A Tip Of The Hat To A Local Boy In The Big Time

Filed under: Uncategorized — keelyem @ 8:05 pm

During my blog-break, Jeff and I saw “Super 8,” the biggest movie of the summer, I guess, and while I never really understood the plotline, I enjoyed it.

(This is not unusual. I almost never understand what’s going on, who’s the good guy and who’s the bad guy, whatever, in action/sci fi/adventure movies, and even with Super 8, I was much more fascinated by the relationships between the adolescent guys than with why the monster-thing needed metal).

But I would be remiss, or accused of being churlish, if I didn’t acknowledge that the star of the film is the son of a Christ Church nemesis of mine, Dale Courtney. I have a bit of, ummmmm, rancorous history with Courtney senior, but his now-14-year-old son, Joel, is one terrific young actor — engaging, believable, adorable, and entirely comfortable in front of the camera. He’ll go places, and the Courtney family has every reason to be proud of him.
