ARGO

What a great movie!  It returned to Wichita Friday for an encore performance, and we knew we wanted to see it.  So we went to the show that night.

Because it was in a small theater, nearly every seat was taken.  By old people.  Who don't text, talk, or giggle.  It was the quietest movie I have ever been to.  And because we were there only 15 minutes early, we had to sit toward the front.  Not usually my favorite place, but it was fine.

It is a good thing I knew what was going to happen, because the movie was tense.  Very tense.

I think it is a shame that Ben Affleck was shunned by the Motion Picture Academy because the movie was too pro-American.  I thought it pointed out plenty of reasons for us to be mad at our country.  But it also showed some very valiant people working hard to save others' lives.

This is a movie well worth seeing.  The behind-the-scenes look at a special operation makes for a pretty exciting, expletive-filled flick that will keep a person on the edge of their seat!
