Film Opens September 28: The Kingdom

Mmmmmm.   You can almost smell the popcorn already.  You can almost taste the Milk Duds in your mouth.  You can hear the tinkle of ice in the sweaty paper cup full of nice cold Coca-Cola.

Or Pepsi.  Depending on which one your theatre carries. 

Bottom line?  It’s time to head to the movies. 

The Kingdom, a new action thriller starring Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, and Chris Cooper, opens this Friday.  Rumor has it, the movie also features a cameo appearance by one Mr. McGraw, star of the films Friday Night Lights and Flicka. 

As posted on his website: “McGraw plays Aaron Jackson, an oil worker employed by the Western Compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, whose wife is killed when a terrorist bomb goes off in the compound.”

I haven’t seen the flick, so I don’t know for sure…but I did hear some guys talkin’ about it.

The trailers look great.  Jamie Foxx (a good old Texas boy and piano player) can certainly bring the goods.  He was awesome – AWESOME – in Ray.  Chris Cooper is great in everything he does.  The Bourne Identity, A Time To Kill, The Patriot. 

And Jennifer Garner…well, I never caught “Alias,” but she led the whole cast in the “Thriller” dance from the old Michael Jackson video in 13 Going On 30.  How can you not like that?

I’m just sayin’.

So, I’ll be catchin’ The Kingdom this weekend.  Opening weekend is always the way to go…and it’s a great way to support my boy McGraw.

And I gotta do that; see you at the movies!
