Movie Update

We (Alyssa and I) finally got through Ben Hur and moved on to Yankee Doodle Dandy. James Cagney starred and won the academy award for his performance in the film in 1942. The movie was black and white which bothered me at first but I had forgotten about by the end. The film was surprisingly enjoyable, after the snore fest that was Ben Hur. YDD was a great musical/comedy with some catchy show tunes. Not to mention the subject matter (George M. Cohan) was one hell of an interesting guy. I'm now looking forward to Blade Runner, another one I've never seen.
