Cinema Cindy Reviews ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’

“Mad Max: Fury Road” is not the sort of movie I yearn to see.

OK, that’s an understatement. I really did not intend to see this movie AT ALL. But then The Santa Fe New Mexican gave it four chilies (and they are very snooty about which films they like). I could let that go, but then The Week, in its Review of Reviews (May 29 issue) gave it four stars. What’s going on here? OK, we have to see it now, before it gets an Oscar nomination or something.

“Tomorrowland”, which opened Friday, is part Baby Boomer nostalgia, part encouragement for teenage idealists, and part inspiration for even younger dreamers.

It is a simple enough story for older elementary kids to follow and visually intriguing enough for adults to be entertained. For some, the last scenes get a bit preachy, but the message is clear: keep dreaming and let hope be your guide.

George Clooney plays a grown up Frank Walker, a boy genius whose story opens the movie. Thomas Robinson plays the 12-year-old Frank, who enters his homemade jet pack in Read More
