Dear GYA, I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see that new Superman movie. But, forget about all the CGI and all the overblown action, it's all about watching Kevin Costner play an American farmer. When you need an actor to fix a tractor or walk around a cornfield, nobody does it better than Costner. Anything to do this weekend better than 90 minutes of Kevin of Costner? - Hammy Froshlen, Sandy ---
