Last Saturday Pam and I saw the movie/musical "Hairspray." My goodness, that was fun! After the opening song by Tracy Turnblad, "Good Morning Baltimore," I turned to Pam and said, "This is going to be a good movie."
Hairspray was delightful from beginning to end. The music and dancing were incredible. Mom and Dad--are you reading this? You'd love this movie.
I'd rank Hairspray as the best movie I've seen this year. And we've not seen any duds yet. We've seen seven movies, and I'd put them in this order: Hairspray, Evan Almighty, Live Free or Die Hard, Shrek the Third, Oceans 13, and Transformers. (Yes, we skipped the third iterations of both Spiderman and Pirates.)
Career-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
Could not agree more! John Travolta was VERY funny and his scenes with Christopher Walken were in good taste. A very good time at the movies--a rarity for sure these days.
