That Beautiful Somewhere

Well over a decade ago, A.W. Plumstead, an English professor at Nipissing University, wrote a novel called Loon. When I finally got around to reading it about three years ago, I loved it. This was about the same time Plumstead's friends succeeded in convincing him to make it into a movie.

The movie, That Beautiful Somewhere, was shown at the University last night, and though there are many differences between movie and book, it was quite fine once it got rolling: good cinematography, great soundtrack, and unbeatable performances by the leads. It had me on the edge of my seat by the end.

That Beautiful Somewhere is making the rounds of the movie festivals and is off to one in Cairo soon.
