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

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

Went on IMDb and found the latest review (8 stars): Hey there! I was able to go to Knoxville, TN, to catch the world premiere of this movie where I actually met Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson, and the director. They were all three very nice! The movie is very fun with not having to think at

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? T. -Original Message- From: Diana Tomchick diana.tomch...@utsouthwestern.edu Sent: Jul 10, 2008 8:03 PM To: Mixon Bill

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

Mixon, you old curmudgeon! What's wrong with a modern, 3-D version of a classic underground movie, especially since it stars Brendan Fraser! He's way more entertaining than Paul Boone, and the new version can't be more kitschy than the 1959 clunker. Diana On Jul 10, 2008, at 6:12 PM,
