Flash of Genius (2008)

Greg Kinnear does tortured so well. His character in As Good as it Gets (1997) was more tortured than the one in Little Miss Sunshine (2006) and this one, Bob Kearns, the inventor of the intermittent windshield wipers, is more like the latter. A professor who tinkered in the basement of his Detroit home, Kearns brought all of his 6 children in on the project. I agree with the movietickets.com critics who called it "slow," but I enjoyed it. This is short because I have three posts to publish today before I forget everything. Now I see why people stop blogging. We get behind!
