Were theaters in the Nacogdoches area shrewd enough to show something other than the constant run-of-the-mill big studio pictures, my girlfriend and I would be seeing 'Across the Universe' this weekend. Alas, that will have to wait for another time. And despite all the mixed reviews, I'm excited about this one. Julie Taymor is like the female Baz Luhrmann, making movies that, if not quite hitting it out of the park storywise, are at least some of the most visually dazzling features ever put on film. I will say, though, that I am disheartened by the scathing reviews for 'Trade.' I was hoping for a smart, effective take on the sex-trade industry, and was excited to see Kevin Kline in a rare dramatic role. But after seeing the general consensus being "it makes you feel icky," I'm going to steer clear. And one more thing, I honestly can't recommend 'The Kingdom' enough. I saw a screening about a month ago, and I think it might be the best movie I've seen all year. It's an action movie with a brain and a point. And I think the last 30 minutes are as exciting as anything in 'The Bourne Ultimatum.'
