Am I the only one here who will admit to seeing this? [Wink]

Today, 1:00PM, Cinemark 17 in Springfield, House #13, SR-D. About 2/3 full. Very good presentation, good print, no complaints from me. Loaded with CRAP code in reel 3 though.

This is every pre-teen girl's fantasy about having a horse. Well, ok, in this story she takes it to the next level, several levels in fact. Anything is possible, dreams can come true, everyone's dreams, not just the girl's. Well-acted by Kurt Russell and Dakota Fanning, beautifully photographed, nice soundtrack. Nicely paced without being frantic or "goosed" to keep it moving. Predictable, but in a satisfying way. There was applause from the audience at the end.

3.25 out of 5 stars from me.

I won't admit to seeing this because I didn't and never will.

BTW, this has got to be the stupidest movie title of all time.

Had Quentin Tarantino directed it, I would consider watching it.

We've had more than a few adults ask when this is coming, so I think we'll do well with it. Of course this IS horse country.
