Another event that I feel compelled to write about is my viewing of a movie on Friday night. August Rush is Oscar worthy and a very enjoyable movie. Going into the movie with little or no expectations and knowing very little about the plot of the movie I was very pleasantly surprised. Starting off slow and myself already tired from an early start on shopping that morning I was very inattentive and dosing off through the first part of the movie however after 15-20 min my attention had been regained and I was drawn further and further into the movie and the life of August Rush. A great performance from Robin Williams and a breathtaking job by Keri Russell was not enough to take the attention away from brilliant rising star Freddie Highmore's magnificent performance. Also Jonathan Rhys Meyers portrayed in a wonderful way as a struggling musician and a love lost wanderer. Go see the movie and enjoy the well written first major role was and overall GOOD movie.
And remember, "The Music is everywhere, You just have to listen."

mmm... cant wait to seeee that... still have no idea what its about but im ok with that, id rather go into it with no expectations or preconceived notions.
agreed. good movie - I'll compare it to October Sky because when you leave this one you want to pick up an instrument just like in Octobery Sky you wanted to pick up rocket science and make a difference in the world. Plus the mom is hot.
