Movies, Film and My Opinion

 I got to see this movie on DVD, but I've loved the song all my life. I'm pretty sure it's one of the first songs I've ever memorized, as my mother loved Kenny Rogers so much. This movie doesn't follow the song exactly, but it tells of many gamblers, mainly Billy Montana, played by Scarecrow and Mrs. King star Bruce Boxleitner and of course, Brady Hawkes played by Kenny Rogers. Billy is young and plays poker anywhere he can, until he plays Brady. Brady wipes him out and teaches him a lesson. On the other side of things, Brady has a young son named Jeremiah, played by Ronnie Scribner. Jeremiah and his ma stay with a mean man named Rufe Bennett played by Clu Galager.

This really wasn't a bad movie. I didn't know what to expect from Pixar, but this movie caught my attention within 10 minutes and kept it. Elio lost his parents and his Aunt (which might not be his Aunt?) takes care of him. She's totally lost as to how to take care of a child as she is a career-minded woman who dreams of going into the astronaut program. She's close, but now she has responsibilities. And here is Elio - fascinated with space and exploration. And even sends a message out to the universe that Aliens will come and take him away. He gets his wish and is taken away to the Communiverse where they mistaken him for the Leader of Ah-Earth. The challenge: to find a compromise with Lord Grigon so that he doesn't take the Communiverse by force. In all of this, he befriends Lord Grigon's son, Glordon. Will Elio complete a deal to save the Communiverse? Will the ambassadors figure out that Elio is not the Leader of Ah-Earth? Will Elio make it back home or will...
