"Bicentennial Man"

I think the genes are starting to kick in. I'm starting to rate good movies on my dad's "tear scale". One tear = good movie. Two tears = even better movie. Three tears... well, you get the idea.

This evening, "Bicentennial Man" -- one of my favorite films -- was on television. I actually happened upon it completely by chance after deciding not to go to bed early. Instead I sat down by the tv, turned it on, and -- boom. There it was, a wonderfully written story about a robot (played by Robin Williams) who learns what it's like to be human and to love.

For me, this is a two tear film. The first time I saw it in the theatres the "tear scale" didn't apply. But, this time it did. I guess it's just one of those movies that can tug at your heart strings. Great flick. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend it, especially if you enjoy Robin William's work.
