I like to go to movies knowing nothing about them.  Maybe just their name.  That is one of my favorite things to do.  Luckily, Andrew is the movie picker, so I usually don't know anything about the movie.

So, yesterday I only knew that the movie was named Children of Men, and I vaguely remembered seeing the poster for it with dirty children sitting against the wall.  When we got there, the poster is actually of Clive Owen (awesome!). I also found out it was a sci-fi movie (what?).  I have no idea which movie has the dirty children poster.  Maybe we'll see that one next.

Anyway, Children of Men was directed by Alfonso Cuarón, who also directed Y tu mamá también (And your mother too), which we loved.  Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, and Michael Caine, some of my favorite actors, are in the movie, and they are all great.  Especially Julianne.  She is usually cast as a fragile whack-job, but not this time, and she really pulled it off.

I don't really know what to say about it.  There is something unspeakably touching about the movie (but not in a heartwarming, fluffy kitten kind of way).
