Water for Elephants
— Saw “Water for Elephants” and thought it was gorgeous to look at, set in a wonderful era, and based on what I bet was a really good novel. Reese Witherspoon’s very good, but Robert Pattinson’s only slightly better than I’d imagined, and Christoph Waltz is a little over the top. Even so, it was rather enjoyable. Who can resist running away (or back) to the circus!
