Father's Day Movies

Yesterday was Father's Day. Being a father, I got some special treatment, including selecting the movies we would watch. Only Sarah and Sherry were around to watch them with me, but they did so with no negative comments whatsoever. I think they even liked the movies. I sure did. Here they are:

Casablanca

93

Finally, I’ve seen this film. And, yes, it’s a bit slower than modern films, but by 30 minutes in, Sarah was not looking at her laptop anymore, and we were fully engaged. So many quotes! And why are they quotes? Because they are great lines, with memorable moments attached.

Star Trek: Insurrection

90

For pure fun, great effects, episode-like story, this was wonderful. Not so much acting, and a few story-logic problems.


I got a couple of nice gifts, too! X-Files Season 2 (see my post from Friday) and a book I've been wanting to read -- A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. I'll review it when I've read a bit. I expect to really like it.
