The Polar Express.

We went to see "The Polar Express" tonight. I strongly recommend seeing this movie! It doesn't matter what kind of movies you like or how old you are, you will like seeing this one. The graphics and sound effects are great, and the story line is just as I remember my teacher reading it to me in grade school.

We went to the last showing of the night in Delmont, and there were about 5 other people in the theater. That was great, because it meant that Natalie could get up and Dance in aisles whenever a song came on, as she seems to enjoy doing whenever we go to a movie.

There were a lot of scenes in the movie that I think will probably loose a their majesty whenever this movie gets converted to television, so I strongly recommend seeing it in theaters. Many of the scenes try to illustrate enormous size of everything as seen through the eyes of a young boy. That works so much better on a big screen than on a television. There is also a 3-D version of this movie showing at the IMAX in Pittsburgh. I intend to go see it before the Christmas season is out.
