Some cad, some ne'er-do-wel- l, made me the target and hurled a projectile at me with the preci-sion of someone who sits around getting bad grades and hurling things at people. I am now sit-ting here waiting for an officer of the law to show up to give me the justice that I deserve. - No, I don't remember what he looked like, but he smelled like feet, had braces on his teeth, and was probably wearing the same shorts that he was wearing yesterday and the day before. He nailed me as I innocently ambled into the gym to grab tables or had I mentioned that? Yes, there were several of them, and the room went quiet just after the unidentified object made contact with my skull, which gave me ample time to confirm that, yes, they all smelled like feet and Cheetos. Also, if this helps, as they slow-ly turned to stare at me I noticed that they all had Justin Beaver hair which would normally hin-der identification, but as I men-tioned, they all smelled like feet and Cheetos so you should be able to track them down with only minor damage to the sniff-ing dogs. I, of course, politely and ap-propriately requested that they gather up their Hannah Montana notebooks and their Jimmer jerseys and vacate the premises because, frankly, I didn't want to have a bunch of unsupervised kids I didn't know throwing stuff at me and seeing me cry. Actually I am used to lumps on the back of my head be-ing that I teach Primary in my church group. Most of my head injuries I acquired during my brief stint as a ballroom dancer instructor. But a lump is a lump, left either by a Bible in the Lord's house or from an elbow from Vanessa, the tallest girl in the world assigned to be my dancing partner, who I was sup-posed to lift over my head and twirl like a lighter than air tree trunk (plus fourteen pounds of rhinestones and a sharp, pointy thing in her hair). But back to the beaning, the pointing and laughing and, of course, the cry-ing. Truth be told, I may have freaked out just a teeny. Of course the kids laughed at the old guy with the lump, and tripped over their size 14 honkers when I asked them to leave. To make matters worse, as I loaded tables into my mini-va- n, not one of the church dudes standing around not supervising asked if they could help me. I believe this is in direct violation of the church dude code, that, quote, "When an old man with a lump on the back of his head whose eyes are watering from the smell of feet is alone loading tables, he should be helped." Close quote. And I think, through my perfect "Cheney" continued on Page 6 The Casual Critic by Daryl Austin ' I--. ' . v r "Water for Elephants" takes place in 1931 and is about a Cor-nel veterinary student who runs away with the circus and falls in love with the show's star attrac-tion while she is married to the abusive Ring Master. The movie is thoroughly entertaining and it ends with the same sentiment the book created, but while it cer-tainly has its high points, it misses much of the magic from the book. The character develop-ment seriously lacks as does the chemistry between Patterson and Witherspoon. Furthermore, I was especially excited to see how Christoph Waltz would do as Marlena's husband, knowing he was ripe off his triumphant por-trayal of a Nazi-loyali- st in 2009's ."Jjiglourousgtards."1;'But he too, was underwhelming. I sup-pose all of that is just as well as the real star of the movie is also the true star of the book: "Rosie the Elephant." Content: Rated PG-1- 3 for mild language, moderate vio-lence, a scene where there is a mild striptease that shows nothing . from the neck down and a scene of brief sensuality. Other Opinions: 887 "Av-erage Joes" give "Water for El-ephants" a rating of 6.3 out of 10 while 9 1 professional film critics give it an average score of 54 per-cent out of 100 percent Should you see it? Yes, it's an insightful peek into a time and age often forgotten. For more reviews by The Casual Critic please visit www. casualcriticmovies.com. "Water for Elephants" Casual Critic Score: 7 out of 10 Release Date: April 22, 2011 Rating: PG-1- 3 Length: 122 minutes Genre: Drama, Romance My wife and I actually read the book "Water for Ele-phants" out loud to each other. It was a compelling and beau-tiful story that took you to a truly magical time and place. We discussed often how excit-ing it would be to see the story played out as a movie. When we learned that is was in fact going to be made into a movie, we were very excited. We were even more excited to learn that Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line) was going to play the part of Marlena, but a bit disap-pointed to find out that Robert Pattinson (Twilight) was going to play the part of Jacob. Having just seen the mov-ie, I can honestly say my feel-ings are now the other way around. Witherspoon was dry, unaffecting and frankly ap-peared to be acting throughout most of the movie, while Pat-tinson was alive and methodi-cal with his portrayal of Jacob. ' i ' v -- You're invited!
