Never doubt me when it comes to a movie with good clothes!!!

On another note, I took SD to see Two Brothers tonight.  I give it a
very mixed review, although SD liked it.  I should just stay away from
animal movies because they always make me cry (particularly dogs and
cats) at some point(s) in the movie.  Nearly all of the people in the
movie were bad (reaffirming the opinion I already have that people are
generally not good) to some degree except the little boy.  There is a
scene where the little boy's mother has the servants pushing one of
the tigers, who is his pet, out of the house and the little boy is
screaming and crying not to send him away that was heartrending.  The
tiger cubs are terminally adorable.  There is a lot of tiger hunting
in the movie that I just found very disturbing.  At the end of the
movie there is a blurb about how there are only about 5,000 of this
type of tiger left and that it is up to people to save them, which is
a redeeming point.  I can't say that I would recommend this movie to
very little or very soft-hearted kids.  I found it disturbing, and I
am old enought to know it was just a movie, but little kids might
really get upset by some scenes.

I had to come home and hug my cat.
