See It Twice and Then See It Again
Obviously, I liked this movie. It is just the sort of movie I like, actually. I like time travel (we went to "Back To the Future" the night it opened), I like good acting (I come from NY, and Dennis Quaid did an incredible job of portraying a Queens/everyman fireman--the accent was perfect and the attachment to his family was, well, the way it is...), and I like intense plots.I want you to see it twice because you will miss a few things the first time, unless you are REALLY REALLY smart and REALLY REALLY quick. Just a few odds and ends that will make it even more enjoyable the second time.Then I want you to see it again because it could, just possibly become one of "your" movies...I am considering making it one of mine. If it falls into this category, it will achieve a special status I only reserve for a few movies that make me cosy when I watch them, the way some people read the same books over and over. I know it's hard to imagine a movie like this, with violence and fires and fierce interludes making a person feel cosy, but hey, I think at least some of you will "get" what I am trying to say.
