JAMES FRANCO AND HIS UTILITY TOOL >>>

127 Hours, a film directed by Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire), is the movie adaptation of a real-life story you probably heard about - rock climber Aron Ralston's decision to saw  off his own arm in order to save his life after becoming trapped by a boulder near Moab, Utah. Later, he wrote a book about the ordeal - the aptly titled Between A Rock and a Hard Place. As far as legitimate drama goes, the story is full of it - and James Franco's performance as Ralston has been called Oscar-worthy by some.

127 Hours will open at the Grand Cinema in Tacoma tomorrow. According to Roger Ebert, it's a surprisingly entertaining film. Here's a tease to tickle your intrigue.
