I went to see "The Passion of the Christ" on Friday. There's a new theater complex in Glenview where the naval air base used to be located which has all stadium seating. Anyway, the film was about 85% done when the power went out all down the street. The movie had just reached the part where Jesus was on the cross at Cavalry and dark clouds filled the sky. The theater gave us free tickets to a future showing. The weather outside was also dark and windy. Kind of a spooky coincidence. I thought the film was great, although very brutal and hard to watch in spots. There are scenes that bring tears to your eyes. If it doesn't win the Oscar for best picture next year, then they might as well just shut down the Academy for lack of relevance. The year is still early, but I can't imagine a better film coming out.
