I have to say, I highly recommend going to the cinema on a Sunday morning (unless, of course, you spend your Sunday mornings in other ways), since it seems to be as close to having a personal cinema as most of us are ever going to get. I can't recall the last Sunday morning screening I've been to where there were more than about five people - today's total was three, including me.

So, Fearless. If it's true, as it seems to be, that this movie is likely to be Jet Li's last old school movie, then what a movie to go out with. I can't wait to get the dvd. :)

Meanwhile, I feel I must mention a couple of the trailers they showed this morning - alas, nothing for the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie, which was disappointing - but what we did get raised two distinct muffled laughs from me in the following areas:

Guys, if you're going to get Colin Farrell all rumpled and unshaven and make a movie about cops in Miami, you really might want to reconsider actually calling it Miami Vice because that takes the edge off the whole 'we are hardcore' thing more than a little.

Snakes on a Plane - boy, that movie looks bad enough to be shown on the Sci Fi Channel on a regular basis.

One of my best theater trips was a few months after Phantom Menace came out.

I got permission to take my kids to an open captioned performance for a field trip. It was just me, my aide/interpreter and my three students.

And on work time. It was awesome. :)
