Well, I guess I can't argue with such devotion.  But, those pesky
trailers have a habit of showing movies through such awfully skewed,
rose-tinted spectacles.

Myself, I'll wait for all the hullabaloo to die down, and then see it
and decide for myself.  (I might even see it before it comes to the
second-run theatre!  Egads!!)

In the meantime, go and see _Life is Beautiful_.  It's one kick-ass
movie!!

Cheers,

Paul.
