Commentary – The Vow
What drew me in, is an underlining theme which explores do-overs. When Paige wakes up from her comma, she can remember who she is, how to walk, talk, eat - however, she's lost the last 5 years of her life. She believes she lives at home with her wealthy, polished parents (Jessica Lange and Sam Neill), she's in law school and about to marry a handsome, business-minded guy from her social set (Scott Speedman).

Plus, when I see a preview screening, I’d prefer to get my post up by opening weekend. Well, you know the old cliche – better late than never. The Red Tails preview screening was sponsored by The Ben Franklin Global Forum, The Union League of Philadelphia and The Tuskegee Airman Greater Philadelphia Chapter. The pre-screening presentation was…
