Movie Review

Grade: B- Peter Mullan and Pippen from "The Lord of the Rings" star in "On a Clear Day," a true story (or at least inspired by a true story) about a depressed husband and father who decides the best thing he can do for himself is swim the English Channel from England to France. Now, personally, when I'm feeling a little bit down, I find the best cure is some potato chips and a good movie, or at least a movie with some good looking women in it. I've never really had the urge to swim over 20 miles from one country to another so I can't really relate, but then again I can't imagine too many people have such an urge... or I'm just ignorant of my minority status.
