I SUSPECT THIS IS A MOVIE WORTH SEEING

A new film, open now in limited release and opening nationwide on 11/19 is 127 Hours which is based on the book by Aron Ralston detailing his harrowing survival of a climbing accident. Ralston ended up cutting off part of his own arm in order to free himself from the crevice in which he was trapped. The brilliant young actor James Franco plays Ralston. Mr. Franco was completely unknown to me until earlier this year when he somehow was persuaded to play a short-term role (two different times) on the daytime show "General Hospital" where his character was both creepy and charming - and a stone killer as well. The film looks to be a wrenching experience and yet, I believe I will go to see it. Franco is that good an actor.
