George's Movie of the Week
This week's movie is Spiderman III. Spiderman III can best be described as 140 magnificent minutes of unadulterated entertainment. The only way to improve upon this movie is to buy some Skittles at the theater and eat them while viewing the film, thereby extending the euphoric experience to a wider range of sensory receptors.
The stunts, fights and scenery are worth the price of admission on their own, but Spiderman III goes beyond the call and delivers an engaging plot as well. More than just a special effects action extravaganza, this movie has a clear and uplifting moral theme about the virtue of forgiveness and the chaos of vengeance: as glamorous as the black spidey-suit of vengeance is, we are all better off in life to don the red spidey suit of justice.
There have been complaints that Spiderman III is too long, but this critic was not bothered by the film's length. I could watch Spiderman III twice standing on my head, except that other people in the theater would probably complain about that, and I don't think I'd keep my balance standing on my head for 4 hours and 40 minutes.
I give the film three out of four stars (***).

You mentioned how the scenery was worth the price of admission: Were you referring to the footage shot in downtown Cleveland or Kirsten Dunst?

Eh, I think that they are both a little over-rated. ;^)
