Secondhand Lions


The best laid plans, etc., etc.

I was going to write about seeing Bill Moyers' interview with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and how impressed we were with him. He doesn't come across at all like those "sound bytes" that have been all over the news.

Or about the interesting story on NOW, dealing with a group helping high schoolers from lower income zip codes get through the college admission process.

But then, when that was over, we saw that we could catch just the end of Secondhand Lions. What a magnificant movie it is! If you've seen the movie before, watch it again. If you're so deprived that you've never seen it, get a copy of it from somewhere (NetFlix, Blockbuster, your local video store, or On Demand) and watch it ASAP. It's got to be one of the best movies ever made - that you've never heard of.

And today's picture is the movie poster from the internet.
