Entry #7 Movie: The Mighty

well despite things i have heard about this movie i had a great experience watching this movie. i had heard from certain people (cough, cough, Tomin) that the only part of the movie that was good was the last 15 minuets of the movie. although the last 15 minuets were so good and sad enough to make me start balling, i thought the movie as a whole deserved a thumbs up. i really enjoyed watching this because it really helped me to think more about the book and also i basically got a whole new beginning of a story. i think that watching the movie defiantly did it's job by helping to expand my thinking and questions about the book. even though it was very good and even though Kieran Culkin was really good as freak it really is hard to get over the fact that the beginning was completely different. Kieran Culkin did a good job at what it seemed he was trying to accomplish as Freak but just Freak's whole character and attitude was much different from how i imagined Freak would be. all in all though i really enjoyed the movie and now i sort of want to read the second book.
