Los Angeles Times: Hollywood's leap of faith with 'Evan Almighty'

This movie looks like it'll be a good one.

You can see the trailer here.   As a modern retelling of the story of Noah, I think it is fitting that this movie is coming out now.  Looking at the world around us, we seem to be living like in the days of Noah.  However, thanks to my disappointment with the Pirates 3 movie, I don't think I'm going to see it on opening day.  I like seeing movies when the first come out - I guess in some ways it gives me a pop culture item to talk about "around the water cooler."  Seeing Spiderman 3 on opening day was fun - even if a little foolish to attend a 12 AM showing when I had work starting at 5 AM that day.  But I didn't like Pirates 3.  They squeezed a 30 minute story into 3 hours.

Since this is the year of the "three-quel," I did see Oceans 3 (not too bad) but really looking forward to Bourne 3.
