   Well, I went to see "The Alamo" this evening.   
      
   I wish I could say I'm impressed, but I'm not :(   
      
   I don't know where the 90 million bucks went, because 90% of the movie is very   
   slow   
   character development. So slow, and predictable, that it about makes you yawn.   
   The usual   
   frontier boastings, like "Davy Crockett can leap a river in a single bound,"   
   as one   
   nervous Mexican soldier shivers. And Jim Bowie flashes his great big knife,   
   which makes   
   those he doesn't like squirm on cue.   
      
   It doesn't really show you why the white Texans were upset at Mexico. A couple   
   of black   
   Texan slaves decide they don't want to get killed for their master's sake, and   
   they were   
   the ones I think most everyone could identify with.   
      
   Disappointed ...
