'August Rush' ...

The trailer caught my eye ages ago, one of those situations where a movie is previewed many, many months before its release. So I waited. And then it arrived. And then I didn't get around to seeing it.

And then it was released on DVD. And my neighbor Rhonda (Hi, Rhonda!) e-mailed me with a recommendation to see it and I moved it to the top of my Netflix queue despite its "Very Long Wait" notation.

It arrived the other day. I watched it last night. It is Schmaltzy with a capital S, but I really liked it. I was, predictably, crying at the end.

And regretting that I quit music lessons as a kid.
