@amcs-pubs.org - Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com

That 1959 classic was no clunker. Its still a good movie to watch. It definitely has entertainment value.
