Author Topic: Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story (2005) David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-23-2005 06:14 PM                        Am I the only one here who will admit to seeing this? Today, 1:00PM, Cinemark 17 in Springfield, House #13, SR-D. About 2/3 full. Very good presentation, good print, no complaints from me. Loaded with CRAP code in reel 3 though. This is every pre-teen girl's fantasy about having a horse. Well, ok, in this story she takes it to the next level, several levels in fact. Anything is possible, dreams can come true, everyone's dreams, not just the girl's. Well-acted by Kurt Russell and Dakota Fanning, beautifully photographed, nice soundtrack. Nicely paced without being frantic or "goosed" to keep it moving. Predictable, but in a satisfying way. There was applause from the audience at the end. 3.25 out of 5 stars from me.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-23-2005 07:08 PM                     I won't admit to seeing this because I didn't and never will. BTW, this has got to be the stupidest movie title of all time.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-23-2005 08:30 PM                        Aw come on Brad, this is such a nice movie! It's really really NICE! Admit it -- You want to see it!

Of course this IS horse country.  |  IP: Logged
