‘The Adjustment Bureau’: Movie review, trailer

It's a movie with the dream logic so often missed in last year's "Inception," where a closet door may lead to a corridor of 48-inch mains in a pumping station or the green grass of Yankee Stadium.

It's also a movie where an actress playing a dancer dances credibly, and her character's success is reported on an inside page in the Arts and Leisure section, not in screaming headlines. Blunt, who elsewhere sings and plays the cello, may have crossed a line, becoming too talented to be contained by just one reality.

And "The Adjustment Bureau" offers another seemingly effortless performance from Matt Damon, a box-office success who has evolved into a movie star while maintaining his presence as an actor. Like this movie, Damon doesn't put a foot wrong.

This movie bears about as much resemblance to sf as a pig does to a lion. They both have 4 legs. Terrible romance that throws in very little credible metaphysical information.

Not up to research
I don't watch CNN, so I don't know about Jon Stewart, etc. (nor do I care). Do I HAVE to know about them to enjoy this movie? (BTW-not knowing about them has not hurt my bottom line).
