Truckers (1992)

I had not seen Truckers before. I don’t expect to watch it again, and would not recommend it to many people.

The Happiest Millionaire (1967)

I had not seen The Happiest Millionaire before, and missed part of the film this time. I would not go out of my way to see it again. I could recommend it to anyone who would watch a ’60s musical.


Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

I had not seen Pan’s Labyrinth before. I could recommend it, and will probably see it again at some point.



trip over

After about a week in New York, I have finished a satisfying vacation. I recommend avoiding the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta whenever possible. High-pressure credit card salespeople were set up along the concourse I flew from, and every seating area was subject to inane, unavoidable television news shows. Time spent in New York, of course, was more relaxed and enjoyable. I got to see a few people that I hadn’t seen in a long time, and met one or two people that I hope to see again.

The King of Kong (2007)

I hadn’t seen The King of Kong before. It wasn’t as good as I expected. I probably wouldn’t watch it again, but I might recommend it with some reservations.

Silent Running (1972)

I had not seen Silent Running before. I would not watch it again, and could not recommend it to anyone.

four square

I flew into New York yesterday. This afternoon I wandered around Prospect Park. I happened to find a pick-up game of four square going on, and spent an hour or two playing. A small barbecue followed.
