The Hail Mary Project

Doug and I spent the afternoon at the movie theater today watching Ryan Gosling's newest film, "The Hail Mary Project."  It had gotten great reviews and Cal told us that he really liked it, so I had pretty high expectations.  Thankfully, I was not let down.  The movie was fantastic and I loved it from start to finish.  It reminded me somewhat of Castaway with Tom Hanks, but this film had a lot more humor in it.  The main character did go into space and there was an alien character, so it was completely science fiction. The movie was incredibly heartwarming, however, so the genre of film didn't really matter that much.  Overall, I was very glad that Doug agreed to go with me as he liked the movie as well, and we were able to share a large bucket of popcorn making for a fun lunch for the two of us.  As Roger Ebert would say, "a big thumbs up" for today's theater experience.
