The Ice Storm

I guess I am going to review this because what happened today where I live.  And I Just watched it.

This movie about growing up during the seventies has a tragic ending, where the boy gets electrocuted. 

 The movie featured great acting, by Kevin Klien (In and Out), Segourney Weaver ( Alien Movies), Christina Ricci (Adams Family), Toby Macguire (Spiderman), Joan Allen (Bourne Supremacy) and many more talents such as Elijah Wood (Lord Of the Rings).  The cast works well together, and you believe that these characters live in the world they created.

The bowl of keys scene was the first time I have ever been exposed to wife swapping and that is an issue for another article.  Plus, the political turmoil of the time period influence each of the people's lives is interesting to watch.

I would say this movie was good. I enjoyed watching the characters being developed right on the screen.
