It has been more than a week since we went to a movie! And its been tough. Not wanting to squander this chance, we went to Tulsa to see "Changeling". Yes, we could have stayed in Muskogee and watched one of the many Halloween/slasher movies or one of the many "slacker" movies, but hey, when Clint Eastwood makes a Movie that Ron Howard wants to produce, I need to see it. "The Changeling stars Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich. It is a true story about a missing boy in LA in 1928 and the Police Department's mission to make the public believe that the boy they found is the missing boy. When the Mother (Angelina) refuses the boy, they have her committed to the loony bin. This movie is 2 hours and 24 minutes so get comfortable. It is also as well made as other Eastwood films. I set in disbelief and keep reminding myself that this actually happened. Again this his an adult movie because it is dialogue based and therefore may be paced too slow for young adults (under 30). It is well acted and the period filming using special effects of the 20's and 30's makes you feel that you are there. Production is well done.
I give it ***1/2 stars.
This is the first of many good movies coming our way. The trailers showed "Doubt" and "Frost/Nixon" . And of course the guy that got me going to the movies is back next week.
Bond, James Bond
