night listener

I just watched "Night Listener" today. It's a new independent film starring Robin Williams. I saw the commercials for it starting just this week. Hadn't heard anything about it until then, but I was excited since it looked like it'd be a new suspense movie from with him, and I liked "Insomnia" and "One Hour Photo".

Well, it wasn't what the trailers made it out to be. That's not to say it was a bad movie; I liked it. I'm just having a hard time rating it. It's not bad or even just ok, it's good. But it's not great. The story's different, not quite something that most moviegoers will be used to, with lots of little twists (at least for me) from guessing where it's going to go. It raises a few good things to think about, like (to be general so as not to destroy plot points) "what can we believe about our existence?" Maybe that was to vague, but I'm trying to say that the movie is thought provoking.

I liked it.
