Re:Tom Cruise movies for Holly
Deborah Lewis
***The real question was which Tom Cruise movies Holly might like. She
wouldn't
like that one. <g> Nor Mission Impossible.
Since Keith loves bombs and westerns and Holly loves musicals and
fantasies,
what they watch together are things like Paint Your Wagon. <g>***
They might make it half way through "Far and Away".<g> John Williams
composed the music and it's a kind of a western, but I don't remember
anything being blown to bits. There's a fire or two and some good fight
scenes.<g> I liked it but almost no one else did. = /

Ron Howards epic tale tells the story of two Irish immigrants quest for
land during the 1890s Oklahoma land rush. Tom Cruise stars as Joseph
Donnelly, an ambitious young farmer in western Ireland. When a local
protest against wealthy landlord Daniel Christie (Robert Prosky) results
in the death of his father, Joseph seeks revenge. But his attempt at
vengeance is thwarted by Shannon Christie (Nicole Kidman), the landlord's
high-spirited and headstrong daughter, who stabs Joseph with a pitchfork.
While convalescing at the Christies' manor, Joseph is propositioned by
Shannon, who asks him to travel with her to America--where she is
determined to acquire some of the free land being given away in the
Oklahoma Territory. Arriving in Boston, Joseph acts as protective brother
to Shannon in the foreign city streets as they struggle to earn the money
to travel out west. Rating: PG-13.
Starring:
Tom Cruise Nicole Kidman
Thomas Gibson Colm Meaney
Barbara Babcock Robert Prosky
Director: Ron Howard
Composer: John Williams
Special Effects: Neil Corbould

My husband and I both liked that movie. And I really didn't expect to like
it. I don't care for Tom Cruise and from the previews of the movie, I didn't
really have the desire to see it. It was a nice surprise.
