Soldier

Soldier was on TV today. I really enjoy most all of Kurt Russell’s movies and it got me to thinking there are those movies 4 Star epics like Gone with the Wind, and then there are the movies you really watch. You never actually start them, they’re always already on. The ones that you’ll sit down and watch, not on purpose, but because you were had a free moment and you sat down and started channel surfing, and there it was. Then you get hooked into watching the rest of it because, well, it was a pretty entertaining movie, and there’s that one thing that happens which is later in the movie and you really like that part. You could also get pulled away from it with no great effort to do something else like, pick up kids at school, eat, etc. There might even be another movie you like on another channel, so you kinda volley back and forth. And so here’s my guilty pleasures list of, “Oh cool, look what’s on”:
