Magpie and Muttonfly

I’ve noticed a wonderful trend as of late … the showing of films in the park.  I know, I know … other cities have been doing this since the dawn of time, but not Boise.    

Of course, I’ve always thought this a splendid idea.  As a matter of fact, one of my fanciful dreams consists of owning a big stone barn, where I’d host parties during the winter, and show films during the summer.  *sigh*

Still, movies in the park is a start … if only they’d show a film I’d like to watch. 

In the meantime, there’s always the traditional Theatre … where it just so happens I watched Knight and Day.  It’s one to own; I mean really, how long has it been since a good action-comedy came out?  Only forever! 

Hasn’t this movie been receiving mixed reviews?  Yes, yes it has; but here’s the thing: some poor, unfortunate souls have no sense of humor.  A few of them were sitting in front of us as a matter of fact.  In such cases it’s best to ignore said review … and pity the critic …

What about the whole ’Tom-Cruise-is-annoying’ bit?  Doesn’t hold water.  I was among the number who took a hiatus from Tom Cruise movies–this one reminds me why I liked him in the first place.

I’m telling you, this movie made us laugh–out loud–nearly the entire time.  Such a feat, after a week like last?  Well, it’s nearly enough to make me jump up on a sofa, flail my arms about, and wildly proclaim my gratitude. {poor guy will never live that one down}

Instead, I’ll simply tell you this: if you need some good, light-hearted fun, do yourself a favor and go see Knight and Day … then come back here and quote your favorite lines and we’ll throw back our heads back and LAUGH some more …
