So I watch all the movie critics on Charlie Rose the other night, talking about the summer movies. All of them, without an exception, recommended Capturing the Friedmans and said it was by far the best movie of the season, if not the year.

I'd read all the press and synopsis of this movie and even saw the trailer for it and thought, yuck, this is American Idol, the Osbournes, and Survivor all wrapped into one flick. But I was persuaded to see it, by the glowing reviews from the experts.

All I can say is I should have trusted my instincts. I don't get it...how could I be so out of step with people who are experts on flicks?

Oh well, it was nice to get out of the house!
