Flash of Genius

I'm already looking forward to seeing this film about a determined individual who they tried to buy-off, and still said no on a matter of principle.

Remember the Titans *

This movie I saw for my second or third time about two years ago.

"People want to know ... Who we are. We are the Titans, the mighty, mighty Titans."

My friend has seen the real coach this movie was based on speak. I hear it's quite a story, what really happened.

This is definitely in my top twenty.



9.22.08 Originally I wasn't going to put up any clips and take a break for a while, but this movie is just too good, and too full of great material.



Here's one a little longer but it's Gettysburg, and the meaning is deep, and profound.



I'm still looking for the speech about the Titans, but no luck as of yet.

"In Greek Mythology the Titans were greater even than the Gods. They ruled their Universe with absolute power. That football field out there tonight, that's our Universe." (the soundbite was in one of the trailers, but it cuts it up a bit. I guess even YouTube isn't perfect yet, but it's still amazing for being just a few short years old.

Training Day

I didn't really like it, but Denzel is a phenomenal actor. I saw this a few years ago and heard a promotion for a showing of it in a couple of days as a reminder.

The Magnificent Seven

Quite a cast - and good for a time when men had guts. There's a lot more to be seen in this one, but I'm too tired to write about it tonight, and I think I'd have to see it again to really get it. - Our nation's changed a lot since the message this film intended to convey.

Young Frankenstein

I didn't get to see the whole movie, but I wish that I had. I enjoyed the satire, and would like to see it again. I also felt encouraged that a movie, intended to be that bad means just about anyone who wants to could do a film and it likely wouldn't be worse. :)
