Oops - missed a day. Once again, watched 2 movies over the weekend.
The Answer Man
from IMDB.com - "Everyone wants to meet Arlen Faber, the world famous author of the best-selling spiritual book "Me and God", but crotchety, disgruntled Arlen simply wants to be left alone - and so far he's been successful in keeping his identity a secret. But all that changes when troubled bookstore owner Kris Lucas discovers his home address and barters books for Arlen's words of wisdom, and a back injury leads the reclusive writer to begin dating chiropractor and overprotective single mother Elizabeth. As Arlen's relationships with his newfound friends begin to grow, he must come to terms with his past and the realization that he doesn't hold all the answers."
Jeff Daniels stars as Arlen Faber. I enjoyed his 'crotchety' Arlen. I enjoyed each of the human interactions and overall thought the movie was pretty good. I'd give it 3-1/2 junior mints

Well, another Brendan Fraser movie. I like Brendan, but sometimes I wonder about him. In this fantasy, Brendan's character has the ability to bring characters out of their books, just by reading aloud. While the premise was interesting, it just didn't work that well for me. The dialogue was lacking, although some of the special effects were good. But the whole idea of simply reading aloud and bringing out whatever character you need at the time was just a little much for me. My rating - 3 junior mints
