CBS This Morning used to have class, when Norah O'Donnell was a part of it. Now that she has left Gayle King seems to have risen, at least in her own mind, to running the show. I think she's a great interviewer and I think I'd like her as a friend, but I am so upset every time that she interrupts guests and even her coworkers! Sometimes I want to hear what they have to say and not just Gayle, talking over them. Honestly I'd be very unhappy if I were them and I don't know how they stand it. They must have a lot of patience, that's all that I can say. It makes for very annoying viewing and it's gotten to the point where I don't care to watch anymore.

Powerful. Raw. Real. The emotions that I felt, watching Affleck's performance covered the gamut. It was heartbreakingly honest, and didn't flinch from the horrors of addiction. I will say that watching it was extremely powerful to me, because my father was an alcoholic, and I never understood it. Watching this incredible performance I could see that it was to hide pain, to cover inadequacy, to not feel. One of the most honest movies out there, regarding that. The basketball story was incredible too...somehow I was reminded of Chariots of Fire while watching it. Just how they overcame adversity, and found themselves. This movie is destined to become a classic, in so many ways. Bravo to all who participated, and all who let down their guards and were just real.

What a spectacular movie! I absolutely loved it! It was filmed using a lot of computer animated graphics (Buck was computer animated) but even though I knew that, I loved it! They did a PHENOMENAL job with it, down to every last detail. I doubt that all children would be able to tell. He looked absolutely real, and some of his--and the other dogs/wolves--expressions will melt your heart. Yes, it was a little sweet at times, yes it was a feel good story designed to pull at your heartstrings, but I will take that any day over the violence, gore, and stupidity that a lot of movies are nowadays. Harrison Ford played the human protagonist perfectly, and Omar Sy did great as well, as sympathetic, kind characters. It honestly made me want to go to the Humane Society on the way home and adopt a dog! (I first wrote for "all ages" on my headline, but changed it "almost all". There are some scenes that could be upsetting to younger children.) Oh yes, I should mention that the scenery, although some of that was computer generated too, was magnificent, and absolutely restoring to see. Highly recommend!
