Liam Neeson in KINSEY

My LOTR:ROTK EE is in Lexington, KY, in the hands of UPS, who are bringing it to meeee!

[insert obligatory precioussss joke]

Ahem. Right. Moving on.

Last Tuesday evening I finally got out to see Kinsey. J and I were to go on Monday, but at the last minute he had to go home instead to console his boyfriend who'd just been turned down for a promotion. I went by myself, with a five-dollar convenience store dinner (spring water, mozzarella cheese stick, Ritz crackers, and peanut m&ms) in my bag.

The theater was all but deserted; there were only three of us there for the 5:55 show. I settled in to enjoy myself, and I wasn't disappointed.

The previews were quite good, though the only film advertised that I'm seriously interested in seeing is A Very Long Engagement with Audrey Tatou in the leading role and I think the director of Amelie directing. Just the preview for Hotel Rwanda made me a blubby mess, so I think I'll have to miss that.

Many have said it, but I won't let this stop me from saying it myself - Liam Neeson is freaking brilliant in this film.
