Default Anyone seen "Flight 93" yet?

It got a rave review in The New Yorker. I will certainly see it.

I thought that was the "Kiss of Death"?


My acid test is whether *both* The New Yorker and The Wall Street
Journal* rave about the film. Here's Joe Morgenstern in the WSJ today:


NPRs movie critic, Bob Mondello, gave it a rave review yesterday. He's
usually pretty "on the mark", in my experience -- so I guess we'll be
checking it out.


I was impressed by the fact that even Mondello, a hard-bitten critic,
admitted he was emotionally drained by the experience in spite of the tricks
he uses to stay objective about films he reviews.

If anything, that makes me more doubtful that I'll go see it. I just don't
know if I could take it; I'm upset enough about 9/11 as it is.

'Gut feeling'

Intestinologists concur that the human gut does not contain any rational
thoughts.

What the human gut *is* full of is moderately well known.
