[net.movies] The Falcon and The Snowman

Like it was starring Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn who are both totally cool.
I mean, after all, that was why we went to see it.  Well Timothy was just
a hunk as Christopher Boyce, i was like really totally jealous of his girl-
friend in the movie.  She was an okay actress, I guess.  Like, though, I
still don't understand why he stole all those boring governmental things.  Not
too cool.  Now he is prison, gag, for the rest of his life.  No more party
time for him.  The scene that really grossed me out though, was when he fed
his pet falcon.  Ugh, how could he break that poor bird's neck.  Still, over-
all, Timothy was just a dream in the movie.

Sean, like I didn't even recognize him.  His hair was short and dark.  And
get this, thru the whole movie, he like kept sticking his stomach out.  Not
very sexy at all, Sean.  Also, he never surfed once in the film.  He kept
sticking that white stuff in his nose all the time, gag.  Like man, his brains
were fried.  And he went off the edge on being a spy, he must'va thought it
was real neat to be one.  He even read all the books on it.

The movie covers Sean (Dalton Lee) in his drug dealings, his relationship
with his parents (I couldn't believe them, they seemed to never face the
truth, blaming it on his friends, all wrong).  I guess Dalton needed to feel
that his life was important, exciting, and worth something to himself and
his family.  Chris, only wanted to hurt his father, maybe.  They never seemed
to get along.  Like wow, though, what a change from studying to be a priest to
selling secrets to the Russians.  The boys were definitely out of their
league.  Like they were caught in a trap with no way out.  Bummer.

Like the movie was mostly good, it kept me interested.  I would give it
a 3+ on the scale -4 to 4+.
