Pelican Brief


Drink: Abita Purple Haze
Entrée: Jambalaya
Dessert: King Cake
Timing: Mardi Gras Weekend

Movie:
This sophomore John Grisham movie delivers.  Julia Roberts does what she is best at which is playing a character that is vulnerable but not completely helpless.  Denzel somehow makes us forget about his dashing looks & focus on the actual story which is a feat in itself.  The plot does not disappoint either with twists & turns that the most experienced film critics will not see coming.  The underlining theme is consistent with Grisham:  The ordinary citizen that has stumbled upon news meant to be kept from the public eye.  Then successfully exposes the powerful & corrupt while simultaneously being pursued.
Plus along the way we get some cool glimpses of New Orleans.
