It's Movie Time

It's Tuesday afternoon.  It's raining.  I'm stuck at home with a sick kid.  Thus, I will probably not be straying far from my couch until dinner time... which means, of course, that it's movie time!  My first choice, Man on Wire, is a documentary chronicling several years in the life of Frenchman Philipe Petit, who walked a tightrope between the WTC twin towers in 1974.  This film instantly entrances me every time I see it:  the footage, the score, and the narration from Petit and his cohorts all work together beautifully to tell a breathtaking true story.  It is seamless and gorgeous, and when it ends you'll want to watch it again immediately.  Good thing I'm not going anywhere today.
