SURPRISE ...

I watched the last half of Along Came a Spider (2001) with Morgan Freeman, one of my favorite actors, the other day. Monica Potter, Nicolas Cage's wife in ConAir, plays the part of his partner. Missed the part where is former partner is killed. Often I'm able to figure out what will happen before it does. This time I never saw it coming. Potter's character was so incredibly ... open, honest, sincere, compassionate ... inadequate descriptions, and guess what? She turns out to be the bad guy. Girl.

I did a google search on Mr. Freeman. His first part, uncredited, was in Pawnbroker in 1964 playing a man on the street. Forty-two years later he's been in seventy movies and television programs with more on the way. One movie in post-production, three in the filming stages and three announced.

Some of my favorites: THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (loved it, loved it, loved it), Sum of All Fears, Kiss the Girls (love Ashley Judd), Unforgiven, Driving Miss Daisy, Batman Begins.

There are several I want to see. First is High Crimes, another one with Ashley Judd. I watched several trailers and it looks interesting.

Today I'll be running errands: Dry Cleaners (drop-off, pick-up), grocery store (groceries, Jill's book), Champ's (soccer socks), deliver pictures of Miss America taken with her Oklahoma Star to star's house. Evan has a soccer game at 4 and I need to walk.

Before, after and in-between I'll be working on Deep Breaths. Jaclyn (not her permanent name but haven't found the perfect one yet) is planning on doing something dangerous and stupid just to prove to her hero that she's not crazy.
