Movie Review

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.

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.
