New Thing Of The Week: Watch something different

The other night something strange happened. I was up late at night watching the start of Letterman and then it occured - Letterman was not on Letterman.

Letterman has been sick for sometime now coughing and hacking more than a nerd on Jolt, but Adam Sandler was hosting!

Sandler's hosting of the show was... umm different, but he had a co-star of his recent movie on (as seen above). This made me think.

The usual stuff I see is comedies or obscure Australian dramas (obscure to the Australian public that is) so I thought well if Sandler can try something different in having a thought provoking drama I could go watch the thing.

So, (and this is a review of the New Thing, not a preview) I ended up going yesterday to the movie and it was awesome.

Yes, Sandler plays someone with a mental defect, again, but this time it is different.

It is a beautiful performance and something that inspired me later in the week.

A lot of my mates think that Sandler can't go to acting because there hasn't been that many good comedian>actors.

I say Robin Williams, but then they say "What Things May Come".

To them I say Good Will Hunting.

What an excellent performance! As was Sandler's.

So, in conclusion - I really do recommend going to see Reign Over Me because it is something different than the usual twaddle, it is a heart affirming movie and it is thought provoking.

And that's all we want in life - something to provoke thoughts!
