Shifting gears 180 degrees here, just a plug for the movie, United Flight 93. It’s an excellent treatment of the subject matter –none of this “made for TV smaltz” garbage — although, admittedly, it is not an easy movie to watch. I think I sat in my seat for about 10 minutes before I could move when I saw it in the theater last year.

Paul Greengrass, who directed the movie, was nominated for an Academy Award for his work.

If you missed it in theaters, it began a run on HBO this week.

It’s on tonight on HBO East at 7:00 CDT, 8:00 EDT.
