A few days of vacation always calls me to take some time not only to read but to check out a couple of films. Here is a quick summary of some films worth seeing
Breakfast at Tiffany's: The early 1960's classic starring Audrey Hepburn continues to give some keen insights into the longings of the human heart. The other plus is that some of the lines have become part of our cultural dialogue-so its worth knowing their origin.
Traitor: An excellent thriller with Don Cheadle. There are wonderful twists and turns in the plot, but more importantly there are moral dilemmas that are not easily dealt with that cause us to think in our day as we face terrorism. I believe the film has a 2008 release date.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: Thoughtful and thought-provoking. The story is of a child who is born old and becomes young. A fairly long film at 166 minutes, it has little action, but is worth the time for its take on life. Afterward it is worth conversation.
Coming to a Theater: Revolutionary Road I saw the trailer for this film. It looks like a film about those who are trapped in the suburban maze when they long for so much more. It will be interesting to see what it is actually all about. In watching just the trailer I was struck by how not having a God directed life so that you can find meaning and serve wherever you are, can quickly lead to despair when you end up where you don't want to be.

Shooot... I clicked on the link and it told me "this movie is not available in your country". It wouldn't even give me the info! Must be those Canadian government censors acting up again.
