mike goes to the movies: The Visitor

In the midst of the "summer movies" such as Indiana Jones and Sex & the City is a small movie that you probably won't hear about in the media. It is playing in Tulsa for a short run on one screen and is about a professor from the Ivy League who being and recent widower has lost his way. He journeys to NYC for a conference and to stay in the apartment that he and his wife had kept for 20 years. He had not been there in a while and upon arrival finds a couple living there that are illegals! The story starts there and is one of the best of 2008 so far. No car chases, No fights, just a slice of very current life and events. A good follow up to my recent rant about immigration. Out of five stars, I give it ****.

The Visitor ( look at the trailer on line.)
