    Julie – Thanks for the comment!

    Same here – Brendan Fraser has really grown on me over the years, and I always look forward to seeing what he’s got coming down the pike. He’s funny in a goofball way.

    I’ll probably see Inkheart this weekend, so look for my review on Film Gecko. :-)

    Inkheart could tempt me into a theater. I adore Brendan Fraser. He had a scene in Blast from the Past that won me over for life: He’s such a goofball, and someone says to him, “She doesn’t want a little boy. She needs a man.” Brendan, changes his entire posture and becomes that man without saying a word.
