Here's the previous thread where I give you my opinions, and others posted, too.

I hear that the critics have been fairly kind -- Joel Siegel (CBS) and Gene Shalit (NBC) particularly. But Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun Times) didn't like it.

Our local critic, Shawn Levy, at the Portland Oregonian, did a lot of writing on Steven Spielberg's history in film. You'll find his discussion at:

And how was YOUR day?

1. My daughter and 3 of her co-workers were planning....

to attend tonight's opening, but all of the seats at all of the screens at all of the megaplexes in town were sold out.

Maybe everybody wants to see Tom Cruise pull off the acting performance of his life - that of a sane man (feeling menaced by an alien invasion).
